I bought an Everdrive 64 (since n64 emulation is still spotty) and I never realized how much mediocre games there were for the system. But then there's also 10/10 games with great replay. Still nice to have the whole library at my fingertips.

It was new tech and there's bound to be lots of dogshit titles.

Hell, a LOT of the titles were dogshit. Just with new flashy (for the time) OMG 3d!!

I say this as an old fat guy who's first console was an Odyssey. Every big leap in tech does this. Look at the VR shit on steam right now....dogshit, almost all of it.

Well the third party support of the N64 consists mainly of Midway games, this should not be very surprising.

>>4398096
I feel that applies to the Playstation moreso. While the N64 is often very ugly, it does feel like it was meant to play 3d games. When the Playstation doesn't rely on pre-rendered backgrounds, the result is almost always sickening.

>> No.4398158

Yeah, there's not a lot of great stuff outside of Nintendo and Rare releases. And a lot of the other decent games it had, were available as better ports on either the PS1 or Dremcast.

I can agree with that for sure.

I think the PS1 games have not aged very well at all. But to be honest the n64 games haven't aged too well either.

Yeah, it was too new of a technology so almost every game worked differently than in the 16 bit generation. There's a lot of trial and error and really shitty graphics in it, but it has a lot of revolutionary games too, because of the same reason. I would say that, with the atari gen and the 8bit gen, it is the one that has aged the worst.

Eh, it has a decent ratio of good:bad games compared to many other systems's libraries.
Be sure to check out third party games like Goemon. For some people, Nintendo and Rare games justify the N64, but I think there's good 3rd party stuff on the N64 that's definitely worth playing.
I play a fair amount of N64 combined with Saturn and Playstation. In fact nowadays I use Saturn and N64 more, PS1 not so much, although I still replay favorites from time to time and try new games, I gravitate more toward the other 2.
I try to play new games I never played before, but sometimes N64 1st party games are irresistible. Like the other day I did a full playthrough of SF64, haven't played it in years, had a total blast. I guess that's when your comment about "10/10 games with great replay" comes in.

Goemon games are definitely good. The N64 Bomberman games are classics as well in my opinion.

This is making me wonder how many good 3rd party non-Rare games we can think of for the 64. The Chameleon Twist games are both pretty fun, though framerate drops in the first game could be a dealbreaker for some.

I was stunned to find out yesterday that F-Zero X had an expansion on some CD console in Japan that added 12 tracks / 2 cups.
1. How do I play this? I have project 64 so can I just emulate with that?
2. Do the new tracks have staff ghosts?
3. Are the new tracks any good?
4. Is the expansion like Warcraft TFT (new content, gameplay mechanics, music etc, i.e. can't play game without it once you've tried it) or is is more like Final Doom (no new content beyond more levels with same textures).

they've been converted to rom format now and can be played on normal n64 hardware. (even flashcarts)

N64 has more good games than its two competitors did by a mile. If you want a system with lots of mediocre games, play the PS1. The N64 probably has the highest ratio of good games to total library of any console. You've got all the Nintendo and Rare classics which are a few dozen on their own, and on top of that you've got some other great shit like Doom 64, Wetrix, Tetrisphere, Quake 2 (which is basically a unique game), Ogre Battle 64, etc. The N64 is the best of its generation, bar none.
