Nigger pls.

>>4721189
>"half the list are multi-plats"
>about a dozen out of 64
>most of which aren't even on PC

Serious question, is there even one game on this console that's worth playing in 2018? FPSes are better on PC, arcade racers are better on Dreamcast, collectathons are better not existing. Most of the major first party and Rare games have superior remakes. The fighting games are all crap and the multiplats are almost never the best version. The 3rd person shooter/action games have awful controls and the fighting games are all terrible. What's left, Wetrix?

No Tony Hawks Pro Skater?

Goemon's Great Adventure is a fantastic, if challenging game.

>>4721194
Well, let see... Doom 64 is excellent, but has since been ported to the PC (where it belongs). The Zelda games got superior versions on the 3DS, while Conker was remastered on the Xbox. Unfortunately though, these versions cannot be emulated like the N64 originals, so you're stuck with the ugly ass low poly and blurry originals if you don't own a 3DS or original Xbox.

Everything else is trash.

Tetrisphere

>>4721178
Well I'm not seeing either of the Chameleon Twists or Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon on that list, so give those a whirl.

>>4721178
None. There’s none. It’s a piece of shit console for 90s kiddies. The only Nintendo system worth a damn is NES.

San Francisco Rush

How could someone look at that list and not want to play one of these bad boys.

>>4721178
That fighting game list is fucked up
Mace is questionable and Dark Rift/War Gods are garbage.

>>4721351
I think all those are in fact all the fighting games on the system.

>>4721357

is this how N64tards deflect the fact that there are no good fighting games on the system?

>>4721371
I dunno, maybe? I don't give a shit. Fighters are all shit if you ask me - a bad genre played by bad people.

I'd say Robotron 64, Hybrid Heaven, and Ogre Battle 64.

>>4721357

2D platforming and third-person action selection is a joke
Adventure is kinda shit without Zelda
fighting is crap

Check out Vigiliante 8 as for vehicular combat, you can play it 4 players on the same screen. Other than that, can't really think of anything. But it is of lower quality than Twisted metal 2, at least when it comes to pure gameplay, because the cars and levels are nice.

Like on almost every console, there is 10 games top, rest is shit. Try more sports games if you are really into this, there should be more than 6.

>>4721178

I'm ok with this games but c'mon

>>4721205

>Any of those versions
>Superior

Both the 3DS Zeldas and the Xbox Conker completely botch their games aesthetics. Conker at least is a legitimately impressive looking game, but it loses its charm to appeal to an edgier crowd that weren't even interested. The 3DS Zeldas are just bright and ugly, I guess the smooth framerate is cool but there's no atmosphere there anymore.

Gauntlet's absolutely not an adventure game or rpg, at all

>>4721194
>What's left, Wetrix?
Has a Dreamcast port, so no

>>4721205
Live and Reloaded is worse than the N64 game. Worse multiplayer, worse atmosphere due to the game not looking like the N64 games it's parodying, more censorship, there's literally no reason to play the Xbox version.

Nigger, Gauntlet is basically just a more arcade-like Diablo. What are you smoking?

>>4721194
Plenty, just because you're a moron and don't know what games to play doesn't mean there aren't games worth playing. This isn't the Virtual Boy, SuperGrafx, Pippin, CD-i, 5200, Jaguar or 3DO, there are plenty of games worth playing that are the best versions of the games.

>>4721194
>bro, like, is there even a reason to own an N64? you just need a PC, Dreamcast, Wii and Xbox One so you can play all the inferior versions of the most popular games and still not have access to the rest
It's sad to me that, in the year of our lord 20 fucking 18, there still exists a person this retarded.

>>4721987
Some of the ports are undeniably better, though. Especially the ports of Rare games on Rare Replay, which are the exact same games but running at better framerates.

>>4721992
>Some of the ports are undeniably better, though
Such as?
>Especially the ports of Rare games on Rare Replay
The only one I would say is legitimately better is Jet Force Gemini. The rest have been mangled in various ways. Perfect Dark being a great example.

>>4721993
>The only one I would say is legitimately better is Jet Force Gemini. The rest have been mangled in various ways. Perfect Dark being a great example.

Explain your foolishness.

>>4721178
Metal Jesus helped me find the hidden gem Beetle Adventure Racing. It's probably better than 4 of the games in the racing category.

>>4721995
Okay, let's take Perfect Dark as an example. They fucked up the auto-aim, they "improved" the graphics by making a lot of the characters and guns looks like utter shit, they changed various details (such as the faces you can use for bots or the name of some cheats like DK Mode), for some bizarre reason removed a few features like being able to put elvis' head on a human body and the laptop gun now only being able to fire one clip in sentry mode (making it basically useless), introduced additional glitches such as fly-by-wire rockets not working correctly... the list goes on. Perhaps the worst thing is that they were really lazy in a few areas, such as hand models. In the original PD, it was impressive because each character model had a unique set of hands -- in the XBLA/RR version they reuse hands for a bunch of characters. A small detail, but sloppy. Sure, you get 60fps, but if I care about framerate I'll just emulate it on PC. The original is still the best.

>>4722005
Perfect Dark was always shit. Next game.

>>4722025
Obviously the PC version is far better, but as console RTS games go it's quite good. It even has some unique features and missions the PC version doesn't. Splitscreen on an RTS was cool, too. Don't knock it till you try it.

>>4721178
Needs Snowboard Kids 2.

I confess that I've only tried mostly first party games and a few rareware games, but I'm waiting for my everdrive to show up, and i'm looking forward to playing what I missed out on.

Might not be 300+ games, but I'm sure I can find at least 30 or 40 games that make my purchase worthwhile. That's about the average number of good games on any given console anyway.

>>4721178
Seriously? You fucking put Wetrix over The New Tetris for best puzzle games?

>>4722237
The list was made by a retard, Mario Party 2 is in Puzzle.

The gameplay is better on the Xbox due to it not running at 20fps. Censorship is removed through a patch, and nobody past the age of 12 cares about its multiplayer.

>>4722320
>nobody past the age of 12 cares about its multiplayer.
The best part about the game is the multiplayer. Besides, the Xbone port is better than the shitty OG Xbox port regardless.

>>4722320
xbox controlle sticks have too much deadzone.
N64 sticks, even loose as fuck, are more precise than the Xbox's, and since Conker has aiming, it plays better on its original system.
Also, 20fps is how the game was developed. Having a better framerate is alright, but that doesn't mean the game is unplayable at its original framerate, unless you're using an HD display.

>>4722329
>20fps isn't completely unplayable
Enjoying that cinematic framerate there gamer? Console plebs truly are pathetic.

>>4721178

>>4721189
All of the shooter ports are significantly different on N64 than PC (and Doom 64 is a straight-up new game)

derailing threads with console war faggotry should be a bannable offense.

>great
Still have no idea how Nintendo bamboozled an entire generation to adore such mediocre, style-over-substance shit games on their new platform. Guess they were so scared of Sega of America kicking their ass and saw how fucking easy it was to put out a shiny fucking pile of shit (DKC) to get tons of new and gullible gamers to eat shit and figured that would be their whole strategy for the N64.

Sure, there's a small handful of decent games. But nowhere near fucking 64. Holy hell. The "beloved" Mario 64, Zelda games, the horrific FPS games, and Smash are just such an embarrassment that I was honestly shocked when that garbage got such insanely high scores back then before I found out reviewers were paid off by Nintendo to further fool gullible gamers.

Screw that generation of game consoles (PS1 wasn't much better, and Sega just limped through it with its own handful of decent games) and screw gaming ever since.

Gaming died in the mid-90s.

>>4722462

>>4722462
>Sega of America kicking their ass
What.
Maybe in the late 90s when the NES was still their main system and the Genesis was out... but in the mid 90s? Anybody afraid of SoA's marketing?
You're senile, old man.

>>4722462
>N64 still assblasting faggots like this 20 years later
Lmao man, I fucking love everything about this console.

I agree there are probably aren't a full 64 games worth playing on this system, but there aren't 64 on ANY system. Surprisingly though, the majority of these games are actually quite good. The fact you'd even categorize games like OoT and SM64 as an "embarrassment" and legitimately well-made shooters like Perfect Dark or DOOM 64 as "horrific" is why I can't take your opinion seriously. I can totally see how someone might disagree with a game like OoT being called the best of all time, I can even see how you might argue it being nothing more than a 7/10, but a fucking embarrassment? Really dude? I'm sorry that the world grew out of 2D sidescrollers and beat 'em ups, I'm sorry not everyone is an autistic 45 year old virgin who associates three dimensions with bad gameplay, and most of all, I'm sorry for whatever happened to make you the miserable husk of a man you've become. Frankly, it sounds like you need some friends to play N64 with.

>>4722474
That's what I tell all you kids who apparently care more about style over substance shitgames instead of real games we had pre-N64. You're the ones that killed gaming.

Thanks a fucking lot. Go watch TV, that's more your speed anyway and what most of your "games" are more like anyway.

>>4722484

>>4722237
Have you even played Wetrix? That game is fucking awesome, probably the best puzzler I've ever played. New Tetris is just regular old tetris with gaudy colors and weird backgrounds, pretty much a bargain bin turd in every way.

>>4722485
SM64 is a horrible game with absolutely awful controls and a laughably bad camera. Perfect dark ran at what, 10 FPS and not only did you have a goddamn gamepad FPS control which is stupid and never should have EVER been a thing in gaming, but the N64 goddamn wonky pile of garbage at that. Doom 64 was the same. It is insanely telling that Doom64EX for PC with actual mouse and keyboard controls is so good and the N64 version is near-unplayable. And OoT is such a pain in the ass game with poor controls that it wasn't worth playing.

But it didn't matter to you kids. Shining paid-off reviews and Nintendo telling you all these games were GREAT was enough for you. Shame on you for falling for a huge goddamn brainwashing campaign by a washed-up company who struggled to even get the goddamn N64 out.

>>4722501
>SM64
>awful controls
At this point you just seem like a nintendrone who is falseflagging as an anti-N64fag in order to make the actual anti-N64 guys look retarded.

>>4722484
Love kids who don't know videogame history and wasn't around to see Sega absolutely destroy Nintendo initially until Nintendo decided to go full pandering with DKC and other shit SNES games which is the only way they could ever catch up.

Tell me I'm senile when I ACTUALLY REMEMBER MY FUCKING VIDEOGAME HISTORY? You're insane, kids.

>>4722493

I loved Nintendo in the NES and early SNES days when they weren't actively trying to destroy good gaming.

Seriously, compare Mario World and DKC's controls. Do it. DKC is fucking horrible while SMW is near-perfect.

Really? Never had a problem at all, even when I was 7 years old.
>Perfect dark ran at what, 10 FPS and not only did you have a goddamn gamepad FPS control which is stupid and never should have EVER been a thing in gaming, but the N64 goddamn wonky pile of garbage at that.
It actually ran around 30 most of the time and only dipped in a few story missions or if you played with lots of bots.
>Doom 64 was the same.
No, actually it wasn't. DOOM 64 actually runs at a locked 30fps, and I'm pretty sure you don't need a mouse to play a game originally made for arrow keys.
> It is insanely telling that Doom64EX for PC with actual mouse and keyboard controls is so good and the N64 version is near-unplayable.
Lmao bro if you think DOOM on a gamepad is "unplayable" you are legitimately shit at video games.

Provided the devs actually tried, the N64 version was usually better. If there was actual effort put into the N64 version, the only thing better on the Playstation is the audio, unless the port was horribly botched.

Vigilante 8, Rampage World Tour and Gauntlet Legends are great examples.
