What are the must have games for the Nintendo 64? Is there anything appart from Mario 64, both Zeldas and Banjo Kazooie?

>> No.4882803

Kirby, Starfox, Goldeneye, a few FPS like Doom and Duke, albeit not as good as their PC versions

Actually has a few nice exclusive content and traits. Not superior to the Dramcast or later versions, but better than the original PS for sure. Also no loading times is always a plus.

Why is replacing tank controls a plus? Why do "violence options" matter? I think the N64 version is probably the worst one to recommend considering the audio and textures.

>> No.4882826

>>4882803
I wouldn’t bother with any of the FPS games. I know /vr/ hates this term but the N64 library has probably aged the worst out of any major console. So much of its appeal when it was current involved the multiplayer party games that aren’t much fun to play now.

They are fine even if they have some weaknesses. Sure the voices are tinny but the music sounds perfectly fine (some extended tracks were pruned down but literally shit most people would not notice) and the sound effects are now properly encoded in 3D space rather than stereo pan.

As for the character model textures they don't matter considered the actual character models look so much less jaggy than the PS1 version it's ridiculous. And the backgrounds? Sure they look a bit blurry but they don't suffer from as nasty dithering as the PS1 version does so it's a reasonable trade off.

Again as somebody else wrote above, on balance it's definitely better than the PS1 version even if it's not the best version.

>replacing
It's optional, not a replacement. You can still use tank controls.
Violence options don't matter, but the item randomizer is nice for replays. Also exclusive costumes, albeit simply cosmetic, is also nice and exclusive to this version.
I'm not saying this is the definitive version of the game, as I said you're better off playing it on DC or later version, but if you're a fan of RE2, the N64 version is worth playing. Even Hideki Kamiya himself (who usually hates ports of his games that weren't done by him) was impressed with it.
>audio
You never played it, right? The audio on RE2 N64 is quite good, thanks to Factor 5.
>textures
I mean, it's not like the PS1 version is any better, but just use a CRT to play SD games.
That said, RE2 is not a game I'd put as a priority for "must play" N64 games, since it's not even exclusive.

>What's the best way to get a decent image on my LCD TV?
RGB or HDMI mod with the VI deblur feature. It's literally as good as it's ever going to get because it only disables the N64 filter desired for CRTs while keeping the ones that actually improve the image quality.

Tank controls were just a workaround for the controller limitations at the time. It’s not the way it was ‘meant to be played’ or anything. Being a purist about this is stupid.
