My nieces and nephews, who are in their 20s and 30s now, still have fond memories of us playing the Mario Party games, a lot of fun.

So cool to see someone talk a bit about Knockout Kings! It's sort of been forgotten after Fight Night took over, but the bones of Fight Night started with Knockout Kings

[@streetmagik3105]

Yes, originally Fighting Force was going to be Streets of Rage 4. At least it was pitched that way, but Eidos wanted it to be multiplatform and obviously SEGA wasnt cool with that and declined.

[@BlackMoore82]

Diddy Kong Racing, San Francisco Rush 2049, and Wave Race 64 remain my favorite N64 racing games.

[@GamingTheSystems1]

Note to anyone who does not know. Magical Tetris Challenge is not just another Tetris. It introduces new shapes to the mix, something 98% of the other Tetrises don't do.

[@supergeoff]

I really enjoy Magical Tetris Challenge. It is very fun and challenging

[@zmullaney]

Thanks.

[@toxicmanbaby1069]

The movie Episode 1 came out in May of 1999. It was the Special Editions of the Original Trilogy that came out in 1997. So it would've been impossible for the Racer game to exist before 99 since the movie didn't exist yet.

[@TIDbitRETRO]

Gauntlet Legends is the GOAT!

[@itsmatt517]

Star Wars Episode 1 came out in 1999, so the game being out in the same year made perfect sense?

[@chrisrj9871]

He may have confused it with the Star Wars re-release in 1997.

[@broissey]

He just pumps stuff out with very little research done and just the most basic commentary. I’m new to this channel and it’s kinda like comfort food but he’s not the most insightful content creator.

[@SuperKertiz]

Liked the video before I skipped the ad; that's how confident I am this will be good!

[@YouTubeAddict50]

Right?! Just like pizza: even if it’s bad , it’s still good. Lol.

[@JohnRiggs]

haha, well, glad you did. Unless you really love adblockers and 'liked' the ad for adblockers (which is weird)

[@SuperKertiz]

@JohnRiggs I'm fairly certain it counted towards your likes!!

[@GhostOfArtBell0935]

Shadow Man was such a criminally underrated game

[@Vindicator18]

In Australia, Beetle Adventure Racing got released as well as a reskin version called HSV Adventure Racing, with the cars being Holden HSV Commodores instead of VM Beetles.

[@metal--babble346]

Mario Golf RULES a fascinating display of cute graphics, and excellent physical simulation

[@JohnRiggs]

PLUM needs to return

[@forcedfeedbackclassicgamer5499]

Phantom Menace premiered in theaters in March of '99, Racer released in June or July that summer, so not really sure where you'd be getting the idea the game came out before the film... Beetle Adventure Racing is one of the best racing games on the N64, bit of a hidden gem nowadays. People definitely shouldn't be so quick to dismiss it merely because of the licensing.

[@JLAvey]

Jet Force Gemini, never beat it on account that you have to find every single one of those teddy bears.

[@Greasemonkey4540]

I love chameleontwist 2 I used to rent it at blockbuster all the time😢I’ll need to grab me a copy one day.

[@Sinn0100]

I have never heard of that game in my life. I wish you luck in finding a copy because that has to be rare. What kind of game is it?

[@jasonleman1396]

The Beetle was still a thing even later. My current car was an 2007 covertable. there is so little space in there. it has a back seat but nobody would ever be able to fit (little kids much less adults)

[@I_am_kandyman]

Resident evil 2 is my favorite 64 game for sure

[@Sinn0100]

Perfect Dark was (still is) my all-time favorite N64 game. It was the one game that got me to put down my Dreamcast controller. I bought it, and the memory pak deal on the same day. What a game! *Edit- I could have sworn I got Perfect Dark on the N64 in 1999.

[@ZEKESPILLEDINKMUSIC]

We all know that Superman 64 is going to be on this list as the worst N64 game. It's so bad that the people who play during the demo just give up.

[@thereviewsbrothers3854]

Still loving these videos. Looking forward to the next.

[@NurseDre]

Love the 64. This vid is a lot of fun!

[@PixelsNcreatureS]

I was playing Castlevania and Smash but I was excited by the Dreamcast launch. I prepared for it, picked up some games that were put out early and stood in line at target before they opened. I ended up being the only one in line 😂 and the people inside didn't know what I was talking about

[@laurenriley2943]

Duke Nukem Zero Hour was pretty good. I had the choice between that game and Army Men Sarge's Heroes. Zero Hour does not hold up well today due to how slow it plays, but it was great for its time. The only drawback was that there were no checkpoints in any of the levels. There were quite a few sections where instant death occurred. You also had to remember what you did previously in a given level. If you took an elevator and went to the second floor of a building, but the time machine part was through some vents that led down to the first floor only have to use the elevator again to continue through the level, you had to remember to get out of the way when you push the button for the elevator to avoid being squashed. If you were squished, then you had to start the level over again.

[@ChuckoD3]

For me, Superman 64 was a rental from Hollywood Video that went back before the 5 day rental period...

[@mjdf122]

I’ve seen and have all from 1980-Now what a life of gaming

[@madcasekc595]

The xena game is actually really fun. I've only played it on an emulator for first time recently. Its like street fighter but in 3D with swords.

[@joshuamackey2326]

I know it didn come out in 99 but this is the year i played the living poop dawg out of ocarina of time, the greatest game ever made( well at least in imo lol) it and breath of the wild. Hope ur doing well mr john riggs and i wish u and ur family a wonderful and safe merry christmas!

[@joeparrish4910]

I too have never been in a beetle nor know of anyone who had one. Pretty crazy considering there were so many on the road!

[@Red5standingby77]

Episode 1 came out in theaters in 99.

[@justme-ti1rh]

I am from California and loved nwa/wcw better than wwf/wwe

[@BlackMoore82]

As much as much people love No Mercy I prefer Virtual Pro Wrestling 2: Ōdō Keishō and WCW/nWo Revenge.

[@JohnRiggs]

Oh, same. Without a doubt VPW2 is the best wrestling game on N64

[@warlock253]

Man, that "Namco Museum 64" looks awesome! My grandma had "Ms. Pac Man" for gameboy, while my older bro had the Galaga/Galaxian for gameboy! they eventually grew out of playing those games.. luckily I didnt! as I still own their cartridges to this day!! "Sarge's Heroes" is pretty hard but still a lot of fun! That's one of those games that you're better off playing on an emulator with the quick-save..

[@stuffthings1417]

shadow's was the earlier star wars. blew our minds.

[@silveredgrunion7196]

I preferred wcw/nwo revenge by myself, but with wcw nitro,me and my family had a GREAT time with it. It was easier to grasp (or just easier to mash buttons and get lucky which evened the playing field.) We tried ALL the rings and cheats, and would just laugh. Terrible game, but such a great memory.

[@Stephen_Eee]

N64 was so great when you could get four controllers and 3 friends together. endless laughs with Mario Party, Kart, 007, NWO/WCW 😂 feel like I been the guy from your Mario Party story FOR sure 😂😂😂

[@lifespanofafry1534]

Now it’s wirelessly connecting controllers and playing with people 873 miles away. 🤔

[@TheNintendoDScollector]

Tetris ds ft nintendo is the g.o.a.t

[@Phattousai]

I remember they had just redesigned the VW Beetle in 1996 and had a strong marketing campaign. #Fahrvergnügen

[@danvelez5838]

I played superman 64 the night before my friends wedding.drinking hot damn lol.the LONGEST wedding talk,I'm on stage,the whole time trying not to run off stage,and barf😂 pure he'll! Superman64,should be mandatory at guantanamo bay!!😮

[@mjdf122]

1999 was a good year for the N64

[@tonycoffee7335]

Party like it's 1999!!..... Baby.... Ah limp bisket....

[@ronnied9960]

The Nintendo64 so good in my country. Greeting from Kingdom of Jolof. Merry Christmas. Sad about the Diddy in jail!

[@LatashaMorra]

My you have a blessed Saturday

[@CRASHZERO411-r9d]

Hello Bro

[@supergeoff]

Now I'm gonna party like is 1999

[@JohnRiggs]

(insert Prince sfx)

[@supergeoff]

@@JohnRiggs Yes🎆🎈🎈🎊🎊🎈

[@CapChronic]

Star Wars episode 1 came out in 1999.

[@Loewenzahnfanclub]

Viele Erinnerungen..N64 die Zeit wo alles außer 3d Out sein sollte und die meisten 3d Versionen Rech leer wirkten mit Nebel weitere Areale ..schön das die Zeit vorbei ist und heute 2d 2.5d und 3d möglich ist.

[@justbenelson]

I feel like Winback was closer to Metal Gear Solid for the N64.

[@JohnRiggs]

It, for sure, is.

[@imadeitupinmyheadakaimiuim3617]

20:40 war zone was good once you got to grips with it

[@jonnjonzz5702]

Star Wars Episode I came out in 1999, not 1997.

[@snbks4ever]

lmao "how I played Harvest Moon 64 is I took it out and played WWF Wrestlemania 2000 instead" the shade. As much as I enjoy Knockout Kings 2000 and easily the best imo for the N64 I do think there are better boxing games later. The Final Night series for the 360/PS3 era are pretty fun. Whenever I see one of these lists I'm always shocked at how many racing games there were for the system

[@justme-ti1rh]

South park was fun

[@Iron-Van]

What you said about Mario party when I first came out is how I felt about smash Brothers when it first came out I was like oh meh And then I rented it and oh my goodness I'm so glad I did I purchased it the next weekend

[@JohnRiggs]

I remember that! good lord. Well I guess it worked.

[@RedTabletTalk]

Riggs the Rabbit! Riggs the Rabbit!

[@jrockudont]

To us Winback was our metal gear lol

[@RDH7207]

Why is the gameplay so small? The giant borders are a little distracting

[@hw5091]

First I guess haha. Castlevania was very good for the time. Still playable for a 64 game

[@mclineohio]

Why are they milking the Tetris?

[@The_Badseed]

Best N64 games EVER are AKI wrasslin games.

[@jimsoczka9668]

Should've gotten Mario extreme foosball 64!

[@ZeroCoolYT]

Hi Riggs , how are you doing 👋😁

[@JohnRiggs]

chillin'

[@andrewsorenson6750]

More Quake for your take?

[@garrettbot143]

Give me zero g 2!

[@peterfleischer5459]

No Ogre Battle 64??

[@danbauer3669]

I thought you said MrDr's, not mergers... hahaha

[@burntyper]

64 was a big mistake. Every port for it sucked
