[@adol4444]

I never play nintendo 64

[@ck7181]

Good video, but I'm missing some games. Buck Bumble Space Station Silicon Valley Conkers Bad Fur Day

[@josebermeasrandomchannel9467]

Yes there is one it's called Conker's bad Fur day

[@EdinMike]

Chameleon Twist was great and unique ! One of the best random games I picked up as a kid.

[@pforgottonsoul]

yeah i remember just finding it by chance at a blockbuster once.

[@astrodome1994]

Glover’s one of my favorite games of all time! Needs a lot more love IMO.

[@TurkeyFaceX]

It recently released on PC via Steam. So, its had some recent "love".

[@MINK2393]

Facts in my top 10 favorite N64 games.. One of my main childhood games and one of the most unique platformers ever made

[@RileyDia]

Needs more Glove

[@coustegame]

I think there is at least one weird game not in the list, and who was fabulous : Space Station Silicon Valley. Taking the control of kind of all sort of animals with specific power (a fox on ski, with rockets and boost for example) was really really strange and funny

[@hastysardine1]

Yeah man had it as a kid too was a lot of fun and another one they didn't mention Gex the Gecko was a lot of fun too

[@DiemPraeclarum]

I was surprised this one didn't make the list. Also one of my favorite N64 games!

[@Dzuno18]

Other weird N64 games: - Buck Bumble - Clayfighter 63⅓/ Clayfighter Sculptor's Cut - Conker's Bad Fur Day - Space Station Silicon Valley - South Park - South Park Chef's Luv Shack - South Park Rally - Blast Corps - Rampage World Tour - Rampage 2 Universal Tour

[@blindreddragon]

I am personally hoping Mischief Makers comes to the N64 online I loved that game so much, truly wish it got a sequel or something, But every time it comes up, I always quote Prof Theo, "Boy am I glad to see you, Marina"

[@Einfacha_bua]

A gem on the platform

[@jessicaswinbourn.320]

Mischief Makers is one of my favorite games for the N64, and I too would love to see it online or brought to the switch

[@bradtussey827]

Glover is so underrated it NEEDS much more love if I can find a N64 and a copy for a decent price I'll pick it up

[@bulrug7060]

I still have my copie from waaaaay back.

[@renesanchez5333]

Yasss put Glover on the switch!

[@armondo74]

Thanks for the walk down memory lane. The N64 was the very first console I ever own as a kid and glover was the very first game I ever own as well.

[@MINK2393]

Same!! Glover was my first 64 game along with Pokémon Snap… Even before I played Mario 64… Glover was my introduction into a open world 3D game

[@simongoj]

Goemon is probably my favorite of the weird N64 games

[@laurentgully267]

I played it today 😍

[@eshkazaire1002]

Me too

[@mattiasolsson1523]

So Conker’s bad fur day isn’t a weird game as we thought?

[@Highretrogamelord]

I expected to see Space Station Silicon Valley on this list.

[@F_L_U_X]

I remember getting to the Olympics/Track stage in Mischief Makers and couldn't figure out what to do before I had to return it to Hollywood Video

[@traviscooper2205]

Loved Hybrid Heaven. The fighting gameplay was so good.

[@inexpugnabilis]

Same

[@jeffreywilliams8499]

Mischief Makers was my aunt first N64 video game she brought when I was a little kid

[@impact-go9086]

Mystical ninja was one of the first games I had for the n64 and its still one of my favorite games to this day. Sidenote, the games silliness and over the top dramatics as well as the theatrical concept comes from Kabuki Theater, an ancient Japanese style of performance art that is still practiced to this day

[@Twizer911]

Glover made me cry as a kid because the first level was fucking terrifying

[@Historicutuber]

Mischief makers was so good

[@jamalvargas6146]

Not a Huge N64 Person But I Did Enjoy WCW\NWO Revenge and Mace The Dark Age

[@1ammeteor]

Glover needs a remake asap

[@angelagarcia3011]

Hybrid Heaven was awesome but definitely obscure. The combat system was pretty unique.

[@Assassin-ys5vw]

I still own chameleon twist 1 and 2 and Glover to this day funny story when I was a kid my mother bought me chameleon twist by accident thinking it was a Pokemon game because as a 90s kid I was all about Pokémon shocker but my mom was the typical mom for Pokémon everything is a pikachu and anything anime related or cartoony looking is Pokémon well hard to believe I actually enjoyed the game Pokémon stadium is of course leagues better but chameleon twist was no doubt a hidden gem I would have never played had that mistake never happened 🤷

[@ProfessorJayGaming]

Yo I LOVED Hybrid Heaven!! 👏

[@TxwjKuaSivYis]

Same here. Hybrid heaven was underrated.

[@BlestNekun]

A weird fighting game I used to play on the N64 was Bio F.R.E.A.K.S. Pretty bloody and I believe you could fight even after losing limbs. Fun! 😜 😎🍻😎

[@spyry7682]

Glover was one of my favorite n64 games and mischief makers as well!!

[@samusbionicle]

Glover and Chameleon twist were two of my favorite games growing up as a kid! Wish they’d remake them! 👍🏻🦎

[@taylorjames14]

Body Harvest was so underrated

[@_Guardian]

Man I love Glover Brings back memories

[@haunter27]

Goemon is seriously one of my favorite N64 games!

[@luliby2309]

I've played a whole bunch of these! I had a pretty sweet N64 collection as a kid (still do, actually) and so a lot of these more offbeat choices I've played. I've played Glover, Tonic Trouble, Earthworm Jim 3D, Rocket, Chameleon Twist, and Mischief Makers. I sadly haven't played Mystical Ninja, but I have played Goemon's Great Adventure (could also make the list). I still have all those games I've played except Chameleon Twist and Mischief Makers because we only rented them and never bought them. I'm looking for them to actually own them.

[@BibBubDude]

Oh. My. Gosh. Robot on Wheels! I have been searching for what that game was called LITERALLY all my life. I’m 27 and when I was like 5 we went to Blockbuster and I rented this game. I remember not knowing what the heck I was doing on this game and just running around everywhere. And literally my whole life I would sit and think about this game and wonder what it was called. I even tried googling it to try to find it and I was just never googling the correct thing. And I randomly clicked on this video and it was on here. Wow…. Just wow…

[@danielplatts9446]

I owned it, and it was actually pretty fun. Of course it was difficult just based on the limitations of they system, but unlocking a new world with a new theme and new powers was pretty cool.

[@the_bacon_god]

Glover made me cry as a kid, itwas so hard getting through that sword\pirate level!! lol (Tonic was a damn Nightmare as well)

[@randydrew66]

I had mystical ninja as a kid and my god was that a weird one I loved it and was so surprised to know that it wasn't the first game

[@TurkeyFaceX]

True these are weird entries. Video games as a whole were just a different beast back in the day. This was a totally different era and with it being the earliest generation to focus on games with 3D models many developers didn't yet know how to translate the weird ideas that sort-of worked in the past into a 3D space. Honestly, some of the classic SNES and Sega Genesis games were equally bizarre, like Earthworm Jim and Home Improvement: Power Tool Pursuit.

[@zenbmonk1016]

Weird...Glover is like a cool, Mario 64 style game. With some unique ideas for puzzles.

[@aron88205]

Kooky as it was Mystical Ninja was an absolute classic!

[@jessicac5934]

Very happy u included my one of my favs hybrid heaven

[@michaelmullner7536]

No Space Station Silicon Valley?!?!?!

[@shanebigfella7884]

One of the first few games I owned on the N64 was Glover. I got it as birthday gift. Great memories

[@blizziboitv]

Mischief makers is so slept on

[@JamesMSmithsDeadYouTubeChannel]

I said it once before and I'll say it again: I REALLY have a hard time seeing what people find so bad about "Earthworm Jim 3D" when they literally praise and critique "Super Mario 64" and both "Banjo-Kazooie" titles for the exact same thing... Plus, the uninvolvement of Douche TenNipples and the fact Dan voiced Jim again almost makes it, dare I say, BETTER than the original...

[@melaninking199]

The control scheme in Golden Eye is so hard and weird to get use to no cap. But i enjoy having fun when i play it

[@Dtgray12]

I never beat mystical ninja but it was very fun.

[@corywilliams7523]

Body Harvest was a gem for it's time I remember playing it for hours on the weekends when I was 7-8 years old

[@newgameaaaa]

Not too long ago I played Glover and yeah kind of weird. I have Hybrid Heaven, but havent played it yet. I played Body harvest a little. It didn't seem that weird. Out of all these, Iggy's wrekin balls seems the most weird, but even then, not too weird.

[@klavair8978]

Let's be honest, Banjo-Kazooie was pretty wierd Highly recommend playing Mystical Ninja

[@funkmasterfrica4390]

Was waiting for Space Station: Silicon Valley at the end, that game is insane

[@Kschreck]

Space Station Silicon Valley is another rare gem on the N64 that has been long forgotten.

[@dvdbox360]

that powerbomb on intro LoL

[@jonathansmith2382]

I thought Glover was already strange the moment I layed eyes on it's label picture on it's N64 cartridge.

[@ecwdude17]

Glover. Gotta love the glove!

[@verguco6051]

so weird to see mishief makers mentioned in any place, what a masterpiece, its so japanese is weird it reach the west but thanks god so i could play it

[@TheKingGoesFirst]

I think Tonic Trouble was meant to be a tester for rayman on the console if I’m not mistaken. The game is pretty fun and funny how newmans own popcorn is in the game 😂

[@asa2002]

Its odd one of the biggest things about Body Harvest being the prototype 3D GTA, is the sheer size of the levels. I believe the combined size was the size of Brazil when i originally read about it. If it was each level....then oh my days! lol

[@TheAshCooper]

Glover was wicked, I almost forgot I had owned that

[@ThePatrickFamilyBand]

Should've given the Earthworm Jim 3D project to RARE

[@mitmurod]

Glover was great. I loved it!

[@CrazyGamerDragon64]

Yeah the N64 had a lot of crazy games, my best friend at the time lived renting these games from Blockbuster & playing them

[@rogelioramirez5274]

I expected clayfighter to be on here

[@MikeRetroModz]

Mine was Robotron 64 lmao.. so weird yet so simple and addictive

[@natejoe9924]

Yes I played and beat Glover I 100% of that game and I used to guess colds by the swing set I was easy to guess codes

[@shadowwolf1735]

Complete honesty a friend let me try glover for a few days & I’ve heard of & seen earthworm Jim but all the others I have no clue about

[@kennethgubbels2041]

Body Harvest is one of my favorite games of that generation. Still plug the N64 in once in a while to play it.

[@riftshredder5438]

I would have also included a game called Tetrisphere, it's Tetris but on a 3D sphere

[@fivejedis]

Hope these games get added to the NSO N64 service. Lots of these games look interesting and seem like they're stuck on N64.

[@herrypottier4201]

Omg thank you for highlighting mischief makers!!!! It's one of my fave N64 games that are a lost gem!!!! Nintendo release it on the switch!!!!

[@Gaming_auf_Ex]

No Mario? A Man wo is Immortal and cant age. He is since 1982 35 years old. This heavy overweight plumber stealing all the Gold and items from most Peaceful enemys they just passing by. On his strange quest to resque almost every day a Princess who rules over Mushroom peoples in her Mushroom Kingdom. Mario have to slide through gigantic drainpipes to progress the game or find secrets or Gold. But he can eat Poisen Mushrooms to make his Body Growth almost Trippe his size. (Mario also eat Mushroom Peoples?!) And if he eat Flowers, he can Shoot fireballs out of his finger. But there are more things... Evil Mushroom Peoples called Gumbas?! You have to kill them the Rescue the Prinzess to 128. time from a Lizzard - Turtle - Dinasour ?! But what i never forget. Mario hit his "friend" Yoshi a Baby Dinosaur every single time with his Fist on his head to force him to eat the Enemys. What kind of Friendship is this?! And all Charakters are not allowed to talk. They talking with there throughts?! Not a single Charakter can talk or have a voice. This is really Creepy. Only some strange noices they make or Speaking 100 of Words only by saying: Okay. Or Lets go. I really wonder why Mario is not at first place.

[@pharoahsensei]

The funniest part of mojoPLAYS is the lack of original gameplay footage. Really had to “outsource” footage from other YT channels! 😮

[@MillerThyme]

Chameleon Twist 1 and 2 was a sleeper... just like snowboard kids

[@justboschma5047]

I played 8 of the 10 games on the list lol

[@renesanchez5333]

Glover is my top fav n64 game. Please put it on the switch! Ps..Glover has a fire sound track

[@denconatorgaming3463]

mishif Makers one of my favourite N64 Games *-*

[@w.i.n.k.4]

iggys wrecking balls was such a great game

[@iraford5788]

Neat list.

[@TheRmaster86]

Starshot: Spacecircus fever! It was the pure horror! PLEASE look at that game if you like it weird, it easy should be rank 1-3.

[@josephjennings3146]

Huh..... What is that in the background of this frame 6:21 ? Sly cooper and bernie? Like ... Oddly familiar even if not..

[@andrewortiz5797]

Where's Clay fighter 63 1/2!!!! We all were expecting Clay Fighter to be on the list as it's the weirdest game!!

[@l0newolf23]

Had glover when I was a kid thought it was a hamburger helper game 😂

[@CBlade0]

I essentially grew up on the N64. This explains everything, and now I can cancel therapy

[@Cbrunning849]

Starting with hybrid heaven haha

[@Txpk210]

Hybrid heaven was an amazing game as a kid

[@jasontachin]

rw:there was even these 2 odd n64 games that my bro and i played too Star Shot of SPACE CIRCUS and TETRIS SPHERE .

[@JerettFranklin]

Dude earthworm Jim was a cool platformer for SNES and for them to try it on N64 must've meant that they had some kinda success prior right?

[@calvinspencer717]

U can see sly on the wall in that unicycle game

[@erainmartinez8175]

Glover is my favorite game

[@natejoe9924]

Mischief Makers I did beat it but not fully you had to find Collectibles to see the whole ending I never got the whole ending but I did read it if you can consider that

[@GamerFunOriginallyAarush]

Weird…

[@opal-blue8939]

No Buck Bumble?

[@dcloud3791]

My childhood!

[@StephenPaulChaseJr-nn1ng]

Earthworm Jim 64!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@sergioroberto2546]

Delicious madness🤯

[@joseaguayo6802]

I forgot about glover!!!

[@Moviegoerx]

Played Glover. Rented it 2 or 3 times as a kid.

[@danielespinoza953]

Noo body harvest is a underated game and a classic gem of the n64 and the best i still play it every year a once

[@bernardomunozgarrido6671]

Blast Corps

[@jeremyscout3464]

I vaguely remember renting Hybrid Heaven but didn't like it. I've never cared for RPG mechanics

[@Canadiansamurai]

Mystical ninja starring Goemon is sooo goood!!!

[@whentheworldwasatwar8717]

Mischief Makers, Glover, Mystical Ninja are some of the best games on the N64, all 3 are in my top 10

[@BlueGriffin20]

Huh. Was that shake game a precursor to Warioland shake it?

[@teckoh8997]

OK, where is Space Station Silicon Valley?!?

[@natejoe9924]

I play body Harvest I couldn't beat it not that it was hard it was the cryptic messages I can only get past the first mission body Harvest was hard to figure out but I did play it
