I like how on those wrestling games the characters just slide around without walking. And these are as good as wrestling games get, lol.

[@SegaLordX]

I honestly think that's one of the reasons it plays so well. It literally slides from move to move so smoothly it just feels right. Doesn't look to realistic, but the end result feels amazing.

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

@@oscarzxn4067 exactly, both Sega Lord X and SNES Drunk show that you be a fan of either Sega or Nintendo and still love games from either company or any console and I loved my N64 even though I was more of a Sega fan at the time but I didn’t buy the Saturn due to it not being as popular as the PlayStation which I had sold to fund a purchase of a VCR when the N64 wrestling games were hitting their stride but I kept my N64 and rode out that generation with it and it was created some truly unforgettable moments for me as a gamer.

A man in a Hawaiian shirt came up the escalator eager to purchase the new system. Setting him up with the games, needed and optional accessories, we chatted about our love of video games for about 45 minutes and he was one of the nicest people I had ever met! It was Robin Williams! 😁

​@@gameshack1985 VPW2 is the best of the AKI wrestling games by a wide margin imo. MMA/kickboxing modes, none of the No Mercy slowdown, deeper CAW suite, unlockable moves from Revenge and WM2000, customisable logic/AI etc. Revenge is still my personal favourite for the nostalgia but VPW2 is just AKI wrestling perfected. Westerners got extremely stripped back experiences in comparison.

[@JustinC721]

The thing I appreciate the most about this generation of consoles is how they were each genuinely different from each other with their own unique strengths and drawbacks. This made each console worth owning IMO. Though I think Sega gets a little bit of shame for giving up too early and not releasing their JRPG library in the west. I think things could have played out alot different for them if they had done that.

[@bigbaddawg101]

Growing up poor, I didn't have access to the high quality N64 games, so all I could play was the unpopular stuff that was available at the rental store. To this day, I have never played any of the Zelda games for the N64. But some of the unpopular games that I got to play were top tier, like Ogrebattle 64 and California Speed.

[@Vulpas]

[@IcePakOG]

Wow, an N64 Top 10 without Goldeneye is almost unimaginable and probably considered sacrilegious by many in today's toxic online gaming community. It's certainly one of my favourites on the system thanks to the countless hours I spent playing it with friends in multiplayer. But I'm glad you enjoyed the console and its games. And it's good to see a list that's not predictable. Mad props for putting Sin and Punishment on your list, too. You also make a great point about how the game libraries of the systems in that generation, especially the Saturn and N64, complemented each other instead of being essentially the same like in today's gaming world, making them all worth owning for their specific game libraries.

[@heroinpenguin666]

For anyone who loves the AKI-engine pro wrestling games on the N64, I can only heartily recommend the "Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 - freem edition". It's the most developed/expansive version of the AKI developed engine, translated into english, with lots of your favourite and greatest pro wrestlers added to the roster if they weren't already in the base game. On top of that you get a great wrestler creator. Great video! I like the nod to NBA Hangtime, which would be on my top ten. Smash Bros. is not on the list to my surprise, but everyone has they're own taste and hardly anyone was able to play all the best games on the N64 back in the day, as kid, teen or even young adult, you just don't have the money.

[@Arthur-uu3px]

If you want to check out some of the more obscure great games on the N64, I suggest both of the Ganbare Goemon games on the platform, Space Station Silicone Valley, Rocket Robot on Wheels, Robotron 64, Mischief Makers, Ogre Battle 64, Blast Corps., the Snowboard Kids games, and Diddy Kong Racing just to name a few. Some of these games aren't exactly obscure come to think of it, but all of them are definitely worth playing in my opinion.

WCW/nWo Revenge was part of my childhood. Fridays and Saturdays my brother and friends would play 4 player, along with Goldeneye, NFL Quarterback Club and NFL Blitz. So much fun.

We were supposed to only demo for 10 minutes before moving-on, but my bro and I would spend hours there on Sundays, starting a new file each time, and competing against each other on how far we could get how quickly before leaving. We were never kicked-off because we would always draw a crowd as we learned new tricks and shortcuts. After a couple of months the store manager thanked us, as thanks to us they sold twice the number of N64's and games on Sundays than any other day of the week.

Hey, I took that photo of the Babbage's store in the beginning of the video. :) It was taken at the Wilton Mall, NY store. I was an assistant manager at this time. I had just bought a Kodak DC-260 (1.2mp) digital camera and brought it with me to work that day. This would have been from December 1998. The photo is of my friends, Steve K, and Tim M.. Those were the days. I loved working there! Oh, and I took the Zelda standee, PlayStation neon sign, and even the 9" monochrome CRT (used with our register POS), home with me. I still have them today. 😁 Soon after this photo, I left the store to take over management of another Babbage's store in the capital region. I helped ready other stores for the Dreamcast launch, as well as the PS2, and Xbox launches. Some of the best years of my life were at these places. It was a challenging, and sometimes (Black Friday - January 15th) stressful position, but where else are you going to be surrounded by stuff you LOVE, and get paid to chat with customers about video games!?

[@PookaBot]

I always thought Forsaken 64 was an under appreciated game. It's easily one of the best 4 player split screen games ever, and despite being beautiful with amazing dynamic lighting effects it runs very smoothly for the most part. If you ever plan an N64 party definitely grab it.

[@zed-xr4353]

I was watching some of your other top ten videos the other day and thought to myself "I wonder if SLX will do a N64 top ten"? 😅 And here we are!

[@JE-nr6xw]

really good list. f zero x, star fox 64, ocarina of time, and mario 64 were my childhood. 10/10 games

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

I traded in Revenge to pre-order No Mercy, then got a second cheaper copy of Revenge later on because I missed the roster. I still played No Mercy more, can't beat a true character creation, but Revenge always had a place in my rotation. I loved the intro that had the trucker stop in front of Sting, only to say, "What!?" I'm certain that's the same trucker that drove into Raccoon City and got bit, then later nearly ran over Leon and Claire.

N64 video = super LIKE ❤

[@werewolf_samurai]

My top 10 10 - Turok 2 9 - South Park 64 8 - Wrestlemania 2000 7 - Goldeneye 007 6 - WCW/nWo World Tour 5 - WCW/nWo Revenge 4 - Star Wars Episode 1 Racer 3 - Duke Nukem 64 2 - Mario Kart 64 1 - Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time

[@joesshows6793]

Aki wrestling still number 1!!

[@wills.364]

The two Zelda games are top notch

[@josephstewart7256]

Solid list. But no love for RareWare games besides Goldeneye? I think Diddy Kong Racing and Banjo Kazooie should have gotten honorable mentions. Also, Super Smash Bros was a legendary experience as well.

[@who432]

Yessir! No Mercy is great but Revenge is the greatest wrestling video game ever imo

[@SRPC21]

Mine (no particular order): 1. Mystical Ninja 2. Mario Kart 64 3. Mario 64 4. F-Zero X 5. Wrestlemania 2000 (preferred WCW but this was a better game imo) 6. Pokemon Stadium 7. Star Fox 64 8. Banjo-Kazooie 9. Star Wars: Shadows of The Empire 10. Mario Party

[@TheBradRules]

I love your top 10 lists. They are usually surprising because they feel more personal and don't often include what you'd expect.

[@riversart2030]

Nice list Mr. X, here's mine- 1. Ocarina of Time 2. Super Mario 64 3. Majora's Mask 4. Perfect Dark 5. Goldeneye 6. Diddy Kong Racing 7. Harvest Moon 64 8. Mario Party 1, 2, 3 9. Banjo Kazooie 10. Star Fox 64

[@UltimateGamerCC]

while i played, beat and completed Majora's Mask, it is one of my least favorite Zeldas. Time Limits are a pet peeve for me as there are a number of times that i had to return to the first day without making any significant progress. losing items was ultimately what made that infuriating for me, to the point that i'll only ever pick it up again to earn Achievements through the Retro Achievements website.

[@embracerodusk2537]

Had an N64 & a PS1 back then. While the N64 didn't have anywhere near the quantity that the PS1 had, the major releases for it seemed to come out every 4 or 5 months, and the titles always had a very special, magical feel to them that made you happy to own the console. That was also the era where Rareware were at the very peak of their game, which didn't hurt.

[@chrishensley5384]

My top 10 would have Gauntlet Legends in it. We logged a bunch of hours into that and Wave Race!

[@amrok2002]

Bro that hit hard, preorded the N64 back then, Mario/Waverace/Starfox Thanks for the vids bro. And thank you for sharing your memories with all of us 😎

[@RetroGlitch82]

I would add Conker's Bad Fur Day and Blast Corps to that list 😊

[@terminalpower.]

My top ten (not in order) Perfect Dark Pokemon Stadium 2 WCW/NWO REVENGE Conkers Bad fur day Aidyn Chronicles WWF No Mercy Mario Kart 64 Donkey Kong 64 Smash Bros Majora's Mask Too many honorable mentions to shout out.

[@ZebraEnt]

Goldeneye would probably be in a top 4 for me!

[@godofwar2k6reborn]

My first home console. Still my favorite of all time.

[@warriorrider18]

Thank you mom and dad. One of the best Christmas presents ever!

[@diego.sales1]

Total respect for your list. Glad games like Pilotwings, Wave Race and FZeroX are on your list.

[@keithlowe5512]

I had a PS1 originally and it was a great console but years later I got to play Banjo on the n64 and I was just astonished by the graphics. A great console.

[@jesseglidden321]

I was hoping you’d mention Winback: Covert Operations. I loved that game and sunk a ton of hours into it back in the day.

[@Adamtendo_player_1]

Goldeneye and Wave Race 64 would’ve made my top 10 N64 games list that’s for sure as Rare could do no wrong at all on the N64 as well as the usual stamples like Mario 64 and Mario Kart 64 but I would have had pretty much most of the Aki wrestling games in my top 10 with No Mercy leading the pack. That game is a culmination of everything from Wrestlemania 2000, Revenge and World Tour, there really wasn’t anything that could match No Mercy, it hits all the right places, it just felt right and the CAW and customisation was crazy good and with friends along with a couple of buddies, in a battle of who isthe true king of kings, which lead to some unforgettable matches.

[@RockyP77]

I absolutely love your delivery and style on these videos. Great work!

[@ZombieNedFlandereses]

This is my favorite generation of gaming. I know later gen consoles will perfect the formulas and will make "better" games, but I do not think that the number of games from this gen which people consider great, and even some GOATs, is coincidence. The innovation the N64, PSX, Saturn, and the rest brought to the table revolutionized the industry. Modern gen consoles are still using the blueprints created by this gen.

[@tvolution1]

1. Ocarina of Time 2. Goldeneye 3. Banjo-Kazooie 4. WWF No Mercy 5. Mario Kart 64 6. Super Mario 64 7. Space Station Silicon Valley 8. Perfect Dark 9. Wrestlemania 2000 10. Pilotwings

[@fustiancorduroy]

A solid list, though I am surprised as you included OoT because, as you mention in the video, you didn't really like Link to the Past. I'm not a big wrestling fan, but pretty much all of the other games you mentioned, especially Goldeneye and Rouge Squadron, are among my favorites. I would have to add Banjo Kazooie and Diddy Kong Racing as well. But really, Super Mario 64 will always be THE N64 game for me. As an aside, I appreciated the music from Wipeout in the intro!

[@galaxy_federal_policem5105]

Happy Friday X

[@ModernRetroGuy]

Nice top 16, all these games are in my top 40 except wcw/nwo revenge

[@maroon9273]

N64 was my first console. N64 had influencial 2nd and 1st party games that pioneer advanced 3D technology prior to the 6th gen console era which 3D gaming is perfected.

[@markmorris7123]

1, ISS 2000 2, Golden Eye 3, killer Instinct Gold 4, Ocarina of Time 5, Mario Kart 6, Command and Conquer 7, Bomber Man 8, F ZERO X 9, WCW (the amazing one) 10, never played Mario 64 but I'll put it at ten.

[@masterquake7]

Good list. Love me some N64.

[@absoluteclownworld]

Nice List! My top 10 would be: 1. Zelda OOT 2. Zelda MM 3. Mario 64 4. Diddy Kong Racing 5. Perfect Dark 6. WWF No Mercy 7. Paper Mario 8. F-Zero 64 9. Pokemon Stadium 2 10. Ray man 2

[@absoluteclownworld]

Honorable mentions: Banjo Kazoie Banjo Tooie 007 Golden Eye Donkey Kong 64 Smash Bros

[@kunonabi]

When putting together my top 100 games of all time I was surprised at how many entries were N64 games. Despite the limited library it had so many games I loved dearly that I honestly think it's my second favorite Nintendo console after the Wii. Compared to most other consoles where picking a top 10 is easy the N64 requires some real painful cuts for me.

[@gmarzzz]

Making a top N64 games list is the easiest task for me, as I didn’t own or play many games back then, even though I hold this system in high esteem. But these titles made it count: - Super Mario 64 - Mario Kart 64 - International Superstar Soccer 64 (and its follow-up, ISS 98) - GoldenEye 007 Just these four games made my N64 experience wonderful, no need for any other.

[@alexojideagu]

imo Diddy Kong Racing > Mario Kart 64

[@alexojideagu]

But yes many Americans have no idea about the ISS games which were great. And the SNES ISS games. Although the PS1 versions were better and far superior to FIFA too. Especially Pro Evolution Soccer which was the only challenger to FIFA to this day before its sad demise into the terrible E-football.

[@Gaming_since_the_eighties]

My Top 10 Nintendo 64 Games: 1. The Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time 2. Banjo Kazooie 3. Banjo Tooie 4. F - Zero X 5. Turok 1 6. Turok 2 - Seeds of Evil 7. Castlevania - Legacy of Darkness 8. Catlevania 64 9. Mario Kart 64 10. Extreme G Honorable Mentions: Pilot Wings Wave Race Crusin USA 007 Golden Eye Conkers Bad Fur Day Super Mario 64 Killer Instinct 2 Doom 64 Blast Corps Perfect Dark

[@ToshisGarden]

The fact that we got both Sin and Punishment amd its sequel released on the Wii in Western regions is probably yet another great thing we owe Sakurai for, lol. Never played the sequel, but the original is one of my favorite N64 games as well, SLX! I have heard nothing but great things about Star Successor, though
