N64 Hidden Gems | The Nintendo 64's Best Kept Secrets | RGT 85

[@CoryCDS]

So glad to see Mischief Makers made it on the list, its definitely one if my favorite games of all time

[@Syd-jo4cm]

Not sure how this was recommended to me today 7 yrs later but love it!

[@commonsensei8719]

Too me even 8 years later!

[@rrpgreviews]

Glad to see Mischief Makers getting some love!

[@RGT85]

+RRPGReviews It's a super good one.

[@niahoad]

RRPGReviews sk2 was never released in europe 😭 i wanted to buy it in the US, but it may wouldnt have worked on the pal n64

[@virgogaming6488]

One of the first games I got for N64 as a kid.

[@ADDudes]

Blast Corps and Body Harvest were two brilliant games that didn't get enough love. So glad you pointed these two out. Blast Corps was so incredibly challenging...ie throw controller frustrating, but it felt somewhat fair...sans those dump-truck missions.

[@Excard0n]

Forgot to mention Hybird Heaven. That game was awesome.

[@mortimerreed]

agreed. spent many hours playing that game and while it's extremely dated graphically now, back then it was a great looking game that few people knew of.

[@claudiourrutiaaranguiz9281]

Hybrid Heaven is my all time guilty pleassure

[@randyrockholt834]

That's one of my all time favorite games for any system. Imagine this game getting a remastered version on either the ps4 or upcoming ps5.

[@n64glennplant]

Dig that tshirt....where'd you get it from fella?

[@RGT85]

A store called Kohls in the states. FYI: love your channel dude!

[@n64glennplant]

+RetroGamingTube 85 thanks man! The same chain that the chewbacca mask woman shopped in! Ha

[@71dembonesTV]

i have it also. got it as a birthday gift with a few other Nintendo-themed shirts...

[@Succer]

+RetroGamingTube 85 I got it at Kohl's too lol.

[@metaldude55ify]

Love your reviews Glenn Plant!

[@Luigiawesome13]

I'm so happy you put Indiana Jones and the Infernal Machine on this list! It's one of my favorites. Great list!

[@spankrocketgaming294]

I played it on the pc years ago, its cool indeed

[@Luigiawesome13]

Spank Rocket I also played the PC version. I liked the rolling mechanic in that version.

[@JohnRiggs]

I've never even heard of Body Harvest. I'll have to check it out. Love me some Mischief Makers. Shake, Shake, Shake!

[@RGT85]

+John Riggs: RIGG'd Games Body Harvest is amazing!

[@JonesyJustJonesy]

BUY IT!!!!

[@MexicanLlama400]

Blast corps was literally my first n64 game, thanks for showing it some love man!

[@RGT85]

+MexicanLlama400 no problem! It's a classic.

[@errishafizjaha8221]

@@RGT85 i agrre i still play it everyday😅

[@TheGameBench]

That's a pretty good list. I thought I had looked over every N64 game but you just added a couple of games to my wanted list. Great vid!

[@RGT85]

+BlastMode7 Thank you bud!

[@elizabethjack5312]

Mickey's Speedway USA looks fun, Imight have to pick tha up sometime.

[@gozert6028]

Space Station Silicon Valley, Rocket: Robot On Wheels, Beetle Adventure Racing, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, Shadow Man, BattleTanx: Global Assault, Robotron 64 and Snowboard Kids are also some lesser known games worth checking out!

[@RGT85]

Yeah I'll be covering some of those in part 2 ;)

[@gozert6028]

Awesome, looking forward to it!

[@peepiepo]

Space station silicon valley is one of my favourites. I remember it had a glitch in it that stopped you getting all the gold pieces, still loved it all the same.

[@ClassicCo-op]

Glad to see mischief makers! One of my favorite lesser known games for n64 is Goemon's Great Adventure.

[@RGT85]

+Co-op Shop Yea I loved that one!

[@Chubzdoomer]

Man, you do a great job with all your videos and deserve way more subscribers. Keep up the excellent work!

[@RGT85]

+Chubzdoomer Thank you bud!

[@8BitVintendo86]

Definitely a list of good gems here bro! I love Flying Dragon and Mischief Makers still play those till this day! Awesome Hidden Gems video dude! Excellent job!

[@RGT85]

+8-Bit Vintendo Thanks bud

[@8BitVintendo86]

+RetroGamingTube 85 np

[@KMACKTIME]

robot on rocket wheel and mischief makers are gems

[@RGT85]

+KMACK TIME for sure!

[@Garhunt05]

Tetrisphere is a gem of a game with the best n64 soundtrack

[@VintageFiendClub]

Dude never even watched you this far back but it’s sick seeing your legacy! So many good games have been added to the buy list from the top lists I went back and watched from you!!

[@Pixelprotocol]

I've never played a lot of these! A few of them I had but usually with lists like these I've had them all so you did some good picks. Great production too man.

[@RGT85]

+PixelProtocol Thank you bud!

[@A88mph]

Stunt Racer 64 in a Blockbuster exclusive you didn't mention. It's one of my favorite Gems.

[@willy7369]

Now, that was A Excellent hidden Gem filled Video. I know What I need to be on the look out for. Shawn, great Job and Hope the Week ahead is full of Good times.

[@RGT85]

+William true Thank you bud!

[@neongreenninja5433]

Hey nice N64 games, man i miss the Golden days of the Nintendo N64.

[@BassbaitGG]

Sorry I don't have the chance to watch the whole video right now, but I skimmed through and I didn't see Rocket: Robot on Wheels showing up. That one is a true classic that's been buried under the rubble of early 3D games. Definitely something that needs to be checked out for N64 fans.

[@RGT85]

+BassbaitGG I'll probably make a follow up video at some point.

[@kevinfitch4138]

Rocket: Robot on Wheels is definitely on my list. This one is often overlooked, but it's really a great game. I always enjoyed it.

[@RGT85]

+Kevin Fitch I'll have to check it out.

[@the_jumping_man]

It may not be the best game, but as someone who never missed the chance to play every N64 platformer I do have fond memories of Tonic Trouble. Oh, and Rocket: Robot on Wheels, of course!

[@RGT85]

Tonic Trouble is actually a solid!

[@seannealey5611]

Glad to see blast corps up there. Still has pride of place next to goldeneye and smash bros!

[@RGT85]

It's a true classic

[@downforwardjab5503]

Just discovered your channel out of now where. Really cool stuff brother, you have yourself a new sub. Now seriously, you are the first person I've found online who shares my appreciation for Flying Dragon. Hell yeah!

[@RGT85]

Glad to have you here man

[@euphoria_7477]

Remember man, now that you a huge KZbin personality, when you do this kind of video, the games will sky rocket in value! Jay Kay. Congrats on 7K bro!

[@RGT85]

+Joe Snes lol. Thank you bud!

[@masterfox72]

Hey, I've only recently discovered your channel and seen a few videos, but I have to say, your presentation and the mannerism which you carry through the channel is really professional and awesome. I am shocked you don't have more subs! ';

[@RGT85]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@8dragonquest]

I used to love Micro Machines. That was my hidden gem:) Perfect Dark and Golden Eye were my two favourites. Then Mario Kart 64 and Smash Bros. I liked one player Diddy Kong Racing. I thought the two player mode in that game was average. You showed a pretty cool list here. I have never played any of those games. I was more into the Playstation at the time. Perfect Dark and Golden Eye was my life though on this system.

[@cqbSarge]

other than Indiana Jones i can honestly say I've played all these games when i was kid in the N64 era and can confirm these are all overlooked classics, i remember getting body harvest in a bargain bin bundled with a memory card and it blew my freaking mind!

[@RGT85]

+SargeCQB dude you gotta try Indy!

[@chiffmonkey]

Chameleon Twist "a bit on the short side"... I finished that game in about 40 minutes under the age of 10.

[@SonyaSaturn64]

You know, I was getting ready to talk about Mickey's Speedway USA, mostly because nobody talks about it and I did think you weren't going to, but I'm glad you decided to talk about it first. Mickey's Speedway USA is a really awesome game that in my opinion is better than Mario Kart 64 and Diddy Kong Racing.

[@RGT85]

+N64Lain It's really smooth for sure.

[@TheBrazilRules]

YEAH! Body Harverst ROCKS. I'm so glad you mentioned it on the vídeo. People always dismiss it for it's graphics

[@RGT85]

+TheBrazilRules Which to me is crazy, because I think the graphics are great for the time frame. Maybe today they asre super foggy, but it's still a pretty good looking game.

[@Garydasilvamelo]

Good video! I only have Blast Corps on your list. I definitely need to check out some of these hidden gems.

[@RGT85]

+Game Collector77 Glad you enjoyed it. Body Harvest is a must own.

[@johnp.8260]

Great video! My favorite N64 games were Armorines, BattleTanx, Hexen, and Mission Impossible.

[@RGT85]

+John Preston ah I remember long nights with Hexen. Fun but ugly as sin. Lol

[@emeraldwind4897]

To be honest I've have never seen such creativity in games, unlike today.

[@RGT85]

Yeah games today are a lot of the same shit over and over.

[@emeraldwind4897]

+RetroGamingTube 85 I agree :) especially when I watched mickeys speedway.

[@christianna3561]

Great list! I totally agree! Well done! I have most of the games on your list but you listed some I am going to have to track down. I would also add "Battletanx" to the list as well as "Space Station Silicon Valley".

[@RGT85]

good picks

[@bitcove9012]

I really liked playing spacestation silicon valley. It was an open map puzzle game that really made you think and made it was very unforgiving if you messed up doing one of the puzzles.

[@RGT85]

+Bitcove I heard a rumor that one might be on volume 2 of this.... ;)

[@joshuachittun9109]

This is a great list of hidden gems, you highlighted so many good games from my childhood!

[@joshuachittun9109]

Flying Dragon!!!

[@RGT85]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@spankrocketgaming294]

Definitly my fave console of all time, so many great memories, and Goldenye, that must be the most replayable game ever, I have finished 100's of times, and it plays so fresh with each play through. one game that surprised me was Road Rash 64, that's a really fun game!

[@RGT85]

Dude yes! Road Rash 64 is choice.

[@ElliottJohnsonXX]

If you didn't have mischief makers i would have called this list incomplete. well done. best game ever

[@RGT85]

it's a true gem

[@CrysonaCore]

Buck Bumble. Theme song is hype af

[@RGT85]

Agreed.

[@TheBrhyno]

Awesome video! I dunno if I agree with blast corps though, mostly cuz I was one of those kids that only had one console and at the time there was like 12 games out for the 64, so that particular game for me was very well known, and very loved. I remember it came out when turok came out, rented both, bought blast corps. I would have to say though, Conker's Bad Fur Day definitely deserves a spot on this list though. Soooooo many people never heard about it till Conker Live and Reloaded, and even then still didn't play it. Came out super late in the n64 life cycle, was definitely a hard M rated game, albeit I remember the platforming being better than most people seem to rate it as, amazing dialogue and voices. Every time I find it at a garage sale or somewhere it isn't super marked up I pick it up.

[@RGT85]

+TheBrhyno yeah blast corps was the most popular on this list.

[@ArcadeRegiment]

This was great dude. Basically anything Rare touched for the N64 was gold. I legit bought Indiana Jones based off your recommendation.

[@RGT85]

+Arcade Regiment Thank you bud, it's a good one

[@girlsdrinkfeck]

nes snes and n64 all worth buying just because of Rareware/ultimate play the game

[@mistrdevine]

Great list! I loved Winback, Blast Corps, Nuclear Strike, Chameleon Twist, and Mischief Makers. I would have added Buck Bumble, which featured a fun single player campaign, as well as two different multiplayer options, deathmatch and a soccer type game. My friends and I played a lot of BuzzBall back in the mid nineties.

[@mistrdevine]

And now we play Rocket League, so much. But I still suck at it.

[@Spielewelten]

hey RGT 85, that Flying Dragon gameplay is from my video review. I can hear my voice in the background. ;) Would have been nice if you mentioned the souce of the gameplay material. maybe next time. ;)

[@RBunctious]

Have you ever played Goemon's Great Adventure? I'm pretty sure it's even more unheard of then the first Mystical Ninja on the N64. It's a pretty good, difficult 2.5D platformer. The cutesy graphics also made me think of Yoshi and Kirby so it can feel nostalgic even if it's your first time playing.

[@RGT85]

+RBunctious Oh yes. Love that game.

[@santostracey93]

Body Harvest, in my opinion, is probably THE BEST underrated N64 game I've ever played. It's like the only few open world games on the N64 that wasn't Zelda. If Rockstar ever decided to remake this game or even a sequel, I DEFINITELY would pick this up!!

[@zulitesgaming3112]

Love what you do man... would love to see a top 5 N64 Wrestling Game list. That would be epic

[@cavelightgames]

Roadsters for the N64 is most certainly overlooked. It's probably got the best graphics in any game for the system, lots of cars, Gran Turismo style upgrades...

[@RGT85]

I remember that one :)

[@shamwowser6449]

If you end up doing another list of N64 gems, I would recommend talking about Jet Force Gemini and Dr. Mario 64. Both of those games have fallen into obscurity, even though both are fantastic; and Dr. Mario 64 was the first and currently only Dr. Mario game in the series to have 4 Player modes.

[@RGT85]

For sure. I plan on doing a part 2.

[@LG-ro5le]

Duke nukem zero hour never gets talked about & its honestly one of the best n64 games. It has gta style humour.. a clever story line with interesting places.. victorian london with jack the ripper.. the titanic, scotland, wild west new mexico.. new york.. and the gameplay / graphics are great

[@mikevisby8744]

I am glad you mentioned Mischief Makers, fantastic game. Might I recommend Mystical Ninja, a really fun 3D platformer/action game with multiple characters and a giant robot.

[@SharifSourour]

Good job bringing up Indiana Jones by the way. When I first played that game (relatively recently) I was surprised how good it is considering I had never heard of it!

[@RGT85]

Someone put it on a Top 10 Worst N64 games list. I was like what the fuck are you on?

[@SharifSourour]

Obviously the writer didn't play it or they don't know what the hell they're doing! :)

[@RGT85]

Lol agreed :)

[@savaget2058]

Looking like the Nintendo KZbinr we know and love 😂

[@HandZ_gaming]

I'm still yet to finish Body Harvest. Lost track of how many times I've started that game! Definitely deserves a proper go.

[@RGT85]

It's an awesome game dude

[@Slevana5]

Did you ever remember it being green? I can't find any copies where the cart was.

[@MrStuDubb]

You've got a great channel. Keep up the fine work, sir.

[@braselthegamer]

Nice. A knew of a few of these, but not the majority of them. I'll have to keep my eye out.

[@RGT85]

+Brasel TheGamer For sure, they are really good ones.

[@kupop0w]

Used to love Body Harvest, I remember getting that game as a kid, and it was a completely random purchase lol

[@DarkKnightTrinity]

Interesting video, like finding smaller youtubers with good review videos.

[@RGT85]

+DarkKnightTrinity thanks bud

[@TheBaioken]

Owning Winback, Body Harvest, Blast Corps and Mischief Makers. Good list.

[@RGT85]

+TheBaioken Good taste in games!

[@TrebleWing]

blast corps was my absolute favorite game back in the day And chameleon twist came in as second to only mario 64.

[@RGT85]

+Tyler Barnes glad to see more people dig chameleon twist!

[@Kaspurr84]

Blast Corps was the game that forever to this day haunts me, It quite insanely hard as you progress.

[@RGT85]

For sure. It's a....wait for it....BLAST though!

[@BioPhoenixReviews]

Winback is a really fun game. never played the PS2 version but from what played of the N64 version its quite enjoyable and was really different for the time

[@RGT85]

+BioPhoenix Yeah the cover mechanics are solid as hell.

[@shadowtheoblivious]

mischief makers is one of my absolute faves for 64

[@RGT85]

+shadowtheoblivious It's a good!

[@dearnswaerger6096]

i now have a lot of gaming to do this summer. like this is you smell your toilet paper after you wipe.

[@RGT85]

+Dearn Swaerger Go on. lol

[@RetroPowerUp]

Gauntlet Legends was such a fun co-op game to play on the N64! Mario Golf is also a blast, even with a party of friends! Ms. Pac Man Maze Madness was also a pretty solid game too. And of course, everyone should own a complete in the box copy of Superman 64 like me! :D

[@RGT85]

+Retro Power Up lol I never even knew there was more to the game than just flying through those stupid rings.

[@JanjoZone]

I haven't heard of some of these. Mischief Makers was always a favorite of mine on the system. I also really loved Bomberman Hero.

[@RGT85]

+Desthetic It's a good one.

[@bumpndump9643]

Yeeeeeeeeeessssssss! N64 for life!!! i got indiana jones 64 and rush 2049 for the sistem recently, great video bro!

[@RGT85]

+Nicolas Cortés Thanks bud!

[@dearbobby83]

great video, now I've moved house I think I need to get a N64 again. The memories of multiplayer GoldenEye with proximity mines. So much fun.

[@RGT85]

+Lee Fadden Yeah so many hours were spent in goldeneye multiplayer. Still fun as hell today too.

[@martinjmcc1981]

Excellent list, man Body Harvest and Blast Crops, great taste!

[@RGT85]

+Martin McCluskey thanks bud!

[@KEKtuar]

I came here in the hopes you'd mention Hybrid Heaven. It's so good and so cheap!

[@STNKbone]

Good list, I had no idea they made a Strike game for the N64!

[@RGT85]

+STNKbone Yeah it's pretty fun

[@StephanFournier1]

Oh my god WINBACK!!!I totally forgot about that game but I loved it! Played it for weeks as a kid

[@RGT85]

It's a solid game!

[@wildo4459]

Winback... Wow. I forgot all about that game. Such a great game.

[@RGT85]

it's a classic

[@shadjuice]

Totally agree on Blast Corps, very underrated

[@RGT85]

+shadjuice513 Agreed!

[@deathofkings5633]

I've played a lot of these. With Winback I think there are like 5 different endings depending on how fast you beat it!

[@KingAveryVlogs]

I thought I was the only one that knew about Flying Dragon , oh and you can't forget Goemon Mystikal Ninja

[@RGT85]

+King Avery Vlogs I vividly remember that scene with the giant robot and the singing. lol

[@imusingsocialistmedia3014]

Does killer instinct gold hold up well today vs newer fighting games? Also does Mischief makers look similar to clockwork knight?

[@bobinestoroski8880]

I can't get over how good the graphics are close to today's great vid

[@PiperAmadeus]

I own Flying Dragon for the N64. Among the best games i've played on the system.

[@RGT85]

It's super fun!

[@PiperAmadeus]

+RetroGamingTube 85 it is :D

[@teenkitsune]

The N64's library is fine the way it is, people act like it having less games than the PS1 is so bad, but really it just makes it easier to keep track of them and find good ones, it's why the Wii U's library is perfectly fine and the PS4 having way more games isn't such a big deal. At least I think so, I have a huge collection of N64 games and still have a huge list of N64 games I'm looking for. So yes, I think the N64's library is fine with it's count.

[@RGT85]

+Teenkitsune Quality over quantity was the tagline for sure.

[@teenkitsune]

RetroGamingTube 85 To this day it still stands. I mean I know you have a PS4 and love it, but I hated it, I actually sold it months ago, it may have a huge library, but the content isn't very good in my opinion, whereas I get way out mileage out of my Wii U, even with it's smaller library. This is just me though.

[@richardgonzalez1427]

Cool! Gonna pick these games up

[@graalcloud]

"So one of my favorite consoles is N64" boom clicked like and subscribe, all I need to hear. It also helps that you're holding an N64 wearing an N64 shirt in front of your N64 collection.

[@RGT85]

+John Redcorn LOL thanks bud!

[@Rizchark]

Body harvest was awesome loved it as a kid!!

[@SeNniN06]

I was waiting for you to name body harvest. Its such a under rated game.

[@RGT85]

Right! Not enough people love that game.

[@SeNniN06]

RetroGamingTube 85 mainly it had to do with how it was released really late into N64 life. I remember walking into Walmart and they had a huge pile of Body Harvest for only $20. It seemed like a good deal and the game turned out to be one of my fav. Love the ost as well.

[@brickadventures]

Loving these videos man keep it up!

[@Goombasareawesome]

I'll have to hunt Body Harvest down,it looks amazing

[@RGT85]

+Goombasareawesome You do! It's so good.

[@predaking2wings]

yea i just hunted this game and next week a friend sold it to me!

[@jasonentwistle7600]

Some good games there just picked up body harvest wasn't sure what it was until I watched this nice find cheers :)

[@RGT85]

+jason entwistle excellent you'll enjoy it!

[@philiplapierre9776]

I remember playing Blast Corps. Man that was a hard game. It was a test of skill, intellect, and speed. But it was all worth it.

[@rogervega6531]

Nice Vid, and I enjoyed the tid bits on each game!

[@RGT85]

Thank you for watchin!

[@CinefreekProductions]

Honorable mentions go to Fighter Destiny's 1 and 2. Hybrid Heaven and Orge Battle 64.

[@willsanders6765]

Good list. Some of mine would be both Goemon games, Beetle adventure racing and rocket robot on wheels.

[@willsanders6765]

+Will Sanders I also forgot Snowboard kids. Indiana Jones looks interesting so if I find it locally I will have to pick it up.

[@RGT85]

+Will Sanders Geomon is great.

[@Magus59]

I love that you mentioned Body Harvest, although I thought it was so clunky that it was totally unplayable. Clearly GTA3 was its spiritual successor. I also think that Turok 3 doesn't get enough respect. Lastly, another racer that was a lot of fun was Lego Racers. There weren't many tracks, but the powerups were well designed, and you could build you own cart.

[@RGT85]

Body Harvest feels weird at first but if you give it time it can be really awesome!

[@Magus59]

I'll have to give it another go, after I finish Aidyn Chronicles, which I've been working on since 2002....... Maybe after the kids graduate high school. :-P

[@Gamingpastime64]

Chopper Attack needs more love. There's just something about it.

[@RGT85]

You know, I dig that game.

[@Gamingpastime64]

We played it recently and found it somewhat addicting. Has that 90s charm.

[@mediaglitch]

blast corps is a good time. Ill have to check out that flying dragon

[@RGT85]

+Media Glitch it's a fun cheap fighter

[@NostalgicRoe]

nice list! plenty of games that I haven't seen listed

[@RGT85]

+NostalgicRoe Thanks bud!

[@richardzo4887]

That was interesting ! I remember some of these games getting absolutely trashed and ridiculed in game magazines. As a kid I really enjoyed these violent reviews and had a good laugh at the expense of Chameleon Twist, Nuclear Strike and Body Harvest especially. Back then I didn't have the insight to challenge these opinions, but I see there is something to be said in favor of these too. Maybe it was for the best since I didn't have the funds to get all the "good" games I wanted anyway , but I guess I won't scoff at these anymore if I happen upon them in some yard sale.

[@RGT85]

+Richard Zo honestly body harvest is one of the best games on the console. If I did a top 10 N64 games it would make the list. Chameleon Twist isn't great but it's solid enough and cheap enough to make it fun. And I love the strike series. Thanks for watching!

[@shadycharacter6966]

+RetroGamingTube 85 What about Chameleon Twist 2 - do you think it got any better ?

[@MrVibeless]

Awesome vid mate. I have blast Corps and Body Harvest And love them . Haven't played any of the others so will get on that right now :)

[@RGT85]

Do it man, lots of good games
