Top 10 Nintendo 64 Games of all Time

Goldeneye is truly gem, but PDark is an absolute masterpiece.

[@MRWINDYMETHANE]

Goldeneye hasn't exactly aged well. Perfect Dark is rough as well, but it got a second lease in life when it was rereleased on the Rare Replay & plays like a charm. If the same had happened to Goldeneye, then it would've aged better.

[@sab6437]

@@MRWINDYMETHANE That "hasn't aged well" game is one of the most popular speedrunning games and most heavily played N64 games today.

[@johncontralis4658]

The Game was rereleased on accident, the remake is great. Rare made it but couldn't release it due to Nintendo being unable to get the license, but Rare has no legal standing to hold the game since they are owned my Microsoft so they leaked it online!

[@TIDbitRETRO]

For all the guff people give the N64, it has ARGUABLY the greatest Mario game, Zelda game, Mario Party game , Paper Mario game, WWF game, and Star Fox game of all time in it’s library. That’s pretty impressive.
