Some good N64 games not on this list: Quake 2 Quake 64 Dukem Nukem 64 Turok 3 Bangai-O Cruisn Exotica Extreme-G WCW vs NWO Mortal Kombat 4 (just for the fatalities)

Thank you for listing the date, publisher/developer etc... so many videos do not and it's very helpful.

Ocarina of time, Mario 64, and goldeneye. My favorite games of all time

[@Amber_xo_133]

5. Pokémon Stadium 2 4. WWF No Mercy 3. GoldenEye 64 2. Super Mario 64 1. Zelda OOT

[@kxr842]

I think that the WCW games were way better than the WWF games if you ask me. Shame he didn't include any of them.

[@slippinjimmy6511]

I think I got my Nintendo back in ‘98 or ‘99. This was a very memorable birthday gift. Right off the bat, I got Star fox, Mario Kart and Star Wars Shadows of the Empire. To this day I still have those games and the console 😊.

[@JohnnySoCal]

@@slippinjimmy6511 Yeah... growing up in the 90s for video games was a treat and difficult to replicate in today's always online and a zillion game releases.

[@technology_advisor510]

I mean... it checks out! Great line up and some of the top 10 were so spot on, well made presentation.

[@joeymakowski6340]

Yea agree. But disagree with GoldenEye and Mario kart.

[@Courier_Seven]

Body harvest was actually a very fun game that plays almost like a GTA game, only you fight giant bug aliens, the vehicles were fun, the music was good, the atmosphere was eerie and it was fun to explore. The bosses being named after satanic demons was also a super cool touch i never realized anything about until i was older.

[@Zamzummin]

I love trying to guess the top 5. Usually I get 1-2 wrong but this time I got them all :) My personal top 5: -Super Mario 64 -Zelda: OoT -Mario Kart 64 -Goldeneye 007 -Diddy Kong Racing

[@yourbear2812]

Thank you for recommend. I’m here because i never play n64 game and looking for n64 title games to play

[@raijinthemaster88]

Truly do miss the past era of gaming. But I had far more games for the PS1 than I did the N64, PS1 had a much better and larger library of games to choose from.

[@JohnnySoCal]

@raijinthemaster88 owning an N64, I remember being impressed by how many ps1 games were on display at the store compared to n64... and they were way cheaper.

[@MalosaESP]

The PC had a much larger library too, but I always preferred N64 games to play with friends. The idea was having a machine to play 3rd party and solo games (the PC) and a console in the TV for local multiplayer, and with this purpose in mind, N64 is the best console ever.

[@billgordon6489]

But none of the charm.

[@Soulfide]

I only had a handful of games as a kid. Ocarina of time, Majors mask, Mario Kart, Smash Melee, Glover. I remember Glover being really hard lol

[@jaimeesquerra7009]

NBA Hang Time is a fun multiplayer game that is not on the list. The Create-a-player mode and the trivia quizzes to level up the created players were very cool. (By the way, Resident Evil 2 was not developed by Rare 24:17)

[@antuanjackson798]

And shouldn't have been that far back on the list.

[@aaronferguson3169]

Very, very, very nostalgic Nintendo 64 games. I like some of them and I still play them on my very, very, very old 64 console. I am glad it still works.

[@JohnnySoCal]

I still have my N64 with a gold controller I bought from Toys'r'us. It works 100%.

[@aaronferguson3169]

@@JohnnySoCal Well sure, good to know😊😊👍👍! May I say thinking about N64 as of 2024 also has me thinking about the next awesome future? I will be willing to tell you something about a huge wish I have for the future if you do not mind.

[@JohnnySoCal]

@@aaronferguson3169 go ahead... now is a better time since the Switch 2 reveal is just around the corner.

[@aaronferguson3169]

​@@JohnnySoCal All right, sure, sure. Sorry for the long holdup, but now I am ready if you really do not mind. So in the next awesome future I really wish there could be some new Mario characters. In my huge imagination their names are Kiemonte, Sunari, Neyla, Xavior, Gerodi, and Jalrez. Kiemonte is the wise, mature, and grand mage leader and ruler. Sunari the dancing mage and Neyla the mind mage are fraternal sisters. Xavior is the close friend and mage decipherer, and Gerodi and Jalrez are the mage guards. Want more?

[@JohnnySoCal]

@@aaronferguson3169 That's a little too specific for wishful thinking. I was thinking more in line with what I believe will be on Nintendo's next console. An evolution of Miiverse in creating virtual spaces/communities. Nintendo's take on the metaverse... similar to what PS3 tried with 'Home' online. Regardless Miiverse needs to make a comeback... I miss that service and how it cleverly integrated into multiple games.

[@HonkinGooseGeek]

Out of the 14 N64 mario games, 13 of them appeared :D

[@MrPlatinum2323]

Goldeneye and perfect dark were ridiculously flawless

[@Atari-Dude]

I'm okay with Perfect Dark ranking 3rd... That's still really high! It's my personal favorite game of all time!!

[@JohnnySoCal]

I get your point... but many forget the amount of content Perfect Dark delivered. The insane customizable multiplayer bots, fun dual func weapons, masterful level design and objectives... it's peak n64 gaming. It's the game I played the most on my n64. Sadly the Xbox 360 sequel ruined the series.

[@Atari-Dude]

@@JohnnySoCalI've been playing it regularly with my dad since I was 4 years old (I'm 21 now) Have you played the recent fan PC port of Perfect Dark 64?

[@JohnnySoCal]

@Atari-Dude No, I haven't. I'll check it out.

[@richiemarley3241]

Really nice video. 👌🏿 I agree with your list, especially the top 11.. except I would have included Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M. somewhere in the top 100.. I would love to see banjo tooie and bomberman 64 in NSO especially for the 4 player content.

[@hollywoodspiral]

This is dope. Now we need a ps1 games list

[@ShadowWizard224]

My top 8: Star Fox 64 Perfect Dark Banjo Kazooie Paper Mario Diddy Kong Racing Conkers Bad Fur Day Duck Dodgers Glover

[@JohnnySoCal]

It's a good list. 👍

[@joeymakowski6340]

Dude. You don’t even have goldeneye. That should be on everyone top 10 game list for 64

[@JohnnySoCal]

@joeymakowski6340 Goldeneye is listed. It's on the top 10.

[@KurisuKagato]

Gauntlet: Legends is by FAR one of my favorite N64 games of all time!

1) Zelda (1 & 2) 2) Pokemon stadium (1&2) 3) Star wars games 4) All rare games 5) All mario games 6) Turok 1 2 & 3 and then you may put other games in the order you like.

[@hectorhernandez1978]

And my favorite game is donkey Kong 64, and Diddy Kong racing 64. For the Nintendo switch online.

[@nicholasharvey1232]

16:17 We're now as close to 2049 as we are to 1999, when that game was released.

[@aleckermit]

I'd add Chameleon Twist 2, Ms. Pac Man Maze Madness, Cruisn' Exotica (way better than World IMO), NBA Hangtime, Tetrisphere.

[@JohnnySoCal]

@aleckermit great pics to include... I have plans to revise the n64 list down the road.

How could you put Glover that low?

Wow out of 100 games I'd probably play about 20 , thank you for helping me realize how poor the Nintendo 64 library aged .... great video though nothing against you! .

[@crisspycritic]

You mean how, like i got a Ps5 and xbox but have no desire to play any of the games but i wanna play almost all N64 games at least once. I got like 50 N64 games and 1 ps5 game and like 10 xbox games. Hahahahahah even more to my list is i add Ps1/Ps2 and other systems i got hahahahah

[@Wiiguy1606]

​@@crisspycritic Truth be told the PlayStation 5 is terrible storage space and you have to apparently attach an external hard drive Just to act at the temporary storage space to move data around, I can only have like three to five AAA games installed at one time Despite the Nintendo switch being graphically inferior to the PlayStation 5, it makes up with being able to fit a very small microSD card capable of holding terabytes of space. I'm literally able to hold well over 20 games at once

[@YCYKA]

Nice video

[@casey8207]

I’m offended by Pokémon stadium haha

[@METAL1ON]

Oh surprise Zelda was number 1 who could have seen that coming.

No extreme g racing!😮

[@albertopeixoto]

6:38 You got Extreme-G 2 in there, think of it as a bundle deal 😄 XG2 was a nice surprise I got for Christmas around 24 years ago. My mom bought it for me, I knew nothing about it but I fell in love with the game instantly. Listening to jungle while watching a bike go so fast you trigger the fight or flight response was a rush. I think this game helped me cure the fear of speed I had as a kid. 10/10 would recommend.

[@Funrunner008]

Turok 2 almost broke the n64 it was so advanced

[@imafreakinninja12]

I would say damaging vehicles through spinning in F-Zero is a bad thing. Like, if the game should let you attack other vehicles, put in a weapon systems.

[@Gonzalo_105]

No. Damaging in f-zero x was hard to pull off.

majoras mask at 4th spot is such a bad take that is 1 or 2, and also starfox beating banjo is also bad

[@JohnnySoCal]

I've played and beaten both Banjo and Starfox 64. The beauty of Starfox is it's amazing level design. It's 'GO' from the start as you frantically take down numerous enemies while discovering new paths to take in ranking up your score. Plus, the story evolves by which path/route you take.

[@magicjohnson3121]

Star Fox 64 is way better than Banjo Kazooie

[@therant3837]

Yoshi's Story! I have to be honest here I really like cartoony games, and Nintendo even nowadays has that mastered. I really don't like the games where they're trying to make the characters and scenery look "real" in modern gaming. Well.. that and the Woke LGBTQ+ stuff they've been coming out with. Mind you there IS a market 'niche' for that material however I'm not in that category. I stopped modern games due to that stuff, and DLC, and the greedy game companies a lot of times releasing games that aren't even finished yet requiring patches and so forth. The online aspect is also a turn off for me. I like the physical releases that I can keep as my own, and online games when they're expired you can't play them anymore after hours upon hours of gameplay. If there's no replayability like there is with say... the N64 for example I'm not spending money on it, and with all the money one spends on DLC's I would expect to be able to keep the game and replay it possibly in the far future... again like the N64. You just can't do that with these games created specifically for online. If that's the future of gaming I'm not on board for that. There always has be some some kind of Woke "agenda" attached to many modern games out there and I just don't swing that way. That's not my bag, baby! I play games to be entertained not preached to. If I want to hear a preacher I go to church, and I do go to church! Obviously these game developers can do whatever they want but that doesn't mean I have to buy their material, and I don't. In any event I love your list, bud. I miss this time era to be honest. Not just the N64 but everything from that generation, however it could be because that's what I grew up with. Thank you for this time machine, man. It means a lot to me. Take care now....
