Notes on Nintendo 64 Games
| 1080° Snowboarding | also on: Wii |
|---|---|
| Works really well if you turn off the music and enjoy the sounds of the snow and wind. The fuzzy music is kinda something though. | |
| 爆裂無敵 バンガイオー (Explosive Invincible Bangaioh) | |
| The Dreamcast version is preferred by a lot of people for the pacing changes it makes. Maybe later iterations eclipse them both, but I enjoyed this one a lot when I owned it. | |
| Blast Corps | |
| Hard to believe it's by Rare, these days. Focused, race-against-the-clock building demolition. There's a really great variety of vehicles to use, most with very different controls schemes, and control methods. | |
| Body Harvest | |
| DMA's garish, clunky, sci-fi set, proto-GTA III, is well worth a try. | |
| Bomberman 64 / 爆ボンバーマン | |
| I really enjoy the one-player game; you can do some crazy stuff with stacking bombs that feels game breaking, but isn't. I really like the sound in this game too: it has that same crispy arcadeyness that Waverace has. | |
| Doom 64 | also on: PS4, Switch, Win, XB1 |
| Excitebike 64 | also on: Wii U |
| Has some wonderful extra modes: a steep hill descent; hill climb; and a Rocket League-esque soccer game that will test all the player's bike handling skills. | |
| F-Zero X | |
| The game's random track generator is some pretty great extra content, actually. Still my favourite F-Zero game after the first one. | |
| Fighter's Destiny / ファイティングカップ (Fighting Cup) | |
| This game, and its sequel Fighter Destiny 2 (no 's'!) are really interesting fighters. Fights are won by scoring points: A ring-out is one point, throws are worth two, and so on; and all this affects your strategy. Losing a round is always just a super move away. | |
| Hybrid Heaven | |
| Sort of tedious, and ridiculous, but the game has a really interesting battle system. Basically, it's like a turn-based fighter. The fights are realtime, with the characters jostling for position until their meter fills, allowing either to stop the game and select commands from a menu. There are a lot of attacks to learn, particular to each limb, and they can be strung together for combos. | |
| Lylat Wars / Star Fox 64 | also on: Wii |
| Mario Tennis / マリオテニス64 | also on: Wii, Wii U |
| Basically it's Virtua Tennis with a Mario coating. The newer members of the series add some extra shots that sort of ruin everything. | |
| Mischief Makers / ゆけゆけ！！トラブルメーカーズ | |
| NFL Blitz | |
| Pilotwings 64 | |
| Sin & Punishment: Successor to the Earth | also on: Wii |
| Tetrisphere | |
| Wave Race 64 | also on: Wii |
| Wayne Gretzky's 3D Hockey | |
