The Nintendo 64 gave us some of the most iconic games of all time, but not every cartridge became a classic. In this video, we’re looking at 10 of the best Nintendo 64 games and 10 we’re happy to forget. Some N64 games changed 3D gaming forever, defined multiplayer nights, or became lifelong favorites. Others suffered from clunky controls, ugly graphics, bad camera systems, weak gameplay, or ideas that just did not work. We’ll cover legendary Nintendo 64 games like Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, GoldenEye 007, Mario Kart 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Super Smash Bros., Perfect Dark, Star Fox 64, Pokémon Stadium, and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask. Then we’ll look at N64 games many players would rather forget, including Superman 64, Carmageddon 64, Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero, Castlevania 64, Quest 64, Earthworm Jim 3D, South Park Rally, Blues Brothers 2000, ClayFighter 63⅓, and Daikatana. Whether you grew up blowing into cartridges, playing four-player split-screen, or discovering these games years later, this list shows both the magic and the mess of the Nintendo 64 era.
