Gameplayer's Guide to Nintendo 64 The 50 Best Games

Start

What is this?

  • Thanks to improvements in up-scaling technology and a burgeoning hardware and software modding scene, the Nintendo 64's legitimacy as a retro console has improved vastly in recent years. This is an attempt to accurately document the 50 best gameplay experiences available for the system.
  • Where possible, this list gives proper credit to the original title, developer, and box art of each game.
  • All games listed (as well as several others which didn't quite make the cut) have been played to completion. Nostalgia, sales, historical relevance, nor any other factor was taken into consideration when compiling this list.
  • In the interests of avoiding repetition and to include a variety of software, some titles include optional recommendations. The explanations for each are as follows:
    • Alternatively = a game (just about) as good as that listed, so take your pick.
    • Honourable mention = not as distinguished as the game listed, but offers a similar or alternative experience.
