I won’t bullshit you: these are affiliate links. Some of them are daft money (Banjo-Tooie goes for over £50) but others are selling for only a quid or two. If you’re a European gamer, I’ve provided Amazon UK links to each game so you can see what they’re going for second-hand. The best way to play the rest is by tracking down the original cartridges and playing them on an original Nintendo 64 console. Some of these games are available on the Wii and Wii U’s Virtual Console services.

If one of your own recommendations isn’t on the list, feel free to give it a shoutout in the comments below ( politely though, mind) and tell everyone what it meant to you. So please don’t lose your shit because Body Harvest isn’t on here or say I “forgot” Turok 2: Seeds Of Evil – I didn’t forget it, it’s just not one of my 30 personal favourites. It’s also my own personal list and not a collaborative effort for a magazine or website, meaning there will be some ‘glaring’ omissions of games I simply didn’t play or didn’t like. Everything in this list was deemed good enough to make the cut, so I recommend them all with similar enthusiasm. Much like it’s pretty pointless deciding whether a game’s getting a score of 72% or 73%, it doesn’t really matter if Pilotwings 64 is my 23rd or 24th favourite Nintendo 64 game. But the N64’s library consisted of so many gems that, on the contrary, I still had to ditch some games that will undoubtedly annoy some folk. With a game list so small, you’d think coming up with a ’30 Best’ list would be tricky, since there are so few games that nearly 1 in 10 will make the cut. The PlayStation CD-ROMs meanwhile could store much more data, allowed for CD-quality music, could easily handle video and – most importantly – were much cheaper to manufacture.Īs such, while the PlayStation ended up with nearly 2500 games released for it worldwide, the N64 ended up with a meagre 388. Even though the N64’s cartridges meant near-instant load times, the fact was these cartridges cost a fortune to make. Ultimately, most developers sided with Sony and its use of CD-ROMs. The company’s infamous split from Sony (more on that in a future article) led to not only a new console war between companies, but a format war too: CDs versus cartridges. In the grand scheme of things, the Nintendo 64 didn’t have a hell of a lot of games. After all, there were 3D platformers before Super Mario 64, first-person shooters before GoldenEye and buckets of wank before Superman 64.īut – like the analogue stick on its iconic controller – while they weren’t the first of their kind, thanks to Nintendo’s innovation they were the first to capture the imaginations of gamers worldwide. The N64 marked Nintendo’s first proper foray into polygonal gaming (I know, the Super FX chip, but whatever), and with it came a bunch of new concepts that would go on to shape the games we play today. Nowhere was this influence clearer than in some of the games exclusive to the system. The history books list it as the system that was thoroughly trounced by the PlayStation, but with over 32 million sold – more than the Sega Mega Drive – its influence was still notable. įew retro games consoles are as fondly remembered as the Nintendo 64.
