Your top five favorite Nintendo 64 games?

[Patney]

1. Majora's Mask
2. Ocarina of Time
3. Mario 64

These were among the really few N64 games that managed to leave a lasting impression on me. To be perfectly honest I think Nintendo 64 had one of the worst libraries ever... The few good games it had were excellent though.

[old man]

In no particular order:

Super Mario 64
Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness
Star Fox 64
Conker's BFD
Body harvest
new tetris
shadow gate 64
Zelda oot

[retroman]

no order,
Mario 64
Zelda oot
Waverace 64
Goldeneye
AllStar Baseball

[nemerodius]

1. Wave Race
2. Blast Corps
3. Pilot Wings
4. F-Zero X
5. Goldeneye

N64 is the easiest console, for me, to remember my faves..

[Suikoman444]

My top 5 list was fairly easy to come up with.

1) Paper Mario
2) The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
3) The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
4) Mischief Makers
5) Mario Kart 64

These are also pretty much the only N64 games I've ever enjoyed enough to finish.

I'm gonna be honest, I can only think of three:

Wave Race, Doom 64 and Ocarina of Time.

I can't remember anything else on that system that was actually worth owning, and nine times out of ten when I even want to play it, its for one of those three games.

I agree with these three games, not much else on the 64. I've seriously considered selling my 64 collection off on ebay in a lot, but those three games have kept me from doing so.

Every other highly acclaimed title on the console is criminally overrated:
Star Fox 64
DK 64/Mario 64
Pilotwings 64
Excitebike 64
Goldeneye/Perfect Dark

Mediocre games at best. Poor 64. The games were so impressive for their time, but have aged very badly.

The N64 is really the only system I ever play anymore. So picking a top 5 is easy because alot N64 games are also some of my favorite games of all time.

1) Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
2) Ocarina of Time
3) Mario 64
4) Goemon's Great Adventure
5) Bomberman 64

[Lerxstnj]

The only games I play on the N64 are Excitebike 64 and Golden Eye.
I prefer the Zeldas on Gamecube.

Not sure why Excitebike didn't get an update on GC.
Anyway, I am going for the world record on some tracks.
(not too hard, since hardly anyone else plays it)
Anyone want to share their best times? Send me a pm.

I couldn't decide on just 5, so here's my top 10:

01. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
02. Star Fox 64
03. Goldeneye 007
04. Super Mario 64
05. Mario Kart 64
06. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
07. Super Smash Bros.
08. Mischief Makers
09. Turok: Dinosaur Hunter
10. Star Wars: Rogue Squadron

Ironic that my two top favorite N64 games just happen to be the two N64 games they remade on the 3DS.

And 9 out of your 10 got updates on the GC as well.

I found Donkey Kong 64 and Excitebike 64 to be overrated, but I wouldn't say they've aged poorly. Donkey Kong 64 still looks impressive, especially considering it's a 12 year old game running on 15 year old hardware. Graphically, Rare did an amazing job and it could pass for a first-generation Dreamcast game.

To say Star Fox 64, Super Mario 64, Goldeneye 007, and Perfect Dark are "criminally overrated" is just plain incorrect. Those four games are masterpieces.

[wingzrow]

1: Harvest Moon 64 ( WHY HAS NOBODY MENTIONED THIS )
2: Legend of Zelda Majora's Mask
3: Sin and punishment
3: Star Fox 64
5: Super Smash Bros.
6: Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time
7: Paper Mario
8: Mario Kart 64
9: Kirby 64 - The Crystal Shards
10: Banjo Kazooie

I never played any Dreamcast game in which large trees suddenly materialize when you come within 2 feet of them. DK 64 may look nice in stills, but the pop-up was horrendous.

Your opinion is just plain incorrect.

I actually really LOVE the N64. I loved the many sandbox-like platformers like Mario 64, Banjo's kazooie, Mystical Ninja and so on. I really miss games that are made like this...

1: Mystical Ninja
2: Mischief makers
3: Space Station: Silicon Valley
4: Hexen
5: Bomberman 64 (the first one)
