Poll: Best N64 Game?

[crimsondynamics]

The lack of love for Blast Corps makes me a sad panda.

It probably wasn't up there with GoldenEye, Mario and StarFox (pulling your first Immelman was amazing) but what a brilliant and refreshing concept for a game. I'd love to see a sequel.

I'd say Zelda: Majoras Mask.
It's soooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better than Ocarina of Time.

Blast Corps. owns my ass, I just didn't really have the space to include it - and FYI it got better reviews than StarFox 64, mostly.

And yeah, more Corps. would be nice: on VC/XBLA or as a sequel - assuming Rare doesn't botch it, like they have with PD: Zero, the new Banjo, and Conker: L&R (which I consider unlikely; all Rare can do is develop games that get 80% averages these days).

I voted for SM64 because it makes me melt into a puddle of pure ecstasy just to pull his nose at the title screen.
Perfect dark is better than GoldenEye IMO. Better guns, more immersive story and a better lead character.

I love ALL N64 games because they are big carts. Nothing better than a big cart. Much better than a big disc like everyone seems to cram into their fanboy arses these days for three reasons.

1. A cart can take a beating and STILL be as good as before you droppoed it down the stairs.
2. You can save onto a cart. You need nothing but the console, a controller, a game and the TV
3. Easier to wipe fecal matter off a cart

GOLDENEYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

almost to hard to decide, but i went with Ocarina of Time as i find it to be the best game ever created, but the N64 easily has the best games ever made, and when it comes to consoles, its on my top 3 with NES and ps1

 

[EzraPound]

better lead character.

Yeah, Joanna Dark is a hot slut.

I remember the first time I saw Mario take off his hat and scratch his head in Mario 64. I thought it was a sign of the gods and the pinnacle of gaming...Please keep in mind, I was 9 or 10 years old.

Where's the option for Pokemon Snap? Kidding. It's not the best N64 game, but I still enjoyed the hell out of it.

I played the hell out of Pokemon snap. Maxed-out score on the Mew pic, right here. I really want to say that it, or any of the games on the list are my favourite, but there is one game that must be given love.

Spoiler: Irish's crazy opinion

WWE No Mercy! By far the best wrestling game I've ever played. The controls were easy to learn and fluid. The grahpics, for the time, were solid. The unlockable features made the game worth playing through (although having the most difficult unlockable feature being a woman named "Ho" is strange in my book. But most of all, I loved the create-a-wrestler feature. It was simple, it was detailed, and it was fun. Newer wrestling games may have more features, but they simply cannot compare. When it comes down to it, the most fun I had with my N64 was a 60-person first-blood-only Royal Rumble with ring-outs turned off.

definately OOT. super mario 64 was ok but not as good as the 2D games (mario bros 3 is the best so far). goldeneye was classic, perfect darf was great but didnt have...something...that goldeneye did. majora's mask was a good game but it wasn't as good as OOT. i havent played smash bros, would like to someday, though!

I'm not really sure there's a whole lot to argue about. I think most of the people who prefer single player games (or don't have friends; sorry, guys, since I'm grown and married and none of my friends play videogames anymore, I'm basically in your boat too) are going to go for Ocarina of Time and all of guys like me who had that one friend whose mother let all us twelve year old kids stay up drinking soda and playing videogames until 4 in the morning are going to go for Goldeneye. And at this point, it looks like that's a solid third of us.

I'll give honorable mention awards to SSB, because it was awesome to own people with Jigglypuff, and to Mario Kart, except for that one Wario Stadium level where all of your friends knew how to do that shortcut jump but you.

In the end though, I don't think I'll ever have the sort of fun in my life again that I used to have with Goldeneye. There's just one thing I have to get off my chest...

I CALL NO ODDJOB!!!

Sin and Punishment by Treasure.

 

[sophtswitch]

Blast Corps was a game and a half. Went for Goldeneye because I had so many good times with friends playing that. Banjo-Kazooie is a classic too, shame the new one doesn't sound like it's up to scratch.

Pilotwings was another amazing game. Top background music too.

And I played Donkey Kong til my hands got RSI.... not really but I did play it a lot

 

[fix-the-spade]

I SEE NO OPTION FOR LYLAT WARS!

Besides being the game that simngle handedly ruined my life (I reckong I've racked up at least 10'000 play throughs in the 11 years since it came out), it's highly addictive. It's also the best rail shooter ever made. Or ever likely to be made for that matter.

Although of that list it's either Goldeneye or Mario.

Both completely nailed their respective concepts at a time when nobody was quite sure how do a 3-D platformer or Console specific FPS.

 

[Canadianwookie]

Bad fur day, and Rare should seriously look into a sequel.

Other than the viva pinata series, (which is awesome btw) I don't really think rare is doing to well on the game side of things. I mean the new banjo looks like crap. So come on conker!

 

[RAWKSTAR]

GAAAH!!
Tough choice! Have to stick with OoT though...

 

[Mukiwa]

I really enjoyed Star Wars Rogue Squadron I have to say. I'd never played Goldeneye till about 3 weeks ago when my flatmate traded in his old PS2 for an N64 and by crikey is it still a fantastic game!

No Winback: Covert Ops? curse you.
