100% Truth, and that list isn't even complete! So yes, a N64 is awesome, go for it if you manage to find a cheap one with proper controllers (they indeed break kinda quickly).matnatz said:
Yep, absolutely. There's no guarantee you'll like it, as with everything, but it's generally agreed that the N64 had the highest concentration of outstanding games of any console - though it didn't have the sheer number of games as, say, the Playstation.
You should get it, there are a lot of great games, most were listed in the above posts.
Chameleon Twist is a great game too.

All these games, plus F-Zero... and Ken Griffy Jr. Baseball was good. It was an awesome system, and a whole lot of fun to play.
The N64 is my fav console of all time. Just make sure you get a controller that works and avoid the original Mario Party if you want it to keep working.
To be fully honest, to me the N64 was the weakest console among Nintendos lineup.
As far as I know, the only games worth trying out for it already exists on other consoles already in refreshed and updated forms.
Mario 64 is already been released (and updated) for the Nintendo DS
Legend of Zelda (both Ocarina of Time and Majoras Mask) already exists ported to the GameCube.
Conker is on the Xbox1
Killer Instinct was on Arcades and on the SNES
To me, the N64 was a Nintendo console I messed with the least with only a few handful of games worth playing. Well... that and the Wii but that's a complete different story...

It's hard to picture the n64 was a retro gaming platform now. D:mikecoulter said:
To answer your question, yes it was an excellent console. Some of the best games ever made were made on the nintendo 64. Some people consider it nintendo's last great console. I never owned a gamecube personally and I deffinately wouldn't buy a wii, but the N64 holds a very special place in my heart. I loved that console.
If you do get one the absolute must titles that you need to get are:
1. Mario 64
2. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of time
3. Conker's Bad Fur Day
4. Star Wars Shadows of the Empire (or any of the rogue squadron games really)
5. Goldeneye(maybe, this was more of a period peice)
6. Perfect Dark(same as goldeneye, FPS of the past just aren't as impressive these days)
I'm sure there are more but my memory escapes me atm. D:
Too right, i loved the N64, some awesome games like Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark XD
