Favorite N64 Game

Isn't it on the Wii Shop Channel still? So technically you can get it, just not the newest of new versions. Unless it's not on there then oops. I've not looked in ages.

I don't even know who can access that still and how to enter points lol I never see Wii point cards anymore until recently Best Buy decided to put out a bunch.

You're thinking of the original Harvest Moon on the SNES. HM64 has too many coding issues to be on VC.
 
Unfortunately I didn't play a lot of games on the N64. The only ones I remember playing that I really liked were Mariokart 64 and this other racing game that we rented one time and it involved driving Volkswagon Bugs. Most others I remember watching my brother play such as Super Mario 64 and Mario Party.

I didn't really start to get into gaming until the GBA and Gamecube.
 
Has to be Golden Eye. :)

Ha, I remember that one! I didn't play it much, however, because my brother and I received it from a relative when we already had 007 for the gamecube, which in my opinion was much better in comparison.

I have to say my favorite was banjo kazooie. I also remember playing this one game... I think it was called "Hey you Pikachu!" or something like that. It was kind of boring and didn't have much to it, but I thought being able to talk to pikachu was like the coolest thing ever, so I played it all the time :P
 
Donkey Kong 64 is my favorite. I loved the exploring and collecting, and the music in the game is amazing. I've replayed the game about 7 times, and I'd like to go through it again sometime soon.
 
My favourite has to be the Mario Parties, has so much memories playing them. Mario Party 2 would be my favourite out of all three since I had that one the longest.

That's not stopped them from releasing crap that doesn't work that no one asked for multiple times in a row. They could do HM64 if they felt like it. Glitches or not, people probably would enjoy it coming back.

I loved Banjo & Kazooie as well. I also remember my jaw dropping reading the first review of Ocarina of Time and then it dropping again when I first played it. :D

N64 had a ton of good games. I loved the Mario Kart for the N64 (my favourite after the snes version), Harvest Moon was awesome, Mario 64, Diddy Kong Racing, Duke Nukem, Perfect Dark, Mystical Ninja, etc, etc.

I picked Goldeneye for the multiplayer. Proximity mines deathmatches :D:D
 
Donkey Kong 64. What a Great game (hope 1 day it gets a port to 3DS) to this day one of my Favs.
 
I would die if I saw Banjo Kazooie on Virtual Console, or even remastered, but Microsoft is the wicked witch that owns them now..
 
Mine would have to be Smash Bros, Pokemon Stadium, Ocarina of Time, and Majora's Mask.
 
I didn't know Banjo Kazooie was so popular! I never had the chance to play it.

For me it's a tough call between Super Mario 64 and Paper Mario 64.

There are the amazing Xbox 360 ports which are the defacto versions of the game, as they added in so much stuff from the original.
 
Banjo-Kazooie/Tooie.

I remember my Dad got me Banjo-Kazooie for my birthday when I was a kid. Bloody loved that game...Though I didn't complete it until later on because I couldn't get enough Jiggy's to get past the 'Halloween level' (and I was afraid to do the actual level as a kid xD)
I don't remember when/where I got Banjo-Tooie, I just know that I own it o.O I think it was my Dad again.

The characters and levels are initially what got me hooked since everything was so humor filled and almost everything had a personality. It's one of the few games I can think of where even the collectibles and inanimate objects had a personality! That as well as the Mumbo's Magic with almost every level. I looked forward to seeing what I would be turned into next!

To me, Mario 64 laid the groundwork for 3D platformers, but RARE came along with Banjo-Kazooie and perfected it. With the setting, level design, power ups, abilities, Mumbo Jumbo animal transformations, humor, characters, bosses and of course, solid controls and platforming.


It's not just my favorite game on N64, it's one of my favorite games ever. Easily in my top 5.



I cry every time I remember that Micro$oft now owns RARE, especially when I look at how they're used these days (or more accurately, how they're not used)...

The ports are exactly the same as the N64 versions except the HUD is now in HD and certain parts had to be changed for copyright, such as the N64 logo walking in at the start...Which is now a few seconds of awkward silence because laziness.

Oh...And the addition of those cringeworthy (and unnecessary) little cutscenes at the end advertising Nuts & Bolts.

They didn't really add anything that wasn't in the original game.

Never played a N64, but I was able to play Mario 64 DS. So I'd say Mario 64. It was such a great game that deviates from the usual Mario Games we're used to. I really like how they made the 3D Worlds really big so there's a lot to explore.
