games for Nintendo 64

20,000 · Posted: Mon Jan 15, 2007 7:57 am Post subject: games for Nintendo 64

This is probably very outdated, but I figured I would ask anyways.

I used to have an NES and SNES, but then went the way of Playstation and PS2 for the past ten+ years. Now, my gf found an old Nintendo 64 system in her parents' basement. Since I have been out of the loop about Nintendo for such a long time, I thought I would ask you guys what are good games I could get for this system when I go look at used games at the store.

I know I will look for any Zelda games available, and perhaps some Mario games, but is there anything else out there that would be good to look at if I happen to come across it?

Thanks.

Donkey Kong 64
Mario Kart 64
GoldenEye 007
Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire
Pilotwings 64 (if you feel the need to break a few controllers)
Banjo-Kazooie
Blast Corps

As you said, both of the Zelda games plus Super Mario 64 is a good choice.
If you like wrestling games, Wrestlemania 2000 is one of the best ever made.

Whatever you do, you gotta go with Goldeneye 007, the best game on N64 by far.

Wow, Goldeneye sounds good. I think the gf had this game and is in with the rest of the console. I will have to check it out when I have time.

Goldeneye remains one of the greatest games of all time. revolutionized first person shooters.

Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire is a LOT of fun and this is coming from someone who hates most star wars games.

Mario Kart 64 may be some of the most fun you can have gaming.

Super Mario 64 took the sidescroll away from the mario franchise and it rules.

i'm looking forward to downloading some of these games on my Wii virtual console.

Goldeneye ROCKS. Even my wife, who hates shooter games, had fun with it. One of the best games to play with others, and pretty easy to use.

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron and Star Wars: Racing (i.e. Pod Racing) were also a LOT of fun.

Both the Zeldas alone make owning a 64 worth it.
Other essentials: Smash Brothers, Mario World, Goldeneye, NFL Blitz, Mario Kart

Microsoft "Oh you want to use goldeneye? Ok then let us use Mario 64 on xbox live arcade".

IMO both Wii and 360 should be able to use goldeneye on there online thing. Then I can buy goldeneye for the xbox live arcade and play it online most likely since they probably would add that feature.

I use to own all my friends in Goldeneye.

360 games:

Far Cry, GoW, and NBA 2K7.

Make sure to get XBox Live, if you do, you should be set for the next 2 months.
