Star wars pod racer
Mario kart 64
Mario 64
Conkers bad fur day

Where could you go wrong?

Allot of my youth was spent playing these games.

You could probably go wrong playing star wars pod racer, that game was shoddy at best.

Or for the same price, a 60gb PS3
Seriously, N64 prices are geting ridiculous

Really? The Movie Trading Company here sells n64 game for around 2-5$ a game. Sometimes 7$ if it was a hit.

I... Liked the controller actually. Something about that trigger-like grip just nailed it for me.

lol I completely forgot about that video. I wonder where this kid is today. Probably on the escapist somewhere.

Hey, when I was younger I had the original, bulky Playstation 1. And am looking at getting back into to world of slightly retro gaming.

Think the N64 is worth a go?

No, new normal consoles are much better than retro ones. Retro games are boring.

 

[ffxfriek]

Absolutely, there are some really phenominal games on it:

Star Fox
Goldeneye
Super Mario
Paper Mario
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask
Banjo Kazooie
Smash Bros
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Perfect Dark
Donkey Kong
Pokemon Stadium

The list goes on, either way this is an excellent choice of console. Hop you have fun with it.

excellent list ive heard good things on over half these games

 

[Sevre]

Yeah I'd definitely recommend it, if you are into that sort of thing.

 

[PureChaos]

N64s were amazing, some fantastic games on there. i have an N64 emulator and it is awesome.

 

[Kinguendo]

If you are getting Conker's Bad Fur Day... then yes, but not if you are planning on getting any Legend of Zelda games... just play the newest one and think of it with worse graphics and there you go, same story and everything.

 

[are.you.the.god.its.me.vader]

My fave console of all time. Yay

 

[snace13]

the N64 was my the last Nintendo console i bought, but it was by far my favorite one.

 

[high_castle]

I feel old. Nostalgic gaming for me involves the original Nintendo or the upgraded Super Nintendo (remember when that came out, anybody?). But anyway...N64 was a lot of fun in its day. But part of the appeal of nostalgic gaming is picking up something you used to play (or better yet, couldn't beat) as a kid and reliving those memories. Without the memories, it just feels like playing old games. If you like old games, great. If you're more accustomed to today's realistic graphics and sprawling open worlds, you may be in for some culture shock.

 

[Brotherofwill]

Hells Yea!

Was thinking of maybe getting one myself again, it's so good.
