Going Oldschool (Sort Of): You Favorite Nintendo 64 Games Ever

So, what are they?

Mine (in no particular order):

MarioKart 64
Super Smash Brothers
Goldeneye (Duh!)
NFL Blitz 2000
All Star Baseball '99

 

NFL Blitz
Goldeneye 007
Perfect Dark
The Legend Of Zelda The Ocarina of Time

God I can't wait for Nintendo's next system I want to download & play Goldeneye & Perfect Dark & NFL Blitz again

 

OUCH. Sorry MovieTrailerMusic, but you won't be able to download ANY of those titles.

Unless the third parties agree to jump on the service of course.

Right now, the only games that will be downloaded on the Virtual Console Service will be games Nintendo themselves made.

Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were made by Rare, now owned by Microsoft. Will Gates allow these classic games to be on the Virtual Console Service of their competitor... maybe... depends on how much money they think they can make.

NFL Blitz was made by Midway. This is certainly possible to return to the Virtual Console Service, but so far no thrid-party companies have jumped aboard.

Sorry, but unless Nintendo and Nintendo alone made the game, the Virtual Console Service won't have it (at this time at least. Here's hoping)

 

Perfect Dark was the best game i'd ever played then. It still satisfies me now, it's all i've got left thinking that Microsoft isn't getting the "real" Perfect Dark

Please, let me have that one thing, all else has failed

 

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
2. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
3. Super Mario 64
4. Paper Mario
5. Goldeneye

 

goldeneye was my LIFE back then
and turok 1 and 2 was awesome.

 

1. Super Smash Bro.
2. Original blitz.

 

Goldeneye
Super Smash Bros.
Zelda: Orcarana of Time and Majora's Mask
Blitz 2000
Super Mario 64
Mario Kart

 

But it isn't completely impossible that Goldeneye and Perfect Dark will be downloadable. You are forgetting that when Rare made them they were a second party developer, not third, so Nintendo may still have a good percentage of the rights to them.

 

Nope. When Rare was transferred to Microsoft the deal was that anything Rare did with Nintendo Characters (Star Fox 64 and Adventures, Donkey Kong 64, etc) was Nintendo's property. Everything else (Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Blast Corps, etc.) was still retained as Rare's works.

Otherwise Nintendo would be bitchin that Perfect Dark is a Nintendo lisence and Microsoft wouldn't be getting PD: Zero.

The Only way the Revolution's Virtual Console Service will get Goldeneye or Perfect Dark will be if Rare is authorized by Microsoft to provide the games to Nintendo for the service, which will boil down to how much money Microsoft gets out of the deal.

 

Super Smash Brothers
Zelda: OoT
Goldeneye
Turok 2

 

Diddy Kong racing was utter crack back in the day, it did'nt have the legendary courses that Mario Kart boasted, but it was solid kart/airplane/jetski racing fun, without the need for those sneaky shortcuts that only longtime players could find.

 

Man how could I forget Diddy Kong, that game was the ****.

 

STARFOX!

 

With all the talk of Rare in this thread I'm surprised no one has mentioned Jet Force Gemini. That game was AWESOME. My brothers and I would play it all the time. Once you got that robot you could just have a friend plug in a controller for co-op at any time without having to restart or anything. It was sweet!

 

Diddy Kong Racing and Starfox 64, though made by Rare, are Nintendo lisenced characters and should be on the Revolution's VCS.

Jet Force Gemini is like Perfect Dark, Rare's exclusive property (and now Micro$oft's)

 

1. Zelda Ocarina of time
2. Majoras mask
3. Goldeneye 007
4. WCW revenge/wrestlemania 2000
5. Mario Kart

 

Ocarina of Time (one of the best games ever)
Rogue Squadron
GoldenEye
Perfect Dark

 

Oh, how could I forget, Turok (the original)! It is still the best in the series! I didn't really like Evolution, I like killing dinosaurs better than hybrids.

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron 3-D is the best SW game for the '64.

Donkey Kong 64 was pretty sweet too. I like playing as the dude with the long arms.

 

Goldeneye
Shadows of the Empire
Mario Kart

 

Bad language

 

We must go & destroy thos that wont allow that to be on new systems
