N64 Mini – What Games Would You Like To See?

With the release of the SNES Classic Mini it’s only right to think that we could be on the way to getting an N64 Mini loaded with a few games.... But what games? HGR takes a look!

[Neonridr]

Good list, I would definitely add Diddy Kong Racing, Blast Corps, Smash Bros, Banjo Kazooie, Mario Golf, Shadows of the Empire / Rogue Squadron as possible additions as well.

[AOXSquare]

Diddy Kong Racing was in the list, but got cut as we had to get the list down to 10.... So many games! It's more than likely if an N64 Mini is released there will be double what we've put so the games you've mentioned have a chance! :D

[Neonridr]

yeah definitely. You would have to figure the final number would be in the 15-20 range for sure.

[PurpHerbison]

I'd rather have two kart racers than two Zeldas.

[Yukes]

Body Harvest for a left field choice. Underrated little gem back in the day.

[NotoriousWhiz]

I just want both Mystical Ninja games. Everything else is a bonus.

Sorry to say but only GoldenEye and Mario Kart 64 would be the ony games I would even consider (and I played) on the N64. This system was one of the worse consoles Nintendo released. Especially coming off of the supreme, ridiculousness of the SNES.

The list is mediocre to compared to what we have seen on the NES/SNES mini, not to mention MS now owns the rights to Perfect Dark. And having a wrestling game on the list...just goes to show how awful the N64 was.

[Neonridr]

Ocarina of Time / Majora's Mask or Super Mario 64 aren't games you would consider playing?

The Wrestling game is obviously the author's personal favorite. I always liked WWE vs NWO World Tour on 64 myself.

but plenty of awesome Nintendo 64 games to pull from.

[gangsta_red]

I have to be honest, those two were good games but not the best Zelda's I played. I am still a fan of Link to the Past.

There are a few scattered N64 games that are good but not nearly enough to have a superior list like you would have for a SNES or NES mini. And not nearly enough to scour the streets looking for one on your local shelf or behind some ally being scalped by a shady RE:4 vendor.

"The Wrestling game is obviously the author's personal favorite"

And many, many, many, others. There is a reason NO Mercy is placed on a pedestal. Even to this very day a wrestling game has yet to top it.

[Neonridr]

@gangsta_red - yeah LTTP is my favorite all time. I think that is why I enjoyed a Link Between Worlds so much.

No, the SNES was by far the best Nintendo console in my books. I mean the SNES Mini has a great list of games but you could make a case for SO many more to be on there. The 64 definitely doesn't have as much, but there shouldn't be a problem putting together a solid 15-20 titles..

And I was wrong about the wrestling game, it was WCW vs NWO World Tour (can't edit my original comment).

You just stepped all over my childhood gangsta. Not cool man.

[gangsta_red]

I promise my feet were clean. ;)

Mario 64, Turok series, and both Zelda games were very solid. Admittedly the 64 (and beyond) the consoles didn't have as many good tittles. But the good titles are still good. I'd like to see rouge squadron personality...

[gangsta_red]

The good titles are definitely the best but my thing is it worth hunting down a N64 mini and potentially paying way over the market price?

[Horseygamer]

worth just it for Zelda ocarina of time

[DeeJayQc]

Mario Kart 64, Mario 64, Legends of Zelda's games!! :) Also Ogre Battle 64 (My personnal favorite of the N64 ERA). Got Blast Corps on Rare replay. Add to that list Rogue Squadron, Golden Eye (Won't happen.. but that would be great!)

[DaFeelz]

Wave Race, 1080 and Xtreme G

[Servbot41]

N64 Mini would never work. Over half the library of actual good N64 games were made by Rare, and we all know what happened to those.

[Rando1ph]

No Turok? Wtf man?
