I'm looking forward to Snowboard Kids on the DS!

Absolutely loved that on the N64 and I'd bet it would be superb on a multiplayer DS game!

I know. I never had enough money to buy it because it was £60, and now it's even more. It's getting rereleased on Xbox though so I'll play it one day (when I pick up a cheap Xbox for KOTOR and Fable among others)

You've never played Conker?

You've missed out on the last great RARE game... and the finest N64 game in existance.

Conker's Bad Fur Day is the greatest N64 game.

Paper Mario needs a mention too.

Oh I know of the appeal of No Mercy... I am a massive Zelda fan (aren't we all) and it stopped me playing Majora's Mask for about a month. Zelda would go in and I'd be like "I'll give it proper time just after I've unlocked Vince and bought the big cheese". And this was even with that bug that kept erasing the game!

I missed Banjo Kazooie because I'm actually only playing it through properly for the first time now. Previously, I only played it for about 2 hours or something. And I wasn't amazed, although it seemed pretty damn good. I'll have a proper opinion in a couple of weeks.

And No Mercy wasn't as bad in single player as a title like Mario Party, but it still didn't really do much for me. As the difficulty rating got harder and you faced the better characters in the Championship bit, all the computer did was conjure some magic ability to reverse your moves a lot more frequently. Had quite a lot of depth, but very, very repetitive and frustrating after a while. Big laugh in multiplayer, though, as I said.

you're missing Banjo Kazooie as well. Ridge Racer 64 was also pretty awesome, as was Silicon Valley
