Well, what a topsy-turvy ride our little Ninty console has taken... from a bad reception when it was shown, to the release of Conker's Bad Fur Day!
In my opinion the console has shown some of the best and most innovative games ever and there are definitely some games that will always be remembered!
>>>Here is my N64 'Ultimate Collection'!<<<
1 - Super Mario 64. What a game... graphically, it may begin to pale in comparison to some of the latest PS2 and Dreamcast titles but Mario 64 has got to be the best Nintendo 64 game ever... Purely because it's Mario? Maybe, but you can see the 'moto-magic' and pure genius behind the game, the storyline and the way the whole game works!
2 - Perfect Dark. I know this game didn't go down well with everyone, BUT if you take the multiplayer alone you've got one hell of a game and to add to that a solo game, co-op and even counter-op! The game had too many weapons, too much detail and too much class not to be good... and hey, like the old saying goes... "It's Rare!"
3 - Super SMASH Bros. Quite a wierd fighting game, and even I was completely dumbfounded when I first played it but after the 15 minute learning curve and conjouring up a devious strategy to blast Pikachu into space, a great fighter is revealed, and what better way to get your own back on Pika that to obliterate him with your favourite Ninty character... lets hope Conker's in Melee!
4 - Mario Party. Ah, I remember when a party used to be a reserved event, one where people would converse about matters like hunting, shooting and bathing. Not anymore sister! Mario Party was Mad!... and although the general gameboard gameplay was quite slow the mini-game action was frantic! And still packs a punch to this very day!
5 - Goldeneye 007. How do you describe such a ground breaking game?! Perhaps THE N64 multiplayer game of its lifetime, and although it has been succeeded by Perfect Dark and TWINE, do I think it's been beaten?! Hell no, it's still one of the best Multiplayers and the missions are still fun to-date! Ever tried blowing Natalya up as high as the tree tops?!... Go for it!
6 - Mario Kart. Ah, the remake of THE best SNES game ever, Mario Kart 64 was and still is a hit! Indescribable 4-Player action, great replayability and all the fun of a Mario Title! I was one of the few people who preferred Mario Kart 64 to its predecessor... I saw the graphics as better, the power-sliding more effective and the characters packed full of character! Maybe that's just me... either way, the game was AMAZING!
7 - Mario Tennis. Maybe an odd choice for some but it was Nintendo's answer to Virtua Tennis and in most peoples opinion, it was just as good. The gameplay was simple... easy to learn, hard to master and always fun. The characters were plenty and the modes of play were smashing... it really was quite good! Best N64 Sports Game? Not if our next game has anything to do with it...!
8 - Mario Golf. Four!.... player action and lots of sun, probably only let down by the slow gameplay and blocky graphics and character models! I love this game and even though it is quite prone to providing samey gameplay and boring quickly, it is always a good thing to have incase a few mates crash round and Mario Party is a bit too much... And hey, just like Mario Tennis, the game stays VERY close to the games rules and provides quality gaming whilst doing so!
9 - Conker's Bad Fur Day. Probably the *&%£$!est, %$!*£$est, coolest game ever! Maybe not one to buy but definitely one to play so it has to go in the collection. With the N64's departure from the gaming world imminent, Rare took one last shot and the console and went out with a bang... another bang, a clang, some fire and a very drunk squirrel! Quality gameplay, packed with humor, fun all the way through... what more could you want... (A longer game)... maybe so but with a longer storyline, people might have been too suck of toilet jokes... 'Encore' I say!
10 - Banjo Zaxooie/Tooie. Yay, the bear and bird duo! I love these two, their adventures may be 'kiddie' but the gameplay was immense and it was a real head-scrather... more so Tooie and Kazooie! Both were great and by the time Rare had finished BT, they'd just about mastered N64 development, it's a shame the Gamecube is coming in a way... On second thoughts... *Slap!*
Well, there we go... most genres included, most, if not all games by Nintendo and Rare, but why not?! Their games were and still are outstanding and they have definitely raised the benchmark for games development!
I can only see success in Nintendo's future. With Sega bringing their best titles and Dragon Warrior all but announced by Enix, the Gamecube and Nintendo Co. Ltd, look set for success!

Actually, all this information was collected by the government, I purchased it for a reasonable price. That's right... it's all secondary market research. And it's mine.... unless you copy it, which you won't because I missed out Zelda...
(You PRAT) I know, I know... Ortega was right... (You mean Wilmaaaa) No,... oh yes, him as well.
(This isn't going to get us KKK now, you realise that) Oh yeah, I guesed that... lets hope we get a donation... (from who), I'm not sure really... (RSGVC) Who?! (The Royal Society for the Giving of Videogames to Children!) Oh yeah right, nice one... and you're what I depend on to get me through the day?! God i'm in trouble!
(Yes... you are... Muahahaha)

yeah you fool? how da hell did you miss out OOT in the top ten ninty games! chuck out SSB and put zelda in there.
smash brothers shoudnt be in there. Fun for a few minutes but the novelty of whcking pikachu with a hammer doesnt last very long. Its just a button basher with no skill involved. But i agree with the rest apart from tooie, but i did like the first one. So i agree with 8 and half of them!
