It remains a cornerstone of the great N64 racing library. Just like its SNES counterpart, this flight simulator launched the console and showed just what the Nintendo 64 could do, and it makes for a soothing experience.
The game features a wide array of flying contraptions utilize and secrets to unlock. Pilotwings starts with a series of pre-defined tasks to master, but also offers some great experiences of freedom as you dive into the game. Pilotwings 64 has remained a fan favorite that has finally received a sequel on the 3DS and a Wii follow-up was cancelled.
It seems like an odd choice as one of the best N64 racing games, but it still remains as one of the most hidden gems that saw a rather wide release. Most gamers would just assume its just a boring licensed racer.
However, BAR features amazing track designs with tons of shortcuts on each. The controls also handle beautifully, and despite the fact that the Beetles are the only cars in the game, the sense of speed is tremendous. There are so many ways to play the game, that you can play each track dozens of times and see something new every time. This amount of variance makes the game feel fresh. Wetrix is a novel twist on the simple block-based puzzle genre established by Tetris and is one of the few games of this type that works in 3D.
The multiplayer in Wetrix is one of the best of its kind, with a game between two good players being a highly enjoyable frantic dash to get ducks and evaporate water, while throwing earthquakes and ice at the other player to hamper them. A sequel, Aqua Aqua, was released for the PS2 but failed to capture the magic of the original. The Rayman series has been a reliable source of platforming goodness. The second installment in the series was its first venture into 3D, but it did so with great timing sticking with beautiful 2D in the bit era.
At the time of its release, Rayman 2 set new standards for what should be expected for the 3D platforming games and still remains one of the most loved platforming games of all time.
While the game did receive ports on the Sega Dreamcast and Playstation 2 among other later platforms that enhanced graphics and added mini-games, the original N64 version still is a solid game and avoids the load times of the disc-based versions. All the later ports has undoubtably helped keep the resale prices of the N64 cartridge to affordable levels. Wave Race is another one of those great games that were made even better on the Gamecube, but Wave Race 64 holds up better than some others and is a great showpiece for the N64 — especially for its water design in this formative generation of 3D graphics.
Wave Race 64 has some great controls and theres great tournament and stunt modes to keep you entertained. Yet another solid N64 racer. Like the classic game of the same name, Excitebike 64 is a dirt-bike racer — and is quite a good one. It features 20 tracks include indoor and outdoor courses, stunt areas, uphill climb challenges, licensed bikes and riders, a four-player multiplayer mode, and outstanding graphics.
Its a pretty solid example of 3D racing on the N64 and to this day, a good dirt-bike racer is hard to find. With all this in mind, Excitebike 64 is an excellent choice for those on a budget. Sure, Nintendo added some Pokemon characters in the game, but at its core, Puzzle League also known as Panel De Pon and Tetris Attack is one of the best block-based puzzlers of all time.
What the Nintendo 64 lacked in quality fighting games, it more than made up for in quality wrestling titles. These games set the standard for many wrestling games to follow in terms of quality and combat systems, including new fighting systems, real arenas, and even adding in a Create-A-Wrestler mode with a deep library of wrestling moves. Nintendo chose cartridges for faster load times, more difficulty for piracy, and greater physical durability as opposed to Compact discs.
Nintendo 64 cartridges had less storage capacity and limited graphics storage. The console itself also included interesting features, such as four controller ports and upgradeable memory from 4MB to 8MB by use with an Expansion Pak. The Nintendo 64 also came in a variety of colors and styles, including the Funtastic series, Gold system, and Limited Edition Pikachu version.
Titles like Goldeneye 64 and Super Mario 64 were iconic and influential among their genres, and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is still known to this day as one of the greatest video games of all time. Because of these legendary games, the Nintendo 64 will always remain close to gamers' hearts. The standard N64 was a basic grey, but there are a number of colorful special edition consoles to collect.
If you want to have the coolest N64 out of your friends, get one of these! It has also given us the legendary Zelda Ocarina of Time which is required to be in possession of all N64 owners.

Known as one of the greatest games ever, Ocarina of Time is a necessity for N64 owners. Do you even own a N64 without this game? Hailed by wrestling fans as one of the best wrestling games of all time, WWF No Mercy is truly exceptional.

This raunchy, yet charming platformer is quite unique. These epic titles provided hours of multiplayer entertainment then and now. The iconic first person shooter that players enjoyed for hours with friends. The sequel to the original Mario Party that is enjoyed best when all the controller ports are occupied. The beloved skateboarding classic that was awesome to play with friends.
These games below are not only pricy, but are very difficult to find at all. Due to a bug in the game, Acclaim allowed players to mail in their game for a fixed copy that was grey. Few took up this opportunity, so few gray cartridges exist. There were plenty of memorable gems on the Nintendo 64, but there are also some you are still trying to forget.
