The best N64 games of all time

digitaltrends.com:

When the N64 was introduced to the gaming world, people were taken aback by how the graphics came to life compared to even the best NES games and best SNES games. The concept of “3-D gaming” was entirely new, bringing us closer to the characters and stories we already loved. This new perspective and methods of play brought characters to life in a way we had not seen before. Although not all the games from the N64 could survive the tests of time, there are quite a few that have a place in our hearts.

Going toe-to-toe with the best PS1 games, the N64 had a comparatively smaller number of games but made up for it with quality.

Super Smash Bros.

Several of Nintendo’s most famous franchises lend their likeness’ to this incredibly fun and over-the-top brawler. Players choose between 12 characters — i.e. Mario, Link, Kirby, Yoshi, Samus — and fight in some of Nintendo’s most iconic game levels. If you wanted to beat down your friends as the Pokémon Jigglypuff on Mario’s Mushroom Kingdom stomping ground, you could. The game provided an endless amount of replay value and entertainment while staying incredibly easy to pick up and play.

Unlike many fighting games of its era, Super Smash Bros. didn’t force players to memorize extensive or lengthy button combinations to pull off signature moves. Rather, players needed to learn a handful of simple button combinations to pull off special combos and attacks for any character. Because of this, the game saw wild success on the N64 and helped spawn a slew of sequels on every Nintendo home console since, including Super Smash Bros. Ultimate for Nintendo Switch.

Star Fox 64

Star Fox 64 took gamers to the skies in the sequel to 1993’s Star Fox for the SNES.
