I never had the pleasure of owning an N64. I remember renting a machine when I was a kid and playing Super Mario. Is there any games you recommend for my retroarch machine?
Absolute musts are Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Zelda: Majora’s Mask. Otherwise stick with the rest of the popular ones and you’ll be alright - Mario 64, Donkey Kong 64. Star Wars had a few good ones - Rogue Squadron, Shadows of the Empire (janky as fuck, probably didn’t age all that well, but was pretty innovative for its time), Episode 1 Racer (although if you’re also emulating PS2 games, Star Wars Racer Revenge is much better imo).
Jetforce Gemini ofc, but I’m not kidding about the controls being dogshit - proceed only if you’re willing to completely rewire your perception of which buttons are supposed to perform which actions.
Some multiplayer greats are Super Smash Bros and Gauntlet Dark Legacy.
IIRC Aero Gauge was a decent racer, although the SW ones are better.
Kirby Crystal Shards was a solid 64 adaptation.
…I think at this point I’m just rattling off what I can remember from my own collection, lol. The nostalgia juices are really flowing!
Hell ya, there are dozens of us that are on your side! Recently started a play through that I pick up from time to time on emulator. The controls are way worse than I remember lol.
I remember I recently replayed GoldenEye for the N64 at a local brewery and not knowing how to shoot someone. I was so used to modern controls that I felt disoriented playing the old controls.
I wish there was a mod that tried to mimic modern controls.
Fighting words I know, but the best shooter on the N64 was NOT GoldenEye 007.
Jetforce Gemini, baby!!
Controls were dogshit, but then so were most games’ from that era.
Wave Race 64
Here is my wishlist. Thank you in advance. :D
A dog with a jet pack and a gun. What’s not to love?
