VIEW DETAILSThe Nintendo 64 (named after is 64-bit processor) was released in 1996 for Japan and North America, and 1997 for Europe. After multiple delays in release since 1995, the Nintendo 64 had massive hype leading up to its launch, causing massive demand from consumers. Outselling the PlayStation and Sega Saturn initially, the Nintendo 64 went on to sell a whopping 32.93 million units.
While its competitors used CDs for games, Nintendo decided to continue with releasing their games on cartridges. Nintendo chose cartridges for faster load times, more difficulty for piracy, and greater physical durability as opposed to Compact discs. This provided more benefits early in the Nintendo 64’s life span rather than later. 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.
Having a miniscule but powerful library of 388 games over its lifetime (compared to the PlayStation’s 1100), the Nintendo 64 put out timeless classics like Mario Kart 64, Mario Party, Perfect Dark, Super Smash Bros, and Conker’s Bad Fur Day. 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!
This iconic N64 model features Pikachu and a Pokeball. Who wouldn’t want this?
A fancy gold N64. Pairs well with a gold cartridge of Ocarina of Time.
If you decide to acquire a Nintendo 64, these are the games you NEED to play. The N64 has seen timeless multiplayer action in Super Smash Bros, Mario Kart 64, and Mario Party. It has also given us the legendary Zelda Ocarina of Time which is required to be in possession of all N64 owners.
The Nintendo 64 was a fun console to play solo, but with your friends it was “FUNTASTIC”. The widely popular Super Smash Bros and Mario Party series found their roots on the N64, as well as innovative titles like Golden Eye and Pokemon Stadium. These epic titles provided hours of multiplayer entertainment then and now.
With the N64 having only released 296 games in the US compared to the PS1’s 1,300, there are bound to be games that are hard to find. Some games were uncommon like the Blockbuster exclusive Clay Fighter: Sculpter’s Cut. Others such as Yoshi’s Story International Edition were only used as demo carts in retail stores. These games below are not only pricy, but are very difficult to find at all.
There were plenty of memorable gems on the Nintendo 64, but there are also some you are still trying to forget. The Nintendo 64 had the displeasure of hosting awful titles such as the massively disappointing Daikatana and the infamous Superman 64. These ugly titles should be avoided at all costs.
Many remember the Nintendo 64 as a system loaded with KA and E-rated titles that made their childhood, but not all Nintendo 64 games were for kids. The blood splattering shooters of Turok and Doom, and the crude humor of Conker’s Bad Fur Day catered to a more mature audience. If you’re looking for a little more action and grit out of your Nintendo 64, these games are for you.
Think you’ve played it all on the N64? These are some interesting titles that were Japan Only, like the difficult shooter Sin & Punishment and the dating sim Getter Love!!
The N64 is sadly region blocked, but has easy methods to convert it. The plastic cartridge tray on the inside of the system physically blocks the different shaped Japanese carts. Since the only region block is physically plastic, modifications to the system are a piece of cake!
1) Cartridge Back Swap - If you only have a Japanese and US cart, you can unscrew the back halves and switch them, allowing the Japanese cart to fit into the system. This is a quick and easy, but may involve a lot of switching back and forth.
2) Gameshark - An N64 Gameshark allows room for a cart to be placed on top of it, giving room for imported games to be played. This is a more unreliable method, but can still be effective.
3) Removing, Modifying, or Replacing the Cartridge Tray - The cartridge tray is the only thing stopping your N64 from being universal. Removing it, filing down the edges, or replacing it with a universal one will be a one time fix to play imports.
