my thing is, with the 64, we got Diddy Kong Racing, Super Mario 64, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Banjo Kazooie for great games.
> i dunno if Donkey Kong 64 was that great, feels empty.
> some decent fighters on the Nintendo 64, even though they look blocky
> some decent wrestling games
a pretty solid library, it's hard to boo. i also really like the variations, your Jungle Green, Atomic Purple smoke... yeah, the controller wasn't the most comfortable, but i love the colors.
I mean, by this era, Nintendo was really (with their N64 commercials) embracing their more edgy Attitude Era. like, Nintendo weren't really having that Sega Attitude, but they kinda had to match that because that's just how society had kinda changed at that time.
we were in that Nickelodeon/MTV kinda gross-out humor era, and Nintendo had to match that attitude with these commercials, which to be fair I think they did a great job with such games like:
> Mario Party 2
> GoldenEye 007 - game changer (Perfect Dark i like a lot as well)
> Banjo-Kazooie
> Conker's Bad Fur Day
> Super Smash Bros.
> Mario Kart 64 - i like that way better than the Super Nintendo one.
> WCW vs nWo World Tour
> Battletanx (3DO)
> Tony Hawk's Pro Skater
> Mickey's Speedway USA - solid cart racer, i don't think people give enough love to Mickey Speedway USA
> Duke Nukem: Zero Hour
> Turok 2: Seeds of Evil - graphics are pretty legit
> F-Zero X
> Star Wars Episode I: Racer
> San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing
> Paper Mario
> Yoshi's Story
> Castlevania 64
> SF Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA
> Pokemon Snap
> Rayman 2
> Donald Duck Goin' Quackers - fun Donald Duck game, Dreamcast port of that looks the best
> Banjo-Tooie
> Mortal Kombat 4
> Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2
> Resident Evil 2
> Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire

A lot of it began in the SNES/Game Boy era actually. with their "Play It Loud" line. Those Nickelodeon/MTV games were also on the NES, SNES, Genesis, and Game Boy.

>Banjo Kazooie [...] great games
Whoa there little buddy.

>>11516176
Is it a new meme to shit on it?
>>
>>11516168
Your post is kind of scattered. Some of the long tangents don't really have anything to do with the attitude thing you are talking about.

That said is something I had forgotten amd it's a neat thing to bring up. Really more of a thing with 3rd and 2nd party devs who were making n64 games. The big N themselves were always really squeaky clean in their image.

NO ANON. You must be a MAN and accept dull grey and brown backgrounds in a depressing setting where you shoot things in a horrific edgy setting. Because life if nothing but PAIN and DEPRESSION and you're not really a man if you don't accept it.

You are annoying and neurotic. It's people like you who go whining to strangers online makes my life less fun not cool video games about dark settings.
>>
>>11516740
That depends how dark and edgy the games you're playing are. How many times did they say "fuck"?
>>
>>11516675
Nobody cared about Banjo until about 2013. Before then it was just another N64 collect-em-up.
>>
>>11516168
What in the name of schizo posting is this shit, are you asking a question or just speaking to the voices inside your head?

>>11516168
N64 definitely had edgy commercials and I was there for it

the energy of Gamecube commercials was totally different (and gay)

Conker was basically a massive shitpost. Rare out-cutesied and outclassed Nintendo that entire gen, built up so much clout for themselves, then just out of the blue dropped the most low-brow, British underclass humor game of all time.
They had to have been sick of Nintendo. If they didn't make this game, Nintendo probably would've been a lot more likely to buy them out.

What a retarded statement
I would have beaten another child to death with a tree branch for a N64 and a copy of banjo

>>11516168
honestly, it is my favorite videogame console to this very day. I'm a PC guy.

Not really, Twelve Tales was geniunely made because the team behind it was mostly Killer Instinct staff and they wanted a break from the violence of KI with a cutesy game, Rare never seemed to hate working on their kid-friendly games.
BFD happened because Twelve Tales was about to get cancelled unless the team came up with a way to revitalise the project (because reviewers were complaining too much about "another kiddie n64 platformer", the guys at Rare weren't confident about the game being a success), so the Stampers asked Chris Seavor "Conker has to steal a beehive from wasps, how you make that fun?" and then he replied "I'll make it violent." and that's how BFD was born.

I just got a n64 with a flashcart and loaded up the entire NA, EU, JP libraries. We had one growing up, but quite a bit more of my time was spent with the PS1. Mostly only played Smash, Conker's, Perfect Dark, and some wrasslin' game. Which would you recommend I check out?
