I like Mario Kart and Robotron 64, Ridge Racer is pretty good, Beetle Adventure Racing. I don't wanna say that any are the worst but its not a system I care for beyond those few games I mentioned.

[understatement]

All games are the worst when played with the original controller. If you get a Hori mini pad there are some playable games.

I have no clue why people hate the controller, I thought it was perfect for what it was doing.

I as well cannot understand the hate for the N64 controller. Its simple and gets the job done. Why the hate?

I have no clue why people hate the controller, I thought it was perfect for what it was doing.

It was uncomfortable as hell when playing games that used analog mode (which is practically the entire library) but for the few games that used digital mode (mainly WCW and WWF games like No Mercy) it was bliss.

Probably because the joystick wears out if you actually use the controller more than once.

My launch N64's original controller still works just fine. People abusing the hell out of the controllers wore them out (apparently certain Mario Party minigames caused a lot of this) but people who actually treated them right had little to worry about.

I enjoyed the hell out of Body Harvest, Jet Force Gemini and Mischief Makers. Also even though I'm not an Episode 1 fan Battle for Naboo is a very well made game with some of the best sound and visuals on the console. As for the worst, aside from the already mentioned stuff like Carmageddon and Daikatana, Polaris SnoCross is a pile as is Chef's Luv Shack

South Park: Chef's Luv Shack isn't too bad a game for what it is. It is definitely possible to derive some form of entertainment from the minigames when playing against friends.

I played Daikatana just because the story of how it was made was interesting to me. Horrible horrible game, I couldnt get to the sword in the vault, so I had to use a level select cheat to get to the end of the game. This port doesnt have the side kicks interacting with you in the actual gameplay, theyre just in the cut scenes, and the chick turns into the final boss. This could have been a better game, but no could make that version.

Oh yeah my favorites are
Zelda OoT
Banjo Kazooie
Mario Kart
DOOM 64
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon
Shadowman is shamefully under rated
Starfox

IMO the N64 controller separates the men from the boys.

I notice people who were good with a N64 controller went on to newer generations with more precise skills and better aim in FPS and what not.

I mean let's face it if you were pawning your friend in Goldeneye all day then it's probably because your friend doesn''t know how to use a N64 controller.

I remember playing it the year it came out in 1996. Between the 3D and 1st analog stick on a console it separated the boys from the men. Either you learned how to master Mario's moves quickly and went on to progress as I did and collected all 120 stars. Or if you suck with the controller you probably had a steep learning curve before you weren't constantly walking into walls.

I was decent with the controller then when it was new, but now its an awkward unresponsive mess. I really wanna play my n64 collection but sheesh these controllers blow.

I wish I can use my Saturn 3d pad on it

Is the stick worn out? That's the only flaw I have with the controller-the sticks wear out quickly. However, those sticks are TIGHT in the control department.

Play F-Zero X then play F-Zero GX on the GameCube. The control handling is almost night and day. In X you can make hard turns by cranking the stick but to pull off that same turn requires the shoulder trigger in GX. It's not a huge deal to most but it was a awakening for me who logged a LOT of hours on the N64.

Otherwise, it was a forward thinking controller. Designed for 3D graphic gaming with the digital throwback made it a great controller except if you liked fighting games.

Well yes the stick was worn out. But still the layout was kinda weird. I remember being able to play duke nukem zero hour with no problem when I was younger. Its very difficult to play now. Ehh oh well.

Numerous mentions of Mario Kart as one of the best games on the Nintendo 64 but only ONE of Diddy Kong Racing and simply as an "honorable mention"?

What's that smell?

Something is fishy here...

...do you guys even play videogames?
