Let me join the crowd in shouting down Paper Mario -the game is a total snoozefest -easy and boring. Gotta have Rayman2 added to that list. Tremendous platformer that's definitely top 25.

My thoughts...
Banjo-Kazooie...............................Stay
Beetle Adventure Racing...............Stay
Blast Corps..................................Stay
Conker's Bad Fur Day...................Stay
Diddy Kong Racing........................Go. Extremely weak game, especially multi-player.
Excitebike................................Go. I didn't find it special or anything.
F-Zero X...................................Go. It got old quick.
James Bond 007: Goldeneye........Stay
Mario 64...................................Stay
Mario Golf..................................Stay
Mario Kart 64..............................Stay, but just barely
Mario Tennis................................Go. Got old quick.
Mystical Ninja 64..........................Go. Boring.
Paper Mario................................Stay
Perfect Dark............................Stay
Pokemon Stadium 2 ..................Go. Oh come on, how the hell did this get on here?
Rocket: Robot on Wheels...........Go. I just couldn't find any enjoyment in this.
Smash Bros............................Stay, even though it's pretty much unplayable now that we've been exposed to Melee.
Space Station Silicon Valley................. Stay
Star Wars: Rogue Squadron..............Go. Boring just like every other Star Wars Game.
Starfox64..................................Stay
Wave Race...............................Go. This game REALLY didn't age well.
WWF No Mercy........................Stay
Zelda: Mask of Majora................Stay
Zelda: Ocarina of Time................Stay
Wow, i've voted out nine of the twenty games! Well, here are by picks to replace them.
1. Pokemon Puzzle League. The best game for the system, without question. It one-ups Tetris Attack for the SNES in every way possible. For being addictive, playable, and enjoyable, you can't beat this game.
2. Tetrisphere. It's an outrage that this game hasn't been added.
3. Dr. Mario 64. The four player mode is good even if slightly too small.
4. Mischief Makers. Shake Shake. Shake Shake. YAAAAA! It's 2-D fun.
5. Pilotwings 64. Even though the frame rate is bad, it's just fun to fly around sometimes.
6. Castlevania. I don't get all the hate for this game. I really enjoyed it.
7. Mario Party 3. Very fun. Mario's Puzzle Party is worth the price alone.
8. Bomberman 64. Another really fun game, and I for one actually enjoy the multiplayer.
9. San Fransisco Rush. No explaination, it's just fun.
The list has some really sub-par games, and is missing the really big technical achievement games, that happen to be much more fun and involving than say Diddy Kong Racing.
-Banjo Kazooie should go.
-Diddy Kong Racing should definitely go.
-Conkers Bad Fur Day should leave too. Adult my ass, this is an adult game in the sense that, if I was 10 years old, this is what I would think adult was. Fart jokes and pissing on things...ha ha, hee hee...yawn. Another lame platformer for the N64 in the end. Find item, unlock door, defeat boss.
-F-Zero should leave. Good framerate. NO OPTIONS, just like the original. BORING.
-Space Station Silicon Valley...was this really better than Body Harvest?
-Mystical Ninja 64. This should leave. Give us a break already.
-Wave Race. A technical acheivment, but it really doesn't have much to it. Kinda boring really. bye bye to this one.
-WWF No Mercy. Take it away please. There are so many damn wrestling games that are so much the same, none should be on the list.
-Mario Tennis should leave the list too. I love Tennis, but come on, every single Mario game doesn't have to be on the list, likewise, every Mario game isn't good enough to be on this list. Nintendo wasn't the best publisher for the N64.
Ok, after much bitching and complaining on the above games that I think should disappear from this list, here are the ones I think should stay and are good selections:
-Blast Corps
-Beetle Adventure Racing
-Mario 64: The first N64 platformer. This makes it immune to the criticism of "ugghh, another 3-d platformer with horrendous controls?"
-Paper Mario
-Goldeneye
-Perfect Dark--The only technical achievment game on the list worthy of being here.
-Star Wars RS
-Starfox 64
-Zelda MM
-Zelda OoT
And now, here are my picks for games to be ADDED to this WEAK ASS LIST of games.(Did any of you actually give the N64 a chance?) ADD THESE GAMES:
-STARCRAFT 64. WTF? 512mb cart, containing the original PC game, including the Broodwar expansion if you have a N64 Expansion Pack. Hi-Res graphics show up beautifully on an HDTV. An awesome port of 2 PC games packed into a Cartridge, with head to head multiplay option. This version of SC stayed true to the gameplay of the PC in every aspect, and the N64 controller had enough buttons to handle the user interface just fine.
-RUSH 2049: I picked this Rush game because its easily the best one. The steering controls were dramatically improved over the original, the graphics were actually sharp and crisp this version, and the original music is worthy of a soundtrack CD. More shortcuts and jumps than the previous two games, and really just better overall track design. More stunt tracks, also it has 4 player Battle Mode, Twisted Metal style. Yet Diddy Kong I'm 6 years old Racing is still on the list.
OGRE BATTLE 64: YET ANOTHER 512 mb Cartridge not on the list! Why is this not on the list? I see so many people on these boards talk about Ogre Battle this, Tactics Ogre that, yet Ogre Battle 64 isn't on the best of list? A good mixture, and fairly original mix of RTS and RPG make this a standout in the weak library of Role Playing games on the N64. Actually, OG64 is the closest thing to an RPG on the machine, and its a damn good one at that. Oh I forgot, Banjo I just turned 3 Kazooie has to be on the list.
NUCLEAR STRIKE 64: The N64 was weak on action strategy games like this, and this version is better than its PS counterpart because it has no load times, plus it has Hi-Res mode for Expansion Pak owners. Straight up awesome sound fx puts you in the action. Only thing missing were the FMV sequences, but who cares, you skip those after the first viewing anyway. Alot more entertaining and action packed than Conkers Bad Game.
Thanks for listening.
No Donkey Kong 64???? What is up with that???? Did Mario Golf take its place??? > Blasphemy!!!
After getting Body Harvest today, I have to say that this one MUST be on the list. It looks awful, but it's undeniably a blast to play. No Mercy is a given, no questions there. It's the greatest wrestling engine ever concieved and regardless of your thoughts on the SPORT of pro wrestling, the game is a blast.
CRusin USA needs to be on there as well as JEt Force GEmini
What i need: SNES games and a few 32x!
I second Starcraft and Jet Force Gemini. Also how can people not want Mario Kart 64 on the list? I still play that with friends till this day. Drop diddy kong racing while were at it.
Body Harvest definetly needs to be on the list, do we need 2 Zelda games?
Tetrisphere was a great game it should be on the list
Tetrisphere was indeed a great game and deserves a spot.
Also, I say drop No Mercy for WrestleMania 2000. No Mercy might have played better, but WM2000 had the better create-a-wrestler, and stuff like create-a-belt and create-a-PPV. Good times!
I completed my NES collection (US)!

I played alot of N64 during my time since it's release and since my topic was locked, I'll just put it here because Joe and others were nice enough to point out that a thread was already created
These cartridges are dirty as hell and I'm not going to take it anymore!
I find the lack of either of the Banjo-Kazooie games in the top 25 disturbing.
Y helo thar.
I'd take out conker's or pokemon puzzle and add jet force gemini. That was always one my favorite 64 games. Other than that's a very good list.
Remove Excitebike. Put F-1 World Grand Prix in its place.
I'm pissed until Quest 64 is added to the top list.
no one has love for this epic game
though it was probably right behind Ogre Battle and Zelda as far as action/adventure/rpg greatness on the N64.

1. LoZ OoT

My Feedback
http://www.digitpress.com/forum/show....php?p=1439550
In March, I made a thread of the best and worst rated Nintendo 64 games:
Top 50 and Bottom 25 Nintendo 64 games list
Check it out!
Holy crap...
anyone who has not played WM2000 or WWF No Mercy have not played the best wrestling games ever.
Seriously. No wrestler on any system before or since has come close. Perfect controls. Straight up perfect. I spent SO many hours on WM2000 and this is from someone that doesn't follow the shows that much.
Really, just plain ol' fun.
I'll second a motion to keep Mario Tennis on the list, I found it way more come-back-to-playable over golf.
This is an old thread but wow. I'm shocked by some people's opinions.
-AB+
Holy crap. It's been a while.
According to review scores, those wrestling games are ranked #25 in the top 50 N64 games.
Mario Tennis is a fun game, but I enjoyed Mario Golf more. The N64 and GameCube games are fantastic. Supposedly, the GBC and GBA versions are great, too.
I hope after Wii MotionPlus comes out, Nintendo will make a Wii version!
Replace Mario kart 64 for Diddy Kong Racing
