    Played OoT for the first time this year, on original hardware. The breadth of storytelling and game play diversity is incredible
  • @ravidass1720
    DK64 is underrated: had free-for-all multiplayer, go kart racing, massive maps, fun story, great boss battles !
  • WWF NO MERCY or WCW Revenge. Fans still believe no wrestling game has touched that level of gameplay and it still holds up today
  • @Coldsilfur4
    Diddy Kong Racing with Adventure Mode and different vehicles (plane, hovercraft etc.) is missing. ;/
  • @MrCanto79
    FINALLY! Paper Mario deserves this kind of love
  • @askapk
    The fact rogue squadron was on this list and Mario Kart 64 wasn't is a crying shame.
  • @TIDbitRETRO
    For all the guff people give the N64, it has ARGUABLY the greatest Mario game, Zelda game, Mario Party game , Paper Mario game, WWF game, and Star Fox game of all time in it’s library. That’s pretty impressive.
  • 10:48 "For starters it was Nintendo's first Mario game that was ONLY single player". Super Mario Bros. 2 "Hey, what am I? A red-headed stepchild?"
  • @stephen240
    How could Mario Kart and Golden Eye not be in the top 10? Both were revolutionary games for their time!
  • @epicstark990
    At a time when wrestling dominated TV ratings and PPV sales- the N64 had the greatest wrestling titles. Many flocked to Nintendo 64 just to be able to have some of the best wrestling gameplay experiences. It deserves some recognition….
  • @SD-ct7hd
    The fact that Goldeneye 007 was left off this list leaves me reeling. I’m fine with the top two, but Goldeneye was absolutely number 3, if not number 2.
  • @YDINO69
    All that and the entire library is like 4.05GB
  • @87Tempests
    Without goldeneye, this supposed list is irrelevant
  • Solid list. All amazing games. 10. Conkers bad fur Day 9. Zelda Marjoras mask 8. Banjo Tooie 7. Super smash bros 6. Mario Kart 64 5. Banjo Kazooie 4. Star fox 64 3. Zelda Ocarina of Time 2. Super Mario 64 1. DK64 Runners up are def Goldeneye, Kirby 64, Mario party 2, Jet force Gemini, paper mario, Tony Hawk 2 and Pokemon snap. Happy gaming!
  • @terrorbyte2642
    A Nintendo 64 top ten without Goldeneye? Yeah, you clearly weren’t there for it
  • Legend of Zelda Ocarina is not just the best N64 game but the best video game of all time so far.
  • Glad to see Waverace64 made the list. The universe is satisfied.
