When the games came out, I remember the old 4 screen multiplayer Mario Kart 64 days. Then soon after Goldeneye 007, which blew my mind.

Perfect Dark multiplayerwas sort if the precursor to a lot of online shooters. It was also the only one with bots which made it highly advanced for it’s time and allowed a lot of replayability.
Banjo-Kazooie was my favorite game of all time, though.
9 hoursI’ve still got one kicking around for a yearly get together with friends, where we play nothing but Mario Kart 64 the entire day.
Specifically battle mode on skyscraper.Modded with am HDMI out and original controllers with GameCube joysticks.

Three games at launch in the US. Mario 64, PilotWings 64, and WaveRace 64.
All bangers.

A new pilotwings would make me think hard about getting a Switch 2.
A new Custom Robo would 100% do it.

I still have one kicking around in case I feel like playing some Goldeneye.
I mean I could also play that in the cloud on the switch these days but nothing takes me back to times past than that crappy controller with the floppy broken thumbstick.
Also, a little video I stumbled upon yesterday for the people that have fond memories with Goldeneye: https://youtu.be/GaxI3Hef3U0?is=1pCCi_8UZOXCLdp3

Bitdoo just released a controller in crystal Blue as an hommage to this very console. It looks amazing
If we speak about next gen, Super Mario 64 was a real next generation. It was a magical moment. Today kids don’t have this kind of magic anymore.

The closest we got to true next-gen experience is perhaps progress in VR but it didn’t take off like 3D did.

Absolutely true. Playing Boneworks the first time was a really magical moment.

I played one once at a rich cousin’s house around release and I think once a few years later. I wouldn’t touch one again until 2012ish and that controller felt awful.
I didn’t grow up with the console but I absolutely adore it. It birthed some of my favorite games of all time. There’s something that feels so cozy about it. I know it’s been said to death but I feel like I can talk to another N64 fan and it’s almost guaranteed we played the same games

Pretty sure our first console qualifies me as an elder. 😉

We got to rent time on one of these that very summer in an arcade-like coffee shop (or something, I was young, I don’t remember) in NYC. Everything was in Japanese, but Mario was running around in an open world and it blew our minds.
I had a VHS tape that showed a trailer of Mario 64 lol it was amazing. I don’t even remember how I got it.

If you subscribed to Nintendo Power they sent it for free. You could also request it.
I remember getting Donkey Kong Country, Mario 64, Star Fox 64, and Diddy Kong Racing.

I’ve got one that showed Donkey Kong Country for the SNES. I think they sent them out if you had a Nintendo Power subscription.
