They had great single player as well. Now everything is meant to be played through a head set and short single player campaigns. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great system overall but IMO no argument that it was the very best--would need several greatest of all-time games, which it does not have. The OP is about very best, though, which is why I say it's an lol no for me (dawg). Top-5? I'd say yeah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But beyond games, you also have to factor in the impact it had on the future of gaming, and that gives it some extra points IMO. It laid the foundation for all future FPSs, showed how epic in scale adventure games could be, and set the standard for 3D platformers. Not to mention the wrestling games on 64 have arguably never been topped. Edited June 11, 2021 by 43M 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
biggie. Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 The key problem with the N64 is the awful controller. It is not comfortable to use at all imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelda: Ocarina of Time. THAT game was worth the price of the entire system alone. Not to mention Mario 64 in the same category. When OOT came out it was the greatest game I had ever played. It was the first true open world game that was a pioneer for role playing video games on a console. That being said, it does not hold up well when you go back and play it. It laid the groundwork but many open world rpgs are superior games at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MKnight82 Posted June 11, 2021 Share Posted June 11, 2021 (edited) My first console was the NES. It’s a great simple console that non gamers like my dad could sit and play. Zelda 2, Link holds up really well to this day. SNES was a great console but generally left behind casual gamers, but through this it brought games with more depth. The original Mariocart is probably in my top 3 in hours spent on a game all time (the other 2 are PC games). The early final fantasy games were SNES, and Zelda on snes is top notch. N64 was a game changer with 3D. Mario 64 is imo the best Mario game of all time and still holds up today if you play it. Goldeneye basically created multiplayer gaming and reinvented how you play video games. GameCube was my last Nintendo console but was largely a disappointment. I do credit GameCube for introducing me to madden franchise mode and Resident Evil 4, which imo is a top 5 video game all time. In the early console wars I went with Xbox over PS and have remained with Xbox ever since. The best Xbox imo was 360, although One was solid. The original Xbox had some great games but a clunky controller. Edited June 11, 2021 by MKnight82 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally one of my top 3 favorite games ever made was Socom 2 for the PS2. I garatuntee if I go back and try to play that right now after playing 10 years of COD on the PS4 that Socom would look unplayable. There is something to be said about replay ability years later but how the game was at the time it was made should be held in higher regard.

Definitely better than the Genesis and original XBox controllers. I feel like I was too young to really care at that point. The controller looking back was horrendous, BUT (correct me if Im wrong) was a pioneer controller at the same time. The underside 'Z' button that was used as the trigger control for nearly all of the shooters made for it was a first. I believe that button inspired the L2 and R2 triggers on the ps2. I actually think I read that somewhere on IGN or something. Edited June 11, 2021 by AkronsWitness 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s the greatest game of all time it has to hold up. I mean it’s the best game ever it has to be held to the highest standard. OOT, great game, historically relevant, not the greatest of all time cause it doesn’t hold up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjfja_fkdldjs Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Wait, people better not be trashing the duke controllers? That was my controller, even at like 10 lol. Even when the newer smaller one came out, I preferred the old ones lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
