Even with out Rare, 20 good games could be coming to the Nintendo 64 Classic

https://venturebeat.com/2018/01/03/the-retrobeat-are-there-enough-games-for-a-nintendo-64-classic-edition/amp/

 

I was not around in the ‘90s, and as such, I was surprised that there were this many good first party games Nintendo made. And there is only one third party game on this list. I think.

I feel like they would put Mario Party 2 and 3 cause 1 had a hand problem thing. Hope they fix the joysticks when they do launch it.

The NES and SNES also had lots of "party games" which still are awesome. There is a reason why China is creating SNES controller clones, with a USB connector on it.

 

(not sure if they are from china, but they do feel like they are mass produced there)

Kb5zue But that’s more for the Atari Flashback, unless they made a 3D version.

Yeah. They have games. But honestly, without the RARE titles, not even the least bit interested.

On one hand, this list feels like it cements just how bad the landscape was for games by the time the N64 was done.

 

On the other hand, a lot of the system's great titles were licensed. GoldenEye, Turok, some of the Star Wars games; there's legal issues that have to be overcome.

Without Rare, particularly Goldeneye, the N64 classic won't have the same nostalgic pull for many the SNES and NES classic did. Still a solid selection of games, and not a bad buy for anyone who hasn't hung on to their N64, or is too young to have had one at the time. Though how many people with an interest in Nintendo doesn't already own Ocarina of Time in some form yet?

With no Conker I'd have no interest whatsoever in an N64 Classic, especially since I already have better versions of OOT, Majora's Mask, and Starfox 64 on my 3DS.
