I'm going to fucking kill you.
cartridges ruined what would otherwise be an amazing console
One of the greatest local multi-player consoles of our time
>>385467324
It's shit. Controller sucked. Graphics sucked because of the AA and other post processing it did. Nowadays you can disable them with a $300 mod
Comfy
This is better

Nintendo's third worst home console, but has a few very good games

Doom 64 is pretty goddamn great
You want the truth?
O/v/errated by casuals.
Underrrated by /v/.
-------------------------------------------------
Controller: You need Hori Mini Pads (picrelated) or a Steelstick modded controller. You also need the OG for games that use the D-Pad because some are brilliant.
-------------------------------------------------
Hardware: you NEED the expansion pack. Some games have hi-res modes that need it and others utilize it to improve performance in other ways.
You also want a few memory cards and a rumble pack. Rumble was new here and it is needed for the full experience.
CRT. Not a PVM/BVM as N64s AA looks bad on them. Not a flatscreen. Trinitron would be ideal.
Everdrive 64 if you want to go all in. Great for playing games you couldn't w/o spending a lot.
-------------------------------------------------
Note: Stay away from shooters unless you have already learned how to use Turok controls, and use those if you can.
-------------------------------------------------
Reccomended games:
• Mischief Makers
• Bakuretsu Muteki Bangaioh
• Doshin the Giant
• Mario Party 3 / 2
• Ogre Battle 64
• WWF: No Mercy
• Blast Corps
• Harvest Moon
• Fuurai no Shiren 2 [Mystery Dungeon]
• Pokémon Puzzle League
• Dōbutsu no Mori+ (どうぶつの森+) [Animal Crossing]
• Custom Robo
• Mario Golf / Tennis
• Ocarina of Time / Majora's Mask
• Super Mario 64 / Kart
• Super Smash Bros.
-------------------------------------------------
I wasn't too keen on the N64 for a long time, but I like retro gaming and I decided to give it a real shot with controllers that worked and I was surprised by how many great games were on the system.
Casuals screech about some games that just aren't very good and /v/ contrarians eat it up and act like the system is pure shit because of it.
The truth is it's pretty damn good. Most consoles pre-2000 are. Just don't try and emulate N64 unless you're looking for a shitty time.
Dammit I posted all of that too late

This.
Also, if you don't have the money for a SteelStick or don't want to wait to long on the waiting list... buy the Kitsch Bent set of Sticks/bowel and gears, it will look like a new one, you may need to sand a little bit some areas, but they are great.
Also, Paper Mario, Banjo-Kazooie, Pokémon Snap and Waverace should be on the list.

Well I found it useful anon
>>385469432
Forgot Paper Mario, definitely deserves to be on there.

There was one game on the system. One. An all-time great game, for sure, but one game
>Smash
Don't care never cared. Despite how loud they are this game appeals to an extremely narrow set
>Goldeneye
Lol, fucking Quake was out.
>>385467324
A console that is talked about positively everywhere due to having what 3 good games? Its pure nostalgia.
Worst 5th gen console
Overrated.

>Try to emulate ogre battle, mischief makers or blast corps
>They all emulate like shit
