DIDDY KONG RACING! I'm guessing this was inspired by Mario Kart. Diddy Kong Racing was the first racing game I played, and I have a dear friend to thank for introducing me to it. The one player mode played more like an adventure with boss challenges than the generic race to the finish line for the world cup, and the race tracks with their secret short cuts were amazing. You also had more options to race in than just a cart as evident by the cover. Like Mario Kart, it also had a versus mode where you could blow each other up that I spent a lot of time on too. I always played as Diddy Kong. I like his style.
TOP FIVE COMING UP NEXT!

I don't think it's any secret by now that I'm a huge wrestling fan. And the N64 was the place to be back in the day if you wanted the best of them. World Tour, Revenge, WrestleMania 2000, No Mercy, they were the best wrestling games had to offer and are still highly regarded as the best toady. World Tour had a hard fought battle against Revenge for this spot, but won out in the end for a few reasons. It may not have had the biggest roster of the two, but it had a lot of high profile stars like Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair, Sting, Kevin Nash, Scot Hall, and so on and so forth. Four arenas that felt like their own unique federations. More modes to choose from. Wrestlers who were worth unlocking like DDP and "Macho Man" Randy Savage. And the music. The background music is one of the best, if not the best I have ever heard in a wrestling game. For an example go here. That was my favorite song on the track and it wouldn't be uncommon for me to restart a match until that played. That guitar rift still gives me goosebumps. I wouldn't let the match end until I heard it.
I have played 2 of these games so far

Jinx and Freya can put down their torches. Pokemon Snap was the first major game that brought Pokemon from 8 bit to 64 bit and made us trout ourselves. This also had a hard fought battle with Pokemon Stadium, but the more I thought about it, the more I realized Pokemon Stadium is just Pokemon without any of the RPG elements. Pokemon Snap had its own gameplay we haven't seen before and was very clever in the things you'd have to do to get the best pictures possible. Who can forget Charizard popping out of the volcano in stage three and breathing fire into the air? Or the final stage all dedicated to Mew? Blockbuster even allowed us to make stickers of the pictures we took in Pokemon Snap so I got to wear the Mew picture I took in the game. Good times. Remember Blockbuster? I didn't think so. You kids and your Netflix.
OH MY GOD THERE'S ONLY THREE GAMES LEFT!
Pokemon Snap is that awesome game that shouldn't be awesome when you hear it described but it says, "smurf description, I'm Pokemon Snap bitches!"
Why isn't Pokemon Snap #1?
Why isn't Pokemon Snap all of the top 11?
Because you touch yourself at night.

Super Smash Bros is to Nintendo, what The Expendables are to action movie fans of the 1980s. That's Mario and Link in the same game. That's Mario and Link fighting each other in the same game! OMG that's Star Fox and Samus! OMG Pikachu! Kirby! Ness! Donkey Kong! OMG! I MUST BUY THIS GAME!
The multiplayer was awesome fun with stages based on each character's video game, and the first player challenge mode was also enjoyable. Remember fighting Mario's glove at the end there? What? It was Mario's glove. Just look at it. This game was also my introduction to Samus, Star Fox, Ness, Kirby, and Captain Falcon. I told you I lived a sheltered life. Most of my friends didn't talk about video games much. Anyway, this game earns its spot in the top five easily.
TWO LEFT!
Why isn't Smash Bros. #1?
Why isn't... never mind.
I'm curious to see what ends up as the top 2. I really haven't played that many N64 games in my life. I really want to see Star Fox on this list, but I wouldn't be surprised if Goldeneye and Perfect Dark make it up there. I feel like those are some of the most popular of the N64.
Pokemon snap is da bomb
Never cared for the Smash series. The first was interesting as a curiosity but nothing more for me.
This is where I mention that I hope Pilotwings and Blast Corps are the next two so I can be thoroughly disappointed in some way.
If #1 and #2 aren't Perfect Dark and Conker's Bad Fur Day, you have failed me.

After Asmik Ace and AKI stopped making WCW games they started making WWF games. No Mercy was the game that finally fixed the problems with the AI. In the older games the computer could fight to a no contest with no time limit because the game could only go up to 60 minutes. It wasn't uncommon to perform your finisher two or three different times only to get a two count. Here the computer is just more rounded and damage is calculated normally so you usually get the three count the first time you reach your special unless the difficulty's been spiked. The Character Creation from WrestleMania 2000 carries over, and we get a Create a PPV mode and a Special Guest Referee mode. As well as a steel cage match. The game also has a story mode that takes different paths depending on whether or not you win or lose giving it some replay value, and then you can challenge for the title in exhibition.
Where's that smoke coming from? Why are you guys holding pitch forks?
No Mercy was a pretty good game actually. The Story Mode was set during the McMahon-Helmsley Era and as a lifelong fan of Triple H and Stephanie, this pleased me greatly.
It's been so long though that I mainly remember only two things:
1. Steph will screw you over in some way.
2. The APA will demand protection money.
Obviously number one is going to be Quest 64.
True beauty exists in things that last only for a moment.
Current Mood: And it's been a long December and there's reason to believe. Maybe this year will be better than the last. I can't remember all the times I tried to tell myself. To hold on to these moments as they pass...
