All N64 Games #144: NFL Quarterback Club 99

Tuesday, 13 Aug 2024

While this is another American football game, I was pleasantly surprised about this one. I still don’t fully understand (or like) the sport, but I managed to have some fun with this.

All N64 Games #143: Knife Edge: Nose Gunner

Tuesday, 13 Aug 2024

Knife Edge: Nose Gunner (or just “Knife Edge” in Europe) is a lightgun shooter game that doesn’t come with a lightgun – the N64 itself never had a lightgun, either.

All N64 Games #142: Wipeout 64

Tuesday, 13 Aug 2024

It’s always a shame when you know a game is good quality but you just can’t seem to gel with it. I enjoyed playing F-Zero X for the first time, even though I played F-Zero GX first, so I was hoping the same would be true with Wipeout 64, as I had played Wipeout 2048 on Vita. Sadly, I really could not get the hang of this game at all.

All N64 Games #141: NBA Live 99

Tuesday, 13 Aug 2024

As EA’s first basketball game on the N64, this isn’t the disaster that FIFA 64 was, but it also doesn’t come close to FIFA 98, resulting in a game that’s just passable.

Tuesday, 13 Aug 2024

ODT was an action game that released on PlayStation and PC. An N64 version was in development, but was cancelled. N64 gave a little blurb saying that it was due to Psygnosis having financial issues

There isn’t a lot to say about this wrestling game, it’s WCW/nWo World Tour again, this time sped up a little bit.

All N64 Games #138: Detective Club 64

Monday, 12 Aug 2024

While the name may sound similar to Famicom Detective Club, this isn’t related to it in any way. This is a virtual board game from Imagineer, themed around kids solving a mystery in a spooky mansion.

All N64 Games #137: Space Station Silicon Valley

Monday, 12 Aug 2024

Space Station Silicon Valley is a mission-based puzzle platformer where you reanimate the corpses of dead animals (don’t worry, they’re all robots). It was developed by DMA design and is an immense amount of fun.

All N64 Games #136: Centre Court Tennis

Monday, 12 Aug 2024

The first tennis game on N64, and one that never came out in America. It’s a fairly simple tennis game, but is unfortunately plagued with control issues.

All N64 Games #135: NHL 99

Monday, 12 Aug 2024

While we got plenty of versions of EA’s other sports on N64, but for hockey, this was the only one. EA’s NHL games on the Mega Drive were quite legendary, but for N64 it’s just another ice hockey game.

Monday, 12 Aug 2024

Body Harvest was originally going to be a large collaboration between DMA Design and Nintendo, but Nintendo ended up pulling out, leaving DMA to work it all out on their own.

All N64 Games #132: Madden NFL 99

Monday, 12 Aug 2024

A yearly update of a sports title I didn’t really understand. One of the biggest changes is that this version of Madden has the official NFL license and teams in the game, and has also had a bit of a graphical update.

All N64 Games #131: NFL Blitz

Monday, 12 Aug 2024

Another American Football game, but this is a much more arcade style instead of the very slow tactical game of the previous games.

All N64 Games #129: Gex 64: Enter the Gecko

Monday, 12 Aug 2024

Gex is a series of platformers that started out in 2D on the 3DO before moving over to the PlayStation with Gex 2 in 3D (which was then ported to the N64). While the series is seen as an alright platformer, it’s mainly known for its humour. So how well does the humour hold up?

All N64 Games #126: Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls

Monday, 12 Aug 2024

Iggy’s Reckin’ Balls is a very hideous game. It’s not that it’s low quality, there’s just something ugly about the entire design from it, from the design of the ball characters, the platforms of the world, the dirty-looking water and the blurry background.

All N64 Games #125: Pokémon Stadium Zero

Monday, 12 Aug 2024

Pokémon Stadium Zero? No, that’s not the official name of the game, but I thought calling it that was the easiest way to differentiate from the Pokémon Stadium the rest of the world knows. The first Pokémon Stadium was exclusive to Japan, so when Pokémon Stadium 2 was localised, it became Pokémon Stadium.
