All N64 Games #320: Vigilante 8: Second Offence

This was one of my multiplayer favourites as a kid, although playing it again now, and I remember this having more stuff than it actually does.

All N64 Games #318: Virtual Pro Wrestling 2: Royal Road Succession

If you’re a fan of AKI’s wrestling game on the N64 and don’t mind the lack of famous Western wrestlers, then Virtual Pro Wrestling 2 is something very much worth checking out.

All N64 Games #317: Goemon Mononoke Sugoruku

There’s no good way to translate “Goemon Mononoke Sugoruku”. Mononoke are a kind of vengeful spirit, but can also be a term for a shapeshifting creature, while Sugoruku refers to one of two board games, in this case a very simple roll and move board game.

All N64 Games #316: Robopon 64

Robopon (short for Robot Ponkottsu, essentially “Robot Trash”) is a game that was very much inspired by Pokémon, launching on the Game Boy Color with Sun and Star versions, followed up by a Moon version.

All N64 Games #315: Penny Racers 2: Chaotic Grand Prix

The second game on the N64 that is based on the Japanese Choro Q toy cars. This one never made it out of Japan, which is a shame

All N64 Games #314: Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling

Brunswick Circuit Pro Bowling is possibly the most sterile game I’ve ever played.

All N64 Games #313: Monopoly

Monopoly is an atrocious board game. I’ve played many, many board games, and none are as horrible as Monopoly is. Most of the game is just autopilot – roll dice, move, do the obvious action (buy property/pay rent).

All N64 Games #312: Viewpoint 2064

For starters, I do like how they used “2064” to mark this as an N64 name, it feels much more natural like that. I didn’t even notice what the game was doing with the name to start with.

All N64 Games #311: Mario Party 2

I’m really not the best person to talk about Mario Party. I really personally dislike the board game parts of it, especially the roll and move aspect. That said, I can clearly see that Mario Party 2 is much improved from the first game in many areas.

All N64 Games #310: Bassmasters 2000

Looking at other reviews of the fishing game Bassmasters, it got a few high scores, but then IGN gave it a 3.1. Quickly reading a few of them, I think I know why: IGN had played In-Fisherman Bass Hunter 64, while the others haven’t.

All N64 Games #309: Roadsters

Roadsters is very much a refined sequel to Automobili Lamborghini. You can tell it’s built upon the same game engine, and many elements feel incredibly similar – including the very odd mix of realistic and arcade elements.

All N64 Games #308: Asteroids Hyper 64

Considering that the original Asteroids just consisted of a simple black background with a white outline, it’s a very impressive feat that the N64 version of the game manages to look worse.

All N64 Games #307: Doshin the Giant

The second 64DD launch title was Doshin the Giant, a game that got a bit more attention when the GameCube version came out.

All N64 Games #306: Mario Artist Paint Studio

As this is the first 64DD game, I’ll talk a little bit about the device itself. It was an add-on to the N64 which would have provided a slot for a new kind of media.

All N64 Games #305: Worms Armageddon

The PC version of Worms Armageddon is a game that Team17 have never been able to live up to. Many Worms games have come and gone since, yet Armageddon still lives on

All N64 Games #304: Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M.

When Starship Troopers became a big hit, Acclaim wanted to cash in on its success. Instead of trying to work out a licensing deal, they looked at their comic catalogue and realised one of them was a sci-fi marine comic.

All N64 Games #303: Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness

Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness is a bit of an odd game. It’s sort of a new game, but also isn’t.

All N64 Games #302: Custom Robo

Every now and then, a game I would have never expected to like will surprise me, making me very glad that I’m doing these playthroughs.

All N64 Games #301: Xena: Warrior Princess: The Talisman of Fate

In 1999, two Xena games were released. The PlayStation got a hack-n-slash adventure, while the N64 got a fighting game.
