All N64 Games #191: Vigilante 8
I remember having a lot of fun with the sequel to Vigilante 8, Second Offence, but never played the first.

All N64 Games #190: Snowboard Kids 2
Some sequels try to reinvent the wheel, others try to make improvements on the original while some, like Snowboard Kids 2, just provide more of the same.

All N64 Games #189: WCW Nitro
This wrestling game feels like it’s trying to be more of an arcade style fighter than a wrestling game.

All N64 Games #188: Harvest Moon 64
The biggest problem with Harvest Moon 64 is that Stardew Valley now exists. Everything that Harvest Moon 64 does, Stardew has done it better.

All N64 Games #187: Legend of the Flying Dragon
In their review of the PAL version of Flying Dragon, N64 Magazine said that the game had squandered potential. The thing is, by the time the PAL version came out, Japan already had the sequel, and it seems to be the game the N64 was wanting.

All N64 Games #186: Parlor Pro 64: Pachinko Simulation
I’m not sure what it is about developers of Pachinko games, but none of them seem to quite know what humans look like.

All N64 Games #185: Castlevania
In 1997, the PlayStation got Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. It got great reviews and is now considered to be an amazing game. However, it didn’t sell well. Unfortunately, this era of consoles looked down poorly on 2D games.

All N64 Games #184: Super Smash Bros.
Considering it’s humble beginnings, I don’t think Nintendo ever expected Super Smash Bros. to be such an important part of its line-up of games on future consoles.

All N64 Games #183: J.League Tactics Soccer
J.League Tactics Soccer is a Japanese-only football management game. So a ton of text, figures and sitting and watching.

All N64 Games #182: Vivid Dolls
A game running on Seta’s N64-based Aleck 64 arcade cabinet, this is something that Nintendo probably wouldn’t have allowed on the N64 itself – a porn game.

All N64 Games #181: BattleTanx
In the future year of 2001, a virus will ravage the Earth and have a 98% death rate amongst “females”. The governments of the world tried to create “quarantine zones” to protect the “females”.

All N64 Games #180: Japan Pro Wrestling: Toukon Road 2: Next Generation
An update to the previous Japanese-only wrestling game. This seems to have more features and the presentation is even nicer.

All N64 Games #179: Big Mountain 2000
1080° is built from quality stuff, Snowboard Kids is a lot of fun and Twisted Edge is dodgy, but has a few almost neat ideas. Big Mountain 2000, however, is just completely bland.

All N64 Games #178: Chameleon Twist 2
The first Chameleon Twist was a game with interesting but fiddly moves that weren’t used to their full potential, so I was hoping that the sequel would fix these issues.

All N64 Games #177: Resort King 64
Resort King 64 is a digital board game that is heavily based on one of the worst board games of all time: Monopoly.

All N64 Games #176: Goemon’s Great Adventure
While this was called “Mystical Ninja 2 Starring Goemon”, I’ll be sticking with the US name of “Goemon’s Great Adventure” as it’s very different from the first game

All N64 Games #175: South Park
When it comes to replaying old games, the worst ones to get through aren’t the bad games, but rather those that are just immensely boring, and unfortunately South Park is one of the most boring games I’ve ever played

All N64 Games #174: Mario Party
The start of one of Mario’s most successful – and most plentiful in terms of games – spin-offs. Mario Party is a board game combined with a large amount of minigames. The first one is the simplest, but sometimes simple can be best.

All N64 Games #173: AI Shoghi 3
The AI Shogi series had yearly releases from 1996 to 1998, each one being on a different platform: the 3DO, PlayStation and then N64.

All N64 Games #172: Virtual Pool 64
Virtual Pool 64 doesn’t have a fancy title because is isn’t anything fancy. Instead, it focuses on recreating the game of pool as well as possible.
