All N64 Games #72: Irritating Eclectic Stick
Do you know that kids toy where you move a stick around a metal wire and if you make contact with it it makes a buzzing sound? In Japan, they turned that into a game show, and that game show got multiple video games.

All N64 Games #71: AeroGauge
A futuristic racing game, on the same lines of Wipeout, F-Zero and Extreme-G. N64 gave AeroGauge an abysmal score of 10% so I was expecting something especially dreadful from it, but I kind of enjoyed it.

All N64 Games #70: Tamagotchi World
It sounds a lot like Mario Party, but before Mario Party – it’s even made by Hudson Soft.

All N64 Games #69: Nagano Winter Olympics ’98
The first Olympic title on the N64 – and, curiously, the last one on a Nintendo platform until Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games.

All N64 Games #68: Flying Dragon
A fighting game that feels like it was built with home consoles in mind. This features a more cartoon style than most and adds RPG elements into the mix in the form of items to equip and upgrade.

All N64 Games #67: Snowboard Kids
In the tutorial, Snowboard Kids makes it clear that this is a racing game without a brake button – it also lacks an acceleration button. Gravity does all the work, leaving you to focus on turning, items and tricks. It has a charming visual style and nice slopes to snowboard down.

All N64 Games #66: Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero
Traditional fighting games like Mortal Kombat aren’t platformers. In order to combine Mortal Kombat with a platformer, you’ll need to put in some serious work to bring out the strengths of both genres.

All N64 Games #65: Chameleon Twist
A regular chameleon sees the white rabbit from Alice in Wonderland jumping into a pot and decides to follow, turning into the big headed thing in the game. From there, you go through the levels, killing everything in your path.

All N64 Games #64: Dual Heroes
Dual Heroes is often stated as the worst fighting game on the N64, originally scoring 28% at N64 Magazine. However, Dual Heroes is quite fascinating as it has some really interesting features

All N64 Games #63: Wayne Gretzky’s 3D Hockey ’98
Yearly sports updates are tricky things to review, as some can bring big improvements, some minor improvements and some just update the stats.

All N64 Games #62: Wheel of Fortune
With a score of 17% from N64 magazine, I was expecting something truly atrocious from this. Yet, despite the wonky looking graphics, it does a good job at what it’s supposed to do.

All N64 Games #61: WCW vs. nWo: World Tour
It took a while for the N64 to get its first wrestling game, although it ended up getting a LOT after this one.

All N64 Games #60: Heiwa Pachinko World 64
Pachinko, from what I understand is a “totally not gambling” gambling machine popular in Japan. It seems to be a mixture of a pinball machine, 10p machine and a slot machine.

All N64 Games #59: Family Stadium 64
Yet another Japanese only baseball game, this time from Namco. This one, however, features a different style of batting and some other fun features – such as a Namco-themed stadium.

All N64 Games #58: Chopper Attack
Chopper Attack (or Wild Choppers) is a game that’s clearly inspired by the [Terrain] Strike series of games.

All N64 Games #57: Sumo 64
N64 Magazine gave this Japanese-only sumo wrestling a rather impressive 90%. Even so, I was surprised as to how much I actually enjoyed this.

All N64 Games #56: Automobili Lamborghini
Another car racing game, and this one is a mixed bag. It’s an arcade-style racer but everyone begins on the starting line

All N64 Games #55: Diddy Kong Racing
Pretty much all racing games on the N64 so far have the same problem: there’s not a lot of progression for a single player. Which is where Diddy Kong Racing comes in.

All N64 Games #54: Pro Mahjong Extreme 64
Another Mahjong game, and this one is the most basic one yet. There are a couple of main modes, either gambling or pro.
