Ah, the Nintendo 64. The weirdest controllers of any system at the time (maybe ever?), a library that featured mostly official Nintendo titles as the top gems, and the console that my parents bought me on my birthday to help soften the blow of their divorce. Yup.
There is no one on the fence about the N64 - You either love it or hate it, but there is no denying that it was inventive, creative, and hosted a lot of great experiences that would stand the test of time. All I really even need to mention is "GoldenEye" or "Smash Bros.," but the list is honestly quite a bit longer than that.
There was a time not too long ago that it seemed like emulation would never be able to de-mystify the way this machine ran. But today? We're thankfully able to run most games with only minor issues and we're seeing incredibly crisp graphics that were never possible on original hardware and TVs. Improvements are steaduly happening all the time, showing how gorgeous these games can truly be!
Special items included: Unreleased titles, prototypes, English-patched translations, and titles not in English that are easy enough to play without being fluent in another language.
Items removed: Non-working dumps, duplicates, prototypes or demos of games that eventually saw a full release, homebrew titles outside the console's lifespan, games that require proficiency in another language to play, and hacks.
