Wave Race 64 (which originally came out on the Nintendo 64) is one of the games hitting the Wii U Virtual Console this week, in Europe. It’s the US version (runs at 60Hz).
Star Wars Rogue Squadron. That’s the list. You can all go home. I’m just kidding, of course. The N64 had a lot of unforgettable titles throughout its run.
Quest 64, while simple and short, would certainly fit on this list. So would a few others.
Lol Mario Kart 64. That's the perfect example of nostalgia blinding people from seeing how badly a game has aged. Great at the time, but the controls are abysmal now. People ripped on Double Dash at the time, but it aged much better. Unfortunately for people my age N64 is so attached to their childhood that any criticism of any game is taken like an insult to their family honor or something.
I guess to each their own. But I still think Mario Kart 64 is good all these years later.
I still enjoy playing N64 games, the only ones that truly haven't aged well are the FPS games : Goldeneye and Perfect Dark. Although the Turok games have aged well as it uses a better control scheme (move with C buttons, aim with control stick)
Wave Race 64 is absolutely fantastic. Racing games are my jam, but I remember this game being really tough because the rough weather and strong waves were pushing my jet ski around slamming me into obstacles haha. I wish I had an N64 so I could replay it.
Duke Nukem 64 and Doom 64. Also the recently english translation of Shiren 2 looks and plays great
Kandagawa Jet Girls has some fun gameplay elements here and there that actually evolve the genre, but it's nothing like Wave Race.
I second this, Fantastic game made by an amazing indie studio, runs like butter too smooth as.
Riptide GP2 and GP Renegade are amazing games, also offer 4 player split-screen (6 player on Xbox One)
Made by the same team that made Hydro Thunder Hurricane.

same here... broke my leg when i was 12 racing motocross. I was down for a while, and my dad bought me the N64 and wave race... I played the shit out of it for quite a while.. good times.
This is a classic game not played for a while may have to grab it but seriously Nintendo start putting some VC games on the 3DS it's a long time until the End of Feb when Pokemon comes out and there's been nothing in the form of classics for weeks.
