Banjo-Kazooie – Nintendo 64

In the 1990s, a Nintendo 64 game developed by Rare was as good as gold. Having established themselves as power-houses in the game developing world, Rare would put out some of the best titles, not only for their company, but on the platform. One game that helped cement their status was Banjo-Kazooie.

Mario Kart 8: Round Table Discussion

Nerdberry and The Cubist share their thoughts in a discussion on the upcoming Mario Kart 8 and the Mario Kart series in general.

Monster Truck Madness 64 – N64

What an embarrassing game this is for Rockstar Games. For those of you who have been into gaming for a while, you probably remember Rockstar for the Grand Theft Auto series, Bully, Red Dead Redemption, and more. You probably don’t remember when they made Monster Truck Madness 64. And good for you.

F-Zero X – N64

Is it just me or is this game (and the original) pretty much a forgotten game? F-Zero X doesn’t really pop up in people’s heads when they think about the Nintendo 64 and isn’t really included in its legacy, although it should be. Let’s talk about why this game should be REMEMBERED!

Rush 2 – N64

Rush 2, the sequel to San Francisco Rush, offers up incredible racing action and a gnarly stunt track!

Cruis’n USA – N64

Cruis’n USA has to be one of the most popular arcade racing games of all time. If not the most popular of all time, definitely in the mid to late ’90s. With all of that being said, you’d think I would have been happy and pleased with Cruis’n USA and the ability to now play it at home without having to pump quarter after quarter into it, right? Unfortunately no! Actually, HELL NO!

Dr. Mario 64 – N64

Following the great success of the NES’s Dr. Mario, Nintendo saw a way to bring the pill-pushing Italian plumber-turned-doctor to the new powerful 64 bit processing home console known as… THE NINTENDO 64! What could make Dr. Mario 64 better than the original installment?

GameBooster

NerdBacon cofounder NerdBerry reviews the horrendous unlicensed Game Boy to N64 converter known as the GameBlunder. We mean, GameBooster.

BattleTanx Global Assault – N64

I remember thinking highly of BattleTanx Global Assault when I first played it at my friend’s house. We didn’t do anything in the campaign mode, instead we played multiplayer and destroyed each other over and over again! That was fun then… and it’s still fun now!

Bomberman 64 – N64

Ohhhhh man Mr. Bomberman… This game was the shiz back in the early ’90s! It had some great multiplayer action! It didn’t stop with the SNES release though! Bomberman 64 is very different in look, style, gameplay, and single player. But what remains the same is the multiplayer madness and chaos of the “BATTLE” mode! Except this time… it’s in 3D! WHOA! Mindbottling.

Mario Party 3 – N64

If you’ve read my reviews on the original game and its sequel, you know that the steep drop in enjoyability left me less than enthusiastic about revisiting Mario Party 3 for a closer look. If you haven’t read them, I’d suggest doing so as I’m reviewing all 11 titles for comparison and contrast. As it turns out, I like this game just a little bit more than Mario Party 2, but for the most part I think it simply tones down the annoyances of the previous game without adding anything substantially unique or amounting to much more than an expansion pack. In fact one of the major additions, Game Guy, proved so unpopular that it would never be seen again.
