How did Nintendo get away with it?
Collectathons and WWE games are all a kid needed to be distracted for months at a time, its harder to make a convincing grand adventure without a huge budget nowadays, the only recent AAA collectathon i can think of is the batman games, and wrestling games are dead, don't listen to the fire pro retards that game is worse than atari wrestling games.
Americans ate it up for some reason
it flopped everywhere else on the planet
That's because everyone wanted to copy SM64
It was the king of arcade racing.

If you liked wacky racing and didn't own an N64 you missed out.

I'd trade all of those for sega rally or r4 without a second thought
>no good fighting games
Tom & Jerry Fists Of Furry
add AeroGauge to that list
Missed a few:
>Top Gear Overdrive
>World Driver Championship
>Top Gear Rally
>Beetle Adventure Racing
>Carmageddon 64
Nah. F-Zero X is better and GX shits over any racing game ever made. It's literally racing perfected.
Perfectly shit, yes
>no good fighting games
There weren't a lot, but "no" is an overstatement. Flying Dragon is fun as fuck.
>Mortal Kombat Trilogy
>Resident Evil 2
>Yoshi's Story it's good actually play it instead of parroting

2 points and the rest are lies.
you posted this yesterday, everyone point and laugh at OP.
Rare, CAPCOM, and Zelda.
Google the word "almost."
I dunno I feel like Resident Evil 2 kinda blows most other horror games at that time out of the water.
Silent hill is better
It's when collectathons were good though. Banjo Kazooie is what made me want the system and between it and Twooie alone I had over 100 hours as a kid just screwing around.
>Lots of different racing games
Not just carts and carts, we had some great snowboard games (snoboarding kids 2 was my favorite)
>Lots of just weird games
It's not good, but Space Station Silicon Valley was another huge time sink for me because you could be all these different animals.
Paper Mario was a great rpg, Quest 64 isn't as bad as people say- especially knowing the time crunches they got fucked with.
Mischief Makers remains the best 2d platformer on the system and one of my favorite games.
Killer Instincts Gold
Kirby 64
Doom 64
Turok 2
Go commit toaster in bathtub.
Fuck no it isn't. It has a better story and atmosphere, but the gameplay and design are weaker in every way.
Re1 is also better
That it is. I actually think RE1 is the best RE game overall and one of the best games of its generation. Little rough around the edges because of it being Capcom's first 3D game but the pacing is what makes it great. Just the right amount of backtracking, action and puzzle solving.
nah kid the only racing games that can compare to f-zero are actual racing sims
Was Killer Instinct Gold actually good? The SNES game gets a lot of praise but there are mixed views on Gold.
They kinda didnt, in many countries Sony dominated the market and it stayed that way. It was just that exotic thing that you see in big shops and look at with curiosity but then you go home and turn on your play station.
Gold is good. I'm assuming the mixed reception is mostly down to the disappointment of it being a watered down port when it was an early next gen title for a system that was delayed for a year.
>no good fighting games
Fighters Destiny and Mace The Dark Ages was the shit fuck you
It's a western fighter. Rare was showing off how many genres they could do by doing as many as they can at as mixed a quality as possible.
Killer Instinct 2 is a good game
Killer Instinct "Gold" is not
Biofreaks was you know uh... sorta there for the most part
