In my opinion, the N64 had a pretty small list of hits anyways. This is a great selection. ๐Ÿ‘

388 games listed there ร— 64 MBs per GamePak: ~24,8 GB. The actual size of the library is smaller, around 16 GB.

But one of those was WCW vs nWo: World Tour and that was all that mattered.

@setsneedtofeed solid, only missing Wave Race and 1080 for a full set of 'essentials'. ๐Ÿ˜Š

[โ€“] Alexstarfire@lemmy.world 7 points 3 months ago (3 children)

Either of those over Super Smash Bros is definitely a choice.

[โ€“] zorrobandito@aus.social 7 points 3 months ago

@Alexstarfire ha! Definitely not a big SSB fan but criticism is on point and entirely fair.

[โ€“] can@sh.itjust.works 6 points 3 months ago

That would be my next pick too. Maybe throw in Kart and a Party.

Personally, I skip SSB64 entirely and go directly to the best Smash version on the GameCube. SSB64 on the N64 is fun, but it isn't Melee.

Majora's Mask too, I think.

Every collection needs the hidden gem Blast Corps

Quality over quantity. Well done.ย

It does hurt my heart a little to see a grey cart Ocarina of Time knowing it is so likely to be a version 1.2 game, meaning it was censored. I just can't stand the Fire Temple music in 1.2, the chanting samples really elevate that BGM.

Also, I would highly recommend picking up Gauntlet Legends if you can. Excellent 4 player arcade hack-n-slash game. Although most of this collection seems to tell the tale that you likely don't have other players often, so maybe not... The game is okay single player but way more fun with friends.

I had no idea there were changes made to the grey OoT! My friend had that one but I never played it much at his house.

There were a very small number of grey carts with 1.0 on them but most 1.0 carts at least in America are gold. Most grey carts are 1.2, but some have 1.1 as well. 1.1 is a general bugfixed version but also rare, while 1.2 is where all the censorship came in. Unfortunately for Europeans, all PAL versions are based on the censored 1.2 build. Due to this, grey carts are generally safe to assume are 1.2, because it is the most abundantly available build of the game, having been manufactured and sold the longest.

There are some reports of 1.1 having partial censorship as well, though these may be due to someone swapping the physical carts shell from a different version of the game.

Ah, Goldeneye. Temple level, grenade launchers, 5 min play.

[โ€“] Xanthobilly@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Quality bangers. Nice.

More than enough for endlessly replayable fun.

Did you 3D print the holder yourself?

[โ€“] setsneedtofeed@lemmy.world 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Sadly no, I took the expedient route and exchanged money for it.

Small collections are valid, games are meant to be played and loved <3

[โ€“] webkitten@piefed.social 2 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

Going to Toys R Us and bringing the paper slip for Goldeneye, bringing it to the checkout, and waiting for them to get the game was the best experience.
