Goemon's Great Adventure / Mystical Ninja 2. One of the best 2D platformers in the universe. Including couch co-op. Oh my god I'm gonna play this game right now.

Both Goemon games were amazing. Mystical Ninja 64 is one of my favourite games of all time.

Space Station Silicon Valley. Very unique gameplay and it was rewarding figuring out which animal to use to progress. Framerate dipped a lot but it didn't hinder my enjoyment much.
 
Chameleon Twist is pretty great. I rented it a bunch back in the day.

Mickey Speedway USA is probably my favorite non Mario Kart/Crash Team Racing kart racer from that particular console generation. Pretty decent amount of single-player content too, especially compared to Mario Kart 64. I think there was even more content that could be unlocked if you exchanged data with the GBC version.

Oh man, i forgot about that game. Man that game was fun. Though it loses some points for the constant chatter between the characters.

I really want to play those games, goemon on snes was my shit. Too bad it seems like it's never coming out on virtual console :-(

Their prices have gotten out of hand lately. I got both of them for $30 last year.

Releases were so slow and deliberate on N64 it feels like every new one got a chance in the spotlight.

You're better off trying to grab a N64 and the games lol

Konami doesn't even bother with Goemon to make pachislot machines any more, much less actually re-releasing the games.

I hope we can get them on the Virtual Console down the line. I´d love to play them, but they are quite expensive now....and I don´t want to bother with 240p composit ever again D:

Jet Force Gemini. Rare's last N64 game, I think. Third person, sci-fi shooter with great graphics and music. Never finished it because of an annoying fetch-quest but I really enjoyed the gritty atmosphere back then.

THISSSSSS. Man, we all loved the first Goemon 64 (Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon) so, so much. One of the coolest soundtracks of that gen and still one of my all-time faves :)

I came here for this. And it was the first reply. That was a success.

This game is good, but the godly soundtrack makes it amazing.


Edit: Also Body Harvest and Silicon Valley. This thread delivered already.
 
Mischief Makers is a classic to me. Hilarious villains, unique mechanics, and some of the best voice acting for that era all made the game great.

The final boss might be one of the best final bosses of all time.

Thanos acquires the fully powered Infinity Gauntlet in The Avengers: Infinity War, but loses when all the superheroes team up together to stop him.

A great fighter that had two modes. One was more traditional, while the other had SD characters and RPG elements to it.

Som have already been quoted, but here some :

Spider-Man
Mischief Makers
World Driving Championship
Space Station Sillicon Valley
Armorines : Project Swarm
Fighters Destiny
 
Man, don't get me started on the soundtrack. I could hear Impact's theme for days.

All of N64 GAF has played and likes this game, it's also one of Treasures best selling games. Why does it still feel like one of those games nobody has played though?
It's probably because it was never made into a series. Who owns the IP anyways, Nintendo or Treasure?

I don't care what reviewers said. This game blew my 14 year old mind.
I'll just leave this here

Not sure what count as underrated but my list is the following:
Mischief Makers, Doom 64, Blast Corps, Wetrix, Top Gear Rally, Castlevania Legacy of Darkness, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon.

Should be Enix.
Nintendo was just the distributor outside Japan.

I am on my phone and not all of the pictures load, so sorry if this was already mentioned.

Considering the fact, that we had a ton of great games for our N64, I played way too much Wetrix! The game was really fun. I know there is a PC version too, because I played that one way too much as well.
