Any love for the N64? (coeus.sbs)

I don't see many posts here about the N64 and it doesn't look like there is an N64 community on lemmy.world It's the console I have the most nostalgia for and I have over 130 games in my collection. I'm currently playing a ROM hack called SM64: Beyond the Cursed Mirror. It has some pretty challenging platforming but it is fun.

Love/hate relationship for me - much preferred earlier 2d versions of platformers like Mario, Donkey Kong and others (Mario 64 makes me nauseous). On the other hand, N64 games I do like - like GoldenEye (mostly for multiplayer), Mario Kart 64 (same) and Star Wars Episode 1 Racer all have a special place for me. So I guess overall I'm not a huge fan, not nearly as much as the NES, SNES, Game Boy, and later, the Wii, but the system does have some really good picks for me, just not the platformers I love.

Overall Nintendo is my favourite, but for that generation, at least the PlayStation still had a decent selection of 2D and 2.5D games.

If any one game made and still makes me nauseous its definitely golden eye...

Goemon's Great Adventure on the N64 is like one of the best platformers of all time. At least in my opinion.

I'll have to check that one out, thank you.
