@@voltcorp The Dreamcast listing puts it much higher, so yeah, that seems to be what they were going for. It's not just the game being reviewed, it's the port. Hence why Gex 2 is so ludicrously low, despite it being a decent game overall. EDIT: 20:04 Yeah, he literally says it's "apparently another really bad port". Getting mad your favorite game is low in the list when it's a shitty port is absurd. There are tons of games on older systems that got trash ports. Doesn't mean the game is bad, but when I'm looking for good *N64* games, I'm not interested in shit ports I can play better on other systems.
It seems like they're just judging old 3D games by modern aesthetics. Like sure, it looks crappy now, but some of these games like Turok 2 were awesome at the time. That was a friday night party favourite. There's no way Turok 2 is worse than Turok 1 or Bomberman 64.
Idk man, Bomberman 64 is pretty awesome. I played the multiplayer a ton back in the day and I still enjoy it to this day. I like the story mode too. Bomberman 64 is super unique, not like any other Bomberman game. I'd personally put it in my top 5 games for the system.@@emospider-man6498

Body harvest at 270??? That game had a great, creative concept and was kind of a predecessor of GTA. It had flaws, especially that the levels were huge and you were not able to save within a level, so if you game over you have to do the whole level again. but I really loved it for so many reasons, one of which was the cool concept which was kind of like starship troopers and the many vehicles you could use. This wasn't as usual back then as it is know.
Yes people love to beat upon Body Harvest but i agree with you. The graphics were ropey and it was a little glitchy, yet the gameplay was actually extremely thought inducing due to it's open levels and many vehicles. It was a game which made me think excessively about the future of videogames in general, every time i turned off my N64. Just in the same way GTA 3 did a few years later. It was the 1st game which gave true 3D jumping from vehicle to vehicle or even to aeroplane. It deserves more recognition.
I know right, what a travesty. Random cash grabs? Outdated Sport Games? Yeah, better than Body Harvest, a flawed but ambitious video game with innovative features 🙄 👎
The bit about "it’s not even the developer’s fault that it sucks" on the Superman 64 section -- sorry, it's not your fault, but I have to call this out every time I see it. This fabricated lie has been repeated so often (including here) it's now accepted as fact and has rewritten this game's lore. The source of this lie is from Eric Caen, of Titus Interactive, who gave a magazine interview some years ago where he claimed the reason Superman 64 was such a pile of dogshit was *not* because Titus definitely were woefully incompetent developers, way out of their depth and with a long history of making the most appalling videogames based on licences to double up on their investments. No, sir. When put on the spot he instead dismissed it as someone else's fault: Warner's! Despite the fact Titus spent over TWO YEARS developing this absolute turd. The worst part of the very same interview was Caen claiming that Superman 64 made him "a lot of money", so at the end of the day it was a "success", in his eyes. Consumers be damned, and this is how retrospective PR can work. Say it with me, people: Superman 64 sucks, because the now bankrupt Titus Interactive, sucked. The end.
Frankly, given WBs track record over the years, I believe him, especially when you take into account the vastly superior PS1 version they were unable to publish, which actually did seem to improve on many of the originals problems. Yes, they had two years to work on it, but when you have to keep redoing work constantly because WB vetoes it and sends you back to the drawing board, that's a lot of wasted time they had no control over. Could be you're right, and he's just covering his ass, but this totally sounds like something WB would do.
@@Onslaught524 There's bound to be a pinch of truth in both sides of the argument of course. At the end of the day it's excuses. A professional developer handles publisher issues and gets on with the work. The fact Titus didn't include any of the elements WB were supposedly insisting upon, doesn't reflect well on Caen, even if he wasn't a notorious liar. Superman 64 is the product of a team totally out of their depth, or just not trying. Sounds exactly like a Titus game to me.
You haven't disproven anything, you're just saying it's a lie without backing it up. Shifting blame, especially to shitbags like WB is not uncommon, but it doesn't make him a liar. He has a more reliable source (himself) than you do (yourself).
This list is so busted that I don't know whether to give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down so I'll just leave a comment and a fave until I figure out what it deserves.
KI Gold had tight and crisp controls, and a training mode to help players master the moves. It also didn’t artificially level its playing field, the way a game ranked way higher (NBA Hangtime, made by Midway’s cranks) did.
@@Sharkie68 KI Gold got a lot of hate back when it came out. People wanted to play KI 2 at home and instead got a mid port with dull washed out backgrounds. Considering what people thought the N64 could do it was a disappointment at the time. Then you had the anti-2D and "fighting games are boring and played out" bias from the media as well.
They just used a randomizer and then made a long video to get a bunch of ad revenue off everyone sticking around to see (what the heck could they rank higher than fill in the blank) and if they put your fave super low you will comment and it will boost their algorithm standing.......they farmed everyone for money and it worked
Banjo Tooie 114th place?? Really? REALLY?? Its in my top 5 games still to this day. Its a masterpiece and even better that Banjo Kazooie. They must have been drunk...
I am far to be the biggest fan of MM, but I agree it was a drunken decision not to rank it among the top 10. Apparently, it's a lesser game than DK64 lmao
F-Zero X should be WAY higher than 54th or whatever it was. Play it today, it holds up amazingly well. 60 frames per second with 30 racers, procedurally generated tracks meaning it is literally infinite, it's a stone cold classic. On that note, totally agree with WWF No Mercy being so high, it's amazing, shame about the glitch that wipes your save. If you were alive in the 90s, No Mercy really was the perfect game at the perfect time. Top 10 was pretty good in this list. My weird random game growing up was Forsaken. I honestly think it should be lower than 150 or whatever it was. The game itself was okay, but no save data, 10 minutes of adverts at startup, and a shit story should lower it. I do love the character names though. Gauntlet is really fun if you're playing with friends.
Yeah you can half tell there's a three week deadline on this to say the least. Ranking games is, of course, subjective, but must admit there's some truly insane placements in this, as in a surprising amount are around 80-100 places out from where the general consensus would be.
You CANT do this list subjectively, unless you played ALL the games, and no one has done that, (or at least not long enough each game to have a real solid opinion on all) SO you have to do your homework on the internet, read reviews, see scores, playtroughs, to do it right
Personally I watch these lists to get commentary on each entry. Skipping through entries just doesn't feel right, specially because the N64 had so few games, and even the jankiest of duds are a treasure trove of nostalgia for many. I know that would have made the list like 4 hours long, but I would have gladly sat through every single minute. I hope an extended cut of the list comes out some time.
I call bs on WWF WrestleMania 2000 being so far down and under WWF Warzone, WWF Attitude, and WCW vs. nWo World Tour... They didn't play these games at all.
As great as Goldeneye was with a superior campaign, I still vote for Perfect Dark because of its pvp and co-op. I worked third shift night audit at a hotel in Phoenix back in 2001, and the security guard and me logged a thousand hours finishing all 30 co-op challenges, and he smashed his controller when I skunked him 10-0 in the one-hit pistol kills pvp, scoring the tenth point with a bareknuckle smack to the head. Man, I miss those nights.
Probably the greatest overlooked game of all time. Revolutionized so much. Way more than GoldenEye. Counter operative was a wild concept. Only ever heard of it so to a friend recommendation.
wcw revenge being as low as 77 is criminal.... top 10 easy and waaaay better than no mercy which was built on it. wcw revenge is to no mercy what goldeneye is to perfect dark - the original
The fact that there were two other N64 games deemed worse then Superman 64 makes this list completely invalid. Superman 64 is complete trash and nothing will ever be worse then that.
I'm going to call out shenanigans on the Turok 1 controls. There was no dual analog sticks when it released so no one would have known better. PS1 DS didn't come out till 8/97 Turok came out in 2/97. I also remember the first time I played any first person shooters with dual analog it felt odd since I was so used to Turok and Goldeneye using left stick to aim and the right c's to move and strife.
Goemon's Great Adventure, Banjo Tooie and Rayman 2 being lower than Quest 64... I'm at a loss for words. Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon is awesome so it's great to see it's relatively high placement, though. Also Conker is still fun, I played it relatively recently. The only chapter I have problems with is Spooky, it is not very fun but the idea is cool. Chameleon Twist is legitimately underrated and I think it's better than it's sequel but they are both fun. This list is ALL over the place.
Quest64 deserves props for its battle mechanics, encouraging players to be more proactive. By this grace alone, it deserves a spot among the top 100. Better ranked than any of the games you quoted is highly questionable, though.
@@Polemodrome I honestly need to give quest 64 another try, I've seen a lot of good defenses for it lately and I only played it once as a rental as a kid, so I definitely wasn't the best judge.
@@tornekotaloon9732 Perhaps the biggest criticism you can oppose Q64 is how dull and linear the world mapping can be. At any rate, we can safely agree that Ogre Battle 64 is superior.
This list was clearly made by people that didn’t grow up with a 64. There’s some solid games buried toward the bottom under some absolute drivel. If you’re gonna make an ambitious list like this, at least have enough knowledge and experience to pull it off. It looks like you hit shuffle and then dragged and dropped games you recognized.
Fun Fact: Goin Quackers has a serious technical issue where the music plays completely incorrectly, with lots of midi errors, corrupted instrument samples and more. The game is actually a port of the Dreamcast/PC version (that actually has some great, underrated music!), but has a few original songs that to this day are not as audible as they should be. The game's TCRF article explains a lot of the music errors. It's crazy!
it feels like all of the hard working journalists at hard drive are being held hostage and are forced to write articles & make shitty youtube videos about video games
Rush 2 is one of the most unique and fun racing games I have ever played. If they made a new one today I would definitely run out to get it. The shortcuts were unique and you could do tricks with cars.
As an Englishman, the narrator on this video did my head in He's English enough to drop every single 't', and yet pronounces words like 'Mario' and 'Process' the Yankee way, as well as saying "zee" for "zed"
The fact that you put WWF 2000 below WWF War Zone (and in the bottom half of the list) shows how much you know about wrestling games. 🙃 Its literally WWF No Mercy minus a few options and moves. No one with a functioning brain would say its one of the worst N64 games. Although I think that this list was kind of randomly thrown together...
Ya know… that game was way better than most kart racers due to having a narrative and plot not to mention tons of variety in gameplay. I loved the overworld aspect was fun to explore. Kind of wish it got a proper sequel
Yeah! Also I love how skill-based it is. No random items! You get the exact item you choose, and you can choose to hang onto it and try to upgrade it too. Lotta opportunity for strategizing your power-up routing against tough bosses. Also the silver coin races are amazing, forcing you to take every alternate route on a stage in one race. @@tenkenroo
There are some on here that were really low and shouldn't be. Such as Turok 2 at 205. Turok 2's multiplayer was amazing. Shooting people with the cerebral bore was one of the N64's greatest experiences.
The best thing about Hard Drive doing a list like this is that if there's a game placement you don't agree with, you can just say it's satire and doesn't count.
Absolutely schizophrenic takes in this. “This game is the worst thing we’ve ever played. Utter tripe. It’s like an invented background game. We ranked it above classics that have received HD remasters, but below yearly sports titles you’ve never heard of.”

Yes, they had two years to work on it, but when you have to keep redoing work constantly because WB vetoes it and sends you back to the drawing board, that's a lot of wasted time they had no control over. Could be you're right, and he's just covering his ass, but this totally sounds like something WB would do.
@@Onslaught524 There's bound to be a pinch of truth in both sides of the argument of course. At the end of the day it's excuses. A professional developer handles publisher issues and gets on with the work. The fact Titus didn't include any of the elements WB were supposedly insisting upon, doesn't reflect well on Caen, even if he wasn't a notorious liar. Superman 64 is the product of a team totally out of their depth, or just not trying. Sounds exactly like a Titus game to me.
You haven't disproven anything, you're just saying it's a lie without backing it up.
Shifting blame, especially to shitbags like WB is not uncommon, but it doesn't make him a liar. He has a more reliable source (himself) than you do (yourself).
Wheel of Fortune being anywhere but dead last is too damn high for that travesty of a cartridge.
This list is so busted that I don't know whether to give it a thumbs up or a thumbs down so I'll just leave a comment and a fave until I figure out what it deserves.
Whoever is responsible for this list should be excommunicated from gaming forever.
F-Zero X at #54, Mario Kart 64 at #44, with many shitty games ranked higher - what a troll list.
This list is some serious name-from-a-hat insanity.
Y'all are insane not having Banjo Tooie even in the top 100. Entertaining as always though
Banjo Tooie > Banjo Kazooie. Don't @ me.
@@greenlandpatriot i adore both games, but it seems like Tooie became "cool to hate" at some point and I don't appreciate it
@@salsamonkey65 Dragon Kazooie was everything I needed in life. Tooie was top and the haters can drown in it.
@cobratate about this one, as described in the video.
With DK64 at #4 lmao
Who made this list? Haven't even made it past 200 and it's already insane. Hercules over Killer Instinct? That calls for execution.
algorithm boosting comment because this shit is wild and more people need to see this pinnacle of gaming achievement and peak journalism
I'm very shocked KI Gold was very low in this ranking. One of the fav fighting game for the N64.
KI Gold had tight and crisp controls, and a training mode to help players master the moves. It also didn’t artificially level its playing field, the way a game ranked way higher (NBA Hangtime, made by Midway’s cranks) did.
Out of all the wild takes, this one shocked me the most. This cannot be in the 50 worst N64 games.
@@Sharkie68 KI Gold got a lot of hate back when it came out. People wanted to play KI 2 at home and instead got a mid port with dull washed out backgrounds. Considering what people thought the N64 could do it was a disappointment at the time. Then you had the anti-2D and "fighting games are boring and played out" bias from the media as well.
@@NotaPizzaGRLYea but the game itself was great there's no way there's 241 N64 games better
Also Clayfighter. Several absolute trash fighting games were above KI and CF.
You've clearly randomized most of the list. If I didn't know better, I'd say this was a great video
I really appreciate you telling me 90% of my N64 library is junk.
They just used a randomizer and then made a long video to get a bunch of ad revenue off everyone sticking around to see (what the heck could they rank higher than fill in the blank) and if they put your fave super low you will comment and it will boost their algorithm standing.......they farmed everyone for money and it worked
The moment I saw Hey, You Pikachu ranked that high on the list, I immediately realized this is actually a really bad worst to best ranking!
i cant believe i spent an hour watching a list, in which i disagree with every single ranking
Love the video, but bloody hell, who on your editorial team was like “ah yeh, Jeopardy. Put that above Tony Hawk 2”
Cruisin' USA was #247?!! Holy fuck, the N64 library was packed with nothing but godly games apparently!
F-Zero X in the 50s. My head is shaking.
Banjo Tooie 114th place?? Really? REALLY?? Its in my top 5 games still to this day. Its a masterpiece and even better that Banjo Kazooie. They must have been drunk...
This is just a bad list, sadly. The perfect example of quantity over quality.
I’m a Tooie hater and even I think putting it 114 is absolutely egregious lol
Holy shit, why is Hey You Pikachu so high? Don't the voice contols barely function?
It’s Pokémon but yeah worst one on N64
There’s nothing wrong with Turok’s controls. It’s actually the preferred style for speed running goldeneye and perfect dark.
Majora's Mask fans never recovered after their tragic loss to Wave Racer 64
You have to be kidding me
I am far to be the biggest fan of MM, but I agree it was a drunken decision not to rank it among the top 10. Apparently, it's a lesser game than DK64 lmao
Ain't no way Majora is only at #17
I refuse to believe there’s a living human being who thinks WWF Warzone is a better game than Wrestlemania 2000. That ranking is laughable. LOL
That's what I said! WM 2000 was better than Attitude and War Zone both
I almost prefer WM2000 over No Mercy, less slowdown in four player battle royal (which was all we played) and full intros
wcw revenge was better
F-Zero X should be WAY higher than 54th or whatever it was. Play it today, it holds up amazingly well. 60 frames per second with 30 racers, procedurally generated tracks meaning it is literally infinite, it's a stone cold classic. On that note, totally agree with WWF No Mercy being so high, it's amazing, shame about the glitch that wipes your save. If you were alive in the 90s, No Mercy really was the perfect game at the perfect time.
Top 10 was pretty good in this list.
My weird random game growing up was Forsaken. I honestly think it should be lower than 150 or whatever it was. The game itself was okay, but no save data, 10 minutes of adverts at startup, and a shit story should lower it. I do love the character names though. Gauntlet is really fun if you're playing with friends.
Mario Kart 64 at number 44? What are you doing?
Yeah you can half tell there's a three week deadline on this to say the least. Ranking games is, of course, subjective, but must admit there's some truly insane placements in this, as in a surprising amount are around 80-100 places out from where the general consensus would be.
You CANT do this list subjectively, unless you played ALL the games, and no one has done that, (or at least not long enough each game to have a real solid opinion on all) SO you have to do your homework on the internet, read reviews, see scores, playtroughs, to do it right
@@enriquedossantos3283Which clearly hasn't been done.
Im 10 minutes and we already have at least 3 instant classic fudj one-liners lmao cant wait
Shadow of the empire at 245 is freaking nuts no way at all
Hey You Pikachu above Rayman and Banjo Tooie is a crime
Yes. I'm hoping this list is just an absolute troll. No way anyone in their right mind could make this list seriously.
This is the list of someone who didn't actually grow up with the system and has never actually played the games for themselves.
mf says his boss made him make the video.
Zelda Ocarina of Time is always #1 in my book.
Ya for me that’s the n64 game given the most effort. Majoras mask is also pretty great
I like majora mask at 1 than ocarina of.time.
Majora's Mask is leagues better
Donkey Kong over no mercy ?!! That’s wild
elmo's number journey severely underrated
Personally I watch these lists to get commentary on each entry. Skipping through entries just doesn't feel right, specially because the N64 had so few games, and even the jankiest of duds are a treasure trove of nostalgia for many. I know that would have made the list like 4 hours long, but I would have gladly sat through every single minute. I hope an extended cut of the list comes out some time.
this guy is so lazy man, this is useless
I call bs on WWF WrestleMania 2000 being so far down and under WWF Warzone, WWF Attitude, and WCW vs. nWo World Tour... They didn't play these games at all.
Imagine being a game ranked lower than the Namco Library - a cartridge that's just older games.
I wanna know what kind of sick human being puts Killer Instict this low in the list but lists motherfucking DARK RIFT this high.
As great as Goldeneye was with a superior campaign, I still vote for Perfect Dark because of its pvp and co-op. I worked third shift night audit at a hotel in Phoenix back in 2001, and the security guard and me logged a thousand hours finishing all 30 co-op challenges, and he smashed his controller when I skunked him 10-0 in the one-hit pistol kills pvp, scoring the tenth point with a bareknuckle smack to the head. Man, I miss those nights.
Perfect Dark is objectively superior to Goldeneye
Probably the greatest overlooked game of all time. Revolutionized so much. Way more than GoldenEye. Counter operative was a wild concept. Only ever heard of it so to a friend recommendation.
Tony hawk should not be that low
In what world is BassMasters 2000 better then Banjo Tooie? Hard to take this list seriously.
There ain’t no way A Bugs Life is better than Banjo Tooie 💀
😂😂😂
Hey you, Pikachu above Mario Kart?! Where y'all high?!
Was this list intended to be a troll? If so, bravo!
Shocked at Tony Hawk 1 being listed in bottom 100
Beetle adventure racing, better than Mario Kart 64?!
Yessir.
I owned both. Mario Kart is better by a long way.
You guys were having a laugh when making this list. Haha troll worthy. Well done on triggering many.
Jet force Gemini, Rayman 2...wayyyy too low...
wcw revenge being as low as 77 is criminal.... top 10 easy and waaaay better than no mercy which was built on it. wcw revenge is to no mercy what goldeneye is to perfect dark - the original
No Mercy is the better game quite easily. I get that nostalgia blinds though. Had all the AKI games as a kid and loved them all
Listening to Fudj talk about N64 games I had forgotten about is a good way to spend my afternoon, I think.
The fact that there were two other N64 games deemed worse then Superman 64 makes this list completely invalid. Superman 64 is complete trash and nothing will ever be worse then that.
Wait, the system is called the Nintendo 64 but has over 200 games? This doesn't make any sense.
It’s called the Nintendo 64 not because there are only 64 games, but because there were only 64 consoles made. Happy to help!
@@sorrywrongjoe thanks
@@sorrywrongjoe I thought its because it came out in 1964?
@@MaMastoast
Nope, all of you are wrong, the name obviously is a reference of the famous George Orwell book "1964".
@@MaMastoastMy wife actually thought this was the case, I couldn't believe it lol
The fact that Majoras mask isn’t top 10 is worth going to fisticuffs over.
Amazing video, thanks for making this. 😂
I'm going to call out shenanigans on the Turok 1 controls. There was no dual analog sticks when it released so no one would have known better. PS1 DS didn't come out till 8/97 Turok came out in 2/97. I also remember the first time I played any first person shooters with dual analog it felt odd since I was so used to Turok and Goldeneye using left stick to aim and the right c's to move and strife.
you wrote down this list after get drunk but thx for bring back the memories
Goemon's Great Adventure, Banjo Tooie and Rayman 2 being lower than Quest 64... I'm at a loss for words. Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon is awesome so it's great to see it's relatively high placement, though.
Also Conker is still fun, I played it relatively recently. The only chapter I have problems with is Spooky, it is not very fun but the idea is cool.
Chameleon Twist is legitimately underrated and I think it's better than it's sequel but they are both fun.
This list is ALL over the place.
Quest64 deserves props for its battle mechanics, encouraging players to be more proactive. By this grace alone, it deserves a spot among the top 100. Better ranked than any of the games you quoted is highly questionable, though.
@@Polemodrome I honestly need to give quest 64 another try, I've seen a lot of good defenses for it lately and I only played it once as a rental as a kid, so I definitely wasn't the best judge.
@@tornekotaloon9732
Perhaps the biggest criticism you can oppose Q64 is how dull and linear the world mapping can be. At any rate, we can safely agree that Ogre Battle 64 is superior.
This list was clearly made by people that didn’t grow up with a 64. There’s some solid games buried toward the bottom under some absolute drivel. If you’re gonna make an ambitious list like this, at least have enough knowledge and experience to pull it off. It looks like you hit shuffle and then dragged and dropped games you recognized.
Tony Hawk in the 230s is sicko behavior.
A travesty
Hey You! Pikachu above Rayman 2, Banjo Tooie, Mischief Makers, and Mario Kart I mean what are we doing here, really.
Fun Fact: Goin Quackers has a serious technical issue where the music plays completely incorrectly, with lots of midi errors, corrupted instrument samples and more.
The game is actually a port of the Dreamcast/PC version (that actually has some great, underrated music!), but has a few original songs that to this day are not as audible as they should be.
The game's TCRF article explains a lot of the music errors. It's crazy!
Just did some research, fans are working on a repair patch that should even be released this year.
Nice!
@@Tomato-ThunderHas it been released yet?
@@Bubba__Sawyer Not yet. But there is a post on GBATemp by user Louis Miles where you can follow the progress.
I got stuck in level 1 cuz the double jump stoppped working altogether.. returned my cartridge after that... 😂
Donkey Kong 64 higher than Paper Mario? You're high AF.
it feels like all of the hard working journalists at hard drive are being held hostage and are forced to write articles & make shitty youtube videos about video games
Weird that RUclips says you subbed a month ago then
@@HardDriveMag yeah sorry about that
Rush 2 is one of the most unique and fun racing games I have ever played. If they made a new one today I would definitely run out to get it. The shortcuts were unique and you could do tricks with cars.
Only Fudj has the ability to make me listen to a list of all 291 N64 games fr🗿🗿
Conker's Bad Fur Day getting robbed.
I don't know who Ken Griffey Jr is
He was in Simpsons I think.
He's the guy who hosted wheel of fortune
I only know him because of Homer At the Bat where he suffered Gigantism due to Mr. Burns' nerve tonic.
I think I have his Pokémon card around here somewhere...
He's coping so hard about rayman 2... Give him some rest
Alternate title: "How to Make the Worst Game Ratings List"
As an Englishman, the narrator on this video did my head in
He's English enough to drop every single 't', and yet pronounces words like 'Mario' and 'Process' the Yankee way, as well as saying "zee" for "zed"
The fact that you put WWF 2000 below WWF War Zone (and in the bottom half of the list) shows how much you know about wrestling games. 🙃 Its literally WWF No Mercy minus a few options and moves. No one with a functioning brain would say its one of the worst N64 games.
Although I think that this list was kind of randomly thrown together...
The writer should have their game journalism license revoked for some of these ranking positions
SO happy to see Diddy Kong Racing get the love it deserves
Ya know… that game was way better than most kart racers due to having a narrative and plot not to mention tons of variety in gameplay. I loved the overworld aspect was fun to explore. Kind of wish it got a proper sequel
Yeah! Also I love how skill-based it is. No random items! You get the exact item you choose, and you can choose to hang onto it and try to upgrade it too. Lotta opportunity for strategizing your power-up routing against tough bosses. Also the silver coin races are amazing, forcing you to take every alternate route on a stage in one race. @@tenkenroo
@@tenkenrooIt's such a shame it never became along running series. It was uniquely different from Mario Kart.
@@Bubba__SawyerRare definitely tried. Check out the cancelled Donkey Kong Racing and Diddy Kong Pilot.
There are some on here that were really low and shouldn't be. Such as Turok 2 at 205. Turok 2's multiplayer was amazing. Shooting people with the cerebral bore was one of the N64's greatest experiences.
The best thing about Hard Drive doing a list like this is that if there's a game placement you don't agree with, you can just say it's satire and doesn't count.
These kind of list videos isn’t easy to make but it’s nice to see someone trying to acknowledge the existence of all these games.
cant believe glover is first place, these guys are so brave and controversial
Absolutely schizophrenic takes in this. “This game is the worst thing we’ve ever played. Utter tripe. It’s like an invented background game. We ranked it above classics that have received HD remasters, but below yearly sports titles you’ve never heard of.”
