Let's say you, for whatever reason, sold your Nintendo 64 collection at one point but then you decided you wanted it back. If you were starting over with the N64 library there are tons of no-brainer games everyone would collect. Mario 64, Zelda Smash Bros, and Goldeneye, these are all games I think most people would want to collect. So if we grant that these games would be in most people's collections, what next-tier of games would I recommend people to check out? Let's take a look!

Honorable Mention:
Wave Race 64
AKI-Engine WCW games

Wave Race 64 really was an incredible title, with great physics, an over-the-top announcer, and great gameplay. This is one that you really need to play and experience.

I love wrestling games, and the Aki-Engine WCW games were so much fun. First of all you had some of the best wrestling rosters of all time with the nWo, 4-Horsemen, and other classic wrestlers. These are games that definitely should be on your radar.

Yoshi's Story
Yes, I know that I dig at Jay from ‪@SquarePegs‬ about Yoshi's Story because he hates the title music so much but this is legitimately a terrific game! It's something that gamers of practically any skill level can pick up and play and enjoy. Yes, it's focused at a younger audience but it's simply great fun. If you can get past the title music I think you'd really love this title.

Diddy Kong Racing
Where Mario 64 is the Kart racer just about everyone picks up, I would argue that Diddy Kong Racing is the superior kart racer on the platform. It has better music, better tracks, and I think is a lot more fun. Where I think Diddy Kong Racing loses out is the lack of memorable characters in the game, and that's where Mario Kart 64 has an edge. This is a title I'd love to see brought back!

Star Wars: Rogue Squadron
Rogue Squadron was the first game I played that made me feel like I was playing parts of the movies. The Hoth level, my goodness the Hoth level was so good! The John Williams score was also here in amazing detail, even if it wasn't on a CD-ROM. This is another franchise we need brought back to current-generation hardware.
