Nintendo consoles are whatever, to be honest but here you go
Must try, if you haven't yet:
Space Station Silicon Valley
Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon (the one with the Peach Mountain gang)
Kirby 64 Crystal Shards
NFL Blitz
Mischief Makers
The Pod Racing game
Perfect Dark (the frame rate is notoriously shite on this title, but still worth playing)
Mario Tennis
Star Fox 64
Banjo-Kazooie/Banjo-Tooie
Pilotwings 64 (I think this was one of the OG titles when the 64 came out, too)
Not bad but I wouldn't necessarily recommend to everyone
Donkey Kong 64 - it's kind of unnecessarily long
F-Zero X - if you're really into racing games...there are actually lot of them that are pretty decent on this platform
Smash Bros - Classic game, but it's not really THAT great if you're just jamming single player.
Yoshi's Story - cool "vibes" game but repetitive. Shortish game, though
Paper Mario - Like a strictly worse Super Mario RPG (SNES)
Mario Golf - meh...
Jet Force Gemini - Too long, but not a bad title. There just isn't any pay off, the storyline is shallow, and it's not like I'm expecting every title to be Zelda: OOT/MM...I almost want to say avoid this game.
Clay-Fighters - kind of a meme classic, just throwing this out there *GUMBALL*
Mario Kart was OK, I thought the SNES version was better, and the later iterations of this game on the Gamecube etc were far superior. Diddy Kong was the better title in this gen, IMO.
Don't be tempted by (these games just all kind of suck):
Castlevania 64 - quickly falls off a cliff, hard
Quest 64 - too long, boring
Mario Party 1 - the titles after this are superior in every way
Mega Man 64 - autism-coded
The South Park game
Any shooter (just awful controls on this system)
Pokemon Stadium games - may as well play a mobile game, it's 2026 wtf?
Pretty much any Super Hero game on the platform
