Wanted Revolution Downloads, Nine N64 Titles 168

A GameDaily piece looks at nine N64 titles the staff over there feels really should make it onto the Revolution download service. They're quirky little titles, including a family-favorite launch title: Blast Corps. From the article: "In the game, you take control of a "destruction team" made up of this one guy and several vehicles that range from a bulldozer to a full-blown Transformer-esque robot, and you attempt to clear the path of a runaway missile truck running, oh, five miles an hour. If anything comes into contact with this missile it blows up, so you must clear the path to a certain point in the level. This means destroying ANYTHING, including cities, in order to assure its safety." What N64 titles would you want to see on the service?

    ...that Ocarana of Time is already on the list.

    What about Conker's Bad Fur Day?

    Conker's Bad Fur Day.

    I was so hopeful of Live and Reloaded but Rare games just aren't the same without that Nintendo touch. Online play for all these splitscreen gems would be a blast, too.

    My friend, I think you need to try something a bit different.

    Tetrisphere [ign.com] for the N64 is one of the greatest spins on the tetris formula, and hands down the best in 3D. It had quick and exciting 2-Player action, as well as a slew of great single-player modes. Not to mention one of the best trance/techno soundtracks in any game, ever.

    Tetrisphere alone would justify the price of the Revolution, IMHO.

    What, no Pokémon Snap on the list? (Seriously, if you haven't played that, do give it a try. It's surprisingly addictive, and I don't even like Pokémon otherwise.)

    They have a very good reason: Not undermining their own platform. There's a reason you don't see Mario games on the PS2. Yes, MS doesn't make money on their console, but they make money on games. If you don't sell consoles, you don't sell games. Thats the whole point of exclusives.

    More than likely, Nintendo has all kinds of rights to games where their IP is involved. (Donkey Kong Country, Diddy Kong Racing, etc) However, they may not have as much control over other Rare projects. Conkers and Perfect Dark are good examples of that. I seriously doubt these will show up on the Rev in any shape or form.

    I don't play video games that much and never owned a gaming console, but the rumors about the new Revolution are enough to make me seriously consider getting one. If I do, there are just a few N64 games I've played that I would definitely want to see on the new system (whether emulated or ported):

    Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time
    Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask
    Super Mario 64
    Mario Golf
    Mario Kart
    Monopoly

    Of those titles, Monopoly is the one I've played the most. I enjoy games that don't have a large learning curve and that can be completed in a single evening.

    I would also like to see Super Mario from the SNES on the Revolution. I kind of got addicted to that many years ago.
