Every Nintendo 64 Game Tier List 

Ocarina of Time is easily S tier. Playing that for the first time was unlike any other gaming experience I’ve ever had at the time, I just loved the eerie and dark atmosphere. Still one of the best Zelda games around

As someone who had both, seeing Charlie put Rugrats in Paris above Doom 64 made me do the biggest double take in my life

Bro watching Charlie geek out about these games brings me such joy. To see how fondly he recalls some of the GOATS, it takes me back to some kinda pure age of gaming. I know saying shit like that makes me sound like a nostalgia addict, but man oh man, games just hit fucking different pre-xbox one and ps4 era. There are still some banger games coming out in this new era but anything and everything was just someone’s passion project back then. People made the absolute craziest, zaniest, wackiest shit and I ate it up. So good. Great vid, Charlie. Can’t wait to take a walk through time and see what you think of some of the other consoles, especially ones I never played as a kid (i mostly stuck to Nintendo and Xbox).

Man F-Zero X is such a classic. It's a shame he didn't try it, but the high speed 60 fps races were unrivaled back then. And the soundtrack goes fucking nuts.

As someone who’s incredibly biased when it comes to Paper Mario as it was the game that made me realize what video games can truly be when I was a kid, it belongs in goated!

Diddy Kong Racing not being on the GOAT tier is insane... criminal!

Glad the tier list series has returned, I have really missed this.

Absolute tragedy that Diddy Kong Racing wasn’t on here. It was my favorite game of all time beside Banjo Kazooie. The songs still get stuck in my head to this day. Kirkhope and Wise are legendary composers

Haha I was looking forward to watching this and then seeing you check out a ton of my videos was fun to see. Keep Up the great work, your voice is super chill and combined with n64 makes it a great video to watch 👍

The N64 port of Resident Evil 2 was incredible. I'm impressed that a game that big managed to fit into that system.

Jet Force Gemini was one of my favourite games on the N64. Me and my friends put in so many hours I am quite shocked Charlie never played it. The way it did co-op was genius for it's time.

Let’s give that British guy reviewing obscure 64 games some more love.

_"You want fun? Wario shows you fun"_ is Nintendo's equivalent to SEGA's _"FUN is Infinite"._

All these stories about Charlie's childhood and his mom are real sweet

Everyone usually mentions the more popular games, so I'll talk about an underrated gem. Ogre Battle 64 is one of the best tactical rpgs I've played to this day. The class system is fun, the story is great, and the choices you make actually matter. Learning all the intricacies of the game is a lot of fun. It's sad that a lot of people missed this one and I never see it get much love outside of it's niche fanbase

Bro, Body Harvest is criminally underrated. Once you know the story and start discovering the hidden areas and other maps, it seriously becomes exciting.

The N64 had a long list of games that were so good. And because of that there was bound to be a game or two missing, just a shame it was Diddy Kong Racing as one of them. It's easily an S-Tier game (imo)

The ability mixing mechanics in Kirby 64 was an awesome gameplay concept and I wish Nintendo or Hal or whoever develops the next mainline Kirby game would bring this super fun-to-experiment system back into the franchise.

Super Mario 64 rly hit different back then and even nowadays

Just finished Majora's Mask (N64) yesterday night and it was Phenomenal. The plot is unique, the characters are interesting and likable, the gameplay was smooth, the combat is great, there's always something to do, the NPCs actually has purpose and the game rewards you for exploring and thinking in every location plus the temples/dungeons are satisfying to complete.

6:23 Super Smash Bros. 23:22 Donkey Kong 64 29:56 Conkers Bad Fur Day 59:10 Super Mario 64

Perfect Dark defined my Childhood. The Local Multiplayer was absolutely a blast! Finishing the challenges was also friggin adrenaline pumping.

Concor's Bad Fur Day is easy GOAT tier. One of the greatest masterpieces of gaming ever created. DAMN YOU TEDDIES!

DK64 is my most underrated game in history imo. It was quite a while after SM64 and was a great game to go to for those who loved SM64. It had its own aura, but the gameplay was still top top top notch. The ambiance was amazing. GOAT tier for me.

I'd honestly put perfect dark up a tier. It stood right along goldeneye for me. Glad to see Majora's mask made S tier. A lot of peopl don't like it as much as Ocarina, but I honestly prefer it

I love that Majora's Mask and Ocarina of Time are GOATs. They laid down the frame for every good open world game afterwards.

DUDE, Body Harvest was lit, the boss fights were amazing for their time, early game was probably a bit sleeper but it absolutely slapped once you started unlocking stuff

Banjo Kazooie is perfect! The puzzles are more challenging/intriguing than most games today. 10/10 for me.

38:44 Feels good to see Charlie recognize Kirby 64 the way it should.

Honestly a pretty good list overall, I like that he showed some deserved love to games like Kirby 64, Mace, and Turok, a shame Turok 2 wasn't on the list because if the first one was great, 2 was even better. With Mace, I don't know if it's a good game competitively but just to play the arcade mode or 1v1 funsies it was a blast, we definitely need a fighter with a dark fantasy setting. Also thanks for talking about Smash64 without comparing it to Melee, it is heartbreaking to hear people say that Smash starts with Melee, but the feel of SSB64 is so unique and something that hasn't been recreated again.

Mischief makers and Jet Force Gemini are criminally underrated games that never saw the light of day

If you're gonna do an Nintendo tier list, gamecube is where it's at, so many hidden gems that many of us have played but never given enough respect!!!

Man! I watched this excitedly hoping Charlie wouldn't skip past the co-op spaceship battle game that I played as a child and could never find the name of. Thankfully at 27:25 he put a little gameplay on screen and I was instantly flooded with nostalgia for that awesome game we rented from a local gas station all those years ago. Forsaken 64 was such a fun game.

Mischief Makers is A tier at least and is on my personal S tier. It's just a great goddamn game that still holds up.

I really hope that War of the Monsters is on the PS2 tier list, that shit is an S tier all day. Ever since it got a re-release on Ps4 it has had a permanent space on my hardrive, even after I got a PS5. It's like dragonball xenoverse for mythological creatures, I fucking love that game, have ever since I was 4 years old. It's been 19 years and that game still holds up to the tests of time.

Damn not putting Kirby and the Crystal Shards in GOAT hurt my feelings. That's a Kirby game that holds up easily today and I still go back and play it sometimes. Such a great game with being able to mix the powers and find cool combinations was soo good.

Seeing you know about how underrated Mace The Dark Age was and putting it up there compared to the other N64 fighting games really put a smile on my face. Mace was such an awesome game. Loved the character designs as well. Good times playing it over my cousin’s house as a kid. Very nostalgic N64 game to me, along with Kirby 64, Bomberman Hero, Army Men Sarges Heroes 2, Wave Race 64, Clayfighter Sculptor’s Cut, and Glover

Shame that Charlie has never played Mischief Makers. That game is GOAT Tier!

Star Wars: Rouge Squadron, Lego Racers, Starfox, and Wave Race 64 were some of the finest games for the N64 to this day

Man, this brought back some good memories. I played Goldeneye one night while i was supposed to be asleep already, and my stepdad (who had just moved in with my mom at the time) came to check up on me. Instead of telling me to go to sleep as usual, he sat down next to me and we just played and talked for a bit. It was the first time we really started bonding and being reminded of this little moment just made my day so much better!

Charlie needs to play Diddy Kong Racing, Blast Corps, and Star Wars Shadows of the Empire for 3 absolutely GOATED games he didn't seem to be that knowledgeable about.

Charlie! My friend Glenn is gonna be hyped when he sees this video. A lot of the videos you used as a resource for this tier list are from his channel. If you ever want information on ANYTHING N64 related, he's the guy to consult. His channel is N64 Glenn Plant. Great content as always!

I can't believe Charlie is brave enough to search and click on all these videos without worry about his recommendations getting ruined

It's been a while since we've seen the tier lists! Great to see it back again.

Rush 2049 holds a special place in my heart. It sounded so cool and was so fun to look at. The driving mechanic was already so cool as it was.

I like how he has an entire section that's just sports games on the N64. He knows there's like a lot of sports games

Perfect Dark was just as good as Golden Eye. I loved the suitcase that turned into a turret.

Bug's Life was one of those games as a kid that I really enjoyed... but as an adult realized how much it wasn't great. I'm not a fan of people dismissing someone's opinion of a game because of their nostalgia, but that was definitely a, "Not as good as I remember," moment. Ah well, the fact I enjoyed it when I didn't have a lot of games at the time can only be a net positive. I don't agree with your taste past me, but you do you.

Star Wars Rogue Squadron and Toy Story 2 for the N64 are both amazing and kind of hidden gems

Conker's Bad Furday in A tier truly did hurt my heart, but just because its my favorite game of all time doesn't mean other people share my opinion. Overall great Tier list Charlie keep it up my dude.

Vigilante 8 and 2nd offense are hidden gems, absolute classics.

My favorite N64 game is Goemon's Great Adventure or Mystical Ninja 2 in Europe. The soundtrack is really good and the challenging gameplay feels rewarding.

there is a lot of potential goat/S in "didnt play": the goemon series, turok 2 quake, FZero X, mischief makers, KI gold, ogre battle 64, RE2, hexen, forsaken, jet force gemini, shadowman

Man, Beetle Adventure Racing is an easy S, maybe even GOAT. Probably the racing game with the most alternate paths and shortcuts ever + having to collect stuff while racing is super challenging and fun. (This comes from a guy who played this game for the first time at 20 years old)

When Charlie said he thought the ingame trophies in Mario cart were real trophies you would get, I instantly thought of my old little kid thoughts, like the signs on the road that said “No shoulder driving” meant you couldn’t drive with your shoulders steering the wheel. Ahh good wholesome little kid moments…

I'm appalled that Star wars pod races isnt S tier!! That games was incredible, especially for it's time.

The New Tetris is one of the most historically important iterations of Tetris. It didn't start guideline Tetris, but it was a precursor to it.

As someone who played the old Pokémon snap and loved it. The new one was great as well. I enjoyed both a lot. The scoring system was better in the old one, but other than that they’re pretty even for me.

Rayman 2 is so underrated. Sadly, I don't think Ubisoft could be trusted to make a decent port these days, let alone a remake or proper sequel.

The list is missing Turok 2 as well, which I think tops the first. That game was visual fidelity for its time. I'd also like to see what you think of Mystical Ninja today; still has a place in my boy heart.

The nostalgia these clips are bringing to me... one of the best eras of gaming.

god imagine a tier list for every game, that would be placed in S tier

Beetle adventure racing was sick. What do you mean you do nothing? It's unique in that it combines exploration in a racing game. The cool environments had shortcuts/secret areas that were so creative and fun to access. The soundtrack was simple but groovy asf.The multiplayer was also a blast, definitely prefer this over Mario kart 64.

Have to disagree on Pokemon Stadium moist man. That belongs in the GOAT tier list no doubt about it. That game was revolutionary for the time, and still holds up amazingly

You put Body Harvest so low and I cant really fault you for it, because the game starts out super slow in Greece, but that game was wacky as hell and I loved it. Third world is Siberia and you start out running over zombies with a combine harvester, and the fourth world is America where you go bust an alien out of Area 51 and jack his UFO. Also, you can tickle skeletons and they giggle and I feel that earns it at least a B. Its really more of a puzzle game with fighting like a 3d Metroid than it is an action game.

This is really fun, do you do this with other systems?

I miss the tier lists thank god they’re back Edit: This is comment section on here is actually terrible wtf

Banjo Kazooie being in the GOAT category is something we can all surely agree on

Jet Force Gemini: the forgotten S Tier n64 game. Great gameplay, character types, weapon types, dope story missions, and great multiplayer game too.

Can’t do this until ThaBeast beats every single N64 game. And I mean all of them. It’s actually an awesome RU-vid series. I do miss his Kazio stuff tho

I think my favorite n64 game that wasn’t on this list was silicone space valley (I think that’s what it is called). The swapping between different animals was so cool to me as a kid

Blast Corps was great, I played it a bunch at my friend's house. It was developed by Rare and had very high reviews on release. Extremely hard though.

Great list overall. I would move Conker’s and Jet Force Gemini to GOATs IMMEDIATELY and Fighting Force 64 to S tier for the multiplayer alone. Finally you did not had to do my boy Pokemon Puzzle League like that, it was fun if you were good at it. x) Definitely not trash 🗑

I think we can all agree these tier lists never fail

Must have missed Jet Force Gemini. What an underrated game. The versus mode was particularly fun, especially with the landmines and such.

Pretty good list. I feel a few in A should absolutely be S. GOATs is subjective so I wont complain about what is and isnt in it but some of those A choices feel a little low for a few clear S tier games

Conker's Bad Fur Day, is the Goat n64 game. Multiplayer aspect was inspired, and better than Golden Eye, and i loved Golden Eye. Still nothing stands against the S tier Conker's. (I can understand his opinion on it.)

I just wanted to say that I used to take the rumble packs out of Starfox 64 boxes that at Blockbuster because they just left them in there on the shelf. N64 was the BEST for many reasons, one of my favorites being the ability to play games with 4 people and also because WCW/WWE Revenge was for the platform.

Snowboard Kids 2 is a game I rented randomly as a kid when I was sick and I ended up buying it. Incredibly enjoyable for what it was. 👌 Charlie's right, it slaps.

Jet force Gemini, idk if you got it or maybe I missed it. For me it was one of the best games I’ve ever played on early consoles. If you didn’t rate it or never played it I think you absolutely should and I’d love to know what you think about it. I’ve don’t think I’ve ever left a comment on any RU-vid video ever.. but I felt the need with this. Love your content Charlie, I don’t always agree but I will always be enjoying it no matter what. Also beetle adventure racing has a lot more than you think, especially if you include the cheats haha.

Unless I missed it, Gauntlet Legends and Hexen were great games missing from the list. Happy to see love for Snowboard Kids. Wish that series would make a comeback.

Blast Corps was really fun. For me it was one I rented when I wasn't sure what to rent. For me its A tier possibly S. 1080 snowboarding was also a classic.

Majora's mask was so unbelievably perfect that it should have its own tier just called the Majora's mask because it doesn't matter how much time passes Majora's mask is still the best video game ever created

I had an N64 because of my parents. Played Tetris, Goldeneye, Super Mario, and MarioKart. Absolutely loved it

I find the most underrated game of the N64 that nobody talks about is ShadowMan. The game follows a character named Michael Leroi/ ShadowMan and it’s a open world action adventure game. It’s so fun and cool and I wish more people new about. It recently got remastered for the Xbox, PlayStation and Switch and is only $20 so I recommend anybody who has the time and willing to pay 20 bucks to try it out because it’s a masterpiece.

Nice to see these back. Can’t wait to see what you do for the tier lists next.

9:45 stories like these just warm my heart. I was too afraid of Crystal Caves on Donkey Kong 64 so my older cousin helped me beat it.

I strongly disagree with Conkers. Having 6 brothers we had a ton of fun even with the multiplayer. But that's okay because its YOUR opinion.

Hotwheels is a classic. I played it on ps2. You've gotta learn to drive & then it's got really interesting level design & I enjoyed collecting the hidden cars!

Lack of Diddy Kong Racing is criminal. Top 5 game on the system. Blows Mario Kart out of the water. Literally the only thing Mario Kart has over it is the block fortress multiplayer stage. Thats it.

Holy shit man, most nostalgic list ever for me. South park was a great game too, one of the first I played when I was 7. Got in much trouble for talking like them in school lmao. Hell yeah Zelda n64 water levels... And the final temple of Majora's absolutely demanded perfection

Blast corps was an awesome game! So many good memories clearing levels with my twin growing up as a kid.

Hexen was one of my favorites, multiplayer was so fun with my little brother even thought we didn’t know how to advance in the game

I enjoyed this tier list, I respect putting pokemon stadium in S-tier it was so much fun.

I really liked Bomberman 64's multiplayer. The change in mechanics was refreshing, and it was just so much fun battling with 3 other players.

33:20 "cheat codes like big head mode" just unlocked some of the deepest forbidden memories that I didn't even know i had

Clayfighter was such an amazing fighting game. I remember playing it when I was younger from a rental at Blockbuster (when it was still a thing). I'd like to see it make a return because that would be phenomenal!

Born in 98, Conkers Bad Fur Day came out in 01. I cannot tell you how young I was when I first played the game but I still have memories sitting in the lounge room playing it with my dad - some of the best times. This game has so many cool cheat codes + the storyline is fucking hilarious. Maybe because I played this game when I was 7/8/9/10 I have bias but fuck I could go back now and have an absolute ball.

DK64 and Conker's Bad Fur Day are both GOATs.

I can't believe he skipped over Jet Force Gemini. That game was so fucking good.
