Do You Have Any Unpopular Gaming Opinions?

When I think about the N64, my mind floods with halcyon memories of local multiplayer awesomeness. I barely played any single player games on it. But multiplayer? Countless hours spent on Mario Kart, Smash Bros., Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, Turok Rage Wars, F-Zero, Mario Party, and so many others.

Mario Kart 64 is the only N64 game I'd say I ever loved. Though it was eclipsed by Double Dash.

I don't think any Mario Kart after 64 had a better battle mode than 64 had. But the racing improved in future iterations, I agree.

64 had the best battle mode. Totally agree. But my favorite overall racing game is Double Dash. I actually enjoyed the DS game a lot too.

And not to be a dick, but this is the thread for this: the first Sonic All-Stars racing is my favorite kart racer above all Mario Karts.

If I can ever find it on 360, it's an instant purchase. Me want race as Banjo & Kazooie :I

I seem to remember Joe Redifer of Game Sack expressing the same sentiment. What I played of Transformed was very solid, I haven't gotten a chance to play the first one. It looks really good, though.

Crash Team Racing and Diddy Kong Racing were both quality kart racers on release too.

When I think about N64, my time comes to where I drift towards the Dream Team and being sold greatly not just on the awesome Mario game and Lucasarts with Shadows coming, but something from my childhood -- ROBOTECH: Crystal Dreams.

I'm still bitter over that one. Years later on the internet I found someone who was one of the big guys working the actual project when GAMETEK failed. He put up this amazing website with all the info he could compile and put up for people to enjoy, and one of those things he had if someone wanted it was the last active code alpha/early-beta build of that game. At the time I was the silent admin due to being friends with Dave of Dave's Video Gaming Classics which became VGN(Vintage Gaming Network later) which was the 90s largest emulation news site. I got permission to both host and distribute that game alone on that page and it got quite a bit of response. Sadly at the time emulators as buggy as they were could barely hobble into firing it up, forget playing it. I know modern stuff can deal with it as it had existed to a good point, but what I understand is if it goes on a flash kit it plays even better still on a N64.

Oh and for fun, proof of sorts, the guy still keeps that same 90s era page online now.

Holy shit, Robotech: Crystal Dreams is something I hadn't heard about in a long, long time. I was so excited that a Robotech game was coming out at the time. Alas, it wasn't meant to be.

Man that sounds awesome....too bad it and quite a few other games never came to fruition on the system....maybe if they had it wouldn't of been as panned back then? (I mean it was popular but not as popular as it could've been from the looks of it every time I hear about a cancelled or moved project like this...)
