Looking for N64 side scrollers.

Post by pepharytheworm »

Alright guys, help me out with this. I know of only a few that were on the N64 please tell me there are more.

Goemon's Great Adventure
Mischief Makers
Kirby 64: the Crystal Shard's (just started playing this one, it's fun but a little to easy)
Yoshi's Story
Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-zero

Is that it? I don't care if it's an import. Please let this not be another genre let down on the N64 just like shmups. I love the N64 but the more different type of games I get into the more I keep getting dissapointed. Is the N64 only for lovers of Platformers and FPS?

I know this doesn't help you find games, but I think the N64 suffered from a lack of 2D stuff for the same reason the PS did in the US. 3D was the new thing and the US management was damned if it was going to waste all that 3D processing power on old school poo poo 2D nonsense, even if it had been working great for games for 20 years and everyone was still trying to make 3D games that worked in a fun gaming sense.

Isn't there another Mystical Ninja game on the Nintendo 64?

Also, what about Paper Mario? Have you tried that?

Beyond that, I can't think of anything off the top of my head, but don't let that discourage you. I don't remember my way around the N64 collection very well.

I have Paper Mario but I don't consider it a side scroller. Its close though and there is room for debate to call it a side scroller.
