Wow, I can’t believe that the Nintendo 64 turns 20 today, I myself imported the console from Japan a short time after it was launched there together with Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64 on June 23. 1996. Both games looked awesome back in 1996 and both were super fun as well and made a great use of the Analogue stick controller.

A ton of great games were released on the Nintendo 64 in the following months and years, ranging from more platformer gems like Banjo Kazooie and Conker as well as revolutionary four player first person shooters like Goldeneye 64 and brilliant racing games like Mario Kart 64. The Legend of Zelda series saw two excellent 3D entries on the system, Super Smash Bros. was released in 1999 and everyone knows that it is one of Nintendo’s biggest franchises now.

Reason enough for the Game-Art-HQ community to respect and remember the Nintendo 64 and many of the games we played.

Have fun viewing the artworks we created and read a bit about the games that were released between 1996 and 2001 on the N64
