The Nintendo 64 had some pretty good games. These are a few titles that may have fallen through the cracks over the years, and many are hard-to-find used. I think some clever studio should do us all a favor and toss them up on a modern-day download service.
I will champion this game in any way I can. Due to compellingly odd rights issues this will probably never again see the light of day, which is a shame since it's one of the best racers of all time. Incredibly long, detailed tracks plus a Goldeneye-style deathmatch mode? Smells like XBLA to me. It's sort of a shame you can only essentially choose one car, but at least you have a variety of colors to choose from!
This game is not easy, but given the extreme popularity of third-person shooters it may be due for a re-appreciation. Given that it's been about a decade since the original release I'm surprised we haven't heard anything from Rare regarding this franchise. Hmm.
Ideally, this would see a 4J Studios style remake, like Perfect Dark and the Banjo series on XBLA. Clean up the framerate, boost some textures and you're ready to start collecting!
This is probably the best modern Tetris game. Why hasn't it been dropped onto Virtual Console or XBLA? I mean, the hours-on-end play sessions could spell danger for screen burn-in. Maybe.
Man, remember when Rush was, like, a thing? Maybe it's a racing title that speaks to a very specific generation, (Mountain Dew!), but it's solid. At the right price almost any Rush title would make for a good nostalgia buy.
