Weird nintendo 64 games

Originally meant to be another cutesy 3D platformer, fans and gaming journalists weren't impressed so developer Rare decided to take a new direction and make one of the craziest N64 games ever.

Conker's Bad Fur Day stars a messed up squirrel who after a night of fun tries to go home to his girlfriend but along the way meets some bizarre folk. Like a large flower, weird teddy bears, and a giant monster made of 2, who must be destroyed with what else but toilet paper.

Oh, the villain of the game is a panther who wants to make you his table leg. It's weird, man. This game is weird enough without even talking about its Creepypastas. Talking about Majora's Mask means that we're talking about perhaps the most out there Zelda game in existence.

If the horrifying mask cutscenes don't creep you out enough, then there are all the little interactions with NPCs that will. There's an old man who hits on you if you have a Great Fairy mask, the woman who thanks Link by getting real close, and, oh yeah, the giant moon with a face.

After all of the incredible adventures, bouts of foot and fist and first-person shooters on the Nintendo 64, you may be looking for something a bit different. Well, how about a game multiplayer title on the N64 that comprises all the casino games you could ever want to play on one cartridge? If that's what you're hankering for, here's Golden Nugget Based on the Golden Nugget casino in Las Vegas, this is bizarre for a few reasons. For one, this isn't exactly a top tier casino on the Vegas strip.

Also, the main thrill of going to the casino comes from the risk of it, but if you're playing a video game, what thrill is there from a slot machine? Well, feast your eyes on the only game to ever tie into that show We need more games with Team Rocket as playable characters. Released only in North America and Europe, this game is a one vs. So video game board game hybrids aren't exactly rare with Nintendo themselves now on their 10th mainline Mario Party game but I don't see how Rugrats makes sense with a style like this.

But alas, here is Rugrats: Scavenger Hunt. Unlike in Mario Party where mini-games are thrown in to spice things up, this game is literally just a board game with only three different maps. It's amazing how a game intended for younger audiences ends up being so slow. This game was originally going to be an adventure game and for whatever reason was changed drastically during development.

So instead of a simple 3D platformer, they went for a puzzle board game. I admit that I don't know too much South Park , but I do know that the characters in it are all about causing as much mayhem and insanity as possible while getting in some biting humor.

At least the previous FPS game seemed like something the crew would do. Designed to be a mini-game collection mixed with a game show, players spend much of their time throughout the game answering questions like "What is the hottest month of the year? It's an opinion as common as cat pictures on the internet; Superman 64 is the worst game on the console and one of the worst in gaming history.

But putting aside just how bad it is, it's also one of the weirdest games to star the Man of Steel. Right off the bat, the game doesn't even take place in Metropolis or outer space.

Instead, you control Superman inside a virtual reality version of Metropolis designed by Lex Luthor. When in there, you will do such amazing things like This is actually the first level which sets the tone for this bizarre and awful adventure. Nowadays, we take for granted that anything with Super Smash Bros in the title will immediately be a massive deal and sell millions of copies. But back in , the idea of Nintendo's characters all crossing over for a fighting game seemed so bizarre and crazy but damn it did it work.

But that's just the premise of it. When you get into the "lore" of the game is when things get really weird. First of all, the final boss of the game is a freaking gloved hand. Wha wha what? What's even weirder is that it seems Master Hand is the hand of a child who is pitting all of these characters against each other in his play room Question for ya: professional wrestling matches take place where?

If you said a ring, then you would be correct! Even non-fans of the "sport" would understand that so leave it to WCW Backstage Assault to throw that basic concept out the window in favor of this. Despite being held backstage, there are no bystanders around ever.

In this wrestling game, all of the matches take place in backstage areas. Now, while this was a popular trend at the time in wrestling, it's still bizarre that there's not even an option of just having a regular match. This means that you can wrestle in a bathroom, a loading dock, a media center, and a parking lot. With all of that said, could this even be considered a wrestling game?

For those who don't know, the Worms series is a tactical artillery game where worms are equipped with all manner of weapons like bazookas, grenades, machine guns, etc.

And of course with all that weaponry, the goal is to absolutely obliterate the opposing team with them. The first Worms game to be released on consoles, there isn't much else I can add to the absurdity of this game with my words. You wouldn't think that such an absurd premise would result in such a deep game but sure enough, this a turn-based strategy game where you really have to think about where you position your characters to best attack and defend.

Who would have thought? I'm going to take a guess and assume that nobody has ever heard of this game. Sound weird? It's about to get nuts. Originally this game was released for the PlayStation and didn't see a Nintendo 64 release That's right, after a Kickstarter campaign started by Piko Interactive raised enough money, 40 Winks' canceled N64 port from will finally see an official cartridge release in September You can learn more about it right here.

And what a bizarre game they did make. The final single player N64 Mario ensures the plumber goes out with a bang. In an age where everybody was striving to make the next 3-D breakthrough, Paper Mario decided to go with a flat 2-D art style that makes the game look like a child's picture book. Although some concessions were made, Mega Man 64 is a faithful port of the PS1 cult classic, and it retains the charming gameplay, graphics, writing, and aesthetic that helped give this spin-off franchise its mythic reputation.

There will never be another partnership as wonderful and filled with glory as that of Rare and the Nintendo A truly unusual experience, players take on the roles of various vehicles including giant robots and are tasked with destroying cities and obstacles to make way for a runaway nuclear missile.

Featuring some of the best atmosphere and levels in the entire series, Doom 64 captures what made the series so great in the first place, while arguably pushing the formula to its limits.

Whether this was due to it already being rented out, or because another game had caught your attention, you never quite had a chance to play it.

This oddball pun intended is a mix between a racer and an obstacle course with a unique cast of characters. The Second Attack! Defying the odds, StarCraft 64 contains the ENTIRETY of the original game and the Brood War expansion, and while there are certainly some audio and graphical reductions, the game even has a pre-rendered cut scene, which is insane, considering the system.
