All N64 Games #286: Ready 2 Rumble Boxing
A boxing game centred around the famous “lets get ready to rumble” boxing/wrestling catchphrase. This starts off with a song that samples the original line.

All N64 Games #285: NBA Showtime: NBA on NBC
While there have been “NBA Jam” games on the N64, they’ve not been much like the original NBA Jam.

All N64 Games #284: Elmo’s Letter Adventure
Elmo’s Letter Adventure is a Sesame Street themed edutainment game, and one that’s rather quite bizarre due to how overly simplistic it is.

All N64 Games #283: 40 Winks
40 Winks is fascinating more for its cancellation than the game itself.

All N64 Games #282: NBA Courtside 2 Featuring Kobe Bryant
This is the best basketball game on the N64, and I don’t expect it to be beaten by any of the ones I’ve got left to play.

All N64 Games #281: Pro Mahjong Soldier 64: Mahjong Parlor Battle Challenge
The translation of the title is a tricky one. Tsuwamono strictly translates to “soldier”, but from what I can tell, it’s also slang that, in this context, means something like a “strong or stubborn player”.

All N64 Games #280: Hanafuda 64: An Angel’s Promise
Nintendo has a long history with Hanafuda – they produced cards long, long before video games existed.

All N64 Games #279: Earthworm Jim 3D
Earthworm Jim is known mainly for his two mediocre 2D platformers on the Mega Drive/SNES. These were both elevated due to their style and sense of humour, with lots of new stuff happening all the time.

All N64 Games #276: Paperboy
Sometimes, a poor choice in name can give the wrong impression, and can lead to your game being forgotten.

All N64 Games #275: Rayman 2: The Great Escape
With how both Rayman 2 and Tonic Trouble were developed by UbiSoft and released so close to each other, it’s amazing how different they are in terms of quality.

All N64 Games #274: NBA Live 2000
Another average sports game. This one doesn’t do much to improve the gameplay of the previous year.

All N64 Games #273: Super Robot Wars 64
Super Robot Wars is a series of turn-based tactical games very similar to Advance Wars

All N64 Games #272: Carmageddon 64
8% is the lowest review score N64 Magazine ever gave, and it went to Carmageddon 64.

All N64 Games #271: Noctiluca II: Murder Route
I didn’t expect to be able to play much of Noctiluca II, as it’s a fairly simple choose your own adventure game with a lot of Japanese text.

All N64 Games #270: WWF WrestleMania 2000
After doing well with the WCW vs nWo games, AKI and THQ managed to get the big wrestling license: WWF. Focusing on the big WrestleMania event, AKI brought over everything they learned from their previous games and improved upon it

All N64 Games #269: South Park: Chef’s Luv Shack
The second South Park game, this one is a quiz show with a handful of minigames. N64 Magazine loved it, yet it got panned elsewhere.

All N64 Games #268: LEGO Racers
LEGO and racing is a combination that really works well together. The various LEGO themes provide a lot of different settings, and the customisable aspect helps give a bit of personality.

All N64 Games #267: BattleTanx: Global Assault
While the first Battletanx was only released in America, its sequel got a more global release. And by that, I mean it also came out in Europe.
