It may come as a surprise, given how accustomed we are to games weighing in at hundreds of gigabytes, that the entire Nintendo 64 library comes to less than 25GB. Including Japanese exclusives, that's 388 games - 7530 fewer than released on the PlayStation. It's odd, then, in such a relatively small selection, how much room there is for games to fall through the cracks and slip out of our collective consciousness. One can justifiably blame this on the titanic status of many Nintendo 64 titles.
Super Mario 64 revolutionised platforming as the genre moved to three dimensions, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remains one of the most beloved games in our history, and one can make the case that few first-person shooters have lived up to Goldeneye's legacy. The list goes on, longer than one would think from the miniscule catalogue from which it's sourced. But those games mask a wider catalogue that didn't become cultural touchstone
