I always liked the games with good mini games, it shows how passionate the makers were to spend their time on making that part of the game good too. Sometimes they turn out to be fun than the main game...lol
I remember playing Celeste the steam version and going into this hidden room with the original 8 bit celeste game for PICO-8. I had to sit down and spend half an hour to beat that one first. It was really fun.
I didn't play a lot of party games back in the time... just the two players ones with my friends. They have to be really fun. Great post, man!
Yeah, it's always nice when fun minigames are part of the package. I did name Pokemon Stadium as one N64 game that has minigames I loved playing [and the sequel also does]...but another game I somehow didn't remember at the time of writing but definitely was this for me was none other than Kirby 64.
Game only had multiplayer support through the minigames it included, and while the first one I didn't get to play as much with others [it was a bit hard to explain to my small cousins lol], the second one where you pushed players over to steal falling fruit from trees was hilarious, and the third one where you could destroy lines of blocks in a platform and had to make the rest fall off by destroying the block where they stand on was hands down my favorite, to the point that I used it so much to play with cousins and high school friends.
Man, those were the times...it's hilarious to think that the multiplayer games that I had available for N64 whenever people pulled up was Mario Party 3, Top Gear Overdrive...and that one Kirby 64 minigame 😂
Thanks for reading and for your comment- it was fun for me to have that K64 memory back and being able to write about it :]
