See also: List of Nintendo 64 games and List of Nintendo 64 Player's Choice gamesA total of 387 games were released for the console though few were exclusively sold in Japan, in competition with around 1,100 games released for the rival PlayStation as well as both the NES and SNES having 768 and 725 US-released games respectively. However, the Nintendo 64 game library included a high number of critically acclaimed and widely sold games. Super Mario 64 was the console's best selling game (selling over eleven million copies) and receiving much praise from critics; GoldenEye 007 was important in the evolution of the first person shooter, and has since been named one of the greatest in the genre, behind Half Life; and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time set the standard for future 3D action-adventure games.

Famous quotes containing the word games:
“In 1600 the specialization of games and pastimes did not extend beyond infancy; after the age of three or four it decreased and disappeared. From then on the child played the same games as the adult, either with other children or with adults. . . . Conversely, adults used to play games which today only children play.”
—Philippe Ariés (20th century)
