Awesome thanks for all the suggestions everyone! @Tasuki my favorite genre of video games is platformers, but some racing, shooting, or fighting games are welcomed too.
Ok cool once I get some time I will give you some.

What are some good multiplayer SNES games other then Mario and TMNT? And what are some good single player N64 games?
For the N64 some really good 1 player games are: Blast Corps, Banjo Kazooie and Tooie, Donkey Kong 64, Conker's Bad Fur Day, Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness, ShadowGate 64: Trials of the Four Towers, Quest 64, Resident Evil 2, Earthworm Jim 3D.
I question a lot of these. Namely Blast Corps, Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness, Quest 64 (especially Quest 64!!!), and Earthworm Jim 3D. My experience with Blast Corps was less than satisfactory, namely that I could not for the life of me figure out what to do. Castlevania: Legacy of Darkness, while better than its predecessor, was still brought down by numerous problems, IMO. I haven't heard a single remotely positive word about Quest 64 from anyone who has played it, and I would not be surprised if the Angry Video Game Nerd does a video on it some day, judging from everything I've heard about it. Judging from the videos I've watched, Earthworm Jim 3D isn't that good either. I'd honestly like to hear why you feel they're worth recommending.

Thanks for all the recommendations Tasuki! Well now for SNES multiplayer I'm getting Zombies ate my Neighbors and Super Double Dragon. I'll get Banjoo Tooie, Perfect Dark, and maybe DK 64 for N64. If it's not too hard I'll try to get GoldenEye. Thanks again everyone for the help.

Yeah I am still looking for GoldenEye myself. I saw it a few months ago at a Retro Store and it was only $5, and wouldnt you know that was the day I forgot my wallet at home. I ran home and got it and went back but by that time it was gone.

I'm just trying to find out if anyone remembers the title of a CPU learning game from the 1990's. It was a top-down, spelling puzzle and adventure. Your character was some type of amazon indian, in a jungle setting. You had to move your character using the keyboard arrows and try to avoid, or find your way around obstacles. Like lions, crocodiles, oil slicks, boulders that had to be moved in a certain manner and many others. All the while you also had to collect letters in a certain order. To spell the word that was given to you at the beginning of each puzzle, from some kind of indian chief or medicine man. I think his name was Yobi or something like that. You could also pick up and use items like apples, to feed the lions so that you could sneak past while they ate them. Or to feed a hippo so that you could ride on his back across the river, to an non-accessible area. After completion of each word, you would hop on a floating log raft that carried you upstream to the next puzzle. Throughout the game you randomly come to some village on the river. You are then asked to use the keyboard to spell out a series of words correctly. Before you can move further up river and on to the next puzzle. You would also be awarded with a special token, that had some type of worth at the end of the game. The goal was to make it all the way up the river to some kind of temple or something. There were so many puzzles that I never actually completed the game, but I got pretty far up river. I can't remember the title of the game, it might have contained the indian chiefs name in it. Which I thought was Yobi or something like that. If you know which title I'm rambling about, then please reply. I still want to find and beat this game, for me it was very addictive. Thank You

It was called Spelling Jungle. I've played it too.

Recently I've really been getting back into the SNES. I haven't played a lot of SNES games, but it's still my favorite. The question is, with the collection on the Wii VC, is it necessary to get one? The novelty alone of having it is pretty cool, and I prefer using the original control scheme, but I think the classic controller emulates it pretty well. Of course, I don't have one, so I'd have to buy one or two. I already have Super Mario RPG and DKC2 on the VC, which it is impossible to play DKC2 with a GC controller, so that just doesn't do it for me. On the other hand, most SNES games are a good deal more expensive on Amazon or eBay compared to the VC, like Super Metroid being about 20 dollars from what I found. Not to mention Chrono Trigger, which costs over 50 dollars most of the time on Amazon.
Then there is the factor that the VC isn't complete, but it is pretty close. The main things it lacks for me are Earthbound, (too expensive for my budget anyways) Killer Instinct, and maybe Yoshi's Island. Not very many, but then, I am not very educated on many games outside of Nintendo-made on the SNES. There could be gold that I wouldn't experience without buying the SNES. The thing is, I really don't know.
Console space isn't a problem. I have plenty of room. I can easily get the cords and controllers if need be. A SNES alone I have found can go for about 30-40 dollars on Amazon. So I could get the whole deal for under 50 dollars. The thing is, my budget isn't high. Probably about 100 dollars. I'm leaning towards getting the real deal, because I can get SMAS for about 15 dollars, and then maybe a Final Fantasy or Link to the Past and I'd be set until I have more money for games. Enough rambling though, does anyone know what I should do here?
Nintendo - Where even first person shooters ooze creativity.
Hi everyone, I have seen Pilotwings 64 for very cheap at my local store. I have never played a pilotwings game, and whilst I do have a 3ds on layby, I don't know if the game is for me.
Is the 64 version a good stand alone game, and furthermore is it a good representation of the 3ds game?!
Pilotwings 64 is pretty good, especially if you found it very cheap. It is one of the first N64 games, so the visuals are a bit blocky and blurry, but on the other hand the draw distance was amazing. There are various different vehicles, with Rocket Belt, Hang Glider and Gyrocopter being my favourites. Getting a perfect score on each mission is a real challenge and there are plenty of bonus missions (Parachute, Jumble Hopper, Cannon Fire, Birdman). If you like games with a focus on flying then this is a good game. It has plenty of easter eggs too, and I really love the music of this game. Just make sure you have a good (new) N64 controller as you need to have a very precise analog stick. It's much better than SNES-Pilotwings. I don't know about the 3DS version.

Yes, you should get a SNES! It is the second greatest system of all time (a close second to the NES of course and just my opinion). The best thing about owning the retro consoles is that you are not limited to what Nintendo offers for download. I am not big fan of downloading games in general. There are so many great games to discover that you have never even heard of yet and that is just part of the fun of owning a retro console. As you have already found out with the VC and DKC2, you just cannot beat the original controller to get the most enjoyment out of the classics. Oh, and make your first SNES game Super Castlevania IV!
To blessed to be stressed.
80's music makes me feel fabulous.

@Bub166: If you have the money and the space for it I say heck yeah go for it. As Ryno said having the actually console as a opposed to the VC on the Wii is that you dont have any restrictions on what game you can buy excpet for availability and how hard it is to find. There are so many good games on the the SNES that will probably never be released on the VC for various reasons stuff like Starfox and Super Mario World 2, that the only chance you will have to play these great games is if you own a SNES. A good place to check too are thrift stores and garage sales. Also check swap meets too if you have some in your area. Good luck on getting your retro collection started.

@Bub166 Even with the VC I would say definitely go ahead and get a SNES if you have the space and money. Many games that aren't available on the VC are actually kind of cheap. (Although as you said there are plenty that are expensive.) For example I bought Star Fox for $3! The collection value is nice and just having a real SNES and it's controller gives you a special feeling. Most games won't save anymore unless you fix them up so it's better to play those in one play through if you can, but they're still plenty of fun! There's nothing wrong with having the original SNES and still buying SNES games for it. This way you have a much more options.
I haven't played it, though I heard a few rumours about it.
It was going to be a Terminator game, but they somehow lost the license. This actually a very good action game that would have blown away all the other crappy Terminator games. (Well maybe it was too good to be a Terminator game?) Fortunately without the Terminator license attached to it, there are good chances that SUNSOFT releases it on VC.
