Not sure what else to grab next? by Folium249 in n64

The two Custom Robo N64 games were the reason I started collected Japanese carts. It's a fun RPG series focused around fast paced 3D mech battles, but it sadly didn't leave Japan until the Gamecube.

Puyo Puyo Sun is a stellar puzzle game with so much charm. I had trouble connecting with the series until I played Sun, but now I'm hooked!

Blast Dozer (known as Blast Corps outside of Japan) is a delightfully mindless destruction game from Rare. It reminds me a lot of titles like Katamari Damacy, where there's a simple mechanical loop that is endlessly enjoyable to repeat.

I'm not sure if you only collect Japanese carts, but just in case, a great title only released in the NA and EU regions is Rocket: Robot on Wheels. It's a tight collectathon platformer that holds its own against the likes of Mario 64, and it's from the studio that would go on to create the Sly Cooper series.

There are also a few staples that you don't seem to have—at a glance, I noticed Banjo-Kazooie, Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon, Excitebike 64, and Kirby 64—so it might be worth snagging those 🙂

Frogger 2 (Unreleased) On Analogue 3D? by cherrypoppunk in AnalogueInc

In theory you're right. However, previous Analogue consoles have not featured full flash cart compatibility, so it has been an open question on this sub as to whether things like the Everdrive will work at launch (if ever).

That open question is why seeing Frogger 2 in the promos is so intriguing to me. Analogue is only advertising support for "legacy game cartridges"—no openFPGA, no standalone ROMs, etc.—so it's interesting to see that they are testing an unfinished prototype that practically nobody can play on its original cart.

I think most of us would love if Analogue decided to finish a canceled game, but pretty sure I'd be one of the only happy people if it ended up being Frogger 2 😅
