Major series like <em>Dragon Quest<\/em> and <em>Final Fantasy<\/em> failed to make an appearance. Even so, the Nintendo 64 quietly has a decent selection of RPGs.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The list below contains every single Nintendo 64 RPG, plus some games with RPG-like elements. The tight-knit nature of this particular genre on the system means we get to tell players a little bit about what we love about each and every game. Not every Nintendo 64 RPG below deserves a complete playthrough, but they each have something unique to offer for a short time.
