7 mini-games from Pokémon Stadium N64 you forgot were awesome

You’ve seen just about every nostalgia-riddled article that lists the best Nintendo 64 games of all time. We’ve all dusted off our consoles (and blown into the cartridges once or twice to get of in-game glitches) and fired up Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros recently.

The one game that never gets old for me – no matter how many years go by – is Pokemon Stadium. And honestly, it isn’t because of the entire game itself; it’s because of the minigames.

Minigames are perhaps one of the greatest parts of actual videogames. I first experienced these in Pokemon Stadium, and my love for them was further cemented in Mario Party 2. But no matter how many games I’ve played with minigames, none compare to Pokemon Stadium. Maybe nostalgia is at play here (miss you, late 90s), but they were truly top-notch.
