Nintendo own 100% of DK64, it was one of the first 64 games released on the Wii U VC. They can't use Diddy Kong Racing because it has Banjo and Conker in it.
From the top of my head (didn't search anywhere):
Super Mario 64
Paper Mario
Mario Kart 64
Smash Bros
Star Fox 64
Banjo-Kazooie
Jet Force Gemini
Goldeneye 007
Perfect Dark
Blast Corps
Harvest Moon 64
Diddy Kong Racing
Donkey Kong 64
Conker's Bad Fur Day
Ocarina of Time
Majora's Mask
Tony Hawk 2
Rogue Squadron
I mean if it's anything like the NES/SNES classic then it doesn't matter what it ships with, takes 10 mins to hack it and play whatever you want. It will be known as the "WCW vs NWO Revenge Classic Mini" to me.
The complexity of N64 emulation is probably a bigger barrier than figuring out the game lineup.
They'd presumably also have to improve the hardware a bit. They used the same internals in both the NES and SNES editions, but it probably wouldn't be enough for N64 emulation.
That's why I'm hopeful for an N64 classic. Nintendo wrote a great(and probably the best) N64 emulator for the Wii and Wii U but it didn't support every game, I'm hoping they expand on it.
Yea I have the PS3 Genesis collection which is excellent. To be fair, obv they make money from those collections; perhaps even more than whatever the profit margin on the mini hardware would be if the market was dying for Genesis games (which I'm not sure that it would be anyway).
Finally took a spouse in Stardew, sad to see they only randomly pick one of six possible behaviors for the day. Was hoping I’d just get all my crops watered all the time. GUESS NOT.
First day of wedded bliss, my honey got me a gift: a bomb.

Off topic, but the story behind why revenge was the last good wrestling game
WWF No Mercy is kind of considered the last best wrestling game. Article sounds cool so I'll read when I'm in front of the PC but I'm going to assume it's because AKI lost the license and Yukes developed the games exclusively and Yukes suck balls. AKI's engine was awesome and used in a bunch of non WCW/WWF games as well, Yukes engine is garbage which I don't think they've changed in at least 10 years, they just keep adding to it.
Hah I read it and was spot on. Pretty cool article though thanks for posting. I never knew the Yukes games were built off the Simple 1500 wrestling game which was funny to me since I bought it for like $3 when I was in Japan a few months ago.
