Wave Race! Oh man, it's been a long time but I loved that game! The closest I got to it these days is Hydro Thunder.

I miss these games. I wonder why Nintendo hasn't made one in a while. I loved the N64 game to pieces.

Not a fan but I think they're competent solid games, they're just average waterscooter jetski racing games, I prefer the Splashdown series which adds over the top characters and level designs etc. to the formula.

Nice one. I'm sure I bought this game more than once. One of the best games ever made. The N64 one that is. The GameCube one wasn't as cool, but I got to say the water and the presentation of the GameCube one were very impressive at the time.

I also do prefer Hydro Thunder for my water racing games, but Wave Race is still good enough. The 64 one was very technically impressive; the water physics were great.

The N64 one is the best known of the series because it came at near the system's launch and was a great little racing game. I think, graphically, its one of the best games on the system.  Have any of you played the original on the Game Boy. It has a pretty neat physics system and apparently a four player mode, but overall it's a pretty disappointing game in comparison to its big brother on the 64. |

I remember liking the N64 game but haven't played it in a long time.

I only played Blue Storm at a cousin's house one time. I remember it for having one of the most ingenious easter eggs I've ever seen:

You may as well hide an easter egg there so players can notice the feature that you spent hours developing because some big wig asshat felt retro that day. |
