This September marks the 19th anniversary of Nintendo 64’s launch in North America. The technology might be two decades old and there are significantly better options on the market, but both avid and casual gamers continue crawling back to Nintendo’s third video game console, one that brought some of the best games to the masses.

After reviewing the 25 best-selling video games of the 1990s earlier this week, four of which were Nintendo 64 games, we’ve delved deeper into that beautiful console to rank the 10 best sports video games for N64, starting with the wildly popular Mario Tennis.

Disclaimer: We’re loosely defining “sports”, as you will notice from the inclusion of WWF No Mercy.
