Neon Genesis Evangelion

About

Neon Genesis Evangelion for N64 lets you control massive mechs in battles against monstrous Angels. As a pilot, you mash buttons to execute attacks and defend against waves of enemies. The action leans heavily on timed inputs to trigger pre-scripted animations making it feel less like a traditional fighter and more like an interactive cutscene. Single player campaigns and split screen multiplayer let you take on the game’s infamous kaiju alone or with a friend. This Bandai title sticks close to the anime’s bleak tone but simplifies its complex story into basic button prompts. Released in 1999 it’s remembered for its aggressive combat and limited tech polish. The split screen mode remains a highlight for couch co-op fans despite its rough handling. N64 owners nostalgic for giant robot brawls might find it worth a playthrough.
