Which Nintendo 64 Games Require a Memory Card?

 

Nintendo went through a few technology upgrades during the release of the Nintendo 64 console.  This has led to a huge misconception as to which games actually require a memory card and which ones saved to the cartridge.  The technology that the games use to save information includes the use of EEPROM’s, Flash Memory and SRAM but we aren’t going to be discussing them in any detail.  The most important thing here is which ones actually require them???  Power Up Gaming has the answer!

Below is a list of the games and all the highlighted ones requiring a memory card to actually save information.  There are a few games that save on cartridge but also give you the ability to save on a memory card and take that information with you to a friend’s place or keep as a backup.  If the game says none then the game has absolutely no way to save your progress.
