Not a lot of games this issue, as we have a bit of a lull in the N64 release schedule.

Nintendo Power Retrospectives: Special – Looking Back on the SNES

We’re coming to the end of the SNES’s lifespan, so I give some thoughts looking back at the console’s life, what it introduced, and the impact it had on video games – and how that may have helped lead to the exodus to the PS1.
