The success of the NES and SNES models has clearly got the company&#8217;s attention, as it&#8217;s been putting effort into distributing decent stock for the latest system and is preparing to bring the NES back. Nintendo has looked at the sales and online demand and realised that it&#8217;s sitting on easy money.<\/p>\n<p>So, we reckon there are good odds that the Nintendo 64 will happen. However, there&#8217;s been a bit of buzz about a supposedly new list of <a class=\"external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.co.uk\/Support\/Nintendo-64\/Nintendo-64-manual-and-additional-documents\/Nintendo-64-games-manuals\/Nintendo-64-games-manuals-990819.html\">game manuals for N64 games<\/a>, and some are excitedly speculating that the line-up of 19 games could be an inadvertent leak of the prospective N64 Mini&#8217;s library. Well if it is it&#8217;ll be a coincidence, because it is in fact an old list.<\/p>\n<p>Former Nintendo Life writer and N64 expert actually tweeted about the list back in January this year.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"object object-tweet\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p><span lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Lost the instruction manuals to your Nintendo-published N64 games?
