>>4407007
Tell me videogames are actually better other than piracy for having internet.

>>4407008
proto-console internet actually adds something to games. Floppy disk drive is just a gimped cd drive

Why would ANYONE pick a base system other than the N64? The only problem with its guts was memory bandwidth (or lack of direct GPU connection to memory).

>>4407012
What does it add? Multiplayer? Shit, if consoles didn't have internet, you might not have DLC/microtransactions.

>>4407013
gross smeared textures and lack of a real soundchip

>>4407018
>DLC/microtransactions
fifth gen anon. Thanks to netlink you were able to play Duke Nukem 3D, Virtual-On, Sega Rally, and Daytona online with friends and surf the internet on your tv

>>4407021
Eh, if that's important to you. Multiplayer has never been a selling point for me.

>lack of a real soundchip
listen to f zero x soundtrack and tell me you aren't fuckin pumped

>In marketing terminology, a killer application (commonly shortened to killer app) is any computer program that is so necessary or desirable that it proves the core value of some larger technology, such as computer hardware, a gaming console, software, a programming language, a software platform, or an operating system

>>4407019

The textures is part of the memory bandwidth problem.

The sound is fine, if anyone complains about that over PSX's jittery polygons then it's just nostalgia.

>>4407031
ok

>>4407019
Music sounds fine compared to Saturn and PSX soundchips. Most of their games other than early releases don't use CD audio due to space limitation.

Rogue answer: Hu-card

I call it the Sega Sars Station

>He's too young to know what a killer app is

>>4407036

Oh wow, cherry picking! The PSX had the cheapest to make games so while its library did have lots of good stuff, it also had by far the most absolutely GARBAGE. You do not have shit if the best you can do is name a game that sounds bad.

Tapes are more cool as cds :v i know cds can storage more things but tapes are cool and nostalgic

>>4407054
textures are the problem here, not sound

>>4407056
>nostalgic
get out

>>4407057

Textures are debatable in the first place, but as already mentioned, the memory problem is the cause of that.

Jittery PSX games with no hardware T&L looks worse to most people than texture issues. N64 had way more games with top tier graphics like Majora's Mask, while games like Soul Reaver were so exceptional they're mostly remembered for being that exceptional.

>>4406998
I'd just build the PS1 w/Mario 64

>>4407067
>implying the ps1 could even run mario 64

>>4406998

PSX had the best games, is modable, and you can burn games to disc.

>>4407074
>is modable, and you can burn games to disc.
so is the saturn, which incidentally had better games

>>4407074
>>4407076

Neither of that matters in a thread where you're making your own system and can decide which media it uses.

>>4407076
>so is the saturn, which incidentally had better games

Base N64
Add-on PS
Controller Saturn
Killer App NiGHTS
Storage Medium CD

>>4407092
what's the appeal of the saturn controller?

Uh, did OP mean to put a PSX controller without analog sticks or rumble in the pic?

>>4407084
Does the PS have any good games that aren't just inferior counterparts to Saturn/Sega games? Tekken is bad Virtu fighter, Ridge Racer is bad Daytona USA, and so on.

>>4407094
Most comfortable, best button layout. It is the best controller ever made.

>>4407103
mmx4 and mm8 have longer load times on saturn.

>>4406998
Crash was NOT the killer app for the psx. Put FFVII or MGSin there, and itll be more believable.

>>4407106
Those games suck anyway. Mega Man has never been good.

>>4407115

N64
Netlink
Saturn (3D Pad)
Super Mario 64
CD-ROM

>>4407117
Stupid fanboy.

>>4407123
Projecting?

>>4407123

>>4407129
I'm not the one who thinks games I like can only be disliked as a troll tactic.

>>4406998
>base
either PS1 or N64

>addons
either the built in screen or modem

>controller
PS1 with dual analog sticks

>killer app
can i choose something other than those 3

>mediun
CD

>>4407117
Megaman games past the NES were all garbage

>>4407131
But liking a game series just like millions of others makes someone a fanboy? Christ I hope you're trolling and not just that fucking stupid.

>>4407131

Oh, the snowflake is special and wins vs the general is contrarian, fanboy, troll consensus.

>>4406998
>N64
>Netplay

>>4407138
No, thinking the only way one could dislike a series is if they're trolling is being a fanboy.

>>4407006
>Mario 64 with a PS1 controller
Ew

>>4407157
Shit, you're right.

>>4407153
And treating your minority opinion as a way to subjectively declare one console better than another is fucking stupid.

>>4407157

It's fine.

>>4407163
I just said Mega Man sucks are you're still butthurt about it. Grow up, fantard.

>>4407172

You are way more butthurt than he is.

>>4407174
Is simply replying your criterion for being butthurt?

n64 but with crash bandicoot

>>4407182

No, your screaming insults at a guy just for being taken aback by someone insisting that Megaman isn't important is what makes you butthurt.

>>4407195
What insults?

>>4407206

Literally only one reply you've made hasn't included an explicit insult.

>>4407084

>>4407025
this no-friend here LOL

>>4407229
nigger, sonic r is on that list. fuck off.

>>4407210
Quiet I'm a butt hurt baby

you have to be smart enough to realize that that literally isn't an argument, right?

Base: N64
Addon: Maybe the Net BS. It kinda doesn't matter.
Controller: N64
Killer App: Marrio 64
Storage: CD

>>4407008
VIdeo games are WAY better for having the internet.

>>4407308
explain

>>4407303
this is the only correct answer

>>4407317
>correct answer
>N64 controller
Nope.

>>4407310
laggy multiplayer with cheating 12 year olds

>>4407310
Probably two of the things you hate/don't give a fuck about. For one, I think DLC is pretty great and the second is that I've always been big into multiplayer and vs games and having online means I can both play with friends or an endless stream of strangers.

I also like the way the internet can bring together people who are interested in very specific, niche things. Roguelikes, one of my favorite genres was born out of fans discussing, modding and tinkering with games in a way that never would have happened before the internet.

Saturn with cartridges & a saturn controller for me please, killer app something street fighter perhaps

>>4406998
n64 with portable tv and n64 joystick with n64 on a cart

looks like nintendo wins again

>>4407380
If only it could play games from its cartridge slot.

>>4407036
>N64 could only have bad textures meme
not when the developers knew how to code

>>4407012
>gimped cd drive
But you can read/write to floppy disks, making them superior for vidya.

>>4407140
What are you even rambling on about?

>>4407036
Quake has bad textures.

It's called "shitposting".

N64
Netlink
N64 Controller
I don't like any of those games
Cartridge

>>4407404
Rare were really ingenious about textures on N64 games. Couples with the lighting effects and character animations made these games look really good.
also it should be remembered that N64 games are meant to be displayed on CRTs at 240p. No wonder stretched screenshots from emulators will look blurry.

>>4406998

Saturn
NetLink
psx
nights

>>4406998
>n64 or any sega controller
id rather use a fucking power glove

>>4408565
>implying the N64 isn't more capable than either PS1 or Saturn, and logically so since it was released like 2 years later
>implying the model 2 Saturn controller isn't over of the best pads ever made

>>4408565
Playstation controllers are trash lad, only 4 face buttons and that god awful segmented D-pad.

>>4408203
Quake on PC also had bad textures. Goldeneye was far better in several ways.

>>4408565
This is not a valid or legitimate opinion in any way. Get a life.

>>4406998

PSX

The loading times were annoying but the games tend to have more depth.
