>The N64 is the best Nintendo console
A lot of N64 games are good, but why does it get so much special treatment? Games like Goldeneye, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask were great when they came out, but now all they are is clunky and outdated. Mario 64 is the one of the only N64 games that actually holds up nowadays imo. N64 is definitely a 90's kid Reddit console.

It's nostalgia, probably a lot of this board's first console or even exposure to video games. Having been exposed to good games as you admit back then is a huge impact, and when you know a game inside out it's harder to judge it nowadays as if you were playing them for the first time.

I have one (though I got it in 2008) and my favorite game is F-Zero X even with the rubber banding.

Why are you even on a retro games board if you consider retro games near-universally considered classics "outdated" (as if time affected their quality).

Obviously outside of graphics a lot of the highly regarded N64 games still stand the test if time in gameplay and design, honestly it's no wonder 3d was new, the consoles market share was low and it was hard to develop for so if you didn't put out gold you weren't going to make any cash

What are you smoking, PlayStation is chock full of shovelware, cheap 3D cash-ins (they chose PS due to it being the cheapest to produce with the biggest playerbase).

see, reddit just doesn't know when to take a joke to its break. it isn't funny retroactively because you thought it was kinda funny how it was still going on

n64 was shit and i hate it but you shouldn't subject it to being ridiculed without examination

The N64 runs like dogshit, take Goldeneye for example. The draw distance is awful. It looks more like Silent Hill than Goldeneye. You can get killed by guys you can barely see and the aiming is ass. Don't even get me started on the frame rate, Jesus Christ. Point is, you can still enjoy NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. but N64 is clunky and plays like shit and it weakens the experience.

Have you tried F-Zero X? One of the smoothest games there.

4 words. Conker's Bad Fur Day.

Those four words defeat any argument about the N64 you could have.

Of course, you have to put your 90's culture glasses on for some of the "edge," but it's a fun game.

Then it's not a thing about the N64 running like dogshit, just that devs tried to make games too ambitious for it or probably thought audiences wouldn't care that much about the performance (which seems the case).

Wii/DS. They basically became a completely different company (for the worst) after Iwata took over.

>> No.4494936

SM64, Ocarina, Majora's, F-Zero X, Smash, Mario Tennis, Mario Kart, Mario Partys, Conker's, Pokemon Stadium 2, Paper Mario, Goemon, Mischief Makers, Bangai-O, Sin & Punishment, Star Wars Racer, Rogue Squadron, Starfox, Ogre Battle.

There's TON of games you can pick up and play right away. Its 4-player multiplayer is unrivaled to this day.

If the N64 had some weeb jrpgs or at least a FF and DQ to beef up its library it'd be regarded as a godsend.

This board and a lot of the Internet jerks off to those so no surprise to see extra bashing on the N64 just due to this. You also need friends for the 4-player thing, btw.

It was my 6th console after the Genesis, Saturn, PS1, Game Boy, and Game Boy Color, and it still became my favorite console ever.

N64 did not have a lot of good games. It had a handful of really good games.
They're just as clunky as they were when they released. Games don't change, you do.
