This is the Nintendo 64. The best console ever made. PC is a superior platform to every console, but as consoles go, this is the peak. It is everything a console should be. No load times, sturdy, easy to use, fun, cheap. No other console is as perfect as the N64. Fact.

>> No.4715867

Doesn't really have any games that I like, though. Super Robot Wars 64 is literally the only N64 game I own.

>> No.4715868

The cartridge format allowed it to have a longer legacy than the CD and DVD format systems because little kids could change the carts without scratching the fuck out of them. SNES/NES/Genesis all had the same benefits that kept them in popular culture long after they ceased production.

Since you mentioned games separately, I can only assume you're speaking in terms of the physical design. What exactly about 4 controller ports, the best hardware of the gen, no load times and no moving parts makes it a "shit system"? I await your thorough explanation.

I only experienced the major 3rd party games and the Rareware platformers ( plus snowboard kids 2 and rampage world tour rentals ) and that was still enough to make the N64 worthwhile to me. If a console has minimum 20 games that I like, it's good.

That being said, I bought a used N64 and i'm waiting for my everdrive to get here. I'm pretty hyped to relive my old favorites and get to play some of the other games I missed out on.

Add that to the list of great things about it. The reason it triggers /vr/ so badly is because it's often perceived as the normie/chad console despite also having some of the most highly rated games of all time. It's cool to hate on the '64 around here because every hipster contrarian wants to pretend their favorite hiddun jem shovelware is better than the likes of SM64 or OoT, but deep down everybody knows the truth: the N64 is legit.

Thing is, most consoles don't even have many more than that. I've yet to find a console that had more than about 30 games that were really, really worth playing. The N64 easily has 2 or 3 dozen.

Congrats on getting the everdrive, it's a good purchase. I highly recommend checking out Quake 2, Perfect Dark, Wetrix, Tetrisphere, Blast Corps, Killer Instinct and Ogre Battle 64 if you haven't already.

I don't know how. The PS1 is seriously one of the most boring consoles I've ever played. There's just about fuck all outside of RPGs. The me-too platformers like Crash and Spyro are a snore, the shooters are laughable compared to N64 offerings, there's basically no puzzle games worth playing, no adventure games other than Alundra which is broken garbage, and no racing games as good as DKR or F-Zero X. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.

Funny you mention this, because unlike PS1 shooters (the majority of which don't even support analog controls), almost every N64 shooter has customizable controls, which actually lets you use the dpad or c-buttons to move and the stick to aim, just like a modern dual-analog shooter such as Halo.

I'm going to ignore the fact you actually think /v/ doesn't still using "implying" like some delusional retard and focus on this point of contention: please provide factual evidence as to why I'm wrong, because so far you've failed to do so. The GCN and Xbox both had more good games, and better looking games. Also, your contention of the PS2 using a bulky peripheral for online services as being anything other than fact is, frankly, disturbing. Unless you're using a slim model (which was produced long after the PS2 was no longer even relevant), you needed an accessory to access online functionality, and said functionality was severely limited by the lack of a unified online service like the Xbox had. I await your informed and well-prepared response.

HURR DURR the PS2 has a bulky peripheral even though that was only the phat PS2 and it was still smaller than the GCN's ethernet peripheral, as though either matters.

> HURR DURR the PS2 has a bulky peripheral even though that was only the phat PS2 and it was still smaller than the GCN's ethernet peripheral, as though either matters.
I don't remember making any comment about the GCN's online capabilities, nor the size of its network peripheral. Though, since you mentioned it, the GCN's broadband adapter fit flush with the bottom of the console, and the PS2's online adapter was a heaping brick sticking out of the back. Either way, the PS2's online was a joke compared to Xbox, so I'm not sure what you're trying to prove here.

Good job.

The rest of your post is wrong as usual, no I'm not saying the PS2 is more powerful graphically than the Xbox. I said SotC wouldn't run on the Xbox because it can't handle the alpha blending used in that game, which is 100% true. I see why you stick to the implying posts when most people dropped it.

Games built specifically for the PS2 went well beyond what the Xbox could achieve. This is evident in numerous ports from PS2 to Xbox where the Xbox versions were an undeniable visual or performance downgrade - such as MGS2 and Silent Hill 2. Xbox being limited by its custom Direct X API and Nvidia hardware crippled its potential where the PS2 being a more traditionally designed console had no problem powering its way through odd and unique rendering techniques. It also helps that in many cases the PS2 could provide a cleaner picture as the Xbox does apply a filter over its output. The main leg up it has is in multiplat titles, many games which hit 720p, and a library that universally runs at 480p except for a single game.

dunno, it kind of was relevant because it was much cheaper than a shitty fat boy, and it's the objectively best version of it, much quieter and less likely to shit itself life the fat models, and due to 3rd world shitholes like Brazil the PS2 was semi-relevant up until at least 2010 or so.

And you are wrong. All four systems of that gen were capable of things the others were not. The DC was only weak in terms of T&L, it otherwise thrashed the PS2 at everything except alpha blending, which the PS2 was best at in that gen. You're making a stupid post in the first place and it's wrong, make no mistake. Even if you had been right in the vaguest sense, it'd be by sheer luck, you have no idea what you're talking about.

N64 might be the only platform in history where good, great and notable games constitute a relatively high percent of the entire library. About 370 games were released in total and really there's like 120 that are often recommended. Compare that to Famicom/NES 1900 games out of which maybe 250 are noteworthy.

>> No.4716425

>>4716414
Yep. The N64 has an unbelievably high ratio of quality to quantity. Even a lot of the games that would normally be shovelware on other consoles (racers, wrestling games, sports games, etc) tend to be really good on N64. That's because Nintendo was extremely careful about who they allowed to develop for the system, and they often worked closely with 3rd party developers to ensure that their products met a certain level of quality. They also had a "dream team" composed of devs like Rare and Midway who they contracted to produce many titles of varied genres, and gave preferential treatment and additional development resources.

>> No.4716445

Yeah, the games are good. But the hardware is utter shit unfortunately, with the peak of stupidy from Nintendo being removing a few capacitors and resistors so it couldn't even output in RGB when all other consoles had that as a standard since the late 80s. Compared to the competition, the initial perception of the N64 was that its graphics were muddy as fuck due to being composite only.

I know you probably weren't even alive to experience the "initial perception", but nobody gave a single fuck about this. 99% of people used composite for every game console. You bought the console, you plugged it into the TV, that was it. Nobody cared about this shit. The games looked good and that was all that mattered.

I tire of this favoritism that serves no purpose but to start shit.
All consoles from the 1st to 7th gen are beautiful in their own way.
The PS1, the N64, and the Saturn are all beautiful. Their sales success then is irrelevant today.
What matters is their library, and each one can claim to a vast number of titles.
To argue over which of these is superior achieves nothing.

Besides, it's the current generation of consoles that all suck ass.
Paying extra for online play on ALL of them? In this day and age? Fuck right off with that shit.

>The best console ever made.
I think the contention around /vr/ involving the 3x 5th gen systems is that they were all really good.
The ONLY thing I knew about Saturn was that my buddy had one, and it was for Arcade fighters. Xmen etc.

So left is the PSX, which had a HUGE library, and many great games. N64 had a much smaller library, but higher quality overall. I don't think I could choose between them EXCEPT that I was old enough to drive when both were released in the USA. I got the n64. It still works to this day, and a few years back I gave it to my sister.

PSX on the other hand died pretty regular on my friends. Cds got ruined. Systems shit out. But audio was amazing on the PSX. PSX was not as much a light-hearted "party system" & I got the vibe it was a serious gamer type of thing.

N64 shined in that it had fewer titles, but they were exceptional. Less shovelware. Of course it had Zelda and everyone sucks its dick. I never enjoyed it. Everything that was on both systems was generally better on the N64 except for the audio. Each system had too many sports titles, but QB Club for n64 ran in "higher resolution" 640x480 and looked better then anything on the PSX. One of my personal favorites is NBA Hangtime. (My opinion can now be invalidated). Arcade style, but better then any other version INCLUDING the pc.

The n64 controller may have been a joke, but it worked for it....PSX had 3 different variations of the same damn thing...now with an added feature that few games used (analog sticks). N64's analog still is one of the best ever made. Its a shame that no one has made a solid metal one with metal gears. It was the big fail of the system, and was the first and last thing to be ruined. Too many moving parts made out of plastic always fail under use. Making them totally from steel or other alloys would have been very cost prohibitive. Its my only complaint about the system & I have repaired many.

My first console was a PS1, yes, but I never, ever in my life, and especially not back then, claimed it was better than the N64. I always saw them as equals. I knew and visited more than one person with an N64, and I thoroughly enjoyed playing on both. I didn't give much of a fuck about graphic superiority. Hell, I played a Sega Genesis after the PS1 and N64, and I didn't think any less of it compared to the other consoles.

This arguing over old consoles is the stupidest shit. Why does it matter how much they sold in the end? Both consoles had a number of good games to each of them, why does it matter if one had a few more overall? Does that invalidate the other's library? No!

Even as my blood boils over the widespread support of Nintendo and Sony's modern-day shitty buisness practices, I cannot, and will not, ever participate in this garbage, outdated console war of years past. What do you assholes even gain in the long run from "winning" these stupid arguments? Any satisfaction is short-lived. Why can't we all just get along and all agree that the Atari Jaguar is the worst 5th Gen console of all?

You know why people like talking about console wars? Because it's fun. Do you think anybody seriously thinks that arguing about the best 20 year old console is going to change anything? No. It's just a fucking argument. People like to compare dicks and spout memes and call each other retarded and remind themselves of why they like or dislike something. It's the same reason people get upset over arbitrary sports statistics or political views or any other meaningless shit.

I owned a PS and a PC before getting my N64, which I got at launch.
But man, when I got the 64... playing Sm64 and Pilotwings 64 for the first time in 1996 is something I'll never forget. The beginning of a whole new era of 3D games, something that I haven't yet experienced on the other systems, which had some platformers, and some flight simulators, but not with that same graphical fidelity.
It wasn't until 1997 that I noticed PC games started matching up with N64.
Only games that were better than N64 games in 1996 were some arcade ones, like Sega or Namco's lastest state of the art cabs.

GameCube is a great system too, but it's basically just an N64 with better controls and graphics and worse versions of the same games. There are a few standouts like RE4 and F-Zero GX, but by and large, it saw all of the same major franchises (Mario, Zelda, Star Fox, Smash, etc) and almost all of them were worse than N64 equivalents. Just look at the gap in quality between SM64 and Sunshine, or SF64 and Assault. Also, it had a huge lack of games in particular genres. Much like the N64 it lacked RPGs, but to make matters worse, there were barely any good shooters, barely any good strategy games, barely any good sports games etc. I used to fucking adore my GCN, but in the long run, the N64 proved to be the better console.

>> No.4717309

>>4717237
I think the cube is better for niche standout games, like you said, there's less variety in genres and less games overall but I feel the games gcn did have were unique and colourful enough that they did the cube justice.
i always felt the gcn's strongsuits were artistic design and tight controls. metroid prime may not be the greatest fps but its world was rich and felt great to explore with controls that felt really really good once you became familiar with the controls. pikmin definitely wasnt the best rts but again its world and movement made it feel different and absorbing. the same thing can be said for it's premier racing game f-zero and even its premier fighting game you know the one.
gamecube had a morsel amount of games compared to n64 and certainly suffered for it but its heights as a console were absolutely divine

>> No.4717328

Although Sunshine wasn't as groundbreaking as Mario 64, I wouldn't call it worse. It's different, but I thought it was equally charming, and the water gun added an extra dimension to the game, making the game still feel new and fresh after SM64.

Wind Waker is imo better than OoT, but I'm sure many people will disagree. I do prefer MM over WW though, but again, they're mostly different rather than 'better' or 'worse'.

Smash is definitely an improvement over its N64 counterpart. As for Star Fox, yeah, you're right. Nintendo hasn't made good Star Fox games since the N64.

The Gamecube also has not one but two great Metroid games, which the N64 lacked. And you complain about its lack of shooting games, but the N64 only had two really great ones iirc (Perfect Dark and Goldeneye). The Gamecube had more, although some were multiplatform (RE4, Killer7, Timesplitters 2).

I'm not saying the Gamecube is better than the N64 but I think you're underestimating it.

You know, it's funny. Back in the day, even PlayStation gamers would at least recognize how many great games the N64 had. I remember my friends frothing at the mouth for Ocarina of Time and Goldeneye. Fast forward 20 years, and you have this veritable hoard of autistic 45 year old virgins trying to tell you that it had no games because they have penis envy over the fact it gets more praise than their little hipster box the Saturn, or the "winner" PSX. It begs the question: what kind of wretched, soulless, husk of a man can't derive joy from titles like Star Fox 64, Mario Kart 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Wave Race, Turok, Perfect Dark, and literally dozens of others? I'll tell you: a faggot. I'm sorry, but if you're going to pretend that playing SNES-tier JRPGs in 3D, knockoff me-too platformers and arcade ports is somehow the definition of a quality gaming experience, meanwhile pretending that the N64 has nothing of value, you are legitimately mentally retarded. Anyone who tries to argue from the viewpoint of the N64 not having plenty of good games is someone who arguing from inexperience, ignorance or pure anger.

And made less money since Nintendo was profitable on every unit sold, Sony lost $150+ on every unit thanks to the inclusion of a CD drive alone, and Nintendo reaped 70% of the profit from every game thanks to licensing and producing them in-house.

What games would those be? Ironically, if anything the PS1 was probably the only console of the gen with games that could physically hurt to look at. All the jittering polygons, warping textures, crooked lines, clipping and shimmering sure do look great, eh?
>Doesn’t matter.
Yes it does. Either you think the PS1 is a better console because it provided a better experience for the user, or you think it's a better console because it was more successful. Now which one provided a better consumer experience is highly debatable, but since the N64 made more money than PS1, that doesn't sound like the PS1 was very successful.
>Still a shitton more good choices than the nintendo “296 games” 64

Might just be a preference thing, but I’ll take warping textures over ugly blurry ones straight out of MSpaint and jittering polys if I can see more than fucking 5 of them on screen at a time and not have to rely on shitty prerendered sprites for half of my assets.

Lol no it's actually just a "bias thing", it's where you ignore how utterly shit PS1 games looked because PS1 was the only console you had growing up, whereas I not only had both consoles, but still have two eyes in 2018 and can see how wretched 99% of PS1 games look. Also, I wouldn't be talking about pushing polygons considering the PS1 could push about 180k and the N64 could push about 1 million.
>Like I said, more people wanted and bought the PSX, that alone should tell you which brought the better experience.
So then you'll admit box wine is superior to a $260 bottle of pinot noir simply because more people buy it, right?
>Money wise, Sony still raked in more money despite production costs as far as raw numbers show.
I like how you talk about needing intelligence to appreciate JRPGs and then you're too stupid to understand basic economics. Sales =/= profit my dude. I repeat: Sony lost over $150 on every console and made a much, much smaller profit margin on games sold than Nintendo did, because Nintendo had high licensing fees and manufactured their own games. You can't possibly be too much of a brainlet to understand this.

Lots of games sucked on both consoles, but one of the ways I always looked at it, was that Sony made game consoles, and Nintendo made a product that played video games. Both are similar, but Nintendo is almost a sub-set within the genre. It is an odd way to look at it, but Sony competes, and Nintendo just makes whatever they want. Both were excellent in their own right. I am not a Nintendo fanboy, as I like both system equally. If I was trapped on a desert island with my crt tv, and given the choice, I don't know which I would take. They both have their own merits. Nintendo had the fan following and support, and PSX was new to the market and created something from nothing. I used the N64 in group settings for Goldeneye or MK64, but when I wanted a deep RPG I would use my PSX. Not that N64 didn't have RPGs or that PSX was not a good party system....Just that they were different systems for different audiences. I could cherry pick this and that as a comparison, but there is no clear answer. One did some things better then the other and vice versa. Saturn was good at some things, but we could have done with out it, and I doubt anyone would notice. Load times sucked, but so did smaller carts. Both made the best of their pitfalls.

This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games. Retro gaming means consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games on platforms launched in 1999 and earlier. With the release of the 8th generation of consoles, the Sega Dreamcast will now be considered "retro", though the remainder of the sixth generation (Xbox, PS2, GameCube) will not.

It was when it came out, I totally agree. Though there were a few limitations, namely most games had to be limited to 32-128Mb, save for a few exceptions that used more expensive carts, e.g. Resident Evil 2 with a whopping 512Mb. It was a bummer in the wake of this new CD technology, but let's not forget how many devs tried to utilize as much of that 700MB as they could by cramming in a bunch of prerendered CGI cutscenes and shitty redbook audio. There really weren't many devs making good use of that extra space back then.

The PS1 did have a stellar library though - way more worthwhile titles than the N64 had. But I think the N64's most worthwhile games trump what the PS1 had to offer. Unless you were really into turn-based RPGs. (Even then, Paper Mario 64 is still my favorite of that genre).

I just wish we could figure out how to accurately emulate the damned thing without needing a fucking xeon to run it at full speed.
