Can we talk about what a worthless hunk of shit this is?

You can play Mario, Zelda and Rareware games on it. Plus Treasure managed to make some OK games but yeah for the most part it was terrible.

More like all the N64 haters are 23-25 year olds with serious childhood traumas. Probably abusive parents and not being able to play all the vidya they wanted as kids.

I was an idort back then. I used my Saturn N64 more than my PS1. All dem great multiplayer games on N64, plus the single player games. And of course, discovering japanese gems over the years, like Sin and Punishment makes owning a N64 worth it, especially since emulation for it is awful.

>>2350172

Probably

I was working at Babbage's when the N64 came out. I was able to play all the games I wanted. My apartment was a major party pad and exactly 3 games ever got played on N64. Mario, Goldeneye and Zelda and now Goldeneye is pretty lame.

N64 carts were too goddamn expensive. Anybody who shelled out $70 for some typical piece of shit at release was rightfully angry.

You only played these 3 games? Mario is not even multiplayer.
You could have played stuff like, I dunno, all the Midway racing games, or the WWF wrestling games are also pretty good (AKI is a god-tier wrestling games developer).

And you played Zelda, but not Goemon?

I dunno, not sure if I buy your little babbage story.

>N64 carts were too goddamn expensive. Anybody who shelled out $70 for some typical piece of shit at release was rightfully angry.

The only shit game I bought for N64 and regretted was Sub Zero Mythologies. But that's my own fault for being a MK fanboy as a kid, I kind of knew it was shit.

I dig it
I'm starting to think you're actually a huge N64 fanboy and just want to shitpost to generate N64 discussion and probably try to catch on with a meme or something. Sadly, /vr/'s people are too old to enjoy memes anymore, which is why they left /v/ principally, but you're trying at least.

I only had a N64 (and PC)

Is there anything on PS1OneX that I should check out or is it all jaggedy early 3D "you had to be there" stuff

Oh and SotN is Worstlevania so don't say that

I was a hell of a lot more interested in playing Gran Turismo than Rush and Goldeneye was THE multiplayer game. Basically since we were 90s young adults we shunned everything kid-focused or we might have played Mario Party.

The main issue was that Playstation games were practically half the price so everything that there was a Playstation alternative to, we played that instead.

If you can still appreciate N64 graphics you shouldn't have a problem with PS1 games. Check the /v/ recommended games wiki.

>> No.2350265

>>2350254
I'm a big PS1 fan, but the graphics are a little bit more rough, in my opinion (which is funny, because when I was a kid, I tricked myself into thinking the PS1 graphics were better since it had CDs and FMV).

When I play Crash Bandicoot, for example, I feel less certain as to how close I can get to an enemy without getting killed than I do playing Mario 64.

Yeah. It's super hard to find any decent 64 titles without paying a fortune. It's the only console I don't really bother collecting for because of that.

I thought Sega Saturn's prices were way higher than N64, especially US games (and japanese games are starting to be more and more expensive with time).

How much does it cost, say, Mischief Makers or Mystical Ninja nowdays?

>> No.2350308

The nice thing about the N64 is that the library is so small you can be sure you own every good game it has that you like.
You can feel like you have a full collection.

I also think the console is worth it more than other better consoles because of how bad N64 emulation is.

>> No.2350310

>>2350304
They're really not that bad, most are around $10. Mario and Zelda go for a little more, but you can almost always find them for cheaper in secondhand shops.

>> No.2350314

>>2350304
Around $20 I'd say. Not too bad, but any of the big titles are going to be way higher than that.

I don't care so much about the Mario or Zelda N64 games. I have prettu much all of them on virtual console.
What I would really want is Conker, and unfortunately that's pretty much the Earthbound of N64.

As far as games libraries go

PS1 > Saturn >N64 > 3DO > Jaguar >Amiga CD32.

I mean if you loved Nintendo games sure, everyone loves popping in Mario 64 and Banjo Tooie every now and then but back in the day, waiting for those good games was hard. Harder than being a Saturn owner.

Atleast with the Saturn you could import CPS2 ports and excellent JRPGs but with the N64, not even the imports were there.

It was a fat worse than death.
