Maybe I'm just a 5th gen baby or something, but the N64 is probably my favorite console. I can respect that other ones like the snes might have had more good games, but the n64 has my favorite ones.
A lot of the SNES games were only a cut easier than NES titles, and frankly I can't be assed to play something that difficult too often. I love Mega Man but I rarely play it because it's so demanding. Especially if the game has no saves or passwords.
I also hear a lot about how the N64 has 'awkward 3d graphics' and I can totally see where that's coming from, but I think that adds to the charm of it. Hard to describe.

It's both overrated and underrated at the same time.

Overrated by people who grew up playing games like Super Mario 64, OOT, Goldeneye, Mario Kart 64, Banjo-Kazooie and, while great games, hold it into a pedestal too much. Especially games like Banjo, I see a lot of people discussing it as of late, and I genuinely could never get into it, neither as a kid or as an adult.

Then, it's also underrated by a lot of people, probably as a contrarian reaction to those who love the N64 for popular games like the aforementioned, while completely ignoring the amount of not-so-popular games the N64 got in its lifetime, like Mystical Ninja, Mischief Makers, and personally one of my favorite games, at least form the whole 5th generation, Sin and Punishment.

So, you decide, are you a Nintendo fanboy who blindly loves the N64 for Mario and Banjo, or are you a stupid whinny kid who can't stand other people enjoying things?

I'm neither, idort has always been the way.

That said, the anti-N64 meme actually causes more N64 discussion, so if your intention is for people to stop liking the N64, you should avoid N64 discussion at all, either positive or negative. That's how consoles that aren't liked fade into obscurity. You don't see daily anti-CDi threads.

So I guess people do like the N64, while others get mad that some people like the N64.

Don't care about split-screen multi-player FPSes, wrestling games, or multi-player arcade-y racers?

Then yeah it basically sucks.

There are exceptions of course, but the N64's main problem was that it had way too narrow of a genre focus.

Personally I like it, but it's for a relatively small number of great games. The overall library is still lacking.

It really has more to do with the multi-player than anything. N64 was the console for kids who had sleepovers with three or more other kids every friday night.

Kids who were less social, or just not into split-screen multi-player, were all on the PS1. And of course anyone who wanted non-Pokémon RPGs or a decent selection of sports games.

If anything, JFG is always commented to be one of the most overlooked games from Rare. Everyone raves about Banjo or Goldeneye, even Perfect Dark, but JFG is kind of the less popular Rare N64 game along with Blast Corps. Funnily enough, both Blast Corps and JFG are the Rare games I liked the most on the N64, personally.

Nintendo used to be a respected and feared company in the video game market with the NES and SNES, and was the leader. The N64 (or rather the PS1) changed that forever. I say it's understandable to see how the N64 just can't compare to the NES or SNES, and is especially jarring to know that Nintendo is no longer the king player in the market. It's been over 20 years, but I still haven't accepted the Playstation as the dominant platform, though I do admit it has made Nintendo seemingly irrelevant nowadays.

It undeniably had the best RPGs, the best fighting games, the best racing games, and the best strategy games. Some of the Japanese imports, in particular, were pretty damn cutting-edge for their time.

What it lacked were party games, like Mario Kart, Goldeneye, and Smash Bros. But I never really cared, because I've always had little interest in such games. Why bother?

PSX also lacked FPS games, but that was irrelevant because that was the golden era of online PC FPS titles (Q2, HLDM, TFC, CS, etc).

Debatable. It had the best REALISTIC racing games by default since the N64 didn't have any and only had "arcade atyle" racers, but overall the N64 had MK64, FZX, Cruisin', etc. Great selection with some majorly strong standouts that made up in quality where it lacked in quantity in comparison to the PS1.

>>2393352
The "people only buy Nintendo because it's Nintendo" argument is bullshit. Nintendo is a joke of a company that no one takes seriously. The system sold because of Mario 64 and multiplayer, simple as that. That's why it didn't sell in japan, because japan doesn't like 3D platformers and doesn't give a flying fuck about multiplayer.

Listen up kids, stop trying to pretend that you're more mature or simply more experienced by saying that N64 was a piece of shit. I've been playing videogames since when the first Atari pc games were released, and trust me, I can say that N64 was the best console anyone of my generation had ever seen until PS1 came out. I still remember that day when my dear friend invited me to his home to play Pro evolution soccer on the N64. You kids can't obviously understand the amazing feelings we had while playing for the first time, on our tv screens, the funniest 3d games evere created.

I think most people actually feel that way. It's just that here (and in other pretendo fag heavy hellholes) the minority are VERY outspoken. They endlessly shitpost, samefag and rant like absolute loons, stating opinions as facts. And that can give the impression that something is more liked than it is.

I don't really dislike the N64, but it's more of a niche console. It had maybe 10 "must play" games, but the PSX has over 200, easily. There's just no comparison, honestly.

It's like people who liked the PS3 over the 360. They are entitled to their opinion, and they had decent points, but they also missed out on over 90% of the best games of the gen.

That's what being an N64 fan is, honestly.
You like a few really good games, so you readily overlook the sheer volume of awesome shit on other consoles in order to cling on to your desperate fantasy. And you obsessively play those 10 gems for the rest of your days, totally oblivious to what you missed out on.

Eh, PS1 probably has about 30 "must play" games, maybe more if you're a big JRPG fan (i'm not a big fan of JRPGs of that era, however, I prefer either older, or more recent RPGs).

I can probably count the same amount of "must play" games in all 3 main consoles of 5th gen.
You can tell me that you like lesser known PS1 games and I have my own favorites too, but when it comes down to it, the actual "must play" are only a few.

What you guys don't understand is that /vr/ also has older guys, a lot of us don't care about your own childhood console war expansion on the internet. When the 5th gen started, I was already earning my own money and owned all 3 consoles (and PC), I kind of know the catalogues of all 3 consoles very well.

N64 is overrated, but also underrated by Nintendo detractors.
PS1 is also highly overrated. Damn, the amount of shovelware I had to swim through in order to find a few decent games back in the day.... good thing my PS1 was chipped and I didn't spend too much money on most of them, anyway.

Probably the only console that wasn't overrated back then was the Saturn, because of how awful the marketing and handling of it outside of Japan was.

Right now the console war shitposting focus are the kids born in the 90s who grew up with either the PS1 or the N64.

Banjo Kazooie felt like the only goal was to get everything. Yeah, in Mario you defeated bosses to get stars and in Banjo you defeats bosses for Jiggies but it felt more... substantial? in Mario.

Maybe it's just how I look at them, but Mario felt like a game with more depth than Banjo although it's hard for me to really explain why when I think about it.

No, it's not overrated. The games are always what received praise, not the system architecture, appearance, or way it performs.

It could have been another Virtual Boy even the library had been any less compelling than it turned out to be.

In an alternate scenario that I grew up with the 64 and had to emulate psx instead, I would have missed much more, as there would be way too much stuff to catch up, and PSX isos are much bigger and less accessible (at the time) then 64 roms.

I still think the PSX has a lot more obscure (and not obscure) gems though. I can't imagine myself growing up without things like Sotn, RE3, KOF, and that cool Spiderman game, to name a few of the top of my head.

The Earthbound community is already on its third generation of fans since the emulation revival.

So no, you're only half right. You have the reaction to nostalgia casuals, but you also have a system that just wasn't that great overall.

Born in 1982 here. I got to experience every major Nintendo console and I think the N64 has the overall "worst" library simply because it lacked variety when compared to the PS1. Just my opinion though. The GameCube is actually my favorite Ninty console.

Well it's more of the storage space not being worth the expense. N64 probably had more raw power for 2D than Saturn or PSX, but Saturn's 2D was good enough to do pretty much everything so there was no point.

no, but its hard to go back too and play.

I was entering 5th grade when this came out and it was my everything in middle school.

after college i tried getting back into it because gamestop was emptying their n64 trash and I got some AAA games for $10 a pop back in 09. Hard... so hard, idk what it is. Its not the controller, its something abou the graphics and game play. Its like that transition from 2D to 3D made for some bare bones kind of playing.

its like going from the quality on the genesis/snes and looking at sega Cd, 3DO, or the jaguar.

Playstation went thru that phase. Think FFVII and then look at FFVIII.

Cartridge space. You need a lot of it to hold animation frames for all of the characters in the fighting game. Marvel vs Capcom is about 47MB, around the same size as Pokémon Stadium 2, one of the later carts. So it's certainly possible on N64, but it would just need to be on a damn expensive cartridge. Combined with Nintendo's high licensing fees and the controller not really being suitable to fighting games, and you don't have much of a justification for releasing 2D fighters.

The N64 had about the same amount of RAM as the Saturn though.

Because at the time 2d games were out of vogue. Anyone around in the 5th gen probably remembers how big of a thing 3d gaming was then, nobody talked about 2d games anymore, at least in the US. It's part of the reason the N64 and PS1 did so much better than the Saturn here.

Everything else is incredibly meh. The only reason I give a shit about the N64 gauntlet is because it does something the others don't let you do, which is choose when to use your items.

There really isn't anything else super fun on the system. The games that are commonly hailed as amazing like SM64, DK64, Banjo-Kazooie are collectathons and generally more tedious and boring then fun. Perfect Dark and Golden Eye have aged horribly, and most of the other 3D platformers and action games on the system are pretty awful to control, due to easily one of the worst, least intuitive controller designs I've ever seen.

I liked it decently enough gameplay wise, but its pretty jarring. I respect MM more for trying to do some things fundamentally different

Haven't read much of this thread, more of the same. I guess I'm not so invested in video games anymore to care or get angry about opinions.

I grew up with the PS1 and everyone had a N64, could never understand why people loved it so much other than having grown up with it. There were a few alright games I guess, but it was never my thing no matter how much I tried to get into it. PS1 is way better, I know it's due mostly to nostalgia, but I was a poorfag so I didn't discover many games on the system until later and I'm not really a fan of the 5th gen anyway.

I think it's appropriately rated considering the overwhelming number of people who say it's overrated.

Honestly it's a fine console. It was probably the last console that actually offered something different than the competitor (lack of load times, texture filtering, etc) aside from the wii (but it didn't offer much to the games themselves, just a waggle stick that was improperly and under utilized).

Anyway. It's a fine console with a decent amount of good games and a bunch of shitty games. Probably has the worst lineup of first party Nintendo games though. Mario 64 gets pretty clusterfucky in the later levels, and Yoshis Story is a joke... Introduced Mario Sports titles, and Mario kart 64 isn't really much more fun than the SNES version (though it added a bunch of features that were much improved in later titles).

Still, it has Perfect Dark, the Zeldas, Goldeneye (for multiplayer), and Doom64... Conkers... Turok 2... Decent amount of good games.

Not at all a fine console (and I still own one) the textures were ludicrously rudimentary owing to Nintendo's bizarre loyalty to the cartridge format, not to mention the production costs and commensurate game prices, but it did have some really great, important games on it.

Different strokes for different folks.

N64 had some better rendering techniques and blah blah blah. PS1 is better in my opinion, but there was nothing wrong with owning and n64 at the time if you could afford it.

That's not actually true though.
Plenty of PSX owners I know also own and play older games and even have N64s. They just prefer PSX games. And the fact that you apparently cant handle that is awesome BTW.

>> No.2401526

>>2397861
The fact remains that the PSX just has more must play games. And the N64 had just as much shovelware and rushed ports, honestly.

And, as I said in my first post, N64 fans really are nostalgiafags who obsess over a handful of AAA games endlessly, TOTALLY oblivious to the world around them. MORE than happy to tell everyone why their taste is "superior".

PSX fans are dicks at worst. We point out things that people don't want to acknowledge and argue with man-children

Also, JRPGs get a bad rep these days. They're some of the most innovative games on all platforms they've appeared on (until recently, anyway) and without them, some non RPGs would never have been made, because the ideas that spawned them had to come from somewhere.
So counting out an entire genre and set of subgenres because YOU don't like them is silly. I don't like Mario 64 of similar colectathons, but I still count them on the N64 "must play" list. Because it's stupid not to. The fans LOVE the fucking thing, and it's widely hailed as one of the greatest games ever. And I can see quality in games that I happen not to enjoy playing (being that I'm not autistic.) So eat a dick on that one, bud
Oh, and age doesn't work as an argument. I started gaming in the mid 80's too. I was just younger than you. I probably played all the same games you did back then, so stuff it grandpa.

I will admit to being biased to the PSX in general, but there's a fucking reason for that. I owned both consoles back in the day, and I genuinely enjoyed the PSX more.

It had more genres, more sub-genres, more games in general and more FUN.

And no, I don't count shovelware in my "200 must play games" claim (though it's admittedly a bit high of a number). To me, shovelware are sequels made with the same engine and cheapy shit games made with no money. And most of THOSE came out either very early or very late in the PS1s life cycle.

And honestly, I count Tekken 1 as shovelware. So don't even try to argue with me on this.

That's because Saturn was not a common console in the mid 90s households in the west. I had a Saturn (and also N64 and PS) but I didn't know anyone else who did, everyone had either N64 and PS.

The people that browse 4chan now, who are mostly 20-something guys, are people who grew up with either the PS or the N64, and need to shit on each other, you know, because that's how people behave in the internet.

Being an idort is actually kind of boring, because you read all that nonsense console war stuff and wonder... why? all consoles have something to offer. Why shit on the competition?

And before you say RE2 on N64 is bad, no, it's actually better than the PS1 version. (Although Dreamcast or Gamecube versions are probably the best overall).

As for Wipeout, you've got Wipeout 64, but it doesn't matter because N64 has F-Zero X anyway.

>Only games I still remember are Mario 64, Fighter's Destiny and Golden Eye.

Even though this is the most blatant display of bait posting ever/some faggot fishing for 2 million guaranteed replies and getting it, I'd like to address a few things because you tried so hard

The N64 has never been overrated. Most people don't have enough shitty words in their vocabulary to describe it, it bombed hard and was followed by the Gamecube which also bombed hard. Despite that, the '64 had a handful of ground breaking, generation defining games which you could only play on THAT machine. That's where Nintendo maintained their grace.

What are frequently "overrated" though are the games on it, most often Super Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time, which I don't think are overrated either, because if you were anywhere from the ages of 5 to 15 during the time that pure and unadulterated magic was bottled and shipped out to stores your fucking brain broke a hundred different ways trying to cope with what you were playing as you foamed at the mouth and your eyes spun around in clockwise motions. There was quite simply NOTHING like as fluid, free, gorgeous and visually and technically compelling as Super Mario 64 at the time. And it was a launch title to boot.

NES and SNES era felt strong because they took the medium to the limit and basically made the best shit out of 2D pixels.

nooo you dolt! the ps1 was better, it had the CDs (was so fun looking at the loading screen sometimes) and also great quality games such as Final Fantasy VII and MGS (not that you'd know those games, since they're only for actual hardcore gamers, unlike Banjo and Mario who are for kiddies ha ha ha)

Yoshi story, 007, bk, bk2, conkers bad fur day, thps (and its sequels). plus I loved how each player had there own memory card. and how there was no fucking big ass power brick dangling between two cords. yeah n64 rocked and still does. p.s. the word "faggot" is so 2007 so get with the now lmfao

It also had expensive-as-all-fuck-to-produce cartridges that didn't have even enough space for high-quality textures (The horrible texture-filter "hides" it.) or CD-quality audio.

Banjo feels like it was designed to be a babysitter, keeping kids occupied with mindless fetch quests. Is there any interesting gameplay / platforming in this title?

It does play smooth and still looks alright, I'll give it that. Sound design is on par too.

SM64 offers more freedom behind Mario's movement and his sense of momentum is really thrilling. BK's got platforming in it, but it feels less like a platformer as there are fewer movement options for Banjo than there are for Mario. Plus his moveset is cumulative and develops over the course of the game, whereas Mario has everything but a few hats right from the get-go.

>> No.2411521

As a console? Yes. Because you can't name a console that's good at all. PC is not a console, mind you.
But if you're talking about the games it had, while most were average to bad, the few games that were good turned out to be damn great classics.

>> No.2411541

Aye, the momentum behind Mario is key. Banjo & K feels more similar to games with tank controls.

Just walking up to trees in Mario and watching birds fly out in natural patterns... the mushroom kingdom has never felt as good before or there after to me.

That's a good one, m8. Maybe it's easier to remember the goliaths like Zelda and Mario on the N64, but there's hardly anything else worth mentioning in the N64 library that the Gamecube didn't already improve on.

My first console was the Super Nintendo. I played a ton of the Disney games developed by Capcom.

If all you want out of a system are platformers, then I guess the N64 would be a better choice. But even I wouldn't say that Rare's games have aged well enough to still be called good nowadays.

Am I being reverse trolled or something? Would you rather me straight out call those games shit?

I can at least say that Banjo-Kazooie is certainly better than Banjo-Tooie, if only because the sequel had too much scope but not enough focus. The levels were larger, sure, but they managed to be less dense than the ones in Banjo-Kazooie. Not to mention that more of the Jiggies in the game came down to mini game shenanigans instead of through actual feats of platforming. Not that Banjo-Kazooie ever demanded much from the player in that regard either, but Tooie just handled it poorly.

Donkey Kong 64 just took things even further down the wrong direction by limiting who can collect what while still further ostracizing the game from the platformer genre. I'd sooner call this an Adventure game than what I would associate as a platformer. Not that the "Adventure" genre is well defined by any means, but it certainly isn't a rewarding experience as a platformer.

Games don't age.

Recently there's been a lot of PS2 and GC talk too. And any fucking criticism about is just met with "ya well the games are better" shit.

Both are pretty fucking shit in their own way. GC's lack of games outside of multiplayer ones and PS2's lazily designed games.

Ya GC had some good games but it's only slightly better than the Wii really.
