Why do people think this console was good

[Anonymous No.2865083]

>>2865081

Maybe because it had good games?

>Nintendo has an idea
>creates the world's worst joystick known to man
>Sony after creating a totally reasonable and good controller based off of established ergonomic designs decides to kick it up a notch
>rumble AND 360 stick movement

And the best part is
The Dual Shock stick doesn't fucking break after one game of Mario Party 2

Honestly the largest bullet I've ever dodged aside from that one time I nearly got hit by a car - I'm so glad I didn't get a N64 until it was about to be completely phased out at the retail level

There is nothing wrong with the console in my opinion, might get some hate for this, but its the games that suck in my opinion. Yes Zelda, Mario and Prefect Dark were good but the reality is developers didn't see a market for 2D games at the time and it led to god awful 3D games. For example superman 64 and Castlevania which would have been great had they just stuck to 2D.

Making this problem worse is the lack of a disc drive would led to low quality textures and so on. There are few games I like on N64 but I am not a hater, I grew up with the console, this is just what it is the way I see it.

[Anonymous No.2865147]

>>2865119

so you just wanted to start a Sony vs Nintendo thread.

honestly I got a PS1 first back in 1995, but I also got a N64 when it came out in 1996. If you didn't play games like Super Mario 64 or Wave Race 64 when they were new in '96, you kind of missed out, I'm sorry for you.

What year did you get your N64? 2002?

[Anonymous No.2865150]

Superman 64 was a shitty western shovelware title, there's lots like those on PS1 as well. Bubsy 3D is probably worse than Superman 64, but there are actually worse games than those 2, Bubsy and Superman just turned into memes so we know about them, but there's countless others that are actually worse, especially on PS1 which is shovelware central.

Castlevania 64 isn't really as bad as people say, it's not a perfect game, but it has its redeeming qualities, I personally like it although I could understand some people having trouble with it, especially because of the camera (but it isn't that bad, most 3D games of that era had trouble with the camera).

As for 2D games on N64, I really like Mischief Makers and Bangai-O.

[Anonymous No.2865154]

OP is underage as fuck. N64 is still the very best console to play with friends.

Why don't you invent a time machine and then go back to 1998 to start your console war, will you?

[Anonymous No.2865170]

Its pretty medíocre. Third party support sucked, the controller sucks, and there was a way better alternative at the time. Also, early 3D games aged horribly.

[Anonymous No.2865181]

>>2865170
>and there was a way better alternative at the time

but the PS1 wasn't an alternative to the N64, it was very different.

Saturn and PS1 are more similar to each other (and Saturn got the better arcade ports, but we all know how it got fucked on the west).

As for 3rd party sucking, yeah I dunno, Square abandoned Nintendo, but N64 still got a lot of great racing games, wrestling games, and it got support from Treasure.

Both Saturn and N64 got 3 great Treasure exclusive games each, while PS1 only got 1 exclusive (which isn't even one of their best, Rakugaki Showtime, which stayed in japan) and a shoddy port of Silouhette Mirage (which got fucked by Working Designs in the US).

All in all, I wouldn't say the N64 outright sucked. It's your opinion and all, but I don't agree with it.

what

[Anonymous No.2865197]

>>2865193
Is there a problem here?

PS1 could hold 700 MB of data on a game

N64 could hold 64 MB of data on a game

You can't tell me the quality of textures were unaffected by this.

[Anonymous No.2865205]

>>2865197

The problem I have with PS1's textures is the pixelation and, most of all, the wobbliness of them. There isn't a single straight line, ever. It's always shaking.

N64 has a lot of blur, but some developers would work some really nice textures anyway.

Mystical Ninja starring Goemon and its sequel looks great, and it doesn't even use the extra 4MB ram pak.

Anyway textures on 3D games didn't start getting good until the 6th gen. It was all very simplistic during 5th gen. And I think it's not necessarily bad, I think games like Jumping Flash or Super Mario 64 still look good, they have that early 3D charm IMO.

[Anonymous No.2865213]

>>2865154
You're not wrong about the N64 being the best console to play with friends. In fact, a friend of mine picked up a Gamecube for this reason. It's the reason why Smash is so popular. In fact, one of the only good N64 games is Smash Bros.

>>2865147
Around there, yeah, 2002 is about right. It was definitely Post 9/11. I did play SM64 but even when I played SM64 at its debut I thought it was super shitty and lacked the tight controls of SMW or even the earlier Mario games. That's due to the untouched snow that was 3D gaming. But you're right, PSX has shovelware up the ass. To be honest, Sheep and Croc are hot garbage, I will admit this.

>tfw had a banana controller but a jew friend borrowed it and traded it in along with some games

ISHYGDDT

[Anonymous No.2865235]

>>2865230
Why do you want a select button? All you need is enter/start. The six buttons are the best for fighting games, but I wouldn't expect anyone who had a PS or N64 to care about those.

[Anonymous No.2865239]

>>2865224
I do enjoy it but the travel on the analogue stick is a bit short compared to the others. They fixed this with the DC pad.

[Anonymous No.2865241]

>>2865239
But the DC pad had a shit d-pad.

[Anonymous No.2865243]

>>2865081
It was okay but they cucked it with the controller and cartridges otherwise it had the potential to be even better

Its like putting square wheels on a ferrari that only has enough gas to drive for 10 minutes

[Anonymous No.2865248]

>>2865241
Might as well just use the non 3D saturn pad if you want to play a dpad game.

[Anonymous No.2865251]

>>2865218

Similar experience, a jew friend borrowed Mischief Makers and my 1.0 version of Ocarina of Time and sold them.
I got Mischief Makers back years later, and I have GC and 3DS versions of OOT, but still.

I'm not anti-semitic but god damn, what a fucking jew.

[Anonymous No.2865258]

>>2865248
Dpads can still be useful in 3D games, kiddo.

[Anonymous No.2865260]

>>2865235
That's a fair point and I will fully admit to shitposting although I genuinely find the two-row three button layout to be confusing and weird but considering the Saturn's arcade port releases this makes sense

[Anonymous No.2865262]

>>2865258
Yeah, you really need that accurate dpad to move through the menus.

Anyway, I like the N64. I also like PS1 and Sega Saturn. Sue me.

>n64 not good
Hindsight is 20/20 because every kid(including me) wanted a 64. It was the ultimate party game machine back when people actually got together to play games. Sure we can look back now and say it's library was weak compared to the PS and even the Saturn but god damn did it have a good handful of the best 5th gen games ever made. Even back then we thought the controller was awkward but nobody Bitches to much cuz games

[Anonymous No.2865291]

It was pretty good.

Was good. The controller wasn't definetely that good, but this was back when nintendo still had enough third party support and of course a great first-party library.
