And again: The ruling is by now not really about things that are several decades old but to keep this board niche. This is essential to keep the little quality the board still has, it has already decreased compared to when it was still new as anyone surely will agree, opening it up will be the complete and utter end.

>N64 was a weak offering with extremely limited appeal
Each system had a target audience, and for the most part has nailed it. My parents had n64. I had a PSX & n64. My mother still tries to play MK64 at least a half hour every day. I would love to take her to a tournament, just to watch a 65 year old grandmother kick zoomer ass. She may have more time on that game then some people have been alive, and I am not even joking.

But for casual and party style games, n64 was a treat. PSX nailed the single player element and was the system of egotists and elitists. N64 what the plebs and normies did when they had an IRL friend over. I had them both, and was working/living on my own when they came out. I still have my psx. Gave n64 & games to my sister because I got a better one w/everdrive.

both are fucking awesome systems. I guess it depends on how many siblings and/or friends you had to compete with also. We had a large group of friends that would be happy with Mvc2 for days straight or Mk64. And by "days", I mean 2-3 straight days. We did a NBA Hangtime 64 weekend, and found out it has some pretty tight 2 player pass/dunk dynamics. Its not just 2d ping pong.

My friend had every system except a neogeo, and he loved fighters, so of course he had every sega saturn gimmic, and later the dream cast for the Marvel series. Dreamcast is not retro. I hate that idea. If it runs code veronica, it is not retro.

not really
most companies threw out their 5th gen assets because remasters weren't a thing they needed to prepare for
you could easily take FFVII, change the rendering resolution, update the models and re-render the backgrounds. which is exactly what modders do.

case in point: Capcom didn't have the original background models (or was otherwise too lazy) to re-render them in widescreen/hi-res for REmake remaster.

eh, that's arguable. not saying I dislike the Xbox, I love it, but

>the best version of multiplats
PS2 had a robust library of shaders that couldn't easily be replicated at the time.
games that made heavy use of those shaders looked like shit on the Xbox. San Andreas is probably the best example.

>a small handful of decent exclusives
PS2 spoiled people with SotC, MGS3, FFX, etc.

It does seem like there were some good N64 wrestling games but I had gotten out of wrestling during the 90s until a girl got me back in, funnily enough.

Wave Race was actually more advanced than anything on arcades, mainly because jetski racing was very niche.
And F-Zero didn't get an arcade until non-retro times.
You just have funny console war mindset. N64 was for people who wanted to play 3d games and multiplayer. I'm sad you grew up to be like this in your last stretch of your life.

This is only relevant if you're underage and only getting into the system right now, people like the Dreamcast because 90% of their 'multis' were exclusive back then. Might as well say that the Megadrive barely has any exclusive because half of its library is in some shitty modern compilation.

Sony made the PlayStation's best feature to be the video codec, it performed really good quality FMV for the time, superior to the Saturn (which needed an add-on in order to get better video resolution). But in terms of actual capabilities both 2D and 3D, the Playstation was mediocre (not bad, just mediocre).
They didn't design the system for games specifically, but more as a media thing, focusing on video reproduction capabilities. Same logic was applied to the PS2.

I think both Sega and Nintendo fans accept the fact that PS1 won that generation by far. Doesn't mean Saturn and N64 aren't worth playing.
