You must have had some hands-me-down carts in very bad conditions. Clean the pins.
N64 carts are very unlikely to have that kind of pin contact problem, though, it was mostly more common on NES, not as much in SNES/Genesis, and definitely almost not a problem on N64. I think you're bullshitting.

I got duped into buying an N64 back in 1998, because we had a SNES before.
Big mistake. At the time, distribution was terrible in my country, I couldn't trade games with friends because they all had PSX or Saturn and games were more expensive.
Yeah, Super Mario 64 and Zelda OOT were great, but little else was worthy in my opinion.

Now, if that wasn't bad enough, I now can't stand looking at the games for it compared to the 32-bit consoles, my PAL console only supports composhite, and the best games for the system have been ported to DS/3DS or have Virtual Console releases that at least are 480p.

If I could go back in time, I would unironically pick the Saturn and a Game Boy Color instead of an N64.

Carts were far more consistent than disks. disk based games back then still suffered from long loadtimes, becoming unreadable with a moment of carelessness, and required the game system to have a loud motor that would wear out over time because of certain games that abused the hell out of the system if you were unlucky enough to own them.
During the N64, there was little room for video scenes or nice audio, but compression technology advanced rapidly by, and with modern consoles the amount of a game needs to run is seen as less impressive and more as an annoyance since even physical media games require 90 gig patches only because the audio is needlessly uncompressed.

I don't understand the fanaticism surrounding this console either. It didn't have a lot of good games. Compared to PS1 the library was tiny and expensive. By the time it came out, P5 pentium was already out for 3 years and cheap, PC gaming was becoming affordable.

It has a bunch of design issues too, and a lot of the games didn't have a good framerate despite having the advantage of cartridge. The controller's center of gravity sucks, it feels like playing an intellivision. Most of the third party games it had were ported to other consoles and PC. It had too many manchild games, Super Smash Bros was one of the cringiest games I've ever played and it created a cancerous fanbase.

Maybe that's the reason N64 succeeded. It's made for children and manchildren. It's full of nostalgia. It brought happiness for the manchild nintendo worshipers, even though it brought disappointment for everyone else.

The reason Smash is actually so good is because the whole proof-of-concept development period went by before they even decided it was going to be a Nintendo crossover game. As you probably already know, it was going to be a sentai/tokusatsu-ish game with original characters.
About the fanbase, I agree but then again most if not all fanbases are "cringy". Yes, your favorite game also has a shameful fanbase.

Zoomer here, I was alive when the N64 was relevant but my first console was the gamecube. I recently purchased an N64 along with 4 games as a father’s day present but have had time to try the games myself before I make the drive over this weekend.
Easily my favorite has been DK64. The game is charming and I was able to get used to the controller pretty quickly. Honestly, the only times that I wish there were a second analog stick is when I have to walk across a narrow platform, that shit’s tedious as fuck. I like that the cartridge is a different color from the others too (it was half the reason I bought the game, though needing to buy the expansion pak fucking blowed).
Close second is Perfect Dark (glad for that expansion pak!). I gotta say it, first person shooters need two analog sticks if they’re going to be on a console (of course the best way to play an FPS will be always be with a keyboard and mouse). There’s no way to properly aim while moving, you have to stop and fiddle with the joystick in order to line up shots, it’s like RE4 with down syndrome. My best results came with using a machine gun of some kind and just shooting in the vague direction of the enemies and letting auto-aim do the rest. I like everything else about the game besides the controls. The spycam drone is an interesting idea but the datalink thing is a pointless and unnecessary extra step for unlocking terminals.
The other two games are sports titles I thought he would like; I played them just long enough to make sure they worked.
My conclusion: in an age where Steam and my PS4 like to randomly update various games and make me wait a lot before actually playing them, I do appreciate the N64’s famed lack of loading screens and wait times. The blocky character models aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but honestly they aren’t that distracting, what’s worse to me is the frequent use of fuzzy sprites in lieu of models (mainly for gates and such), those are garish.

>though needing to buy the expansion pak fucking blowed
the game actually came with the pak
funny thing about DK64 is that it only needed the pak because of a programming fuck-up
the game actually wasn't designed to use it, but due to a memory leak, the game crashes after a while, and they ran out of time to fix it, so they were forced to just require the expansion pak instead, which gives the game more memory to leak into. it doesn't fix the problem, but makes it take long enough to crash to not be much of a problem

[Anonymous No.6511575]

>>6511556
>the game actually came with the pak
In 1999, yes. But I was referring to me, a week ago, when I bought the game on its own (just the cartridge) and discovered it wouldn’t run without the pak. I didn’t even know what this was, I purposefully did not look up much about the game (other than “it is good”) because I wanted to go into it “blind”. Well, I was more so blind-sighted when I was greeted by plain text on a black screen, which for a second I honestly thought was the N64’s version of the BSOD, telling me to put in this piece of plastic I didn’t own yet in order to make the game run.
That crash story is funny. I guess nowadays they’d just patch it after release. So many games in the last five years are released in virtually unplayable states before a patch comes out which fixes them.
What’s the most amount of time I can play DK64 for in one sitting before it crashes? And is it the only N64 game like this?

It was always their MO though, "lateral thinking with withered technology." When Nintendo strays from it it's not as lucrative for them. The Wii is widely considered to be a souped up GameCube right? Despite being behind the times when it came out it was wildly successful due to gimmicks and marketing. Same applies to the Switch. They had to justify the existence of their product in an age where parents would just as soon buy their kids an iPad.

Switch is weak but modern technology. Wii and Wii U were weak AND old so modern engines couldn't be downscaled. Wii could have been just as cheap but with a more modern weak GPU like the Radeon X300 or X1300 and 128MBs RAM and the Wii U with a Radeon 5000-6000 series DX11 GPU.

Switch is one of the best systems Nintendo has ever made and one of the reasons there are third party games is the relatively modern SoC.

They benefited big time from Nvidia trying to make something out of the shield. The tablets didn't do much and the shield TV is a slightly successful niche product.

[Anonymous No.6517365]

>Wii and Wii U were weak AND old so modern engines couldn't be downscaled
I've always found this argument sort of bullshit. You can scale down just about any game down to a weaker console, except maybe those which rely on physics.

That cut-down Dead Rising port to Wii was more of a conscious choice to make the game casual than a necessity. Hell, they could have kept every single zombie in just by downgrading the graphics sufficiently, even into pre-rendered zombie sprites if they had to. And Call of Duty 4 did get a straight port onto the Wii eventually.

The only legitimate argument is incompatible graphical formats. It's true that the Wii's GPU used a pixel shader format (TEV) that was incompatible with anything modern. But that argument doesn't apply to the Wii U and its DX10 CPU. Nothing in DX11 is *that* essential. And don't forget, 360/PS3 got plenty of ports of PS4/Xbone games. The PS3 in particular had a GPU so antiquated that it didn't support unified shaders.

of course there is some tricks involved, the ps2 can't really handle full detail models with complex ai for all 1,000 of those enemies, but it's not like you need much out of literal zombies
you only actually have maybe 10 enemies closest to you actually directly engaging with you at a time, with the majority just kind of moving like a swarm, and yes, the distant ones are just billboards, though it's really not easy to tell in practice, it does looks impressive

I get what you mean, with the Switch almost being an off-the-shelf product, but I don’t think Nintendo actually designed any of the internal hardware in the likes of the N64 and GameCube even though neither of those were off the shelf. Obviously they designed the cases and the controllers, etc, and would have set strict lists of technical requirements (the N64 *has* to use cartridges, and be sold at this particular price point, etc) but they weren’t made in-house otherwise.

Contrast that to the SNES where Nintendo did I think design the parts in-house though in cooperation with Ricoh.

The no programming capability and not being able to copy games and share them with your friends parts weren't exactly true. Piracy and demo scenes went hand in hand. They existed on 16 bit consoles. Copier hardware was expensive but if you wanted lots of games it paid for itself. You still needed a computer if you wanted to learn to code for your console but it was quite active with tools being made and shared.

It was worth it if you really loved playing lots of games. Whenever you find those devices on sale almost always it comes with a massive library of disks.

We take it for granted these days because it's so easy to just load every game ever for a console onto one SD card and play it on a cheap flash cart.

Genuine question: why is it always Sony fans in these threads?
Same with Saturn threads, there's always Sony fans shitting it up.
If they have so many games to play on their playstations, why aren't they playing them instead of obsessing about other systems that aren't playstation?

yall should rly watch a video called "the difference between the n64 and the ps1" and you'll start understanding why they are fundamentally different in the way games were made and have different hardware limitations, which is expressed in their games back then. the ps1 had access to more memory because of cds but couldnt acess it as fast. it led to games like ff VII and crash, where everything is divided by levels and layers. the n64 had less memory but could acess it with the blink of an eye, hence why constant flow games like sm64 and oot were possible, which were far ahead of anything in their time and basically defined that a proper 3d game is for decades to come. here I am in 2020 and mario is still swagging on these clunky ass videogame characters with shit controls

Not at all actually. N64 analog had reliability issues, terrible durability, and wasn't as good as the dual shock. There's a reason all modern consoles use the same potentiometer design as the dual shock analog, even gamecube controller.

Saturn 3D circle pad came out before dualshock.
Also, while you're right about the reliability issues of the N64 stick, it still has more precision and less dead zones than the dualshock, which I think was what anon was referring to.

[Anonymous No.6520223]

>>6520198
Technically it was more accurate than the dual shock thanks to its rotary encoder, commonly found in trackball. However it's more complicated and less sturdy than potentiometer. Im not familiar with the saturn analog, but i heard it uses some kind of magnet.

[Anonymous No.6520414]

>>6520198
>it still has more precision
I think this is a meme. Dualshocks got better over time so you can't generalize as just one, the PSOne Dualshock is very different from the original Dualshock. The 64 development manual even instructs developers to target a range of looseness where certain points on the sticks potentiometer will be ignored, I think in the ranges of 65-78, I'd have to check the dev resources I have at home. 64 sticks don't seem particularly more precise. Maybe undamaged sticks are more resistant, early dual shocks are noticeably loose as well. Not to the point where the usable range of the stick isn't all there.

[Anonymous No.6520429]

>>6520414
I'm basing it on having actually tried to play N64 games with dualshock, gamecbe and 360 controllers. None of them were as precise as using an actual N64 controller.

[Anonymous No.6520438]

>>6520223
Saturn's hall effect sensors were better than either dualshock or n64.

[Anonymous No.6520447]

>>6520429
They all need to be configured independently and the only converter that handles this normally is the raphnet one which only works with gamecube.

[Anonymous No.6520465]

>>6520346
Not an argument.

>>6520429
N64 analog was shaped like a ball held in place by 4 rotary pins. Think of a mouse ball but with limited rotation. It's accurate but primitive and flimsy as a bitch. It's a terrible design. Tbf dual shock is pretty terrible too because it puts strain on the mechanism, but so does n64 analog, probably even worse. Controllers should've used IBM's nipple sticks instead of analog sticks, they dont become lose over time.

[Anonymous No.6520474]

>>6520438
The problem with most analog sticks isn't the sensors, but the physical strain. Sticks usually become lose, sticky, or inaccurate over time.

The reality is that a lot of people who are in their early 20s had one of this pieces of shit when they were little, and as such have no clue how much better PC, PS1 and Saturn all were back then.

Also, calling any console "revolurionary" at any stage is pretty silly, because past 1990, PCs were always more capable, had more games, did more new things and had more available genres.

Also, N64 only "competed" at all because of a handful of first party games and having Rare at that time. Without Mario, Zelda and 007, N64 would have been a total flop and we ALL know it.

[Anonymous No.6522419]

>>6522397
That's why Nintendo has made it through so many rough patches as a company. If Sega had a killer Sonic game and maybe some other good first party IP ready to go for the Saturn maybe this story would have turned out so much differently. Much fuss is made about the other things they fucked up but they're not the only company that ever released a flop console and Sony didn't need to be as stiff of competition as they were for them.

I hate the N64 because it was the turning point when Nintendo became the Mario and Zelda show.
Konami defined the NES, Squaresoft defined the SNES, Capcom helped define both. Too bad they and many third-parties almost completely left at this point and they were never the same when they returned.

More capable of having boring, obscure, western nerdshit dogshit shovelware with obnoxious control schemes that nobody gives a shit about anymore, which had a wealth of games only in genres which were too fucking boring for actual gamers playing on console. PC was never better during the /vr/ period.

That's where you're wrong friend. N64 was the four player party machine, no other system delivers on that front like the N64 did except maybe the Wii.
In the end the 64 did well and is remembered because it had good games, so did the PSX and so did the Saturn. Nobody cares about the Jaguar and other crap of that gen as anything but curiosities, because they had no good games (inb4 some piece of shit mentions one (1) good jaguar game and acts like he's debunked my entire post)

N64 is the white man's console, which is why it's so well remembered and celebrated even today.

[Anonymous No.6529361]

Honestly while the N64 does suck, especially in hindsight, I respect Nintendo for doing what they needed to do to stay alive. The reason why they're still alive and still making hardware and SEGA isn't is because they understood their limits and what they were up against when it came to Sony. Plus, they only needed one failed system (2 if you count VB i guess) to get the point and get their shit together. Like, why try to compete in the same lane as a behemoth company that at the time was the unquestioned leader in multiple electronics manufacturing categories? Nintendo made their own lane and aggressively went after the family demographic because its the only category in which the N64 was the leader and where they were gonna be able to sustain their success long term and guess what, the shit worked, and SEGA got btfo and is now a weekend-at-bernies level animated husk (despite being the much cooler company that advanced video games much further than nintendo did)

blah blah blah, we also rented games every week back in the 90s. We aren't in the 90s any more. We're in the 20s. Isn't that something? Turns out the one where there's no games and we played all the good ones already doesn't have much long term value or appeal.
