Never has there been a better system.
It has an awesome lineup of classics.
Great games are all over the place on it.
Gamers just fell for the jrpg meme on the psx.
Everyone should revisit these classics.
Really, you'll be doing yourself a favor.

Great console but GameCube improved on it in almost every way.
>better controller
>nearly as reliable and indestructible despite inclusion of an optical drive
>memory card ports on console rather than controllers
>networking features, albeit limited (no, randnet doesn't count)
>no retarded RAM module expansion
>aux ports are actually used and don't require any accessory to be as large as the console itself, ala N64 DD, Doctor 64 etc.
>obviously, better graphics but more importantly: stable framerate
>library almost 3x as large. superior 3rd party support and larger variety of games in general. way more experimental titles and most sequels improve upon N64 counterparts

Gamecube doubled down on much of what the N64 did, for better and for worse. Subpar media format, odd controller, multiplayer console of choice, strong 1st party titles, lacking 3rd party support, few games, younger target audience.
I agree with you that Gamecube did it better and more convincingly than N64 but don't say that to an American born between '86 and '96. N64 may be the most beloved console of all time to us

I had an N64 for the longest time and played just about everything on the system from the classics like SM64 and Ocarina to the lesser known shit like Quake, Hexen, Wetrix, even tried a few imports at one point. Like I said, it's a great console and I enjoyed my time with it, but GameCube games were far and away more fun as a whole than what the N64 offered. There is nothing on N64 approaching the quality, wow factor and addictiveness of something like Resident Evil 4, even when accounting for the technological gap. Also I think you're being unfair to the GCN's design decisions. Compare to the competition of the time: superior processing power to PS2 and DC, almost graphically comparable to Xbox, faster load times, less prone to mechanical issues, small form factor and overall solid build quality -- for $200. Say what you want about sales and library but the console was very well designed and its only real limitation was in the capacity of the mini discs which was rarely an issue.

Mario 64 is an all time classic right out of the gate.

Pilotwings 64 is a solid launch title.

Wave Race rivals the sega arcade racing games a little bit later. Still the best game of its type.

Doom 64 is a great sequel and a great start to the great fps games on the system.

Blast corps is unique and another hidden gem that is infinitely replayable.

Mario kart 64 was a great party game and still is.

Shadows of the Empire is a great early realease mixing fps, platforming and arial battle.

Goldeneye 64 was the best fps ever when it came out. Everyone talks about the multiplyer but the single was great too.

Diddy kong racing is another kart racing all time great.

Banjo Kazooie too mario 64 and added some twists and came out great. Banjo tooie got a bit big for its britches but was still great.

Starfox 64 may be the best rail shooter of all time, only rivaled by the panzer dragoons.

Or sin and punishment

DK64 was the most extreme collectathon ever at that point. Love it or hate, its a hardcore collectathon.

Conkers bad fur day was a fun movie game. Some dont like the humour but I could get a cheap laugh.

Pokemon snap is funner than it should be

Fzero x is a fast racer. People dont like the graphics but the game itself is fast and challenging.

Jet force Gemini and winback are great 3d shooters with different takes on the genre.

Perfect Dark is goldeneye 2 and bigger and at least as good.

Body harvest is proto gta and can be fun to mess around with.

Smash bros is an all time classic.

The Zeldas are often called best games ever.

Kirby is a fun little 2d platformer.

Mischief makers is a great 2d platformer along woth geomon on a system without many.

Ogre battle is a fun tactical rpg, hybrid heaven is an ok rpg along with paper mario.

Theres plenty more and multiplats like thps, rayman 2, podracer, shadow man, quake 1 and 2, wipeout. Ill never understand why people say theres no games. Yeah it missing rpgs but pokemon was the rpg of the era

I'm so fucking sick of people pretending Playstation was fun. Playstation was the de facto choice of every deadbrained NPC faggot, 3rd world immigrant and Eminem fan. Playstation had a bunch of jank, brown action games, sports games, racing games and proto-modern open world trash for normies. This perception that PS1/2 had these treasure trove of thousands of amazing, unique games is fucking bullshit. 99.99% of the games are bottom of the barrel dumpster fire bargain bin trash and the few prominent, legitimately decent games are most isolated into a few distinct genres and play largely the same, e.g. the dozens of nigh-identical RPGs that get sucked off to no fucking end despite being glorified friendship simulators. Playstation is the Honda Civic of the gaming world and anybody who would rather play Final Fantasy and Killzone over shit like RE4 and F-Zero is fucking retarded. Fuck you.

All this tells me is that you were a preteen during the N64 years. No one who was 21+ at the time nor anyone born after that era could possibly think that the N64 catalog is even good. Games like Goldeneye and Ocarina are interesting today purely as historical artifacts. They have long been succeeded, and their successors have long been succeeded. In conclusion, Gamecube was better.

The n64 suffered from the same problem other systems like dreamcast suffered. Not enough variety. Too many platformers not enough rpgs, piss poor fighting games, only like 3 or 4 good racing games etc etc. The PS1 may not have had groundbreaking defining games but it did have a wider selection of genres and games to play and at the very least they're generally at least decent and fun to play

The PS1 had more good games than the Nogames64 had games. The PS1 was technically a weaker system on paper and its games still looked better all across the board. The PS1 was a music CD player, had top tier audio and a legendary controller. The PS1 had beautiful FMVs and games with lots of voice acting. The PS1 could do 2D.

N64 fanboyism is one of the few areas in gaming that functions on pure nostalgia.

The games are bad (less than five exceptions). But the library is small and the consoles came in a bunch of cool clear colors so people love to coomlect it.

You sound like you're projecting and can't accept that some people were idorts and aren't traumatized with console war mindset.
But, if you want to keep obsessing over people who enjoy the N64, be my total guest.

I just don't understand how you can like the n64, are you autistic?

>> No.8882224

>>8882210
Uh, no.
Not understanding this might be an indication for autism, though.

n64:
>bad resolution
>filters
>bad sound quality
>most games run at -10fps
>awfull controller and joystick
>battery saves
>no analogue triggers
>no games
if you unironically like the n64, you are autistic, I'm sorry but that's how things works

Those games were primarily PlayStation games. Only RE1 and TR1 came out on Saturn and the THPS games came out later on DC and DC only had TR:TLR.

Games were ported a bunch back in the later 90s but mostly people played these games on PlayStation. FFVII was ported to PC as was RE and TR.

You sound like a /v/ console warrior man.
Most old consoles are "bad", but thankfully we here at /vr/ can enjoy games despite the fact older consoles weren't HD.

Shit system that deservedly lost with almost no games. Even the Zelda games were overrated. Lol if n64 wzs your childhood, sad.

I honestly feel sad for kids who grew up with 5th and 6th gen in general. Imagine not growing up with 3rd and 4th gens, the golden era of home video games.
Dealing with PS's loading times and stuttering textures/polygons is also pretty sad if that was your childhood.

no i just like playing games with good res and no filters, I'm not a soulfag. no mattet how old or new, if the console is shit, its shit, the ps1 and saturn look better than any n64 game because they don't have bad res and filters, so cope more

so all you care about is resolution.... so what are you doing in /vr/? All real retro consoles are SD. If you want HD, go to /v/.
I care about games, and while 5th gen has a lot of compromises in general, a lot of developers worked around the limitations and delivered good stuff. That's why I will never take people like you seriously, people with hateboners for entire consoles. Console warriors don't belong here.
