Was this Nintendo's biggest mistake ever, outside of CD's?

FPS gameplay is really shitty with gamepads, so no.

Powerpoint has a higher framerate than Goydeneye, and Perfect Dark is even worse.

Correct. It wasnt' on their radar and it's just something RARE made up. None of the series were created by or had characters Nintendo controlled as well - Doom, Duke Nukem, Turok, James Bond, Perfect Dark, etc. The NGC also didn't have online which was what really made COD take off.

It took Nintendo until Splatoon to even think about creating a shooter.

Halo was always better on M&K and the reason hated 3 until MCC was because it forced them to play on Xbox.

Metroid Prime was made by ex-Turok devs because they had a good record with Nintendo 64. That's about as close as we got.

shooterfags need their own containment board like pokefags. Apparently having a containment thread isnt enough

Nintendo had a few moments in its history where it could become the undisputed number one video game behemoth, but then they fumbled those chances. Nintendo could have been so much bigger than it is today.

I don't get why Nintendo didn't take a CD addon to the N64 or a modem for it seriously.

What the fuck were they thinking with the GameCube? Wierd ass controllers still and nonstandard CD sizes. You couldn't even use it to play music.
They should have went with DVDs.
Then they went to mainly marketing to young kids, not much in the ways of titles for older people.
Killing off the prospects of customer retention.

They were butthurt over Sony.

>a modem
It's not really surprising when this didn't become normal until the Dreamcast. But the Gamecube and PS2 definitely lagged in this sense.

zoomer retcon. goldeneye was only fun as single player. the people who pretend the multiplayer was good are just manchildren who miss having sleepovers with their friends. it was always bad. there was just nothing else.

GoldenEye was a system-seller, and other consoles had no equivalent. Even looking past this fact, the N64 still had more (and better FPS games). It doesn't matter what your "opinion" is.
