    How fricking up your own ass are you? Nintendo killed the N64 by making it cartridges. There is no other answer. No other company. They did it with this one neat trick. Everything unfolded from there.

        Even if you remove the FMV, PSX games were 50-100 MB, which was larger than the largest carts available which were also obscenely expensive. FF7's world is approximately 400MB if you remove the FMV

        The cartridge decision is what killed the N64 before it even launched. That's the reason 3rd party support was shit. That's the reason the system floundered.

        Square was in the middle of developing FF7 for the N64 when Nintendo dropped the load on them that it would be carts, because "frick what you want, carts work better for us". They had an extremely tight partnership which they got wienery over and decided to frick 3rd parties, and they've honestly never recovered from that blow because Nintendo consoles are still utter garbage for 3rd parties and really only useful if you're a drone that enjoys the bing bing wahoo nostalgia bait

    It's certainly interesting to see how things have turned out, but I wouldn't call it karma per se. Nintendo's success comes from their ability to innovate and adapt to changing trends, whereas others got stuck in their ways. It's also important to note that Sony and Microsoft continue to thrive despite their alleged sabotage of the N64, indicating that different strategies can lead to success. Nonetheless, it's always satisfying to see underdogs triumph, and Nintendo's resilience is admirable.

      Nintendo is successful because they’re the only one of the “big 3” still making fun games. Xbox is a port machine for dudebros to play cod and FIFA and all Sony develops now are cinematic experiences that focus on the hardships of being a lesbian reverse trans nu-Black person in late stage capitalist America.

      As is the case with most snoys. It’s why most kids who grew up with a PS1 turned out to be trannies. Their parents bought them the troony machine that didn’t support local 4 person multiplayer and instead focused entirely on tranime games. Meanwhile Nintendochads were groomed to be alpha males from a young age by being exposed to social situations via late night sessions with the bros on MK64/Mario Party/ Gilden eye. Research papers will be written on this phenomena

    If you knew anything about real video game history, you'd know that during the N64 era Nintendo tried to publish a frick ton of games from different smaller studios and canceled like 80% of them and killed tons of small studios during the N64 era. Nintendo has never been a good company, they just have some talented devs working there.

    Which ones would those even be besides Square? And I feel like they already immediately paid the piper by almost going out of business a few years later with that shitty movie.

    I don't get why anyone would hate either system. Sure, you were a kid and your parents made you pick one. You had to defend it because your choice reflected on you but you're an adult now. You can own both, or neither and just emulate both. The machines are older than most of Ganker.
    They're both great systems with great games. What's the deal? All that snoy tendie bullshit came way after the 5th generation

    The difference is that the N64 was a good console with top graphics for the time that was one of the pioneers of 3D games while the switch is a piece of garbage made of outdated tablets from 2012, breakable controls aimed for zoomers and manbaby milenials

        Compare it to vanilla Quake instead of a source port.

          why doesn't glquake count? it was released before the n64 version and runs on hardware that released at the same time as the n64.

    All of the "Dream Team" developers (except for Rare, which Nintendo owned anyway) put out nothing or disappointing titles and are either dead or abandoned Nintendo years ago.
    DMA Design (abandoned), Spectrum Holobyte (dead), Ocean (dead), Mindscape (dead), Acclaim (dead), Midway (dead)...

    In hindsight, N64 did have a lot of really obtuse design decisions, but to me it will always be *the* video game console. Funny that such a wonky console would have a lot of the most phenomenal games ever made.

      It got Nintendo when they were fresh and weren't in "ugh, we have to come up with another gimmick for an X game" mode. Shame it got wasted on primitive 3d hardware, but it shapes what they are to a substantial degree too.

          i remember when i got a psp for the first time with sonic rivals and a game called soccom, no one gave me instructions on what to do with the discs inside the plastic so i tried to rip it off out of it, luckily i was smart enough to try to put the thing with the case inside the console before attempting to break it for good.

    I think I have discovered why snoys are so rabid. It isn’t trannies (despite the memes) but really 3rd world shitskins that are ruining threads. Sony absolutely swamped Brazil and other favela shitholes with PS2s back in the day and because of that these subhuman primates have made the PlayStation brand a core part of their identity. They perceive any insult to Sony as a personal insult to themselves and respond in fervent ESL Black person monkey babble here on Ganker. If Ganker required “proof of whiteness” before allowing users to post I’m positive that 95% of snoy posters would disappear over night.

    Nintendo is dying? because most of the fault for the failure of the N64 outside of the cartridges, is nintendo wasting a lot of time and manpower in that stupid disc drive accesory that ended up being japan only.

    Nintendo sabotaged the software engineers that made their company grow by stealing their code for Mario, Zelda and StarFox among others and firing them before the launch.
