name 10 N64 games that werent first party nintendo shit and actually good
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_64_games
In case you are illiterate and can't use google, have a look through this list and pick some out yourself, instead of being a dumb-ass contrarian homosexual Black person.
Also, what the frick does anything other than first party games had to do with relevancy? The N64 defined genres and set the bar for video games all the way through the 2000s and you are left with the dreg of the industry that we have today.
>refuses to name any games that fill the states requirements
you've already admitted defeat, nint0ddler.
>Moving goalposts
Classic Soinyggers, always salty.
>”name ten N64 games that aren’t first party that are good”
>doesn’t do that
>”you didn’t name the ten games”
>Q-QUIT MOVING THE GOALPOSTS
>Gives you an entire list
>LMAO YOU HAVE BEEN DEFEATED
Imagine being this absolute moronic homosexual
>LOL DOESN'T COUNT!!!!

Man I hope they put Diddy Kong Racing up on the Switch so more people get to appreciate it. Fun game, completely mogged Mario Kart 64 imo.
diddy kong is the better single player experience by far but it's much worse in multiplayer. The items barely do anything

Why? For what purpose, how does that prove it wasn't relevant? (whatever the frick that means)
>Why?
because that's what the OP image was claiming and what those posts were disputing you fricking moronic illiterate
>Actual ESL calls me illiterate
I asked you a question, dumbfrick. Here, I'll ask it again so this time your spaghetti won't fly everywhere as you struggle to comprehend basic conversation.
>For what purpose, how does that prove it wasn't relevant?
Unironically Acclaim and Midway were at peak with N64, went to shit and bankruptcy after that.
midway peaked next gen
Looking back, agree, but Acclaim definetely peaked on 64, on 128 bit consoles they made flop after flop that bankrupted them, Midway was also better there than on PS1 whose versions were god awful (San Francisco Rush is an example), and the 64 was also a much better platform for PC games converted to consoles.
Everything made by Rare

Frick off zoomer
I cant even think of anyone I knew as a kid who owned a playstation. it was a couple super nintendos then all N64 and then xbox.
My boomer parents despite having a (broken) atari console had no idea what the frick a playstation was but had brand recognition for nintendo which I think has always been the case, nintendo dominates the mom/dad advertising game.

This exact thread has been posted dozens of times.
That's literary the N64 library. There's barely any games on the N64.
Literally never heard of the N64, only the playstation
Some good 3d platformers and racing games, but yeah, it was forgettable
PSX was way better back then
If you are an adult right now, then it was relevant, but that's not the case with you.
There's nothing forgettable about the N64, or any of those early consoles for that matter, if you were as I said to our underage OP friend, an adult, in which case, you are not.

PSX had the better library, but the 64 gave us Mario 64, Paper Mario, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Goldeneye, and Perfect Dark so the idea that it wasn't relevant is wrong. Problem was that aside from those really great games, it barely had anything worth mentioning.
3 real 3D Starfox, Banjo-Kazooie
Mario Kart 64, Smash Bros., Mario Party 2,3, Mario Tennis
A huge part of the system was playing with groups of friends on all these games
>muh boomerang peripheral!
>muh crash racing!
In North America it was, it did poorly eveywhere else.
At the time I was a PC gamer, and 3D accelerator cards were hitting the market, so the N64 wasn't as impressive to me as it might have been to console players. The console definitely had an aura of being for a younger demographic, and was desperately uncool compared to the PC games of the time. As time went on, the console library stayed relatively small, and third party exclusives didn't really seem compelling enough to justify the purchase. You were either in it for Nintendo first party or not at all.
Nowdays, I would take a thousand of those B-Tier games over the avalanche of soulless garbage companies are making now.
sega saturn was unironically better in every way
That goes without saying. If you have any interest in genre variety the n64 offers nothing for you, saturn offers a ton.
If only it had games
mischief makers invalidates it all
gauntlet legends was also really fun
the resident evil 2 port that let u use 360 movement was cool as shit

a few n64 games = the N64's actual library
nice logic brah, keep it up senpai, 10/10 would read again
Nintendo gave up 2/3 of the video game console market to Sony in a single generation. N64 was an UTTER failure. Pokemon is the only thing that saved Nintendo during this period.
Between smash, mario kart, goldeneye, perfect dark, wwf no mercy/wcw vs nwo and Wayne Gretzky's 3d hockey it dominated that era of 4 player multiplayer games. Doesn't help that beyond some sports games I can't think of many games that even supported the playstation 4 controller splitter.
Why do zoomers have the tendency to refer to themselves as "we"?
No original thoughts so they think of themselves as a collective by default.
Brown people are a horde of NPCs.
>Why do zoomers have the tendency to refer to themselves as "we"?
we live in a society
I had both as a kid and my fav games are OOT and MM but overall I would say the PS1 had a much better library with huge variety.
Just imagine how fricking awful the N64 would have been if Nintendo didn't have peak Rare to shore up its library
Why do zoomers care about popularity more than quality?
The N64 was the trend-setter for 3D gaming in general on all consoles and PC. There is not one 3D game that didn't borrow from Zelda or Mario 64. Everything from how to use analog sticks to targeting systems seem like a no brainer nowadays but back in the day game devs had no idea wtf they were doing and Nintendo with the N64 was the shining beacon leading the way.
>Everything from how to use analog sticks to targeting systems seem like a no brainer nowaday
Yeah good think Sony showed everyone you need two analogs and Argonaut showed everyone one should control your character while the other should control the camera, where would we be without them
Why does everyone beat around the bush when talking about this?
The N64 on Switch will always suck ass because of the limited access to the Rareware library that defined the console. There is quite literally NO WAY Nintendo will secure Perfect Dark, Conker, Blast Corp, Banjo-Tooie, Jet Force Gemini, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64, AND Goldeneye. And that's the heavy lifting in terms of exclusive library. After that it's Mario 64, Oot, Majora, and what else would I even want to play? Glover?
rare games are genuinely overrated and not particularly good. They mostly sold either from being pack-in games or riding on brand recognition and a shit ton of promotion. Reminder that Nintendo sent out millions of promotional VHS tapes with Banjo Kazooie advertisements on them just to sell the game, and it barely sold as well as Croc, a game with no notable promotion.
bruh literally everyone knows what croc is?
everyone who was a kid at that time played croc
what kind of backwards ass place are u living where people don't nostalgia over croc?
Literally nobody knows what Croc is. I know this because I didn't know what Croc is, and I'm everybody.
Like clockwork
>not "like crocwork"
literally one singular job
>no notable promotion
That little shit was plastered on so many huge ads in my PSM, I got sick of seeing him.
wow magazines? What an ambitious way of advertising. Like I said, no notable promotion. Banjo went the extra mile and barely did better. It's mostly remembered by nostalgiagays as being some amazing follow up in the genre for fans of Mario 64 when it was really a boring chore simulator with tedious game play. The reason it's so fondly remembered is because of its colorful graphics and N64 owners having literally _NOTHING_ else to play.
Sometimes I wonder if Banjo's existance on the N64 and his 'death' past that made him way bigger than if he simply faded out.
>wow magazines? What an ambitious way of advertising.
Magazines were fricking EVERYWHERE in the 90s, you massive zoomer homosexual. Croc also had TV commercials, VHS ads, and MULTIPLE demo disc's for ps1 and PC. Not to mention Croc was a multiplat to boot, it was even on the goddamn Saturn ffs.
Imagine trying to defend a game you know literally nothing about, just to shit on another game you also know nothing about. You're an embarrassment to your parents.
I love how kids try to tell others what things were like.
Croc remaster without the tank controls and I'll buy a ps5 just for it
Here you go senpai, no need to be a peasant
https://croc.epiclper.com/
You do know that rental services were a thing back then, right? There were most likely just as many people that played Banjo through that over buying it wholesale. Also
>Croc, a game with no notable promotion
Is such a blatant lie it's obvious you didn't grow up at that time. If anything it had a far bigger ad campaign than Banjo, and that combined with the larger install base were the only reasons it sold as much as it did.
>*Also on Saturn
Man snoys really didn't have any exclusives growing up. What next, are you going to tell me Wipeout wasn't a playstation exclusive either?
>Is such a blatant lie
magazine ads are notable to you? You know...everyone was doing them, right?
See
>There were most likely just as many people that played Banjo through that over buying it wholesale. Also
So what, people only rented Banjo and not other games that sold as much or better than it?
I'm saying using hard sales data for 90s games to prove an argument is fricking moronic. It's nowhere near accurate to the amount of people that actually played and enjoyed it, because even that far back there were multiple secondhand markets to take advantage of.
Croc was also half the price.
glover was on ps1 too anon, and pc
Stadium was alright
the pretendo64 always got mogged by the psx
everyone knows this
yeah, nintensdo had some good games, good enough to buy the system for in a lot of cases, but thats all u bought it for

I'm sure theres stuff I missed for both the n64 and ps1. But anyways PS1 had way more variety. I remember playing both consoles fairly equally though
>More games on PSX side
This is why the N64 was relevant. Literally 8 of your 9 for N64 are Nintendo first party.
I wasnt implying either were bad or anything. I liked both as a kid. I had no preference at the time
I remember playing Mario 64 and OOT on N64 and that was about it, into the trash it went, meanwhile played tons and tons of psx. I'm proud of my younger self.
When you look at the N64 sales you realize it was a flop everywhere but the US, so the only reason it's talked about at all is because scores of millennials got the worse console with no games as kids because they fell for the marketing meme, and had to spend decades convincing themselves those handful of games they had were somehow the best games of all time that make up for the fact everyone else was enjoying the PS1 and its thousands of games hundreds of which were classics with better graphics.
Imagine being a poor stinky little frick who didn't own both consoles
I was ps1 and I still liked mario 64 way more than spyro.
Nah we didn't have irrelevant shit here in Europe, I never even heard about Zelda until I was 12 and got internet for the first time and saw amerifats jerking themselves over it
I had both but for whatever reason N64 was very unpopular here compared to PS1. Nobody in my school had it and my friends in college had never played Nintendo machines outside the Gameboy. Nintendo was just never as popular here as Sega or Sony in the home console market.
It has a lot to do with the games, N64 games were kinda shit.
I dunno I had both and don't recall anyone ever being overly critical of either at the time. Any time people friends came over to play my n64 they didn't shit on the games. We just had fun. I dunno if it was a price thing or something as N64 games might have been more expensive here than PS1 games so that might be why it was more popular. I specifically recall Super Smash bros on n64 being 70 Irish Pounds at the time and my mother refused to get it for me because of the price but I don't recall PS1 games being that expensive.
yeah n64 cartridges were a lot more expensive to make than CDs
>here
Where is here? All my friends loved video games, and we had every single console between us, and some of us had more than one.
>he doesnt recognise country flags
The republic isn't a real country anyway - just people that got uppity that they couldn't wallow in shit for 300 years.
Imagine being such an autistic zoomer homosexual that you signal about being a spoiled kid.
I had both in EU. I will say the PS1 was MUCH more popular though. None of my friends had a N64. My cousins did but not a single person in my school had an N64. Whereas nearly everyone had a PS1 and the following games: Metal Gear Solid, One of the Tomb Raider games (usually 2 or 3), One of the Tekken games (Usually 3 but some people had 2), One of the Crash games (typically 2 but sometimes 3) and then a sports game like Fifa or something. The gameboy was the Nintendo machine that everyone had.
>because of YouTubers
You may think that because you're a child but most of us actually grew up with n64 and psx
>Ctrl+F "F-Zero"
>No hits
As usual, nostalgiagay Nintendo fans who only played Mario and Banjo have terrible taste and still forget that any Nintendo console with an F-Zero game on it should have the F-Zero game at the forefront of any library in terms of quality.
Pilotwings was frickin comfy
Mario 64, Ocarina of Time and Pokemon Stadium 1 were all really big deals, and when each of them came out it saw a big surge in N64 sales. It wasn't a big hit at all though.
Why is it always people who owned the PSX that try to prove their console was the better choice and never the opposite? It's a rhetorical question btw
see
Nintendlets need reminders they live in a bubble sometimes
No, you just have a clear inferiority complex. People will talk about how great N64 games were and snoys always inevitably jump in with their "akshually the ps1 had a bigger library" monologues, because they know they won't get any attention by actually discussing their ps1 library since it was all shovelware plus FF7, Tomb Raider and Metal Gear. Its basically a nerdy kid seeing all the cool kids discussing their toys and going "hey guys look at my toys they're cool too!" kind of attitude from snoys.
Who's gonna tell him?
Stopped reading at "snoy" since this is just a word that nintendlets use to describe anyone who doesn't absolutely fellate nintendick
We went from shitting on HL2 to shitting on the N64? Are we experiencing retroactive braindrain?
We're experiencing the great course correction the game industry needs. Before you know it, you'll be playing Sega Saturn and discussing the latest fan translations.
Every YouTuber I've seen talk about it always talk about it as Nintendo being morons jerking off in a corner except for a few games held hostage by the system.
> turok
i am forgotton
Wow. After Super Nintendo really lost all major 3rd party support to Sony. Managed to lure them back a bit with GC. Scared them away again with gimmicks. Now starting to get some back again on the switch. Such a roller coaster ride
They're not personally involved in getting them back for the Switch, it's just that the industry itself shifted dramatically so some of that spilled over to Nintendo
Post PS1 cultural equivalents to Mario 64 and Zelda OOT. Would it be Tomb Raider and FF7?
Post the modern day cultural equivalent to Elvis or the Beatles: you can't because they were only so big due to lack of competition, these days there's so many choices it's hard for any one artist to make it THAT big.
Same with the PS1, there were simply too many games for any one to get really huge, whereas anyone who bought an N64 was forcefully corralled to Mario and Zelda since there was frick all in terms of alternatives.
By the way I wasnt trying to shit on PS1. I had both. Just trying to think what were really the biggest most iconic PS1 games. Like Mario 64, Zelda OOT and Goldeneye are probably the top 3 on N64. PS1 is probably MGS, Tomb Raider, FF7 if one could only pick 3. Thats just what I think anyways,
Tomb Raider, FF7, MGS, Wipeout, Tony Hawk (also on N64, but came out TWO years later,) Ridge Racer, Tekken, Gran Turismo, Crash Bandicoot, Resident Evil, Oddworld. These games may have had presence on other platforms but were far more significant as PlayStation titles and defined the generation. N64 mostly appealed to kids, Wipeout music was playing in night clubs.
Only the first three and Resident Evil 1 count as culturally relevant PS1 titles.
RE2 was much more relevant than 1 tbh. Also I dunno if you are American but in UK Wipeout was huge
RE2 was also on N64
I always forget that. Crazy port. 200iq devs
Like it or not, the success of Neversoft's Tony Hawk Pro Skater for the PlayStation inspired a generation of top notch extreme sports games, reintroduced the world to skateboarding, caused an explosion in popularity in the music it featured as well as sparked massive interest in career skate boarders. To this day these games are held with massive reverence and the PlayStation is where it all kicked off. Denial of this is denial of reality and admission you by extension do not like SSX3 which means you suffer from terminal shit taste and likely are Down with the Syndrome.
Tony Hawks games were on N64 as well. N64 owners got the same experience PSX owners got with these games
Get fricked.
>Tony Hawks games were on N64 as well
Bro, they came out a year later. They were massively downgraded due to N64's limitations too.
>N64 owners got the same experience
Today, I will remind them.
PS1 version:
N64 version:
you literally missed out on a pivotal cultural moment that defined a decade following. You missed out a lot of them.
thps1 on n-gage is a better port than the n-64 for the music alone.
Gran Turismo was the best selling game on PS1 and the franchise is still Sony's best selling exclusive ever.
you are dumb
N64 didn't really contribute anything to gaming. It just sorta exists in this weird nostalgia zone for kids whos parents were too poor to buy them a playstation.
It was pretty big for multiplayer, and Goldeneye really popularized FPSes on consoles before Halo came around.
I think people who weren't there underestimate how big having 4 built-in controller ports was. Sure, other systems had multitaps, but almost no games supported them. N64 was the system you wanted at your sleepover.
(Also holy frick, did Ganker just increase the difficulty on the captchas? I can't solve this shit.)
My experience was the opposite, honestly.
PS1 with one of those fricking boomerrange motherfrickers was the go-to for multiplayer, and basically my entire family played Crash Team Racing together, but beyond CTR, there wasn't an awful lot else until Crash Bash came along, and even I knew crash bash sucked compared to something like Mario Party.
But, the downfall of the N64 was that my friends who owned N64s had families that didn't want to buy their kids 2-3 extra controllers just for them to only ever use them when their friends came over.
I guess it worked out for me since we already had 2 controllers for me and my brother, the my cousin also had an N64 and could just bring his own controller. We had one more cousin who didn't have an N64, but we wound up getting a cheap Madcatz controller for him.
Yeah this was my experience as well. I was the only one I knew with a multitap, and all we ever used it for was smackdown. N64 dominated any time friends came over.
This
I really dont understand how people with PSX had sleepovers, 2 people played while the rest stared in silence? How did you have a sleepover without mario party/goldeneye/smash?
there were better things to do as a kid than playing 4 player splitscreen on a 10" tv
You are absolutely correct. The only middle class suburb kids had N64, everyone else had a PS1. Literally no one had it in our school and we only knew it exists from gaming magazines and we still didnt understand why critics went crazy for that blonde elf guy game.
>we still didnt understand why critics went crazy for that blonde elf guy game.
If you hadn't played it of course you wouldn't understand, duh
I did, it was ugly stilted garbage
>N64 was cheaper and had fewer games than the Playstation
>Middle Class
I don't know if it was like that anon. I guess it really did depend when you were born. Despite being a more sophisticated and powerful console, the PS1 did release before the N64, but at a higher price. It was probably only middle class kids who'd have parents that would buy two consoles in the space of a few years.
The N64 was like 1/3 cheaper than the PS1 and had a smaller selection of games, making it more suited to a budget-oriented family, but, who the frick knows what boomers knew back then.
>launch prices
They were both sold at $149 by 1997 but PS1 had piracy.
I admit that the PS1 was better than the N64, but the reality is that NOTHING good has come in the long run from Sony joining the console race.

They killed themselves. By the time PS1 came out SEGA had been fricking up non stop.
killing Nintendo and forcing them to make gimmick consoles for casuals so they can stay alive.
Again, did it to themselves. They were the ones that ignored all the major publishers/devs of the time.
>Shovelware on a huge scale
Don't try to act like the NES was not flooded with shovelware
>Bad controllers
HAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAA
There is a reason the basic shape/design has not changed much since the Dual Shock. There is a reason why most 3rd party controllers ape the style. Because it works the best.
>Bad treatment of developers
Nintendo was the one that drove away all the devs/pubs from their consoles due to their greed.
>They killed themselves.
Bernie Stolar did, and we all know he was a Nintendo plant.
It was the go to multi-player console. You wanted to play single player games you went to Sony. You had a bunch of friends coming over, it was always the n64.
PS1 felt way more experimental. Like PS1 had loads of weird games and unique soundtracks. I'd argue PS1 was the peak of video game soundtracks actually and it only went downhill from PS2 gen onwards.
Grand Theft Auto 2 was the best game released that gen.
Outisde of America, how badly did the N64 do?
Every bong I've spoken to treats them like a bit of a rarity.
20M units in America, 10M units everywhere else combined
It was a 3rd place console in Japan, even worse than the Saturn.
In UK the PS1 had the image of being a more "adult" console. Dunno if that was the same in America.
I feel like Nintendo consoles in general in the UK are kinda regarded as "Children's consoles". Dunno how far that spreads, but, my sister (and her husband) recently got a PS5 for one of their sons "Because he's 10 now, so, he wants to play grown up games".
I heard that bongs tended to prefer SEGA in the 16-bit days, so I assume most of them migrated to Playstation next gen.
>games on the PS5
Should have just gotten a PS4.
Yes SEGA was the Nintendo of Europe. The Megadrive is still looked on very fondly here.
>buying a child a ps5
Makes sense considering the ps5 is a fornite machine.
I think he wants to play Fifa. They tend to play Fortnite on the switch, as they're portable.
Still not helping out your case there buddy.
yeah generally theres an age where people want to play more 'mature' games, then realize those far crys and uncharteds are movies not games.
so then they actually mature, and move to adult gaming devices (PC/switch)
YWNBAW
oh stfu movie games like gone homosexual are literally troony poster-children
>so then they actually mature, and move to adult gaming devices (PC/switch)
This but without the switch part since I can emulate anything worth playing on switch
>W-Well the portability uhhh playing in bed muh comfy
Sorry I thought we are talking about adults who play games not manchildren
as an adult, you might have something called a 'child' (or maybe you ARE a man child with no intentions to further society, and just plan to do nothing with your spare time but eat cheetos and rant about elden ring moving away from the core philosophy of miyazakis design)
as you might be able to piece together, a switch is a good way to connect with your child & has some decent games on it for an adult to play during their hour long lunches when nobody else is around.
A nice hypothetical but you do not have children and I do not want children
>claims to be too mature for the Switch
>still plays its games.
It's funny how you can't even keep your story straight.
>W-Well the portability uhhh playing in bed muh comfy
Don't go into any vita or deck threads.
plays its games.
Metroid Dread, to be exact. Remember, I said "worth playing"
Still a Nintendo and a Switch game, so you're still a hypocrite.
You might be a little bit confused or more likely you're being purposefully disingenuous. The point I'm making is that I'm not moronic enough to spend money on a Switch, which nintendo manchildren only do because they view a company as their friend
You are still playing Nintendo Switch games, so by your logic, you are a manchild, doesn't matter if you are emulating them on your pc or steamed dick.
i accept your concession considering i never said playing nintendo games at all makes you a manchild
You also accept my balls in your mouth, but that's neither here nor there.
>>yeah generally theres an age where people want to play more 'mature' games, then realize those far crys and uncharteds are movies not games.
It's actually the over-30s who love movie-games the most.
>tfw hated movie games my whole adult life
>tfw just turned 35
Oh no. Am I gonna get a sudden urge to buy a PS5?
No. Even before it came out it was not relevant outside of first party games.
>Capcom/Squaresoft/Konami tells Nintendo they are working on these games that can't work at all with the hardware at all and need to rethink it.
>the carts could not hold as much as CDs and cost so much more to make
>ALL 3rd party Devs have long since been tired of Nintendo's shit
>Playstation did basically everything, everyone wanted.
>Devs got a console that was powerful enough to do the shit they wanted, easy to program for, and a format that was cheap to produce.
>Players got a console that had a bunch of fun games that were totally different than everything we got before
In retrospect, the N64 was the moment Nintendo "lost". They were no longer THE Video Game company, just a Video game company. There are some really great games on the 64, just like every Nintendo home console after it though. 99% of them are first party games. Nintendo lost almost all the support of the BIG game devs/pubs.
Checkmark moron provides a counterpoint to his own fabricated quote.
n64 and gamecube were both literal fricking flops in terms of sales.
fun fact, it wasn't enough that the PlayStation beat the N64 in its own generation, the PsOne hardware revision (available until 2005 in retail) also outsold the Gamecube on its own. 28M vs 22M.
For me, it's Azure Dreams.
PS1 brought the normies into video games.
That was the Wii
Yea sure it did bro.
Just don't ask normies about Tetris.
or pong
N64? You mean that thing that played goldeneye? Because that was all I ever saw anyone using it for back in the day.
Even more like, was dreamcast a meme? The only time I ever saw one (when it was new) it was sitting in a box in someones closest.
>Even more like, was dreamcast a meme? The only time I ever saw one (when it was new) it was sitting in a box in someones closest.
The Dreamcast definitely wasn't all that popular, but it was still a great console IMO. It used to frustrate me so much that PS2 and Xbox took so long to get online multiplayer when Dreamcast had been doing it over a year before either of those consoles launched. PSO on Dreamcast was kino until the hackers took over.
rare carried the n64 tbh
goldeneye, banjo, killer instinct, and dk64
i forgot perfect dark actually
>goldeneye,
Only because it's the first console FPS that is not complete shit.
>banjo
I'll give you this one
>killer instinct
shit arcade port that was originally made to cash in on Mortal Kombat popularity. Also a SNES game.
>dk64
No one cared about it until internet personalities started making videos/memes about it.
>doesnt know killer instinct gold on n64
come on now
People still don't comprehend just how mindbogglingly good Mario 64 truly was.Ignore Ocarina of Time, SM64 was THE game of the generation.
It was an ugly barebones tech demo with a terrible camera
Knock off PCs have always been irrelevant. Especially 3D focused ones.
it was a pretty big flop, sold less than the snes and dwarfed by the playstation
i'd argue it failing even affected the gamecube which also sold poorly but most people dont remember that
>snoys are so buck broken by both Nintendo and Microsoft, they have to constantly reminisce about what happened 20 years ago.
So when the Switch outsells the pis4, are we going to see these these threads here daily?
Imagine being this sad of a person
>Be a SEGAfur/BING
>seethe for the past 20 years about Sony coming in and breaking the deathgrip Nintendo had on most of the industry and just watching as SEGA threw themselves down the stairs by releasing 5 consoles in 4 years
>blame all the industries/worlds/your personal problems on the Playstation
>has to constantly screech about Sony to feel better for close to 3 decades
>We
Who is this this we you speak off?
Just the two of us. We can make it if we try.
I was 19 when the N64 released in eu and from ~30 people that i actively knew and hung out with only one(1) had a N64 but with no games because his brother had a ps. I didnt even know any kids that wanted a n64 although everyone had a super nes…
The failure of N64 and Gamecube made Yamauchi retire and give the reins to Iwata, who lmade Nintendo pander to casuals and forced shitty gimmicks into their systems.
better than garbage like the gamecube
n64 literally killed nintendo
they never recovered from it
it was the console that made them into a shitty first party only games that aren't taken seriously as competition by anyone else
I can't believe after all these years there are still gays arguing over the ps1 and n64 like a bunch of middle schoolers.
Depressed basement dwellers with nothing going on for their lives. Yamauchi was right about them
America = N64
Third World = PS1
Ftfy
Why did he say that when the NES and SNES had so many rpgs
That's not worse than being on Ganker in general.
I knew more people with an N64 growing up, always thought it did excellent. Too my knowledge is did great in North America but shitty everywhere else. It was a kid focused console and all the millenials were kids during its release.
America = N64
EU = PS1
>Mario Party
>Mario Kart
>Goldeneye
>Starfox
>Bomberman
>1080 Snowboarding
>Turok

If you had friends and 4 controllers you understand. If you didn't, you don't.
Not in Europe, not by a long shot. We were Segaland and then Sonyland.
It was neck and neck with the PS1 in America
"Actually wait the N64 wasn't that good" sounds like the kind of opinion you suddenly got because your YouTuber told you what to think
It's disproportionately overrepresented in pop culture due to the dominating influence of Americans who happened to be the only people even remotely interested in the N64. That said a few of the games were well made and did have a lasting effect.
why dont you just ask the guy on twitter.
The N64 didn't have many games, but the games it had were highly influential. SM64, OoT, Goldeneye were very important. So yes it was "relevant", even if it wasn't very good on the whole.
n64 is shit
I feel like I had the best of both worlds growing up.
PS1 at home and a number of neighbors with N64’s to play multiplayer games like Smash and Mario Party with. And then there was the one weirdo with a Saturn down the street.
that one weirdo finished his OC sonic cosplay last week and is living his best life. cant say the same for u.
Same except I had the N64 and my cousins had the PS1. We lent our consoles to each other all the time and got to play what we wanted.
Scott the Woz was 100% right about the system. Imagine if the DD had come out in like 1997 worldwide, would have been so different
>Scott the Woz
fricking zoomers
I don't even know who that is, and yet you all seem too know his whole biography. kys
>scott the woz
>listen to me meander and say no unique thoughts with some shitty may mays for the next 20 minutes
Scott wasn't even alive in 96.
People his age know nothing of the PS1/N64 generation.
I just want the mystical ninja games but we all know Nintendo are too lazy to fix the rife emulation problems and integrate the memory pak
Literally everyone have already play and emulate N64 games there is not reason to get thoose games in the switch
relevant to what?
>poster child of the 3d leap
>the reason playstation and xbox are platforms
>first major console to have pc games ported to it
aside from the controller design, the N64 is basically the archetypical modern console.
>aside from the controller design
And the cartridges. And the need to plug in a memory expansion module to make it fricking work.
playstation came out two years before n64, and also made far more important strides in 3D.
*ends your console*
>Bomberman 64

That's just off the top of my head

yeah, OOT was a generational game along with mario64, ps1 pushed things with stuff like MGS
>tfw current gen is shit compared to that era
Relevant information to explain why N64 wasn't as popular in EU:
PS1:
It was released in North America on 9 September 1995, in Europe on 29 September 1995
N64:
The Nintendo 64 was released September 29, 1996, in North America, and March 1, 1997, in Europe
hes pretty much right. everybody played the same ~5 n64 games. they were amazing and it was still worth having but the ps1 had a much bigger library. the ps1 felt like the successor to the snes.
Bunch of fricking children ITT, when OoT released, it had as much buzz surrounding it as FF7 did.
Are you asking if the console that made console FPS a thing was relevant?
>the console that made console FPS a thing
that was the xbox with halo. goldeneye was a great game but lets not pretend like it actually popularized fps the way halo did
Goldeneye sold more than Halo
it sells more than most FPS games, even in the current gen
Halo was only popular with people that didnt have a lot of friends.
Man, frick this new captcha, im starting to question if im actually a robot.
I like Banjo Kazooie
In the west at least? Yes. I saw someone put it very well once. The PS1 had a far better stream of games coming in that gave it wider appeal, but the Nintendo 64 would drop genuine masterpieces as long as you were willing to wait a year or half a year for them. It was also THE console for multiplayer. Nowadays, I do think the console is somewhat overrated, but there are certainly good reasons it's so fondly remembered.
In Japan? Not really. The big releases on the console did make some waves, particularly Mario and Zelda, but by nearly all accounts it was a colossal flop for Nintendo in the wake of the PS1. Yeah, it sold 5 million, but that was nothing compared to the competition. Even the Sega Saturn dunked on it. Losing Squaresoft and Enix alone was a disaster.
>genuine masterpieces
Nah
>Blue checkmark
>zoomer PFP from some rando artist
>random third parties no one has heard of
yep definitely a zoomer, otherwise this homosexual wouldnt have posted that part about third parties. everyone knows most of those companies made some of the best games of their time and are either still around or have been upgraded to better companies/corps
Use this https://www.backloggd.com/ to make visual grid lists of N64 and PS1 games.
it was most definitely relevant for couch multiplayer
fricking moronic zoomer conspiracy theory lmao
The nintendo 64 was the shit.
goldeneye was halo before halo
The Saturn was the irrelevant one in the trio back then.
