Holy crap, I'm getting old!
I still remember how I paid 64 DM (the glorious Deutsche Mark!) for my pre-order. But it released in march 1997 over her in germany. And it only had 2 launch titles! Yes, two! I always laugh at people who get mad when some new console has only like 20 or 30 launch titles. Always brings back memories of the N64 launch when I only had the choice between Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64. (Though I've heard there were more games in other countries...)
Didn't bother me though, because Mario 64 was so goddamn good that I didn't need another game for at least a year. Overall I loved the N64, so many great games throughout the years. Goldeneye is still the best shooter ever imo. I also didn't have a PlayStation, so I missed a lot of things. But I managed to pick up Resident Evil 2 when I was on vacation in Austria. That sucker of a game did cost me a whopping 180 DM, but it was absolutely worth it! It had all the FMVs and everything and the graphics were even better than on PlayStation! I still don't know which kind of black magic was needed for Capcom to fit a game with two discs on one N64 module. But it worked! ^^
Oh, and of course there were the Aki Wrestling games! Pure gold, still better than each and every WWE game releasing today.
