We can absolutely blame the N64 for breaking Nintendo's strong advantage - and in many ways, handing it off to Sony. That was the generation they lost all of their exclusive third parties and most of their second parties. Nintendo became incredibly arrogant with their "Dream Team" and going cartridges against the wishes of their development community. While Wii U was a colossal failure, no permanent damage to Nintendo's foundation occurred the way it did from the N64.

I would call the N64 Nintendo's biggest and most damaging blunder. Yamauchi did so much damage to the company in his final years.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
