Not only is 64 the better console of the two but it should now be in the discussion for best console of all time.

Mario 64 was a revolutionary success that truly gave birth to the 3D console game market. The overall design was immensely original with an organic flow. From there, developers from all over began to deliver masterpieces, albeit most of those were inhouse.

I beg the differ when posters say 64 didn't age well. I don't think that could be further from the truth. In comparison, if any console (and again not just the 2 but of all time) failed to maintain its image its undoubtedly the Wii. How fast has everyone forgotten the sheer amount of testimonies claiming their Wiis being shelved as dust collectors merely months after their initial play times? I remember because I was one of them. Plus I had a softmod with 100s of games that just felt gimmicky.

So with all due respect to what the Wii did in terms of the casual player friendly console and embodiment of the underdog success story, the choice is just too easy.

N-freakin' 64.

I owned over 170 games on Wii, for both all ages and adults only, none of them are for casual only
