..... man I loved the n64 back when I was a kid.

However today? I dont really want to go back and replay any n64 games.
It hasnt aged well imo.

Meanwhile the Wii has Xenoblades, and the best 3D mario games (mario galaxy games) ever made.

Wii wins this vote.

Wii... because n64 didnt age well, and Wii's game library is stronger (I think).



For me it's the Wii.

Reasons (in short):
1. The Wii had multiple times more games that I enjoyed than the N64
2. Virtual console on Wii is one of my favourite features ever
3. No droughts on the Wii (for me, I was getting many games per year, while the N64 seemed to be perpetually in drought state
4. The Wii is the first home console since the SNES I was really satisfied with
5. Far better family/friends/multiplayer experience on the Wii

Overall, I was simply happier with gaming during the Wii/DS generation more than any other.


Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed the fresh feeling of the early N64 years, and some of the games were incredibly special to me (Banjo Kazooie, Ocarina of Time, Ogre Battle 64, Goldeneye), but the Wii was overflowing with games I loved, and I found them more creative: Rune Factory Frontier, Little King's Story, Animal Crossing, Xenoblade, Forever Blue/Endless Ocean, Just Dance, Wii Sports, Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, Epic Yarn, Mario Kart Wii, Super Paper Mario (I'm one of the 11 people who liked this game way better than the other Paper Marios), Muramasa, Smooth Moves, Monster Hunter 3, Resident Evil 4, Scarface, Godfather, I even really liked Wii Fit.

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Wii for sure. Super Mario Galaxy series, and Xenoblade are better than Ocarina of Time, and Mario 64.

N64 hasn't aged well at all, not even in the gameplay department. Super Mario 64 starts off slow, compared to modern platformers. It doesn't really get challenging until after you open the 50 star door. Up until that point it's all just a tutorial. Collectathon platformers haven't aged all that well. Then we have Goldeneye, Turok, and Perfect Dark. These games are all ancient even by GameCube standards.

Honestly, the only N64 games that I think stand the test of time are Paper Mario, Starfox, both Zeldas, RE2, and maybe Banjo Kazooie. But you can play Starfox and Zelda on the 3DS. So I don't even have an N64 anymore.

Awesome system for its time, but history has left it in the dust.



N64 because I have more memories than the wii with it. The only game on Wii I bothered with was Skyward Sword, at least during its actual respective generation.

Wii, loved every Mario, Zelda, Mario Kart, etc. on Wii over the 64 versions. It also has Xenoblade Chronicles...N64 had freaking Quest 64. Wii wasn't the best console for software in Nintendo's history but hell, it beat the stuffing out of the 64.



I think N64 is better due to the amount of memories I have on it and I enjoyed more games on N64 than I did on Wii.

Mario 64
Ocarina Of Time
Pilot Wings
GoldenEye
WCW NWO Revenge
WWF No Mercy
StarFox 64
Diddy Kong Racing
Shadows Of The Empire
Pokemon Snap
Pokemon Stadium series
Mario Kart 64
Yoshi Story
Mario Party
Wave Race

list goes on and on

Sure Wii had some great games, but as a whole, i didnt enjoy them like i did games on the N64.

Perfect Dark, Golden Eye, Lylat Wars, Ocarina of time, Turok... No brainer. Ultra 64 is the definitive winner for me.

The Wii's control system and limited visuals for it's generation pretty much ruined the console for me.

I don't even think any of the N64 games are in my Top 50 games of all time. Wii, on the other hand, has about 12. So easily the Wii. The only thing for me that the N64 did better was 3D platformers and Shooters.

The N64 is honestly my least favourite Nintendo console with the Gamecube.

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true

N64.
Golden Eye and OoT were huge for me. That system really got me hooked into gaming and made me more than just a typical casual. Wii was too late for me in terms of it's motion tech. If I was younger when it launched I may have been more hyped about it, but the lack of performance in comparison to the competition was the nail in the coffin for me by then.
