N64 gets my vote, primarily by virtue of having more great games than the Wii U.

Banjo Kazooie & Tooie, Ocarina of Time, Mario 64, Lylat Wars, F-Zero X, all gold tier.

The only Wii U games I'd call true classics are BOTW and Bayonetta 2.

Better games on Wii U ( even if some where ports of older games) but i voted n64 because i prefered that system.



The N64. I have very fond memories from my childhood.



Overall N64 had some massive issues. Cartridges being the real core of it, it really handed what would have been by far Nintendo’s biggest generation to date to Sony on a silver platter.

Imagine if Nintendo had managed things differently, by the end of 1998 N64 could have had: Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy 7 and Tactics, Resident Evil 1 and 2, Grand Theft Auto, Lunar SSS Complete, Suikoden 1 and 2, Xenogears, Parasite Eve, Castlevania Symphony of the Night, Tomb Raider, Goldeneye 007, Banjo Kazooie, Mario Kart 64, and Diddy Kong Racing all on one console. That would have been a proper SNES successor. Little doubt we’d have seen a proper Super Mario RPG successor as well.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

...n64 by far one had to experience the n64 when it first came on the scene to appreciate just how crazy it was to play mario 64 for the first time or ocarina of time

Wii U is a better console with more and better games. This is not even fair for the poor N64...



N64 + 100.

F-Zero X, Wave Race, Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, Mario 64, OoT, ISS98 (big game for me :P), Paper Mario, Star fox 64, DK racing. No contest for me.

Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


In 1996 the N64 was the powerhouse of its time delivering the first massive 3-D open worlds. Has OoT the greatest rated game of all time, it had the first truly great console FPS in golden eye and was a Multiplayer beast. In 2012 the Wii U arrived a generation late, never had a genre defining game until BotW. It was a non factor.



Dat poll. What started as a close race is now close to a 2:1 landslide in favour of N64.

I'll second what others have said in that BOTW is the only Wii U game that really pushed new boundaries, whereas on N64 you had multiple games like Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye 007, etc that sent shockwaves through the industry and reshaped their respective genres.
