Forums - Gaming Discussion - Which was better: Nintendo 64 or Playstation?

The only good thing about the N64 was the Aki wrestling games. Those were awesome.

PS1, quite easily.

Not to diminish the N64's quality, I enjoyed my fair share of Super Smash Bros. tournaments, that's for sure.



Tough call. Both platforms had good libraries, with the PS1 earning a distinct edge on software.

In the end, I'm going to call it for N64 for having force feedback, the analog thumbstick, and four (FOUR!) controller ports.

“When we make some new announcement and if there is no positive initial reaction from the market, I try to think of it as a good sign because that can be interpreted as people reacting to something groundbreaking. ...if the employees were always minding themselves to do whatever the market is requiring at any moment, and if they were always focusing on something we can sell right now for the short term, it would be very limiting. We are trying to think outside the box.” - Satoru Iwata - This is why corporate multinationals will never truly understand, or risk doing, what Nintendo does.

N64 by a mile, so many great 4 player games! It took Sony 10 years after N64 for them to come out with a console that supports 4 player w/o having to get an adapter.
