I don't recall them saying the N64 was superior. 3D gameplay on teh GCN was much better than 3D gameplay on the N64. Hence revolution -> perfection. |
Exactly: N64 introduced analog controls and 3D games, and was a real killer in its days, but everything improved with the GC (the most underrated console ever)...
Nostalgia is maybe an important factor to consider the N64 the "best" of both, but really, many "innovative" N64 games are now looking really dated, visually and in the gameplay, while many of the best SNES games are still looking as fresh as ever, and may be viewed as the "pinnacle" of 2D gaming...
N64 was just a start, a very cool and very decent start for 3D gaming, with Ocarina of Time and Mario 64 as all-time greats, amonst maybe ten to twenty other amazing games... but gaming has improved a lot since then, on all consoles, and even in the "limited" library of the GC and the Wii...
