| Viper1 said: Then it's probably not a good idea to generalize the entire catalog based on your intentional play style towards those games...or any games. It's not about getting cackles raised, it's about correcting a patently incorrect statement. The N64 didn't have very many short burst play period games (though it was loaded pretty good with racing games which can naturally be played in short bursts). Those style games were still largely reserved for handhelds and arcade titles. They didn't really hit the home consoles in a big way until the Wii. US bases in Japan (and other OCONUS locations) were largely extensions of the US market or at least certain licensed distributors. This often led to some strange popularizations of games, music and movies. It was more about what was most avialable than actual demand. When where you stationed there? |
I didn't generalize the entire catalog, i gave my personal impression of N64 games. It can't be patently be incorrect for anyone to say that as all game reviews are based on personal opinion and can't be right or wrong. Obviously, your opinion is different than mine and it is probably based on a different set of circumstances than mine. Like I said, most of my exerience with the N64 in it's earlier years was in 1-2 hours periods on someone elses console. I had a Megadrive(Genesis) for about six months and sold it before I rotated back to the states. I was in Okinawa from 1989-1992, about 2 years and 3 months. Most of the video gaming in Okinawa was based on off base electronics stores that sold a crapload of games that were extremely unique(no internet back then obviously). I did get my N64 when i got back to the states though - still have it.
