| prayformojo said: GC will win because of the age groups voting. Most people on the internet are in their early 20's. If you're in your early 20's, you were a child when Gamecube was doing it's thing and thus, was likely your first console. But, for those of us who were actually young adults when OOT launched, the answer is obvious. |
I was a young adult when OoT launched, and it was amazing for it's time. But NES (to me) is still the best console ever made, and Twilight Princess took everything that Ocarina did, but did it better.
To me, I'd vote N64 at the end of the day, because it had so many great multiplayer games, and because of major hits like Star Fox and Zelda. Gamecube was good, and it had some great games on it, but Nintendo also experimented too much with some of their franchises in ways that I was just not a fan of, such as Sunshine, Double Dash, and Wind Waker. And "Star Fox" Assault almost isn't even worth mentioning.
What it really comes down to, as far as games I actually liked, is this:
N64 - Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye, Star Fox 64, Blast Corps, Body Harvest, Turok 2, Doom 64, Extreme G, Banjo-Kazooie, NBA Hangtime (4 player), Beetle Adventure Racing, Tetrisphere, Bomberman 64, Bomberman Hero, Mischif Makers, Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire, Killer Instinct Gold, WWF Wrestlemania 2000, Castlevania (not great, but decent), F-Zero X, Wave Race 64, Kirby 64, Cruis'n World, Clayfighter 63 1/3rd, Ogre Battle 64, Duke Nukem 64, Super Smash Bros., etc.
GC - Wave Race: Blue Storm, Smash Bros. Melee, Metroid Prime, Eternal Darkness, Pikmin, Pikmin 2, Soul Calibur 2, Pac-Man World Rally, Wario World, Chibi Robo, RE1 remake, Viewtiful Joe, Bloody Roar: Primal Fury, Luigi's Mansion, The Hobbit, Need For Speed: Hot Pursuit 2, Prince of Persia: Sands of Time, F-Zero GX, Zelda: Twilight Princess, etc.
Thing is, GC was a good system, and a few of it's games were some of the best I've ever played, those being Eternal Darkness, Metroid Prime 1, Pikmin 1 & 2, Chibi Robo, and Twlight Princess being THE best 3D Zelda I have yet to ever play. But at the end of the day, N64 just had a higher volume of games I liked for it, and while GC certainly had more third multiplatform ports, N64 wins in the exclusives department.
