The N64 was easily one of Nintendo's worst consoles.
There were a handful of really great core Nintendo games on N64. Maybe even the best selection of core Nintendo games. But there was no selection outside of those games. For example, if you were an RPG fan, you got Quest 64 and Ogre Battle 64. And Quest 64 sucked. In terms of selection, even the Wii U has already surpassed N64.
There were also massive droughts every single year on the console where most often only 1 or 2 games got released in months that weren't December or November. I am not talking just good games, I am talking ALL games. There were about 300 total western released in the history of the console, only 234 of those were released in PAL territories. For comparison's sake, there were already over 200 games available on PSX before the N64 even launched. There are already 216 games available on Wii U, which is considered to be in a massive drought.
Not to mention the price of N64 games was much higher than any other major videogame system ever. I think only Neo Geo was higher. But Neo Geo wasn't a major videogame system.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
