No JRPGs. Also it's the fact that nearly every major title so far is cross gen. once Fallout 4, ES6, FFXV, GT7, Halo. 5 come out the gen will gain some identity. I want to say AC Unity is the biggest selling gen 8 exclusive right now, need to double check that though.
And I can't speak for you, but some of it could be Nostalgia, you were younger and more impressionable then (I would assume). I tend to look highly on the N64, but in really it had a handful of great titles some decent ones and its library was REALLY sparce. I remember going months between major releases. But I was 11 when I got my N64 so it's impact on me was much higher than it would be if I was 29 back in 1996.
