We played Goldeneye 64 and Perfect Dark for hundreds of hours each! Rare did not know how to make a bad game and neither did Nintendo back then. Let's not forget 3D. Saturn looked horrible , computers were for Diablo gamers and PS was slow to doing it right. Nintendo came out the Gate running! You kids look at it now and compare it to visuals today and laugh. You leave out and give nes and snes a pass because they were different, not 3d. But younger generation does not realize how monumental all this was. Zelda, mario, etc in 3d with controls that were done well. While we are talking about controls, now days they seem horrible, but do you realize how great it was to play with a joystick? With a little practice you knew exactly how you were going to hold it. Rumble pack anyone? So no, it has not aged well, but when those games came out you got some of the best experiences of your childhood in gaming. That is why older gamers still love OoT and many other n64 titles. We remember how epic these games were and know there was nothing to match it. Yes the CD based ps sold more and had more games, etc but that does not make the system bad. Just its sales were another victim of poor Nintendo business practices. I grew up with the nes, snes, and n64. None of them had the same impact on me that the n64 did. The same goes for many more here I am sure. |
im gonna have to agree especially with the first part
