I dont know what it is but I cant help but download the n64 games. kinda like im collecting them, even though i dont really play them.

But lets face it, where else can you download classic nintendo games? PSN, nope! XBLA, nope! I find that most of the best old games are nintendo games.

Seriously. N64 is widely considered a flop, yet it had many of the best games of its generation. All five N64 titles currently available on the Virtual Console are fantastic games, and the best $50 you could spend if you have a Wii. Sure, Twilight Princess is great, but if you never had an N64, you could get OoT plus 4 more awesome games for the same price. :)

 N64 was not a flop, it sold 32,930,000 consoles worldwide. Compare to 100,000,000 PS1's. While it did well in American, its success in Europe and Japan was mediocre.

GC and Xbox barely managed to cross 21,000,000 and 25,000,000 respectively.

N64 had 50+ million sellers that sold a total of 145 million carts among each other.

Even though the GC performed so badly,  nitendo still earned a profit from it.

with over 40 million seller selling 80 million GC-Roms.
