To be honest I think the N64 had better Nintendo 1st/2nd party support for the first 2 1/2 years than the Switch. Maybe the best of any Nintendo console

I like the Switch a lot but a lot of its library is also jacked from the Wii U as well whereas the N64 was basically all original content.

N64 is the only system in history IMO that was actually supposed to be a huge success and was largely killed by a system format (carts only instead of compromising on cart + CD) decision. That allowed Sony the opportunity they needed to gain market leadership and by large part they've never really ceded that aside from a few down years with the PS3.
