Nintendo - Wii or N64? - View Post

Wii, easily. On top of having Virtual Console and GameCube backwards compatibility, which gave it access to most of Nintendo’s best games, it also had loads of great first party Nintendo releases and lots of underrated third party games.

Yeah, it’s success also led to it having a legendary amount of shovelware, but that also gave it loads of hidden gems. And on top of all of that, the Wii’s best games have simply aged better, while a lot of N64 games are typical examples of early 3D gaming, held back by early 3D game design, the hardware, and the controller. Not even close really. The only thing the N64 really has over the Wii are legendary groundbreaking games, but that’s to be expected from a console that pioneered 4-player multiplayer and 3D game design.
