The N64 for not only just like the 3D graphics (it really is the first "real" 3D machine in that it had perspective correct Z-buffering, not just polygons randomly floating all over the place) but the analog stick, the C-buttons (which would set the stage for dual analog) and the rumble pak also radically pushed game controllers forward in a massive way.
It's not the fault of the N64 that Nintendo really hampered it with a cartridge format when they could have incorporated discs and carts together and still probably sold the system for an affordable $249.99, which was supposed to be the initial price for the system anyway.
