N64 was a very disappointing console as a lifelong Nintendo fan. I loved Mario 64 and Ocarina of Time, but a quick videostore rental satisfied my craving for both.
The PlayStation came out of nowhere and really changed how I saw games and gaming. I played FFVII before I ever even knew about Secret of Mana and. Chrono Trigger. So my time during that era was split between playing new adventures on the PlayStation and going back and filling in holes on the Super Nintendo. During that era I would also end up working at and managing the videostore where I rented the N64 and with access to over 250 N64 titles to play at any time, nothing grabbed me. I wasn’t a 007 guy and Smash Bros, while it had Samus, wasn’t nearly as fun as Tekken 3 or Street Fighter 2.
Thankfully Nintendo worked with a company called Retro Studios and quickly earned me back as a customer and I haven’t left since. It also helps that the Sony magic of the PS1/PS2 era faded once they started trying to compete with Microsoft.
