Very interesting responses.
I suppose the reason why I chose the N64 was because it feels more modern in today's world... which is weird, because back then, it was the opposite. CDs, these huge cut-scenes, amazing audio, edgy, adult games like Resident Evil and Metal Gear Solid. The Playstation felt like the future of gaming. But now, oddly, the N64 feels less outdated to me. There are no load times, the system is dead quiet. There are no memory cards. Some of the games like Diddy Kong Racing feel--sans graphical prowess, of course--very close to their modern counterparts (I love FF9; but compare it to FF16 and it feels like you're playing a game from the 1800's). It's just feels less archaic to me in '25, so if I had to live with only one of these consoles for one whole year, I think it would have to be N64 for that reason alone. And it sure had enough games. Hell, 100% DK64 would take three months by itself haha.
