Sorry, but the PS by miles. Some of the best games were brand new franchises.

Resident Evil, Gran Turisimo, Silent Hill to name just a few.

The best games for the N64 were just old franchises trotted out in 3D

Mario 64, Mario Kart and the Zeldas. Goldeneye is the only one I remember being new and REALLY highly rated.

Best original game on the N64 was Pikmin imho.

Except Mario 64, Zelda OoT, and so on literally re-invented entire genres for the 3D age. There weren't very many such innovations on the Playstation.

Nintendo did re-invent some genres, but the PSX invented genres....survival horror, racing simulator (I know there were some on PCs, but nothing like GT). Also it re-invented genres as well with games like Tomb Raider, GTA, Siphon Filter, FFVII, MGS, ect. I give them a Draw.

 


Survival horror actually began on the PC, with Alone in the Dark.

Racing sims existed long before Gran Turismo.

Tomb Raider, MGS, and GTA were multiplatform.

Syphon Filter didn't really invent anything.

FFVII's gameplay was ripped straight from past Final Fantasies. The first RPG to actually tell a story through pre-animated cutscenes was Lunar on the Sega CD. And the pre-rendering work, while impressive, was hardly ground-breaking in 1997.



"'Casual games' are something the 'Game Industry' invented to explain away the Wii success instead of actually listening or looking at what Nintendo did. There is no 'casual strategy' from Nintendo. 'Accessible strategy', yes, but ‘casual gamers’ is just the 'Game Industry''s polite way of saying what they feel: 'retarded gamers'."

N64>>>>>ps1

The N64 is my choice. I was 11 when I got it, and I played that for thousands of hours. Smash Bros, Mario Kart 64, Banjo Tooie, Pokemon Stadium 1/2, and NHL 99 was what I spent much of my gaming life on.

And the controller. I loved that trident, but most people seem to hate it. It was comfortable in my hands, and the purple atomic controller was so cool. I could see the inside, which was fascinating back then. I bring it out every now and then, when my friends and I get together, and it feels so nice to play the games from our childhood.

The N64 so far has been my favorite console, although, by the end of the generation, I think the wii will overtake it.

Nothing can top Super Mario 64, Perfect Dark, Mario Kart 64, Starfox 64, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, GoldenEye, Banjo Kazooie, Banjo Tooie, Super Smash Bros., 1080 Snowboarding, Pokemon Snap, Mario Party and Conker's Bad Fur Day.

To me the N64 has the best software lineup.

ummm wow...the nintendo love on this board is disguting. Look i loved both systems but the ps1 takes it by a mile. N64 was more fun playing with friends (the WWF games, goldeneye, ssb). It had one of the greatest games ive ever played (OOT) but the psone just had sooooooooooooooooooo many quality games. N64 only had the 1st parties and RARE.

Nintendo 64 Vs. Playstation Vs. Saturn. In your opinion, which one do you think has the best library of video games?

I would give the upper hand to the Nintendo 64, because it has some of the greatest video games of all time. Here is a list of all the games, on the Nintendo 64, that got 90%+, minus the sports games, on Game Rankings, and perhaps, Metacritic:

1. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of TimeN64Nintendo319.097.613%
2. Super Mario 64N64Nintendo209.295.700%
3. GoldenEye 007N64Nintendo219.294.700%
4. Perfect DarkN64Nintendo449.094.666%
5. The Legend of Zelda: Majora's MaskN64Nintendo318.892.274%
      
6. Banjo-KazooieN64Nintendo138.791.977%
7. Wave Race 64N64Nintendo148.191.929%
8. Banjo-TooieN64Nintendo178.790.724%
      
      

The Playstation comes at a close second. Here is a list of all the games, on the Playstation, that got 90%+, minus the sports games, on Game Rankings, and perhaps, Metacritic:

1. Tekken 3PSNamco238.195.804%
2. Wipeout XLPSSCEE107.694.750%

24. Tomb RaiderPSEidos Interactive137.890.015%
      

The Saturn, comes at a distant third:

They all kicked ass, but I like the Nintendo 64 the most. Even though, more Playstation games got reviews of 90%+, than the Nintendo 64, I still think that more games on the Nintendo 64, are better, than on the Playstation. I just think that there are better games on the Nintendo 64, than on the Playstation. As for the Saturn, it's a good system, but it just doesn't compete with the Nintendo 64, and the Playstation.

What do you think?

Check out this website I found, regarding the Playstation Vs. Nintendo 64. Yeah... It sucks... But it's amusing...


 I definitely agree with all that. N64 was my personal favorite console, followed by the PSone and I never had the chance to try a Saturn, but from what I've heard, it wasn't as good as the other 2. and call me crazy, but I still play Mario Kart 64 on my sister's N64... man that game is too addicting...

The most fun I had with my PS1 was from ports from the SNES. I still liked it better then my N64.

That genertion was the dark age of gaming to me.

QFT. I still play a lot of Mega Drive and Snes games today, but I have no interest in most N64 and PSX games. What I hate most about that generation is that co-op based games were annihilated.
