reverie said: If the PS1 and Saturn were any good how come there are only N64 titles on Virtual Console.

LOL, because the Virtual Console is on the Wii, which is made by Nintendo. They can't legally add the Playstation, unless the Playstation 3 fails, but they might add the Saturn, later on.

 

Aren't PlayStation games too large as well?

hunter_alien said: You didnt even mention many games for the PSone that deserve a top spot . Tekken , Resident Evil , Dino Crisis are all PSone games and they are all worthy to get a spot up there . Genesis comes laaaaaaaast , but PSone is by far IMO the best console up there ...

Genesis? GENESIS? Hey, add the Atari 5200, Playstation 3, and the FM Towns Marty while you're at it. Why? Because none of these consoles are the Saturn, Playstation, and Nintendo 64...

hunter_alien said: koopatrooper said: because n64 rocked and was beyond the time then  Yep , especially the amazig fog that was there in every single game ... Common , saying that qualityt over quantity is pretty stupid , especially that seeing on metacritics that the N64 had 3 89% games in the top 20 , while the PSones lowest top 20 rating is 91% ... so your argue with quality fails from the start ...

Nintendo 64 has better graphics than Playstation. No fog in good games, only bad games. Playstation has more, good games, but Nintendo 64 has more of the greatest games of all time.

 

Famine said: All three lists are bad; they should be edited. No Killer Instinct 64 or Goldeneye or Perfect Dark. No Tekken or Twisted Metal or Street Fighter Alpha 2 (Probably the best one on the PS1). No Virtua Cop or Burning Rangers or Shining Force 3. There are a lot more games that were not mentioned!

1. List was edited to feature 90%+ games only, on Game Rankings, to avoid opinion contamination.

2. Original list was rushed. Did not feature "all" of the good games. Just a few.

Best RPG: Persona 2 Best Stealth Game: MGS Best Racing Sim: GT2 Best Arcade Racer: Wave Race 64 Best Sports game: Sports games mostly suck Best Survival Horror: Silent Hill Best Casual Game: Mario Party Best 2D Game: Paper Mario Best FPS: Goldeneye Best Flight Game: Star Fox 64 Best Platform Game: Super Mario 64 Best Action-Adventure: Zelda OoT   Fixed, and added one. :) Super Smash Bros. over Tekken 3? A game that earned a 79 on metacritic is better than the game that scored a 96? A good fighter is better than what people at the time called "one of the greatest video games of all time"?

I know, isn't that strange? Why is Super Smash Bros. my favorite fighting game, besides Super Smash Bros. Melee, when it only got a score of 79 on Metacritic, which kind of sucks, and a score of 80% on Game Rankings (equivalent to 4/5 stars)? Perhaps Tekken 3 may have had better controls and such, but come on... Would you rather fight with many Nintendo characters, or the characters in Tekken, that don't have nearly as much history as the Nintendo characters? Also, I think that Super Smash Bros. was under rated, as well as Super Smash Bros. Melee, but I think Super Smash Bros. sold more copies than Tekken 3, which also says something. I have not played Tekken 3, so I can't really say much about the game, except for the fact that I know it maxes out as a two player game, while Super Smash Bros. maxes out as a four player game. Okay, Tekken 3 is better, but I like Super Smash Bros. better, and I don't think I will change my mind, even when, or if I ever play Tekken 3. I have seen videos, and it looks like any other, typical fighting game. I will play it one day, so that I have a true opinion on the game. As for now, it's Super Smash Bros. forever!

 

Playstation. Nuff Said.

The N64 rocked! I still have mine hooked up and ready to play.

Woops ... Ive meant Saturn ...

 

Oh , and foging actualy was there in many games ... even 1st party games ... 

I think PS1 had a much wider list of games that were good, but I think N64 has aged much better. I go back and look at PS1 games today and I just find them aggravating, both to look at and to play. I can still go back and play an N64 game; Mario, Zelda, majora's mask, Star fox, Turok, Mario Kart and enjoy it just as much today as I did then.
To me, Playstation didn't really become viable until around the time it released the PS2 slim.
