I still consider SNES the best console ever :/

The Vectrex used potentiometer based analog controls in 1982. Sony also beat the N64 to market with their first analog controller, the Playstation Analog Stick (not the Dual Analog Controller).

I thought SM64 was shit because I don't like games that just involve jumping and picking stuff up. I just find it extremely tedious, and it is clearly aimed at a younger market.

The reason Sony and MS started making coloured consoles after Nintendo is because they realised it stimulates sales. That doesn't mean it's a good idea, it just means that consumers are gullible enough to fall for pointless marketing gimmicks.

Releasing with 4 ports instead of relying on additional purchase can hardly be considered an innovation. In any case, it didn't come with 4 controllers did it? So it would still require an additional purchase. The multi-tap on both SNES and Megadrive were extremely popular, so additional ports changed nothing. Not to mention numerous arcade games that were built primarily for multiplayer.

 for me it would be the ps2

No console had analogue control before the N64, and further, the Sony Playstation Risc processor was NOT true 3d. Look at almost every game that came out on that system, it's a planar 3d world, inhabited by 2d sprites. Don't even try to compare the "3d" of Crash Bandicoot to Mario 64, which was the first true 3d system on the market.

And good lord, outside of maybe a few square games on the PS1, most of those games look horrendous today. Whereas N64 games still look quite good.

The PS1 wouldn't have even existed if there wasn't a Nintendo Play Station.

The first polygon-based 3D game was I, Robot in 1983. That was pre-dated by a number of vector-based 3D games, such as Battlezone in 1980.

The company most responsible for the evolution of 3D gaming in the '90s was Sega, with it's Virtua series.

^i wonder how the console would have been if they didnt seperate

The Analogue on your Sony controllers was only rushed to market, AFTER everybody was shown the N64's analogue controls. Just because they released it a week before the system launched here in the states, doesn't mean that Sony did it first.

The fact that you think the system only had games featuring "jumping and stuff", speaks volumes about your lack of knowledge in regards to the N64. You'd be best to lay off further comments which make you out to be trollish.

Likewise, your comment about the system not coming with 4 controls. Wow. I hope you didn't spend too long working on that arguement.

 that was for the arcade right?

You're thinking of this leoj:

That's the in box controller for the Neo Geo AES which came out in 1990 I think. That's not really an analog stick though. That's a joystick and they were on the Atari consoles too. They were used for precise 2D movements, and still to this day have no equal when it comes to that.

^the picture doenst work for some reason
