In my opinion the N64 was the vice of my early childhood... i loved it so much then and today its great fun and even the graphics are very bad by todays standard's the games where exelent fun wich exeeded in multiplayer.. i still own my n64 and i was thinking,it wouldbe Great if they made a new version with new And all the old games on it.

In my opinion to play games like banjo-kazooie/tooie and pokemon stadium(lol) it was very fun- would be great, nintendo realy made quality games with rare and all the other producers even the gamecube was very good but like anyone i was eagerly awating the wii ... it was fun at the start but it just wasnt any where near as good as the otehr consoles... the games just got boring and uninventive (not all)

Any1 else think that would be a good idea???

You mean kind of like the Wii? Without the flood of crapware? Or do you want a cart based system?

Theres this system called the Wii with new versions of many N64 games. If your talking about cartridges then no that wont happen.

They made that with cartridges too.

It's called the DS.

It's even portable!

Banjo Kazooie, would not be on Nintendo. MS now owns rare. All the cool Rare games on N64 could not come out on Nintendo again unless it was a game featuring an icon that Nintendo owned like Star Fox or Donkey Kong. Banjo, Conker, the Jet Force Gemeni universe, and Killer Instinct would not come to Nintendo again.

The N64 was pretty fun. That's great that it was your first system and all, the 2600 was mine. The times are over and people and time move on. They are never going to go back and make more 64 era games unless you want a DS.

Yeah i knew about that one, but it only used a strange electromagnetic disc that was not much different from the 500 m cartiridge, although it was much cheaper to produce.

What i meant was that i wanted to see an N64 with a real cd-drive... like the playstation. And seeing what it was already capable to do with with cartridges, it would have been intresting to see how it would have turned out wit a real CD drive.

Again, it's a nice thought and all, but we're talking about a console that's over 10 years old. People and times have moved on. That's just technology. I can see why you miss the era.. I miss the SNES era myself, but letting it go just makes room for bigger and better.

the n64 was great for multiplayer games...... the wii has got only a few good games and i think they have concentrated to much on the 'point the romote and the screen' factor of it. and they should focus on making better games... it was quite fun at the start but i think its spoilt it abit.

N64 won't happen again. Nintendo is too tight of what they will allow on their systems and company support has vanished. (like Rare is now with Microsoft and such) The Wii is proof a console cannot survive by pure 1st party games. (now if they loosened up their policies and cut all the puzzle/party games then it might happen)

Nintendo would probably make a great deal of money if they were to release a new model for their older systems, because people still do play them. But I think the closest thing to something like that were gonna get is the Virtual Console. Doesn't bother me too much though, I still have all of the old systems and a great deal of games.
