No. The N64 had like 3 or 4 of the most influential games in some aspects. After that it was just mediocre, not among the Saturn or Jaguar, yet not among the PS or their previous consoles.

[QUOTE="heeeeeeeeeweeee"]

What happened to video games being funny?

heeeeeeeeeweeee

"Hardcore" gamers appeared.

casual games like wii fit arent funny only core games like turok 3 are funny lol.

Notice that i didn't mention Core gamers but Hardcore gamers.

To those who keep bringing up Rare, I'm talking about Nintendo releasing first party content, (aka Nintendo owned IP) on the N64. Compared to the Wii, which is MUCH larger, it's no competition.

No matter how amazing it was back in the days or how influencial it was, I won't ever understand how people can like a poorly aged game over a much superior sequel, that does nearly everything better.:?

N64's first party, no matter how much y'all may love it, is much smaller and isn't as diverse as that of the Wii. Nintendo brought back 3 old school games, 2 FANTASTIC Mario's, a bunch of other fantastic titles, yet people don't see it.:?

Guess nostalgia does hold that powerful curse.:P

After the SNES and NES(Which are the two best Nintendo consoles of all time), I would rank the Gamecube as the third best, with the Wii following in fourth place. The Nintendo 64 is dead last in my opinion.

I'm aware of the innovations that the games on the N64 introduced, but most of the games have aged poorly. I'll be honest, even when the N64 was a new system, I thought the PS1 and Saturn offered better games. The N64 has its classic games, but like I said before, how many games have stood the test of time? The true test of greatness is how well games from a past system can hold up as the years pass. NES, SNES, and Gamecube games have all stood the test of time, and many of them are still very playable even today.

The problem with the N64 is that many of its games play poorly by modern standards. Goldeneye was an excellent game for its time, but how well does it compare to modern FPS games? How well has it ageed when compared to other older FPS titles like Doom and Quake?

The N64 is a victim of its era. 3D games were still new, and many developers had not fully grasped how to handle making them. In many ways, the N64 is the 3D equivalent of the NES. It innovated new things and created new ways to enjoy gaming, and its successors refined and improved those ideas.

There is little doubt that the N64 is an important part of gaming, but it has been surpassed by both the Gamecube and Wii.

Nostalgia is a gift, not a curse. i still play my SNES when i get a chance.jediknight52501

It's a curse when it blinds people from not seeing just as good, if not better games being released on later consoles, just because they are either stuck in time, or in their experience. I love my N64, my SNES & PSOne, but I also have an open mind and can see the efforts that Nintendo did put into the Wii with it's first party offerings, unlike many who just scoff it off and "hail N64".

It particularly bugs me because they dismissed a lot of amazing experiences on the Wii. In many ways, I consider DKCR to be just as good, if not better than what RARE gave us during the SNES era, and that Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 are the best Mario games since Super Mario World on the SNES.:P Alas.

I can give a rats ass about what it accomplished over a decade ago if it's not up on par with the stuff Nintendo has been giving us during this generation.:P I loved Ocarina of Time, heck I played the 3DS version with total giddiness from start to finish, but it aged. Wind Waker, Twilight Princess & Skyward Sword are an overall better experience today.

Im amazed... After 2 generations and top games of the system... are still the same ips. And i think GC >> N64 and Wii combinedAzatiS

[QUOTE="Aquaunitpatrol"] List replayable quality gmes that are not overrated due to nstalgia that you would play and make sure the game are actually good. Which most likely in that catergory would be 5 games.Aquaunitpatrol

So... no?

I can, but it won't matter, since a. you're already well aware of more than 5 games that are great, as they're constantly talked about all over the internet, not to mention have already been listed multiple times throughout the course of this thread, and b. it won't matter what games I list, you'll just turn around and call them crap just so you can win a stupid argument on the internet. So there ya go! (Oh, and FYI, they implies more than 1, ie, 2 or more. NOT 5. ;) )

As someone who has actually played all of those consoles, I can safely say (again) that GC > N64 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Wii (give or take a few >'s)

Doesn't RARE count? During that gen, they were part owned by Nintendo.

Quest 64 is a name that should never be brought up again. Ever.

[QUOTE="bobcheeseball"][QUOTE="Aquaunitpatrol"] Wait, THEY? There were more than 5?Aquaunitpatrol

[QUOTE="heeeeeeeeeweeee"]

[QUOTE="Aquaunitpatrol"] A system must have at least 15 playable game that aren;t overrated, mdiocre, pos, or any other word you can use. The N64 does not have that number.
