N64 vs PSOne, which was the console of YOUR choice?

Quality and quantity went hand in hand with the PS1. Just so many damn good games to choose from. I find it hard to believe that anyone could dislike the console considering its vast amount of games from ALL genres. Bashing the console just lowers your gaming credibility in my opinion.

The N64 had Jet Force Gemini. There's nothing quite like having a machine gun with 800 rounds, no reloads, and a room full of drones (or snowmen, with the correct cheat) to use it on. Not to mention the huge variety of other weapons.

And the there was OoT and Mario64, F-Zero, SSB, Body Harvest...

The first one I got was the N64 and I loved it badly.. but then the psone started toget a LOT of games (most of them bad indeed) so I finally gave up and got one ( I was a ninty fanboy bigtime back then) . IMO I would say that the 64 had the best games individually but the psone got the best library in general, way more options for gaming..

PS. I still got mi virtual boy.. man that console was not very well thought , I remember playin' it for like 10 minutes and need a break cause my eyes were burnin'!

PS1 of course

N64 was barely popular in my country and PS1 is the most raved system in my country (especially with the Squaresoft games), but PS2 was even more raved than PS1.

You clearly did not read what I quoted which said the N64 had no M rated games, and then you also decided to not read where I mentioned the game wasn't mature, but it was a rated M game.

Mr_Nordquist

Selective reading I take it?

I'd suggest against doing this in the future, or you'll just be wrong again in your futile attempts at owning someone :(

I used the N64 more, so I choose the N64.

I first owned N64, but then moved to PS2 and have been aquiring a PS1 library ever since.

Anyways, definitely PS1. Far superior library. N64 has a good library, but PS1 is just much, much better.

Sony did it way better though, the N64 controller is an awkward mess. I didn't realize how bad it was until I bought the system again.

N64 because of the Rare games.

Mr_Nordquist

This guy knows what I'm talking about :)

The N64 rare games were amazing and they're the number one reason for buying the system. But the console suffered because it lost all Japanese support, which went to the PS1 ... and some saturn (the N64 was dead last in Japan). If rare were still with nintendo today, the wii library would be in a much better position.

But when you compare these consoles you can't just look at which games you like better, but which had an overall superior library. PS1 had many, many JRPGs including Saturn's acclaimed Grandia. The N64 had maybe one or two, and they weren't very special.

Saturn is the best system ever made by far.savebattery

The saturn is a total mess. o_O;

ps1 is the greatest console everTekkenloving

N64 by a slight margin. Goldeneye.

N64 had the better FPS, exclusives and Nintendo franchises.

PS1 had more variety on various genres.

For me it was practically even. Though i found myself slightly playing N64 a tad more. Overall, for me, i enjoyed both plats equally.

Wrong, Rare wasn't the reason people were buying Nintendo 64. It was the fact that Nintendo promised 64 bit games and they maintained that better than Atari did with the Jaguar. That's like saying PS One was sold better because Square Enix was developing for it.

I don't really believe you. Rare games were well known, well advertised, and talked about often. They were very important games in the 5th generation and they were certainly reasons to buy an N64, because many were taking about them.

And yes, the PS1 did sell better because Squaresoft developed for the system (as well as benefitting greatly from what was Squaresoft's golden age). You don't think Final Fantasy VII helped boost PS1 sales?

Very popular games do inspire console purchases.

The only games I remember from n64 were Mario64, Zelda OOT and Majoras Mask, Goldeneye, Star Fox, and Super Man64...lol.... Did N64 even have an rpg? Did it?

I also think this has something to do with age. I was 20 when I got my ps3 in 1998, so outgrew nintendo....Sony was fresh with a new medium for games long games like rpgs with Final Fantasy that I grew up on with the NES and other genres that I used to play on my old 386 pc... I loved loved loved my ps1!!!!!

N64 definitely Super Mario 64 was unbelievably amazing at the time, the stuff of dreams, we'd had 3D games but nothing like that. Then there was Turok Dinosaur Hunter and it got better and better through Rare, Acclaimand small timecult games like Body Harvest, Silicon Valley and Mission Impoosible.

my vote goes to the PS1, so many amazing games on it, other people already listed them.

that said. I cant say much bad things about N64 or Saturn, both have a stellar game library, and im sure people who owned them enjoyed their N64 or Saturn just as much as I enjoyed my PS1.

these consoles didnt succeed as well as they shoulddue to the companiesthat made them and their design, but as far as games go, they are excellent

[QUOTE="TheGreatOutdoor"]I responded to what I quoted and you did not say it wasn't mature in what I quoted. If you said this in another post....then good for you, but I am not going looking for it because I don't care too. I just know fighting a pile of crap is not mature to me.

Agreed.

Banjo Kazooie/Tooie, Donkey Kong, Perfect Dark, Goldeneye etc.

Goldeneye 007- James Bond fans bought it, James Bond haters bought it, even gamers in general bought that. It is still known as one of the best shooters of all time, it even revolutionized the FPSgenre.

Perfect Dark- Yes it was from the same team behind Goldeneye, but like it's shooter predecessor, it was just as great (maybe even better). Super Mario 64- A proper 3D platformer and it was a launch title.

Zelda: Ocarina of Time- One of the greatest adventure games of all time. Actually, one of the most top rated games of all time (like Goldeneye).

Even more games helped the N64 stay in the game, the main reason it didn't sell as good is because most of the N64 games at the time were $60-$80. More than what PS One games costed. So it's not a Square vs Rare thing.

I owned them both. I played them both alot, too.

Man, it's a tough call. The PS1 certainly had waaay more games than the 64 did, but I also recall many nights playing Golden Eye until morning. Heck, I probably played my N64 a little more than my PS1 because of Golden Eye, Conker's Bad Fur Day and Resident Evil 2 (which was sooo much prettier than the PS1 version). But then again, my PS1 had Final Fantasy 7. That game was my ultimate obsession for weeks.

Seriously, this is a tough one for me to answer. I will have to call this one a draw. Honestly, I couldn't be without either of those consoles back then.

I'm not saying that it's a case of Square vs. Rare.

Originally, I meant that if Rare games are a good reason to buy the N64 even today because they're so great. But later I also said that Rare games were a major selling point for the N64. At the same time, other games were of course a major selling point. In any case, the N64 library greatly benefits from Rare's contributions.
