something n64 has over all next gen consoles

It's completely silent cartridge>>>stupid cd's.

Distastful joke was distastful. :P

Noise from CDs is a necessary evil for space.

Lawl you must be gaming on a used launch 360.

It's completely silent cartridge>>>stupid cd's.

heeeeeeeeeweeee

LOL that's ironic considering that Sony's adopting the CD format contributed to it's dominance over Ninty (at the time)! :lol:

CD's are cheaper though :|

mmmwksil

atleast there would be only fan noise with a new cartridge based console.

lol ps3/wii/360 you have cd-drive noise and fan noise.

Quest 64???

Yea they're cheaper alright not built to last like a cartridge.

Also no load times!

At least the controllers don't need the 3 hands.LustForSoul

n64 inspired the dualshock.

Except modern consoles don't use "CDs". ;)SpiritOfFire117

dvd/blu ray is a cd that just holds more info when it comes down to it.

Ive never had a cartridge break on me in my life.

I have broke many cd based games and had to buy a new copy.

the controller isnt bad all controllers wear out my 360 and ps3's have.

The ram pack actually allowed n64 to run games at a higher display resolution.

putting media on a usb flash drive is faster than burning a dvd or blu ray.

HAHA

Actually I cant think of a damn thing... well besides having enough nostalgia power to to make people think SM64 is one of the greatest platformers to this day. Thats pretty damn amazing.

Better than trying to remove scratches

heeeeeeeeeweeee

CDs are better than cartridges in every way.

Anyway, this thread is probably a joke.

blu ray doesnt scatch as easy as dvd or cd but i bet you anything you can still scratch it or crack the disk.

I remember i had cartridge in my floor lol i accidentally moved my chair and sat down on the cart and cracked a hole in the case but it still worked fine lol f-zero for snes.

And this:

If i sat down on blu ray disk with chair leg lol it would of broke the disk unlike my f-zero for snes.

i once got mad at my bro and smashed his copy of golden eye 64 and it still worked after. now that is quailty! Cds are so easy to break they need to be in a case!

CDs are better than cartridges in every way.

Except for durability, size, the fact you don't need to keep the box, they are silent, no load times in any way (Yes, modern games still have load time), there is no use for a memory card even though you can still use one, are better at preventing piracy than cds, and don't scratch.

Do you know how expensive it would be for 8-25 gb's of flash memory? Plus the plastic and such around it?

It's too expensive now.

If consoles did use flash memory for some reason that would be awesome though. 0 load times.

OoT is an outstanding game and definitely holds up to this day, but I really cant see why people still think its "teh best!". Had either MM, WW, TP, or SS been the first 3d Zelda to launch in place of OoT, people would have loved them the same, if not more. (even assuming that any of the above would have been limited to N64 graphics).

I understand the magical feeling that OoT brought to the table. It was jaw dropping amazing at the time, but imo has been well surpassed.

Take SMB3 and NSMBW for example. Both outstanding games and both very enjoyable today, but people still have a hard on for SMB3 and claim it to be the best 2d platformer of all time, while NSMBW is considered just another good game. The flaw here is that if NSMBW(with NES graphics) would have launched along side SMB3 it would have been considered a much better game.

I think too many people get caught up in the impact of a game rather than objectively viewing the games for how they measure up in the present. Thats not to say older games cant be just as good, or even better than games today.

Oh well, I'm just glad most people got over FFVII and starting thinking about the game objectively. I'm just waiting for the same to happen with OoT.

What is this the 20th century? Discs have always been superior. It's not the disc that's loud it's the drive that it's in.

Nice job OP, 1/10 for effort

Groundbreaking for its time, but it's crap now. Only the core mechanics hold up, everything else is bare bones.

Majora's Mask on the other hand has held up incredibly well.

Uh, yes, yes there was. Maybe YOU weren't particularly impressed, but the game wowed millions of gamers and all the critics at the time. There was nothing else like it before. For most gamers it was an unbelievable jump. That is why the game is still given so much unwarranted worship and put up on a pedestal today. That is why it is still the highest scoring game of all time to this day.

Feel free to live in some wacky fantasy world, but whether or not you impressed by the game at the time has absolutely no bearing on the way the game was received as a whole.

Let me cut through your nonsensical bullsh*t here for a sec. How am I a fanboy? Did you not even read my first post? I think its absurd the amount of praise the game gets. My point was that while OoT was fantastic at the time, it really isn't worthy of much praise these days.

IMO the Zelda series goes like this.

SS > MM = WW > TP > LttP > OoT > LoZ > Zelda 2.

Not exactly what I would call an OoT fanboy.

Just because you're some 90s kid that was too young to remember the shockwaves OoT sent through the industry doesn't mean it didn't happen. Try again son.

I thought you were going to say upgradeable harware (Expansion Pak).
