when will nintendo get back to that n64 status?

Dude... the GameCube was N64 status. No games to play throughout the year until the one or two Nintendo releases..... Even Nintendo are hoping the Wii U ends up as Wii status in sales with Xbox/PS status in third party support......

I actually like the N64 originals better. Nothing against the 3DS remakes but just saying.

Rare WAS the N64

N64 had more higher scoring exclusives than the PS1 fyi.

The Gamecube was as good or better than the N64... :?

[QUOTE="millerlight89"] I'll stay right here thanks. I just said Rare was awesome, so that is ignoring their achievements :?.Goldeneye is a bit overrated and it did not elevate console FPS games to PC level, you may want to think that, but they didn't. Hell that was evident when I was 10, so I know what's up. It wasn't that revolutionary. Halo on the other hand was.

millerlight89

Halo was revolutionary because of what again? Shield restoration? Dual weapon wielding? Vehicle usage? All seen before.

Lol Halo stole all of it's "innovations" from Tribes. BTW there's a difference between influential and innovative. Halo was merely influential, mainly due to it's monetary success. Everybody else wanted to emulate that success, so the FPS market boomed, much like the first wave of post Doom FPS boom back in mid 90s.

Crash 1 is hardly "legendary". It's a very average platformer nowadays.

And let me ask you - how many PS1 games could you still re-release and they would still score as well as Ocarina 3D did? Well?

[QUOTE="Pegalamp"][QUOTE="locopatho"] Ok thats one. Is everything less then GT an instant flop? nameless12345

Also, Xenogears (assuming they didn't rush it like they did on the PS1)

SNES was better than N64.

[QUOTE="Pegalamp"] In that case there were no games on it.Pegalamp

N64 had more higher scoring exclusives than the PS1 fyi.

• Ocarina of Time (10/10)
• Perfect Dark (9.9/10)
• Goldeneye 007 (9.8/10)
• Banjo-Tooie (9.6/10)
• Banjo-Kazooie (9.5/10)
• Paper Mario (9.5/10)
• Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 (9.5/10)
• Super Mario 64 (9.4/10)
• Madden NFL 2000 (9.4/10)
• Conker's Bad Fur Day (9.3/10)
• Rayman 2: The Great Escape (9.3/10)
• All-Star Baseball 2001 (9.2/10)
• NFL Blitz (9.1/10)
• Tony Hawk Pro Skater (9.1/10)
• Madden NFL 2002 (9.1/10)
• Madden NFL 2001 (9.1/10)
• Donkey Kong 64 (9.0/10)
• Turok 2: Seed's of Evil (9.0/10)

That is 18 games on Gamespot and I didn't even list A or AA titles.

Their would be more if I went by Metacritic.

You mean when will Nintendo go back to failing?They certainly don't want to go back to that status.

The N64 was pretty disappointing in my opinion. Sure it had SM64, Zelda OOT and Zelda MM. Though nothing else really stands out to me, a lot more stand out to me now with their current console and handhelds. The Wii, DS, 3DS are a lot better than those two previous generations in my opinion. The N64 had some classics but the droughts were horrible and third party support was lacking. The GC had a terrible schedule for game releases but collectively, the library wasn't too bad.

To me personally, the N64 was Nintendo's worst console and the Wii is up there with one of my favourites in terms of game releases and sheer quality of Nintendo's first party offerings and the exclusive, niche type third party experiences.

IMO:

OoT is the best Zelda ever (and MM is better than WW and TP)

Mario 64 is the best Mario ever

Perfect Dark and Goldeneye were LEGENDARY for their time and still do a lot right today

plus it introduced Smash Bros and 3D mario Kart, in addition to so much more. N64 beats Wii by a long shot :P.

they are doing better then they ever have why would they go back?

[QUOTE="nameless12345"]

[QUOTE="Pegalamp"] You missed the point entirely like most Nintendo fanboys due. The whole point was that there are games that most games that were considered SUPER LEGENDARY at the time sold at a faster rate and more than Goldeneye. Like surprisingly Crash Bandicoot 1. I see 3 but I don't get what people see in 1.Pegalamp

Crash 1 is hardly "legendary". It's a very average platformer nowadays.

And let me ask you - how many PS1 games could you still re-release and they would still score as well as Ocarina 3D did? Well?

Sales don't necessarily imply the quality of the game. Crash 1 was pretty average even for the time being (I think it scored 60 or so here on GameSpot) while Mario 64 was basically a revolution in the platformer genre and for games in general.
