Nintendo 64 Console (Charcoal Grey) (Nintendo 64) [N64]

Product Information

Despite the PlayStation’s bigger install-base, third-party advantage (including Dream Team members), Nintendo and Rare still churned out N64-exclusive master works from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time (one of the only games to earn a perfect 10 rating from IGN.com) to Conker's Bad Fur Day and GoldenEye 007.

The Hyperkin team are a prime example of how retro gamers don’t just love holding on to the past, but they how also won’t rest until they make their favourite consoles the best that they can be. This is why I love the Retro Dodo community; you are constantly coming up with new ideas on how to teach future generations about the consoles that started everything off, and we commend you for that! Launch Surprises: Nintendo Cuts Price of N64, Drops Cruis'n USA as Launch Title". GamePro. No.98. IDG. November 1996. p.26.Worms Armageddon and Gauntlet Legends deserve to be on this list, I think they are waaaaaaaaay too many Mario Party and ISS games (one per franchise, come on people!) pushing out unique and brilliant games absolutely worth a shout!

saiyantrunks79 agree on Shadows of the Empire. That and Mario 64 were my first two game’s. I vividly remember battling IG88 in the junkyard.

I know lots of people love the N64, but to me it is one of the Nintendo consoles I don't frankly care to revisit.

That necessity to reinvent the game from scratch is what I think makes it the console's greatest achievement. I mean, it's not the first 3D game, but it sure has influenced 3D gaming through the years.Sure enough, excitement for the launch increased, especially once gamers saw Super Mario 64 in motion. Nintendo eventually changed the official launch date for the console to September 29, a Sunday, to avoid younger gamers cutting class to buy the console. Postcards sent with the new date let players know of the switch in advance. Several unofficial third-party emulators can play Nintendo 64 games on other platforms, such as Windows, Macintosh, and smartphones. NathanTheAsian Fans have modded the game so you can put on boots and take them off at a press of a D-Pad button. This makes the game so much more playable, no having to go through the pause screen for that, especially in the Water Temple. Croal, N'Gai (September 4, 2000). "It's Hip To Be Square". Newsweek.
