Uh, who likes the N64?

[Punch]

It's easy to not have pixellation when most of the 3d models used are just vertex painted with one texture or another here and there (hi Mario 64!).

(but to be honest, vertex painted games wins specially in the early 3d gen, like Mario, Crash and others who still look great after all this time)

Yes, but A Black Falcon hasn't commented yet. He did make this thread though...reviews of 145 N64 games.

haha that thread is insane!  thorough though. 
still amazed he hasn't commented, must not have seen this thread yet - he takes heat over at sega-16 for his N64 love, heh.
ive got about 25 games for mine, there's maybe 5-10 more i'd dig but that's about it for me.

i like it, but honestly there not many games that i like, obv the essentials like smash and mario 64 zelda games, and mischief makers are really the only ones i play. good but not up to par with ps1 at the time. but it stood the test of time better

There were a few games that I didn't dislike on the system, but that's about the nicest thing I can say about it.  I was of the opinion that the hardware in the mid 90s wasn't good enough for 3D games yet.  Everything just looked bad.  That combined with the growing pains of developers not understanding how to work 3D cameras and what I found to be the worst controller of all time made me dislike the system a lot.  Damn near everything on the system was 3D and all looked so very, very similar. 

I liked how it had 4 controller ports, but I didn't like the offerings that the N64 gave me.  Around the time Goldeneye was out I was playing Quake 2 on my computer.  And when Perfect Dark was out I was playing Quake 3 and Counter Strike.  I just didn't see what the fuss was about, PC shooters were so clearly superior that I honestly didn't know why anyone would even bother.

In the end I vastly preferred PS1 and Saturn during that generation.

halp me.. I got le eyecancer!!

If mere blurry, but anti-alliased N64 games give you eye-cancer, then most of the pixelated and warpy Playstation games would probably make your eyes fall out, lol.

that's basically true ^^

especially saturn 3D.

[MrBroadway]

Only 2D games looked good from the 5th generation.

I like the N64 enough, but definitely do not rank it very high compared to its peers, or the awesome systems that came before or immediately after. Ogre Battle 64 is an excellent reason to own the system, though, and easily competes with any of the JRPGs of the PS1.

[Tatsujin]

if only the n64 had more kewl 2D games, it might have been an awesome system.

Fixed.

[Bloody Wolf]

Even tho the 3D looks dated I miss that system

[Bernie]

I play mine regularly.

I'm one of those who have owned one for years but it took the Hori controller for me to play it recently.

I tried to post a pic but haven't figured out how to on this site...I know f'n dumbass

You may like the original N64 controller (more power to you) but I do not and no amount of discussion (defending it's design) will change my opinion.

I definitely need to get something like that, where the analog stick isn't painfully at the centre.

[Duo_R]

I am sure it works awesome, but that is one of the ugliest Hori controllers of all time. I have always kept an eye for one tho but those always seem pricey on ebay.

[MrBroadway]

I don't find it painful at all, but that hori pad is such a better design. Why oh why didn't Nintendo come out with it is far beyond me.

That's where I ended up getting it. They just seemed to be slowly rising in price so I said screw it. I can't say I regret it, a R.I.P. gamer named Breetai mentioned it so I have him to thank.
