>oi pass me a postage stamp m8, I wanna write a list of n64 bangers

every time i see one of these posts i think about the time i was dating this kid's mom in 1998 and accidentally broke his PS1 when i was nailing her. apparently he left the console on the couch and a jacket fell over it, and my knee was leaning on it the whole time while i slapped cum into his mom's ass. he was really upset so i bought him an N64 for christmas that year and when i showed it to him, he said mario was for babies.

3 years later his baby brother was playing mario.

Correct. None exist. For any console.

It's the same as any other Nintendo console: absolute shit by all objective measures, yet clung onto by incessant nintendrones, whom are desperately attempting to maintain this myth that Nintendo has ever produced something of worth. Nintendo is shit, and always have been, their poor consoles and shit games are best ignored.

It still has the best wrestling games and the best 3D platformers years later. While shit like Zelda and Goldeneye has been improved upon, they still have redeeming values that make them playable if in Goldeneyes case, you can accept the dated controls.

>>7248384
The N64 was the King of the Wrestling games. You had WCW Revenge, WM 2000, No Mercy, VPW 64 and VPW 2, all in one console generation.

Both are great, but I agree N64 has more in-depth mechanics, DC is a bit casualized but still good and has a couple extra bosses.
But don't mind australia-kun, he WILL hate on anything nintendo, and that's fun: he will never escape Nintendo, for it is deeply ingrained in his psyche.

Cartridges were limited, but the N64 was and is still a fun console because it had a lot of fun games and the controllers (despite being weird as shit) were responsive and versatile. That said, if you don't like any of the hundreds of games on it then it is what it is

I kind of get the feeling most of those three discs are only needed to store the world map twice, the character models three times, the music, the pre-rendered cutscenes and those (for the time) amazing models of Cloud and Sephiroth at the end. I'm not sure but I think you could run the game on the Nintendo 64 if you removed that stuff and replaced it with more storage friendly content. Don't get me wrong, those things were nice (if a bit archaic now) but I'm not sure it needed to be exclusive to the PS1 for so long.

Can someone with more insight tell me, could a compromised version of the game (one that replaces the cutscenes, music and high-poly models at the end with simple solutions) run on the N64 or would the game need to be remade from the ground up to make a functioning N64 version? I know RE2 was on N64 and I know the PS1 version of Rayman 2 is actually worse than the N64 version. My understanding is that the N64 is mostly superior in terms of hardware and that it's really just the lack of a CD drive that prevented most PS1 games from being ported to the system

>>7249845
>n64 adventure,
Literally just has OoT, which isn't even good.

>>7250574
The deal with RE2 on N64 was that the only thing the N64 had to actually do was display a background image and a few models. The rest of the N64's processing power was committed to decompressing assets on the fly for the entire game, which was unusual. This can't be replicated for FF7. When you go into a random battle, all the 3D graphics would consume too much processing power to allow for good audio decoding on the fly.

>>7248887

>Real Bangai-O fans enjoy both games, as they're different and offer fun both ways.
But only one can be the best, and that's Bangai-O for the Sega ChadCast.

>>7251190
Would be cool if Console Wars did an episode on Bangai-O.
Dreamcast is good, but I still prefer the original for having a more in-depth scoring system, since the real game starts when you play for score. Also, while I enjoy the DC's new graphics and all, I prefer the more retro graphics of the original. Bangai-O itself's sprite is also better looking on N64, it has more details when it unleashes the missile fury, you can see all the missile pads coming out of its body, for some reason not on DC.

>Bangai-O

This thing is a massive failure in any other region besides US. Americans and their animal instinct towards consumerism is the cause the n64 phenomenon in that region. Rational beings dared to touch this console.

Seriously. They had what... 40 fighting games in this generation and not a SINGLE one was brought to N64? Fucking why?

Not even SF2 collection? Super SF2 was the best selling SNES game! There's got to be some reason they didn't bring 99% of there games to N64. And then they bring Resident Evil 2 and Megaman Legends? Fucking weird.

>>7249731
The PSX has every genre covered. But people will remember it as a JRPG machine.
>n64=fun tier adventure stuffs
get three other N64 controllers and you have the best couch gaming machine of the generation. the N64 has a lot of two and four player split screen games, and four player games in general. Outside of that, 3D platformers/ action games, some racing games, FPS games and a few other genres.
>saturn=point and laugh, too much arcade tier
Playstation has a lot of arcade tier with Namco. Saturn really has the best 2D fighting games of that generation, as well as some decent arcade ports. It also does have a pretty underrated selection of RPG's and 2D shooters. The console has some original stuff too.

>>7253496
You don’t like one of the finest performance arts around?

>>7253314
Nobody was going to pay $60 for SF2 in 1998, anon. It makes much more sense when trying to maximize money through ports to just make more PSX ports. Not only do you already have lots of teams well acquainted with the PSX hardware, but more people will buy the PSX port in the first place.

Remember, the N64 really only did well in America.

>>7252214
I was poor growing up, didn’t have the luxury of buying a hundred $50 games, so I rented what I could get and had some great experiences and some not so good. Games like Donkey Kong 64, Super Mario 64, and Majora’s Mask took me a long time to beat because I was a kid still learning how video games worked. And multiplayer games like Goldeneye and Starfox brought friends over again and again. I didn’t even have a second console until 2009 with the PS2.

>>7251058
>one of the most beloved games decades later and presented at the Smithsonium for their greatest video games exhibits isn’t good
C’mon

>>7253813
It’s funny how the same autist that makes these threads on a daily basis trashes the N64 for being only successful in America while saying the Saturn is better due to outselling it in only one country. And how vast the Saturn’s library was despite barely any of it’s games selling well. Only one or two Saturn games sold over a million copies.

>>7247427
It had good games.

>>7247457

N64 was the console if you had friends. PS1 was for the lonely kids who sat alone at school.

>>7253852
>Only one or two Saturn games sold over a million copies.
Donkey Kong 64 sold over 5million units. One of 64s best sellers. I would rather play shitty Croc than DK64.

>>7254164
Croc still sucks.

>>7254164
DK64 is based as fuck. I'm sorry you couldn't enjoy it.

>>7254262
Thanks for pointing out what I already said.

>>7253813
Maybe the N64 would have been more successful if it had gotten some fucking games?

Also, just like that other anon said, the N64 sold better than Saturn and Saturn got like 20+ Capcom games and most of its fighters.

And before people say it's limitations they could have used the expansion Pak which the Saturn also had to use for the same games.

>>7253852
Who cares you autist

>>7249975
Because for years Nintensharts non-stop shittalked the PSX and Saturn. You're now seeing the pushback. Funnily enough, you won't be there to claim what's wrong with people when another PSX/SS bashing thread gets made.

It won't let up. People can't seem to cope with how well regarded the N64 was and still is to a degree. In this day and age it is drowned out by whiny contrarianism purported by tribalistic manchildren who are always looking to circlejerk their hateboners for the console. It's not going to get better. Personally I'm going to keep loving the N64 as I always have.

>>7255848
This. 1997 to 2001 everyone and their grandma had a modded Playstation, a Blockbuster (or local mom and pop) rental membership, a spool of CD-Rs and a CD Burner.

Rent a game for the weekend, own it forever. Then share your new burn with all your friends. The only pro arguement for the Playstation side is imagine how many copies of FF7 would have sold over Zelda OoT without the pirating. But it's what helped Sony move consoles over software, people knew it was a free meal console at a time where it could be seen as black magic

>>7249731
the ps1 had tons of fighting games (including exclusives like bushido blade, tobal, evil zone, gundam battle assault 2, slap happy rhythm busters, etc.), tons of shmups (again, including exclusives like einhander, harmful park, internal section, etc.) and was also stacked with survival horror, racing and light gun games. it wasn't just rpgs.

>>7249845
such as silent hill, overblood, galerians, echo night, hellnight, etc. all the n64 had was shitty botched resident evil ports.

>>7256268
>The only pro arguement for the Playstation side is imagine how many copies of FF7 would have sold over Zelda OoT without the pirating

FFVII outsold every single Nintoddler game besides SM64 which was bundled with the console.

The RE2 port was actually surprisingly good, considering they crammed 2 discs full of content (minus a cutscene) into one cartridge, also has exclusive features like a randomiser mode and a superior movement control scheme.

>>7247427
I think the PS1 is the better system by a mile, but you are an insufferable fool.
>Conveniently omits the fact that SM64 and OOT, two of the best games of all time, came out on the 64

>>7258127
If mario 64 and ocarina are "the best games of all time", why the n64 was not a huge sucess across every region ? How could everyone but americans miss this "mark" in the gaming history. What about nintendo not even bothering to make a remake of the two of their best games of all time? Are they really that blind to miss so much money?

As you see, the subjective argument of ocarina and m64 being the best games of all time is not a reality.

>>7258197
He cute

>>7259116
>why the n64 was not a huge sucess across every region ?
Because Japan and Europe have shit taste in games. Seriously the nips were only playing shitty JRPGs and Europe was only interested in GT and Fifa.

>>7260025
Also it was well known that the Playstation was a free ticket for free games.

Japan and Europe were ahead in CD burning and VCD tech and were already making CD copies back in 1994.

By 1997, peak N64/PS war; why get a N64 and have to buy expensive cartridges when you can burn 100s of games for the cost of a spindle of 20 CD-Rs.

>>7260108
This is also what hurt the Dreamcast, it was late to the game but the CD burning culture was at peak performance with no need for even mod chips and you even had stores in China Town selling copied games to save ya the trouble of renting and burning yourself.

Did great for Sony / Sega hardware. Did terrible for Sony and Sega software.

Sony survived because it's Sony with it's other revenue, Sega on the other hand.....

I remember a kid in school who bought the N64 on launch day.
