Nintendo 64, best Nintendo console?

The Nintendo 64 had some of the best graphics, best 3-D, and best game play that I played out of every Nintendo console I've had. It was also very, very durable, made like the XBOX, with a had outer shell. The games, as I said were significant. With titles like Zelda: Ocarina of Time that pushed you to a time zone. Games like Super Mario 64, that had a HUGE impact on the 3D gaming we know today. Games like Super Smash Brothers, that brought together Nintendo characters, and made them brawl!

P.S. If you think there was a better Nintendo console other than the Wii, post it! 

Please don't tell me you think that the Playstation brand was better. Or Sega, or Atari, or even the XBOX brand, because this is about the Nintendo consoles (other than the Wii).

Thank you, enjoy!!!

Its hard to say, because Super Nintendo was also great, and many elements of its games have lasted since. But you're right, Mario 64 and Zelda have a lasting legacy we can even see today. I'd tepidly say N64 is the best Nintendo, followed by SNES very closely. If N64 is a 10, then SNES is a 9.9tallicfan20

Incorrect. The PSX Dual Analog controller was released in 1997. The Dual Shock was released in 1999.

And the SNES was the best Nintendo console ever made hands down. The N64 doesn't even come close.

The 64 had a lot of problems where the game you just rented may or may not work with your N64.  Since I had a launch system, some of those games were the middle-of-the-lifecycle titles like Hybrid Heaven and Alydn Chronicles.  When you got into the starting cutscene, my system would drag, literally giving me a N64 polygon-based slideshow that nearly had me retching.

Also, Earthworm Jim 64, the only game to ever give me motion sickness, thereby instantly giving the Gamecube my title of best Nintendo system.

[QUOTE="AquaD4060"][QUOTE="tallicfan20"] not to mention the analog stick, which every system now has, that N64 popularized. PSX didn't even add one until 1999.KlownMaster

Yeah, probably, but people were pissed at Sega already. Lol. Yeah, I bet the SNES is better, may buy one on eBay just to play games like Super Mario and Duck Hunt or something.

well you cant leave out the wii in a poll about best nintendo console if someone thinks its the best. my order would go snes, nes, wii, gamecube, n64

What complete rubbish. The N64 was a disaster. It isn't necessary to bring up the PlayStation or whatever; just compare the innovation and sheer amount of GREAT games of Nintendo's earlier systems with that of the N64. It doesn't hold up at all.

You must be comparing to some of the worst systems ever released, definately not the NES or the SNES.

[QUOTE="KlownMaster"][QUOTE="AquaD4060"] Yeah. Without it, the XBOX, and Playstation would be full D-Pad. Nice point.AquaD4060

Oh, yeah? It seems you know your stuff.

but even that had some good titles for me the 2600 is the worst i own , sure ack then it was fun but nope pac man got old real quick especailly when its on every platform known to man lol

Unlike you, I don't consider all of those games to be masterpieces. And even though they are among the best for the system, they're two handfuls of games, while there almost 2000 games for the SNES, many of which are great. You are comparing a console with 300-400 games at most - many of which are total crap, except for a tiny portion that you posted right now - with a console that has hundreds of great games. Games that LOOK good too (which can't be said about any of the games for the N64).

You post 10 games and expect me to be impressed? Yeah, so besides those, what games are there for the N64? With the exception of perhaps one more handful of games, complete rubbish! This is silly.

Super Nintendo still rules. The Wii is on its way to greatness, but hasn't reached legendary status yet.

1. SNES
2. Wii
3. GC
4. N64

I'm not going to include the original NES on the list because it's in a class all by itself.
