The Virtual Boy was clunky, gimmicky, and big enough to count as a console so I'm going to say you're wrong.

The N64 didn't even have more platformers than the PS1. Now's the part where you reply to me with a tryhard generalization like "all PS1 platformers were shit."

If you praise the Wii at all you're obviously a Generation Z skidmark. Worse than that, since it had no multiplats. It's success was solely down to WiiFit being something every senile fucker had to have. All the normal kids had a 360 or a PS3.

OoT and MM were decent games, and the Wiis are just as utterly incompetent as each other.
>>337214717
Well, most of them were developed by Rare, but then they also accounted for probably 80% of the N64's 8.0 or above exclusives

>>337214717
>Just that N64 has better platformers on the whole.
Complete delusion. Crash and Spyro alone absolutely destroy Rare's meaningless collectathons and Mario 64.
And then you have games like Oddworld, and Rayman as the icing on the fucking cake.
Almost every console Nintendo has released had something special, something new about it.
NES brought classical arcade games into homes, as well as implemented an cartridge system which was quite great for that time.
SNES is an amazing, upgraded version of the NES, featuring larger RAM, more computability etc. , not to mention the amazing list of games for that (F-Zero, Super Castlevania, and many more)
N64 had a much better graphics unit, which allowed to finally ascend into 3D video games. They weren't good, but it was the maiden voyage for 3D-games, not simply 2D-objects in an "3D" environment.
GCN. Oh the GCN. Similar to the SNES/NES compairson, it's an upgraded, smaller N64 version with an interesting list of games. Sadly though quite many of these already existed on the N64 and were simply ported to GCN.
The Wii was Nintendo's chance to jump onto the hype-train of Playstation's Eye. People wanted to try out playing games not only bound to a controller, but also bound to movement, which was amazingly innovative back then. (Fuck the Wii is old)
WiiU is an upgraded Wii. Period. It wasn't really necessary. It's good, but unnecessary.
All of these consoles are great. But of these the WiiU ranks the worst. Except for the idea of having a touchscreen with a gyroscope as a controller for a console (how great is that?), Nintendo could've waited another year and could have released it with much better specs, making it a much more powerful console.
I'm not going to mention the portable consoles. In my opinion, GBC and DS were the most interesting developments, everything before that was meh. Also the 3DS, what the fuck.
>>337214783
>n64
>any way superior to either Wii
>>337215017
Rare is so overrated. Don't get me wrong, they made some fun games, but during the N64 era, you could tell they were just cutting and pasting with the same formula for every game they did. And the best platformer for the N64 (Mario 64) wasn't even developed by them. And Rare eventually left Nintendo with Star Fox Adventures and Donkey Kong Country Returns didn't need them to be as good as the originals. Fuck em.

It offers a reasonable challenge with actual instant death traps, compared to trash like Banjo where you can take 5 hits and then just pick up some honey to keep trucking. It's a 2D platformer in 3D, which was rare and wonderful to see.
>but the level design, gameplay and camera controls aren't nearly as good as Mario64.
We're talking 3 games vs 1 here. Far more levels, not as many lazy re-uses of the same level (Tiny-Huge Island, anyone?), gameplay is a personal preference here, but the second you imply that Mario 64 had even a passable camera is the second I know you don't have an argument.
>>337215386
Now remove all the multiplats you listed to pad out the N64 list. You're left with absolute trash like Kirby 64 and Chameleon Twist.

This shit is how I know you weren't there at the time. None of the most popular NES games were arcade titles. In fact, SNES was much better for arcade ports (And even then, it wasn't as good for that as the Genesis, god forbid either of them sniffed the greatness that was the Neo-Geo).
Original Gameboy was dope as fuck. Tetris became a household name on that motherfucker. Pokemon launched on that motherfucker. GBC was just GB with really shitty color pallet, and Pokemon GS. That's it.
N64's games were great. They just didn't do so well with third parties due to Nintendo's draconian fees they charged devs, compared to Sony's cheap licensing, as well as Cartridges being too expensive to develop for at times (This is why nearly all JRPGs were on PS instead of 64).
The games weren't the problem for the 64, it was the technology. This became a pattern with the Gamecube (No legit second control stick, no online service), Wii (Underpowered as fuck, archaic online service), and Wii U (Underpowered as fuck, hard to utilize controller, Nintendo's SDK sucks)
>>337215242
>But of these the WiiU ranks the worst.
Why? Based on everything you listed as well as your line of reasoning, there's no reason to rank it below the N64 other than it didn't satisfy all your expectations.

I have got to admit that I wasn't there at that time, but it was Nintendos attempt to make people actually play on a console instead of heading into the arcade to play video games.
GBC was quite revolutionary. Handheld consoles already existed in a way (such as the Lynx) which already supported color, but the GBC just did that much better, which makes the GBC for me a noteworthy portable console.
Agreed on N64
Agreed on Wii/Wii U. They could've waited another year or so to implement much better hardware.
>>337216451
The reason for me to rank it below the N64 is the lack of innovativity. Alright, it had that touchscreen with a gyroscope in it, but that simply doesn't cut it. The graphics were better, but it was still "another" Wii. The online support is better, but still lousy.

N64 had pretty bad games all around, I can inky think of 8-9 games that are actually good for that system. Also, when one of your best games is a fucking photography game, then you know your system is shit
>>337217696

>>337217696
Both Zeldas, Mario 64, Kart, Fzero, Star Fox, Paper Mario, Donkey Kong, Banjo Kazooie /Tooie, Conker, Killer Instinct, Smash bros, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark off top of my head. That's much more than what the WiiU and the Ps4 have to offer right now.
>>337217307
>Oh you know, just inventing the modern use of the analog stick (that is, a replacement for the D-pad and not a massive joystick you use with one whole hand).
Not really, Sega technically did it first.
>It also has the two games that shaped the future of video games.
And those would be?
>>337217345
The SNES did 3D graphics better than the 64 famm. And one of the most visually appealing games on the 64 is Mischief Makers, which makes little use of the system's 3D capabilities. There's a reason Nintendo remade Star Fox 64 and Mario 64, because the originals' graphics did not age very well and even during their own time they weren't really that great when you saw what the PS1 was capable of by 1997. The difference is especially notable in multiplats as well.
>>337217464
>Analogue stick
Again, the 64 can't really be attributed this. Both Sega and Nintendo released their analog stick controllers around the same time. Sony was just a little late to the party.
>rumble
Eh
>expandable ram
I'll give you this, I guess.
>>337217190
>And the 64 was innovative in what way?
Under the hood, the N64 3D hardware was extremely innovative.
It's the first example of consumer-level 3D hardware across all platforms (PC included) that has:
- a GPU with hardware T&L
- a fully programmable vertex shader (T&L is micro-programmable)
- a pixel shader (via color combiner)
- reflection mapping
- anti-aliasing
It took until 2001 before a PC got a GPU with all of the above capabilities (GeForce 3)

But it didn't catch on because its only useful for 3D games. And Sega somehow didn't include one for the Saturn.

Mario64 and OoT. This shit should be common knowledge now, there are even two developers I can think of off the top of my head who outright said that they were directly inspired by those games. Those developers being one of the guys who made Conker from the dev commentary on youtube (can't remember right now) and Dan Houser from Rockstar when asked about his inspiration for GTA 3.

AN SNES/GENESIS GAME, DUMBASS.
STREET FIGHTER, I REPEAT, STREET FIGHTER WAS NEVER ON NES.
Also, Lynx was total garbage. GBA was the first portable console to have battery life, and good titles.
If we want to talk color, the Game Gear had full 16 bit graphics, and was technically superior to the GB, but everyone bought GB instead because of the battery life, Tetris, and Pokemon.
Game Boy Color didn't really have any good system sellers until Pokemon GS. Even then, GBA hit shortly after, and everyone bought one of those.
>>337217779
Because they are?
Jet moto was a better wave racing game, and there's 3 of them in ps1. Spyro is better than banjo, crash and rayman 1 are better than any other platform we on n64.
Perfect dark and GoldenEye are near unplayable garbage, then and now.
Crash ctr was objectively better than Mario kart or diddy Kong racing.
>yoshis story
You're left with smash, conker, Mario 64, Mario party, f zero, Pokemon snap, and star fox.

>>337218723
>Perfect Dark and GoldenEye are unplayable garbage
No.
Also, you still forgot to mention the AKI Wrestling games. WCW/NWO Revenge was the best selling third party game on the N64. Equally, WCW/NWO World Tour, Wrestlemania 2000, and No Mercy all sold like hot cakes, and were a serious source of jealousy for Playstation owners (This was when wrestling, and wrestling games, were still good).
Smackdown 2 was the closest the PS1 got to them, and it still was put to shame by No Mercy.

Wipeout is not better than F-Zero X. Wasn't true then, wasn't true now. One of them runs at 60fps, the other doesn't. Even the reviewers gave F-Zero X a higher score on average than Wipeout. There's no fucking comparison.
I'm not going to argue the PS1 is worse than the N64. It's not true. There are too many good games, and entire genera, that the N64 got shafted on.
With that said, it's better than the Wii and Wii U by an arm and a leg.

Killer Instinct Gold is one of the worst ports of the worst game in the KI series (Excluding the shitty GB game).
And I agree with you for the most part... But the N64's lineup is still stronger than the Wii U, and the Wii.
What does the Wii have? I'm seriously asking, because outside of Prime 3, the Mario Galaxy games, Sin and Punishment, and Mario Kart, all I see is mountains of crap.

First of all, power matters little if it isn't utilized and secondly, even if there are parts of the 64 that can be respected in terms of hardware, the average consumer doesn't buy systems to look inside them and ooh and ahh at the board. The question is which system produced the more impressive titles in terms of visuals, gameplay and innovative design. N64 is either second or third place in those areas.

>How can you look at the Wii U game list and not see that it has by far the least amount of good games out of all Nintendo systems?

You aren't though. At best only three games are worth having on the N64. There's 20+ worth owning on the PS1.

lmao

FF8 is the moment FF went to shit. What a shit game. The series slightly picked itself back up with 9, but then went full retard with 10 again.

Wii U owners are too pathetic even for nintendrone standards. Here you have people advocating for a box with not a single memorable game trying to talk shit about the one Nintendo console that actually fits their quality over quantity fallacy. And let's not even get into the historical relevancy of N64 titles.
>>337220331
looks good to me

How retarded do you have to be to ride Epona for 15 minutes?

>>337220421
It certainly does look good.
Until you see what the competition was doing.
>>337220424
Fuck you, I liked riding mindless with Epona and pretending to help in lon lon ranch.
>>337220564
Well considering the "competition's" game came out two years later after Soul Reaver, I guess it would be better.
>>337220634
>>337220634
They had an equal amount of experience programming for the console, considering the relative release dates of PS1 and N64 hardware
>>337220564
that looks pretty good.
too bad the game is trash
>>337220776
this 2bh
where the fuck is my legend of legaia on n64?
Alright faggots, let me educate you
>1. SUPER NINTENDO
While every single other Nintendo console is trying to do something new, this console was instead trying to take something that had already been done and make it better. As a result what we got was the pinnacle of the sprite era. Gameplay, graphics, music, storytelling, atmosphere, everything was at its peak and the 3D era has yet to come close.
>2. NINTENDO ENTERTAINMENT SYSTEM
Don't mind me, just single handedly saving the entire video game industry from being wiped out of existance. With the NES, Nintendo challenged the notion that consoles are simply home editions of arcade game-players. Games can be longer and more intuitive. You see, at the end of the day, the graphics will age, the classics still play better than 90% of what gets released today.
>3. GAMECUBE
Easily the most underrated system in Nintendy's lineup. A lot of the greats we take for granted actually started on the cube. It's a shame it didn't harbour a larger multiplat library considering it vastly outperformed the PS2 in that department and at times even the Xbox.
>4. NINTENDO 64
Sales numbers aside, this console has a chest of gems, make no mistake, arguably more than the far more popular Playstation. However, while the transition to 3D was money for some franchises, it was rougher on others. For every Ocarina of Time, we have a Superman 64.
>5. WII
Let's face the facts, this was a step down. While the GameCube had a poor multiplat library and great multiplat performance, the Wii has a poor library AND performance. That being said, when the gimmick was properly used, it worked, and the E shop certainly extended the longevity.
>6. WII U
While it has more games than it gets credit for, it has yet to make a splash, and I don't mean in sales. The fact that we have to use NSMBU on pics to justify a purchase proves this console is lacking. As it's the first console that Nintendo has officially abandoned, it's position as last is secure here.
>>337220671
FUK
>>337220872
>saving the entire video game industry from being wiped out of existance
In America. Gaming was doing just fine in Japan and Europe.
>>337220872
I agree with this
One thing that I always hated about the N64's graphics was that even in the best looking games, so much of everything looked FLAT and a lot of games lacked colour
>>337220872
>As a result what we got was the pinnacle of the sprite era.
Except the Sega Saturn is the pinnacle of the sprite era.
N64 sold better than the SNES and had by far the best 3D games of the gen. In fact SNES was pretty shit console overall.
PS fag tears are delicious when all they had was wobbly 3D and wobbly textures to look at.
GC fag tears are delicious when all the shitty games on the system were inferior clones of N64 games.
Wii fags tears are delicious when all that mountain of shovelware and waggle was marketed to your grandpa to play virtual bowling.
All other consoles don't compare to N64
N64 is going to make you all butthurt with its awesome controller for alll eternity.
>>337221018
The American market, like I think or not, dictates the flow of the worldwide vidya industry. It historically represents nearly or over half the sales for any successful console or product and ALWAYS represents the plurality. If you fail in the US, you fail worldwide.
It's the reason the dreamcast dropped out despite being successful overseas.
If the crash came in America, it would have had, on some level, a worldwide effect.
>>337220872
Spot on.
>>337220331
Soul reaver didn't look good it's environments were generic as fuck. You spend the whole game in caves that all look the same
>>337220445
Ff7 was developed for n64 hence why it looked like shit
>>337213920
This is hands down the best console Nintendo ever made and anyone who disagrees doesn't understand the importance of having lots of great games
>>337221143
>PS fag tears are delicious when all they had was wobbly 3D and wobbly textures to look at.
Sorry, I can't hear you over playing some of the best games Squaresoft, Namco & Capcom produced.
>GC fag tears are delicious when all the shitty games on the system were inferior clones of N64 games.
I'm too busy enjoying the superior version of the 64 controller and library of at least 50 games worth playing.
>Wii fags tears are delicious when all that mountain of shovelware and waggle was marketed to your grandpa to play virtual bowling.
Every system has shovelware, but the Wi''s own gems and great backwards compatibility make up for it,
>N64 is going to make you all butthurt with its awesome controller for alll eternity.
The Wii and Wii U are each like 4 or 5 systems in one (including a 64)
>>337221597
The Wii U already has at least 5 more games worth playing than the 64.
>>337221797

It didn't have the splendor of the SNES or breakout nature of NES, but it was enjoyable in its own right and owned by any person that liked local multi games with friends that gen.
I'd rank Wii as the worst as it made the company flip-flop on its direction, bank on gimmicks and head down the current path. Wii-U was simply caught in the crossfire and the unloved middle child that tried to appease both sides of the fandom.
>>337222046
Pretty sure you can find at least 50 GC games with an average critic score of at least 75-80.

I hate to break it to you guys, but as someone who had both I can honestly say the winner isthat entier gen, because both these consoles were fucking fantastic. At the very least they certainly had better libraries than their modern equivalents currently do.
>>337222224
>but it was enjoyable in its own right and owned by any person that liked local multi games with friends that gen.
I like the Playstation cause it had more games I could play by myself and where I could imagine I'm somebody with talent to make a difference in the world and is desirable to women and didn't have to feel self-conscious about my ability to play a video game in front of others
>>337219282
>They really are garbage. I had a ton of fun in goldeneye split screen, but even then I thought it played like shit.
This is hilarious. Like, the game actually holds up ridiculously well and has a straight up more solid campaign than Half-Life 2. There's literally nothing fundamentally wrong with it aside from the frame-rate.
>>337213920
How is the N64 worse than the Virtual Boy?
>>337222413
>nothing Gran Turismo didn't do
Except good graphics
>>337222742
nice strawman
>>337222927
then why does that webm look better than the other one you posted?
>>337219989
That's the point. Rare's FPS were so far ahead of their time there still isn't anything made now that compares to them point for point.
>>337217531
>OoT (invented the best camera system for 3D action games)And that's the least of its achievements.
>>337214147

Because you are losing your eyesight
>>337223387
I'm not tho
>>337213920
wiiu is nintendo's worst console.
unless somehow it gets a shitload of the best games this year, its boned.
virtual boy was marketed as a portable, even though it wasn't really. and we never got the n64dd.
>>337213920
>anyone who disagrees is just nostalgiafagging
I'd say it's quite the opposite, anyone who had N64 at launch knows that except the few launch games N64 didn't have any new release for a whole year after being released to public and when it finally started getting games, the original PlayStation already had 3 years worth of library.
>>337220872
>Don't mind me, just single handedly saving the entire video game industry from being wiped out of existance.
I really, really like this meme
>>337223502
>worst console
I'd hate to agree but it has the least amount of good games I've ever seen on anything.
Something like less than 20, right?
>>337223106
And yet they still don't quite save the 64, just help make the past generation of FPS better than the current (which is by no means a hard endeavor).
>>337223387
I honestly prefer the PS1's pixelation over the "high gloss" look of the 64 that causes everything to look like it's made of paper. But of course I also prefer quality sprite art to almost anything 3D that was on either of those two systems.
>>337220334
>Link to the Past was better
In what way? LttP fans tend to have the most nostalgia dependent views of the fanbase. The only thing it has over OoT is enemies that aren't timid as piss. There's nothing elitist about preferring LttP over OoT, it's not a deeper or more patrician game and it even goes out of its way to post the exact location of your next goal on your map. The fact that Epona is entirely optional is one of my favorite things about Ocarina anyway.
How can the PS1 even compete?
This was virtually a launch window title.
>>337223535
This was one reason why my family bought, sold and bought again so many 64's
>>337214279
But the quality of the games was also better. PSX had amazing, unique, and actually new experiences. Compare Xenogears to any other RPG released before it. What experience compares to Lovely Sweet Dream? How about the fact that the PSX had actual fighting games? N64 may have had Smash, but PSX had Tekken 3, Tobal, Toshinden, et cetera.
>>337224231
All the fighting games worth playing in that generation were found on Saturn
>>337224367
Was there a big difference between the PSX versions of SF and KoF and the Saturn versions?
>>337224231
Smash 64 is better than all the fighters you mentioned. I owned a PS1 growing up, but the best N64 titles trumped its whole lineup entirely. Going from Square RPGs to the full on 3D real time interactive worlds of Zelda puts shit in perspective, because that's the closest thing the console had.
>>337224530
>Smash 64 is better than all the fighters you mentioned.
Your bait-fu is weak
>>337224607
The kind of people that play Smash don't generally like 3d fighting games. Really, the type of people that play 2d fighting games don't like 3d fighting games that much. Part of why KoF Maximum Impact and SF EX failed (their obvious lack of quality aside)
>>337224231
The N64 really was the first real party system. It was great to have if you had at least three friends to play with regularly. PSX offered new and unique single player experiences and had better one on one fighting games while 64 focused mainly on making games for children and frat boys who felt like getting drunk and playing some Mario Party or Goldeneye.
n64=slumber party machine
psx=weeaboo and NEET machine.
>>337224803
>most of the games that people like on N64 are ching chong made shit
>still thinks that PSX is more weeaboo
As an Xboner, I can't help but laugh.
>>337222012
>wii u over the NES
>wii u over wii
What the hell are you doing? The NES had tons of games because Nintendo pretty much had control over the videogame market back then, and the Wii had more games than the Wii U, native GC controller support, no patch/DLC nonsense on storage that is too small to contain it...
>>337224895
right, cause tons of mario shit is so much more weeb than anything Square, Working Designs or Enix put on Sony's console.
>>337225036
>this autistic character that jumps higher than human beings and shoots fire from his hands dbz style is not anime because I like it
>>337224706
>The kind of people that play Smash don't generally like 3d fighting games.
Dude who made the claim here. I have played Tobal 2, and the game is excellent, especially compared to the bulk of bargain bin 3D PS1 fighters. I still can't say it's as good as Smash 64, especially since that still has a solid, if minor, competitive scene, while I'm not aware of anything equivalent for Tobal, unless you somehow consider it a spinoff of VF.
>>337223839
Just because you're too young to give a shit about it, doesn't mean it isn't true, kid.

>>337225315

I wouldn't call it a system seller and it is certainly a dumbed down YI, but in its own right it's fine.
Also, it's a God Tier game to play stoned
>>337225095
>system has DB games and other fighters with 2D animu sprites and plenty of rpg's with pixelated bug eyed waifus in fully animated 2d FMV's that feel like you're watching something on Toonami

>>337225561
Nintendō Rokujūyon
>>337224527
>Was there a big difference between the PSX versions of SF and KoF and the Saturn versions?
Yes. The PS1 versions of either have like half of the normal number of frames, while Saturn is 95% perfect.
For crossover games like vs Street Fighter, the PS1 doesn't even have the tag feature which is the whole fucking point.
>>337213920
You guys are forgetting thepokemon mini
And yet, it's still better than any sony console ever made.
