Representin' the N64

by Alisha Karabinus { Jan 2nd 2008 at 1:30PM }

Okay, so maybe the N64 wasn't the best console Nintendo ever put out, but we have some fond memories of hours poured into the system's best games. Ocarina of Time, GoldenEye, Super Smash Bros. ... ah, yes. How we loved you all. In fact, when we noticed this controller charm, we couldn't help but sniffle a little. Sure, it's ... um ... plasticky, but it's hell of 90s, and it still evokes those happy memories. Our controllers were never that shiny, though.

Ah man, I loved the N64. So many fond memories of playing GoldenEye, Smash Bros., PilotWings, Pokemon Snap, Cruisin' USA...

The '64 pretty muchs pwns. But, eh, that controller looks kinda gross. Like someone was just eating McDonalds, and got their greasy hands all over the controller =/

Eewww.

They need Donkey Kong 64 and the original Smash Bros. on VC. Then eventually I'll have the whole Smash Bros. trio after Brawl is released.
Ah, I remember using that weird controller. I had a DK 64 bundle so my N64 and controllers were see-through green. I sure had a lot of 64 games. You know, I'm still stuck on Super Mario 64 yet I'm 3 stars from 120 stars on Mario Galaxy. I think that older games were harder than today's games.

Not the be.....Nintendo 64 was a classic system. There are many many many classic games that are still better then what Nintendo is pushing out today. If even, the newer systems still have alot to learn. Twilight Princess is still not better then OOT and Mario Galaxy is still not better then Mario 64. Goldeneye is still #1 FPS on the console.

N64 was my favorite Nintendo console indeed. I always felt its controller was better than GC. Dual analog isn't good. Nothing felt better than playing Turok 1/2/3 or Goldeneye with the Analog and 4 C-Buttons......and that Z trigger in just the right spot!

The Saturn was better.

We need downloadable versions of Virtua Cop asap.

N64 was a Multiplayer god. Outside of MK:Double Dash and Smash Bros. : Melee for GC nothing touches Multi-player like the N64 games did. I remember turning on the N64 right after school and playing with my brother and our 2 friends until late. Off hand, the AKI wrestling games (No Mercy, World Tour, Revenge, etc.) Mario Tennis, the Mario Parties, Golden Eye, Perfect Dark, the original Smash Bros., Star Fox 64, Blast Corps, Diddy Kong Racing, Mario Kart 64, etc. I love my N64. Still own it and it still works.

Heh, guess what I still do today? Super Smash Brothers on the N64 right after school with my bro and his friends. Occasionally we play Star Fox or Mario Kart. The N64 is still fun. We just got a new controller off eBay too. Nothin' comes close to that multiplayer 'cept for online games...Then it means you don't have friends:P
