    I'm not sure if it was Miyamoto or someone else on the development team, but I remember reading a quote (and I'm paraphrasing here); "Our first goal was to make Mario fun to control. We thought, if the player can't have fun just running around and playing with how Mario moves, the game won't be good. So that was our first priority: making him fun to control."

    What I most appreciate about this era of gaming was that each console was unique and offered a different experience. That said I think the 3D action/platformers on the N64 games aged better than PS1 or Saturn. Going back to the era of tank controls is tough and the fact that Mario 64 is still playable by today's standards says alot.

    • @SuspiciousScout

People tend to gloss over Sony’s side of the story and ignore Nintendo’s for the most part. With their initial agreement as follows: Any Nintendo game like Mario or Zelda on the Super CD format would be going into Sony’s pockets instead of Nintendo’s and had Nintendo and Sony worked around their differences, PlayStation wouldn’t be in the same league as it is today.

      Seriously, the deal Sony was offering Nintendo was awful. They would have been stupid to take it. The real mistakes came in the aftermath of that decision. Sticking with cartridges was a misread of the market. And Nintendo didn't do much to counter Sony wooing over all the 3rd party developers with good support and generous licensing terms for the PlayStation.
      A big part of the reason Sony stole so much market share from Nintendo and Sega was because it stole the attention of all the 3rd party developers.

    I was the only one in my friend group to choose a Playstation over N64 back in middle school. I was more focused on single player games and I was very happy with my choice in that regard, but when we were hanging out, we were all about the N64. Each system dabbled in both, but that was pretty much the choice you had to make back then: N64 for the best multiplayer experience, or Playstation for the most (and arguably, best) single player options.

    We had an N64 during the prime of my childhood. We had enough time between game acquisitions that I never noticed a drought. It helped that so many of the games were really good. N64 was the best for 3D platformers and arcade-style racing games.
    Late in the console cycle we randomly got a PS1 for Christmas one year. I don't remember anybody asking for it, but it ended up having some fun games. My main takeaway from it, though, was "why does it load so slow?"
    One thing I really liked about the N64, and which increased its multiplayer versatility, was that each controller had its own memory card slot (Nintendo called them Controller Paks). It was nice to take your controller to your friend's house and have your data with you. Gamecube weirded me out when it had four controller ports but only two memory card slots. I remember my friend had one Gamecube game that allowed all four players to use their own save data, and you had to do some annoying card-swapping to make it happen.

    Random N64 fact!: The N64 doesn't have a proprietary sound chip in the console. Instead, instruments were compiled into an SF2 (or soundfont) file and MIDIs became standard on the console. This is why you technically can't replicate the sound of the N64: because it had multiple sounds!

    Honestly, I think cartridges were a good idea. Not from a sales perspective, but so many PS1 games used video and audio in unnecessary ways. Think of how many of them shoved as much FMV's or audio as possible and how many of them actually used that space to be ambitious. The N64 in comparison, the limited space made almost every game ambitious. I don't doubt it was harder to work with, but it ultimately made for more unique games.

    I remember this era so fondly. Technology moved so fast back then. We went from the SNES to the GameCube in 10 years. The two year head start Sony had was real. I was/am a huge Nintendo fan but myself and all my friends picked up PlayStations. 3d was big and Sony had big third party support. However, when the N64 came out, a lot of us went back to Nintendo and we had so much more fun. Mario 64 was mind blowing. OOT was a masterpiece. The multiplayer couch coop was unreal. Goldeneye, Wave Race, Mario Kart, Smash bros, Mario Party and Starfox. It was so much fun. It didn't last long though because the Dreamcast was out in 1999 and the PS2 in 2000. Everyone I knew bought a PS2 because it was the cheapest DVD player you could buy. Looking back now, it was arguably the worst console of the generation, but Sony had such deep pockets and they had the right product at the right time. I have purchased most consoles since the 1980s and, by far, my friends and I have always enjoyed Nintendo consoles the most because their focus on quality just can't be beat. Nintendo has had missteps along the way and they've missed out on some fads, but they truly know how to offer a unique gaming experience.

      Not really, Sega probably bothered to ship units to Japanese retailers ontime whereas in the US there weren't enough of them to satisfy the pre-orders because Sega decided to bump up the launch date significantly.
      My brother had a Saturn and it was a pretty decent system. I've got a Dreamcast and it's a shame that it didn't get more time as it was a great console. The main issue I have with the systems is that they're disc based which makes for some issues in terms of preserving the games as optical discs are sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity.

    One of my biggest problems with the N64 was its lack of growing up with its audience. It was announced during Nintendo's 'Play It Loud" era which was trying to push the brand to teens. I still remember getting chills hearing the ULTRA 64 announcement coming out of a Killer Instinct Arcade cabinet a violent fighter. Even the original naming and logo of the Ultra 64 made it seem like it was going for what the Genesis did a few years earlier. In reality we got a console mostly aimed at the same age range that the SNES was targeting and crappy a port of KI2. Yea I enjoyed some game but it felt incomplete and as a teen I purchased a PS1 as well to round out that generation.

      I feel like not only was the Playstation superior and more innovative than the N64 but even the Saturn was debatably better too. Sticking with cartridges killed a large amount of interest before the thing even launched. Do you want the popular system with both tons of epic games, the biggest third-party support, and arcade-perfect ports? Do you go with the main alternative with seemingly endless hidden gems and JRPGs to discover, as well as a massive import scene? Or do you go with the console that has next to no surprises and a dildo for a controller? Oh, and Quest 64.

      The 64 (obviously) had a lot of problems, as do every Nintendo console, but the older i get the more i realize the company's ups and downs have more to do with culture than anything else.
      From the mid 90s to the early 2000s, most people shifted their mindsets on video games, and decided they only wanted gritty, mature, and realistic games. Now, people seem to be shifting away from that, and now prefer nostalgia over everything else. Meanwhile, Nintendo never changed their strategy. They continued to do what they did best, regardless of reception. This has been both a good and a bad thing for them. Its bad in the short term, because they often appear tone deaf. But its great in the long term, because people have come to learn that they can always rely on them.

    I always felt like the launch of the 3D era was a bit like that friend that you showed a cool video game or hobby to... and five minutes later they're experts on the subject.
    Like, a year after 3D's been out, and every video game manufacturer acts like they've been doing this since 1996. Which they have, but replace 1997 with 2040. They got too ahead of themselves, good thing Scott only sees in five frames a second.

    Game packaging: “why does Scott have so many Atari carts?”
    N64: “HOW TF DID HE FIND (not) A 64DD?!”
    Also, does Scott not remember that Ocarina of time was originally titled “Zelda 64”? This is one case where I’m glad the 64 subtitled wasn’t applied to a game

    Forgetting a Scott the Woz episode is probably one of the best feelings to have.
    For me, it means being able to watch it again while still being able to truthfully laugh at the humor.
