    Classic Game Room reviews the NINTENDO 64 video game console from Nintendo released in 1996. The N64 is Nintendo's 64-bit answer to the Atari Jaguar and plays videogame cartridges instead of CDs like the Playstation and Sega Saturn. This video review of Nintendo 64 shows a gray N64 videogame console with a matte grey finish and blue controller. The N64 is the successor to the Super Nintendo SNES game console (and uses the same wires) and the predecessor to the Nintendo Gamecube and Nintendo Wii. This CGR review of Nintendo 64 system shows the N64 game system in glorious HD video.

    The Nintendo 64 was and still is an awesome console, I remember getting this on Christmas of 1998. The first two games I ever own was Pokemon Stadium 1 and The Legend Of Zelda : Ocarina Of Time. It's my favorite console of all time. :)

      @sebadcabre 9 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I have to agree , easily one of the best consoles ever IMO. Unfortunately I had no chance to have it when it came out , but I recently bought it just to play those legendary plataformers (the Banjos ,CBFD ,DK, Super Mario, etc).

      I surprisingly liked the N64 being completely skipped the console purely because of Financial reason and I'm basically too young to own more than one console per generation at the time. (owned a PS1 obviously)
      One thing N64 really trounced PS1 was its reliability I gone through 3 PS1 for the past 10+ years yet an N64 I bought last year probably 19 year old system still works flawlessly.
      The only thing that prevents me from enjoy N64 to the fullest unfortunately was the controller it was pretty fragile,quite ironic since the console was/is rock solid reliable.
      Very friendly console for collectors,and just retro gaming appreciators like me.

      buy a 1st gen wii instead unless you dont want that whole library of games. or if you want to get the gba to ngc adapter, which is only compatible with an original ngc. the original wii has a gamecube system built in pretty much. wii's have 4 controller ports for ngc and 2 memory card slots like the original ngc. the only thing you'll need is 1(4) ngc controllers and some memory cards and youre set, just buy games. plus wii's and ngc are pretty much the same price depending on where you look. ive seen both around 50 and below.

    Well, the 6th generation consoles did some things better than their competitors. Playstation 2 was always better with simulation games, GameCube was a powerhouse with multiplayer and 1st party, Dreamcast had amazing fantasy and arcade games and Xbox was amazing with scifi games and a bit of simulation, also well known for its first person shooters. Console design, they couldn't be more different, I think in the 7th generation, it was only the Wii that really stood out, the Xbox 360 and PS3 kinda did the same thing.

      That's why you should never let anyone borrow anything; especially consoles. I learned this the hard way too, but by using this Scroogelike philosophy I still have all my consoles and games from Nintendo to the Wii and PS3, with the Segas in between. I had to rebuy my N64, but fortunately it was cheap, but the games have held their value well. Ouch!

      The n64 cartridges were big. But can't hold lots of data. Nintendo 3ds cartridges can hold up to 8 gb of memory and is smaller. SD card isn't a cartridge but it is way smaller than the Nintendo 3DS and holds ALOT More. A MICRO SD Card is EVEN smaller than the sad card and can hold more than the regular sad card

    I was a late bloomer, but I remember the N64's later years fondly. I was unable to get one until a year or so after it was discontinued, but I never regretted my purchase. I spent hours with Mario Kart 64 and Super Smash Bros. My Brother-in-law lent me Ocarina of Time, and I've been a Zelda fan ever since. And my N64 still works, though it's not overly fond of newer TVs.

    It funny how when he placed the N64 and the Panasonic beside each other, I immediately thought to myself "the Panasonic doesn't work, does it?", and it turned out it didn't xD
    On the same note, if I go to a garage sale (for lack of better word), and I see a Panasonic or Philips CD-I, I immediately become skeptic and assume the sh*t doesn't work, however, if I see an N64, SNES, or NES for that matter, I automatically assume that they are still in working order--- I dunno, maybe it's because they are cartridge based that I think that way.

    • @zephiel123

      PikaLink91 Even the GameCube has a better build quality than most disc based systems (though i have heard some earlier models suffered from hardware issues. Luckily, mine hasnt yet. But i do have a newer model for backup.) PS1 probably had it the worst though. You literally have to turn the damn thing with the disc side facing down so it will spin properly.

    They should rerelease the n64 maybe n65. With today's microchip technology so much could be squished on a cartridge. Plus the n64 is just awesome.

    The biggest downfalls were the 4kb Texture memory, high-latency rambus memory, and shoddy control-stick that breaks more often than the original 360 Red Ringed.

    • @TomMezzie

      you can buy a controller with a normal gamecube like control stick just look it up.

    • @xXRenaxChanXx
      @xXRenaxChanXx 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Yes. but they're both expensive and overly-sensitive making playing games that require the control-stick pretty much impossible.

    • @SimonvCleef
      @SimonvCleef 10 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It's not about the quantity... but the quality of the games matter! I both had the PS1 and the N64 and they both have the same amount of GOOD games, if you skip all the bad/weak games. I had fun with both consoles at the time, but I think the N64 was clearly superior because it brought a lot of new things to the table.

    • @slavathecar
      @slavathecar 9 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The reason N64 was not nearly as succesful as the PS1 was because it refused the move with the times, the things that made it bad then make it good now ironically but still I just pointed out that it didn't have much games and many people even try to collect the whole library, I know that the ones that were were great but that's not what I meant, I didn't say anything about the quality of the games but their quantity because that was the topic of converaation

    • @SimonvCleef
      @SimonvCleef 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Slavko Gelo I understand what you say and i respect your opinion. But still the N64 didn't have so few games after all. And some games you could play for weeks/months and didn't get bored with. Still part of quantity has to be quality based (or how long you can play a single game). For example do you know ho much games were released on the first atari (even before the nes system)? They were releasing does games like madness. :P But very few were good. Same thing can be said for the complete ps1 library. Overall it would be kind of disappointing, but if you only look at the good ones or the games that are still oke, than it would break even with the N64. Also you mentioned success... it's kind of hard to decide which one was more successful. You would've to ask yourself if total sales of the console is enough or that you've to look in retrospect which console made more impact on gaming overall. Like you said the N64 had a lot of things keeping it back from becoming a super selling machine. It was expensive, the games were always a lot more expensive (some even 80-90 euro's... euro weren't there yet but i recount it in euro's), the library was indeed a lot smaller than the ps1 library (almost every console has a smaller library than the ps1... i think) and one of the most important things: the ps1 or playstation could easily be hard modded. It was one of the first consoles everybody (or at least a lot of people/casual gamers) hard modded back in the days. It's the same with the success of the wii. Part of it is that it attracted casual gamers, but I think a bigger part of it was because it's one of the easiest consoles to softmod and that it was dirt cheap so low risk. If you can mod a console... and be able to have a lot of games for it... it's way more interesting than a console that is nearly impossible to hard/softmod and that has games that are very expensive like the N64. I know... I know the N64 also can have an add-on and is able to play copied games. But nobody had such a thing at that time. Sorry if my answer became a bit long... but i wanted to explain that success is something hard to measure. Same thing can be said for the DS btw...

    I remember being in Year 4 so I was 8 years old and me and my freinds we're talking about video games. He and everyone else had the PS2 (wow so many years when the PS2 was the system to own) anyway him and another friend we talking about Jak 2 and I didn't have the system, just the 64. They we're trying to get me jealous because I didn'y have the PS2 yet and I was talking about all the brilliant games I had for it and they just laughted and I was like 'Shut your tits, come round and play it' Okay I didn't say tits but you get the idea. We played Goldeneye, Mario 64, Perfect Dark, 1080 and Majora's Mask and his hands were glued to the controller, he couldn't put it down he was that addicted to the games. Not so shitty now is it? Bunch of jerks.

    One small thing I liked about the N64 was the screen effects on certain games when you hit the reset button. There are probably a few videos showing them on TH-cam, but if there are, I seem to be using the wrong combination of keywords 'cause I can't find 'em.

    Those were the days. Three different consoles, three unique experiences. The N64 had carts and Nintendo, Rare, and stuff just not found elsewhere due to the cartridge format. The PlayStation has the third party companies, and a ton of JRPG’s. Just a little bit of everything. The Saturn had awesome import games, and was powerhouse in the 2D department. Saga games were great, 2D fighters and my favorite genre, shooters, or space shooters, whatever you want to call them rocked my tiny little world. Those were the days.
