In regards to Captain N64 comment, Ocarina of Time is regarded as THE best game ever in many gaming networks and Superman 64 is so awful it makes people sick just thinking about it. Bubsy 3D was really bad but not Superman bad. And Shaq Fu isn’t just for the SNES so it loses some steam in that sense.

At 32 yrs old I just got one. I love it and my very young kids cant destroy the carts. 3 year olds love destroying cd/dvd’s. Carts are way better in this regard.

Well I think the point was that OoT and Superman 64 are often regarded as the very best and very worst ever. Of course, there are people that disagree.

“The N64 has the honor of being one of the only consoles to host one of the greatest games of all-time (Legend of Zelda: OoT), as well as one of the worst of all-time (Superman 64)”

This is a really weird statement to make considering that it can be said of almost any major console. The SNES had Zelda III as well as Shaq-Fu, for example, and the PS1 had FFVII as well as Bubsy 3D.

That’s why I didn’t had a N64 in the lunch time. You got to buy a memory pack, a tremor pack, a expansion pack, pack pack pack… On the sony, you buy a memory card, and that’s it (mines I got free when bought the console). The sony’s controller was extremelly better too…
In other hand, great exclusive games, make the console worth a while. With the classics rescue, I think that someday a 64 will have even less value. I will keep one for me, anyway

Great article.

Chris,

It’s the expansion port where the dd64 thing plugs in, barely ever used!
