Brand: Nintendo EAN: 0045496850241 Label: Nintendo Manufacturer: Nintendo Model: Nintendo 64 MPN: Nintendo 64 Platform: Nintendo 64 Publisher: Nintendo Studio: Nintendo Editorial Review: Editorial Review: Nintendo first dabbled in video games during the industry's early years of the mid-'70s. Generations of successful gaming console releases through the years led to the much-hyped 1996 launch of Nintendo 64, a system that represented a giant evolutionary leap in video game technology. Within the first three days of launch, hundreds of thousands of gamers hunkered down with Mario 64, considered by many to be one of the greatest video games ever created. Even today, the system's excellent design continues to host an ever-expanding library of breakthrough games. Nintendo 64's popularity among younger gamers is no surprise. Well-respected games featuring such long-lived and much-loved personalities as Mario (of arcade classic Donkey Kong fame), Zelda, and Banjo-Kazooie are easy to learn and offer enormous replay value. But times are a' changin' and the system's ever-growing library of titles has expanded into every genre of games imaginable, including games better suited for older gamers. In fact, some of the most acclaimed--in some cases, groundbreaking--games available on any platform today are packed onto N64's old-school cartridges. Under the system's hood, its appeal to the young certainly didn't produce a less mature gaming machine. On the contrary, the 64-bit system boasts impressive graphics, stereo sound, and numerous accessory enhancements, including a high-resolution pack that boosts graphics to awe-inspiring resolutions. Start your library with Goldeneye 007, Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, and Star Wars: Episode One Racer--these titles represent a decent start to any N64 cartridge library. With the recent launch of Sega's Dreamcast system, Nintendo 64 is being left behind as the leader in video game technology. And with newer game systems featuring CD-based games, the system's expensive cartridge format is proving itself an archaic and unconventional storage format. But, at a sub-$110 recommended retail price for a console with two controllers, innovative accessory enhancements and a great library of games keep the system's rabid fan base satisfied, if not eager for Nintendo's next evolutionary step. --Eric Twelker Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Nintendo 64: One of the Best Systems Ever Made, Now DiscontinuedThe Nintendo 64 had a small, yet a great library of games, including the best-selling The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. This console had the best-looking kiosk in retail stores. But when the Gamecube came out in 2001, that, unfortunately, marked the end of the Nintendo 64. Nintendo published very few games for this system after the Gamecube came out. The last game that was published for this system was Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, which, if you're lucky, ...

Nintendo started off making small hand held electroic games before creating the 8 bit system in the 80's. And when they released the Super Nes they had the 2 greatest home video game systems of the day. Sega never stood a chance because they rushed things just to compete with nintendo, where as nintendo took there time when releasing systems to make sure they where the best they could be. Only the people whose mothers bought them a Sega ...

Rating: - Amazing Console with amazing games..The N64 had some of the best games on the planet and eventhough N64 was a great system it ended too quickly cause of the Gamecube. The N64 launched in some were in 96' and it launched some great titles and some incredible games. The N64 is one of the best systems ever but it also had a short lived history. I mean they could have come up with wayyyyyy more games No... The N64 was one of Nintendo's finest and is probably better then the gamecube. The gamecube didn't have much launch games ...
