I never had one of these, I had the PSOne.

I remember going around to my mates every day after school to play that WWF wrestling game.

Yep, I remember always going over to a buddy's house and playing some WCW game. I was always Sting, and I kicked ass. He always wanted me to leave though, and I couldn't tell if it was because he didn't like me, or because I always Scorpion Death Dropped his ass

These were the classics for me.

Probably the best console ever, or maybe sentiment is gettin the better of me

Can't deny it wasn't comfortable to hold?

Think the best pad belongs to the Gamecube though

The gamecube pad was near enough perfection. I don't think I've held a more comfortable controller. Also had some great games, an underated console.

Edit : inb4 gamecube thread

I had no problems with the comfort, but I couldn't stand the fact that they made it so you couldn't seamlessly switch between the joystick and the direction pad.

Didn't think it was comfortable at all... especially when having to use the joypad (which was often), as both your hands were far too close together then they should have been.

Also, wasn't there a button on the back?? like, directly behind where the joypad was?

N64 truly was a great gaming experience, mainly because of the great games that were available

Mario Kart and Goldeneye remain 2 of the greatest games i've ever played

In terms of multiplayer it was streets ahead of the PSone.

Yes there was. The Z button, which was effectively a trigger since you had to hold the joypad like a gun.

Partially due to the ps one only supporting two players for most games. I suppose the n64 kind of pioneered four player local gaming on a grand scale.

Yup, the good old "Z-targeting" that has featured in every Zelda game since OoT was developed from that one button.

I thought the N64 controllers were fine, not nearly as good as the GameCube controllers though. That's still my favourite!

How has nobody even mentioned the best N64 game yet? (apart from OP (DOH) )



Other personal favourites include Goldeneye 007, World Cup 98, Diddy Kong Racing, Mario Kart 64

I loved Majora's Mask. I hope they do a remake of that on the 3DS but it looks unlikely.

Nonsense.

The SNES was the best console of its generation.

The N64 was a console that was played for one reason - Goldeneye.

PS1 had stolen the show.

I'm still playing Mario Kart pretty much everyday at the moment with my housemates. It was released 16 years ago...

The making of that game was an absurd achievement.

Good old Wario stadium cheat. You skip half the level with one jump.

There was quite a few. On Koopas beach if you don't have the boost to do the tunnel jump you could take a right before and cut through the water. Get's you ahead by a couple seconds.

Rainbow world has another jump but it's fuckin hard. Literally when you start you need a boost to do it you do a suicide boost to the left and you land half way through.

There's one on Kalamari desert where you go through the train tunnel and you skip the level but I've never done it.

I've just done a youtube search and all I can say is wow. There are some good players out there.

I only knew one of those (Koopa Beach). I hardly ever get a mushroom though. Will check out the rest!

Doesn't sound too unlikely IMO

“It’s something I’m asked about often and I assure you that it is something I’ve spoken to Miyamoto about. But recently we released The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D as a remake. We are considering the idea, but it didn’t seem right to launch a remake one after another, so the next Zelda game on 3DS will be original.”
