I made the same mistake. :'(

I voted for the DS, but I would have also voted PS3 (but only the earlier models capable of playing PS2 games goowan).

Unfortunately, I've only experienced very little of the supposed excellence of the SNES. :'(

Eh, I loved the PlayStation. In retrospect, to me it was better than the N64 as a console. It did have a pretty good library as well - especially RPG wise - but at the same time its games may not stand out as much as the very few games on the N64 that did stand out.

I could see that... I think when I had my N64 I bought fewer games so the percentage of high quality games I owned sort of sticks in my memory... like every game I played on it would be fun unlike the playstation which I played some more duds for

Persona 3/4, .hack series (original and GU), god of war series (1/2 anyway), ace combat 4/5 (and non numbered ones that I don't remember).

Granted I got into the PS2 in the second half of its life cycle, but I have more games that I loved for it than the N64. (SF64, Jet Force Gemini, Mario Kart 64, Ocarina of Time) Yes there is Banjo Kazooie/Tooie, but I'm not very good at platformers.

while I still think it was a great console, I have to agree that it "kind of blows" as far as variety of games goes. Nintendo was way too focused on 3D and didn't see the potential of a console that could play even better 2D games.

granted, Sony also had this problem for the most part, but at the same time, look at the continuation of the MMX series, in beautiful 2D. look at Symphony of the Night, goddamn what a gorgeous game. look at Street Fighter 3. you get the picture.

as a result of the 64's over-reliance on one type of game (3D platformers), i feel like the console just didn't reach the potential of the generation. the Banjo games are like Mario 64 is like DK64 is like Conker. there was no Metroid. there were nearly no decent rpgs. there were no shmups.

i really feel like the playstation was the best console that generation, even though i didn't own one at the time. nostalgia or not, the n64 is just too stale in the game variety department.

and many of us love those "shitty attempts", myself included (well, except dk64, that game is kinda boring), but i was basically just talking about the most popular of that over-done genre on the n64

i do realize that there were at least SOME 2d/2.5d games like kirby 64 and yoshi's story, but they weren't really up to snuff with what capcom and other groups were doing on the ps1

and of course, third party support in general is something that the n64 just drew the short straw for

Along with what Kaz said, the rare 3rd party support on the N64 is still apparent today, as even on the Gamecube and now the Wii...it's rare to get a "decent" 3rd Party game.

those right there are already better than most of the n64's library if you ask me

but i have other favorites as well, like the resident evil series, some mega man games, various capcom fighting games...

most of the best games on the system are rpgs of course...or sotn. but i dunno, i just feel that those were better than most n64 games.

but you probably won't agree since you don't like video games.

Wow how did I forget about Wave Race. Which also reminds me of another good N64 game, 1080 Snowboarding. You can unlock a penguin for a snowboard. baddood; Controls were a bit odd, but it was still fun.

Also Excitebike 64's desert mode was fun. Basically having some campfires which were the suggested route and nothing else other than endless dunes to do tricks off of. Then it also had a decent track editor and a 3D version of the original Excitebike.

Also also, Mario Tennis/Golf. The ability to use the GameBoy/N64 controller adapter thingy and import your GBC created character into the N64 games to use was a great customization ability, as well as that online tournament Mario Golf had with Nintendo Power that used a really long character password after the end of a round for scoring purposes.
