The Nintendo 64 (N64) was released in 1996 and cemented 3D console gaming as a rival to 3D PC gaming with titles such as Ocarina of Time, GoldenEye and StarFox 64.
32.93 million N64s were sold between 1996 and 2002. Nintendo succeed it with the Nintendo GameCube. The main competitor for the Nintendo 64 was the Sony PlayStation.
Never Ending Realm ranked the Nintendo 64 #4 on its list of all-time greatest consoles.
Last week, we looked at the best five games on the Nintendo 64 (according to critics). Many fan favorite games did not make the cut, so we are going over the next five to see if some of these classics made the list. Once again, I will be providing my own take underneath each ranking,…
For the previous 5 entries rounding out the Top Ten games for the Nintendo 64 click here. The Nintendo 64…the first true bastion of 3-D gaming on home consoles. Three dimensional visuals came easy to it thanks to its formidable horsepower (for 1996 hardware). Thanks to Shigeru Minamoto’s genius, the Nintendo 64 had games that defined…
The Nintendo 64 was plagued by the lack of quantity of AAA game releases (as 3rd parties flocked to Sony’s greener pastures in the mid 1990s). However, the few big titles that did grace the system were some of the most revolutionary, and amazing games ever made. One such game was Rare’s Golden Eye. Rare…
Nintendo 64 At first glance, the Nintendo 64’s inclusion into our “What Went Wrong” series seems a bit odd. The Nintendo 64 finished in the second place of the 5th generation of consoles (sales wise), had incredible first (and second party) software sales numbers, and some of the greatest games ever made as part of…
Of all the Super Mario 64 clones, Banjo-Kazooie, is in my opinion the best (at least during the 32-64 bit era). Rare’s first attempt at a 3-D platformer even managed to surpass Mario 64 in a few areas. A Beautiful World One area in which Rare’s game is clearly superior to Nintendo’s revolutionary game is…
1996 was a magical time for an 11-year-old kid to be alive. Video Games were making the transition to 3-D from 2-D for the first time with the arrival of the 32-bit machines. The possibilities to a young mind – arriving at the peak of human imagination – seemed endless. That said, to me personally,…
A few days ago, the world got play a 2007 Golden Eye HD Remake/Remaster, via a leak. The game never saw the light of day as an official release due to legal complications concerning the game’s rights. The leak has brought back a lot of interest in the details of why the game project…
The late 90s were the most magical years that I experienced as a gamer. The 3-D era was fresh and exciting. The Nintendo 64 kept churning out ground breaking games, and it seemed that every Nintendo and Rare game of the era broke and set some new standard in gaming. The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s…
Nintendo is notoriously difficult to deal with if you are intent on making anything related to its internal properties, even you are not seeking any type of profit from said work. The Legend of Zelda is Nintendo’s golden franchise, and it is one that is rich in lore, and ambiguity. The fact that Link is…
The Nintendo 64 was the first home console capable of delivering great First Person Shooting experiences. While the PlayStation (and Sega Saturn) would have some first person shooters, by comparison, most (if not all) were subpar when stacked against the games that the Nintendo 64 was running in that particular genre. The Nintendo 64…
