What I will never understand is why the Saturn is reviled by most people who played games and the N64 is beloved by the same crowd.
Saturn just isn't that well known, right? I don't think anyone hates it, but I also don't know a single dude my age who's actually played one. Most guys I know are at least aware of N64 and PS1
It also died a really early death in America. It's a 5th gen Turbografx.
Exactly what N64 games withstood the test of time?
Super Mario 64
1080 Snowboarding
Banjo Kazooie
Mario Kart 64
Smash Bros
Tony Hawk (had a better soundtrack on ps1 but still counts right?)
F-Zero X
NFL Blitz
Doom 64
Sin and Punishment
Rayman 2
Hydro Thunder
Ridge Racer 64
Mario Tennis
Turok 3 (has the weapons from 2 but isn't a confusing mess, and has stages like Half Life and even Turok 1!)
Some of these games had better versions or sequels elsewhere, but they all hold up today as fun and solid games, specifically on n64. I use my N64 mostly as a multiplayer machine, but my favorite nintendo games are on it.
Some games I'd say have "aged poorly" are Perfect Dark, Turok 2, Diddy Kong Racing, and Banjo Tooie, whether it's framerate issues or shit design. Some people on here also hate the Zelda games, especially Majora (my personal favorite)
