N64 or SNES?

The last time I tried to play Goldeneye I was actually stunned by how horribly it held up. I had a friggin' blast playing it 4 player for hours and hours when it was new, but I couldn't even stomach 5 minutes the last time I tried. In comparison, many SNES games still see as much or more time than my 360.

I agree for the most part.

At least once a year, however, I hook up my N64 and spend a day or two playing through Mario 64 getting 120 stars.

Another detraction from the N64 that I don't think anyone has mentioned: the control stick had no lasting power. I went through a ton of controllers because the control stick became too loose. I even changed my control style on Goldeneye so that I could play it without relying too heavily on the control stick.

Fuck grinding EVO points for 10 minutes so that I can get a longer neck and then finding out that 2 spots over their are paying out twice as many points for half the work. Then I'm all badass, top of the phone chain getting intsa-gibbed by this giant fucking bee. FUCK YOU BEE DO YOU SEE MY GODDAMN HORNS?

LOL.

I love, love, love that game. I have replayed it a bazillion times by now. And yeah, the boss bee sucks. But he's far from the hardest boss in the game. To this day, I can always get very close to beating, but cannot beat, the last boss in the game. He sucks.

I loved N64. SNES would have probably been better though if I ever owned one.

Perfect Dark, Mario Cart, Zelda (both), Golden Eye, Turok, F-Zero (which was >>>> SNES version imo), Super Mario 64, Super Smash Bros, Paper Mario, and Star Fox 64 were all pretty awesome games.

Not to mention 4 people could play together. That was the shit.

I voted N64. Perfect Dark and Mario Kart ftw.

Pretty much the same 3-5 games being used as support for N64.

That means 25% of their games were great hits I guess.

For me the system just had a lack of (quality) games, and then was pretty weak overall.

Anyone who says the N64 only has 1-5 good games is either ignorant as fuck or just has shitty taste.

The system had plenty of great titles.

Bomberman
Super Mario 64
Paper Mario
Pilotwings
Goldeneye
Banjo-Kazooie
Banjo-Tooie
Diddy Kong Racing
MK64
Those wrestling games
Perfect Dark
Donkey Kong 64 (though I think this is one of the worst games ever created)
Zelda OOT
Zelda MM
Mario Tennis
Blast Corps
Star Fox
Turok
POKEMON SNAP
SUPER SMASH BROS
Mario Parties
Yoshi's Story (sucked, I included because I enjoyed the completionist aspect of it + clouded memories of Yoshi's Island)
Mystical Ninja

N64 had Goldeneye. /end discussion

The majority of your list is shitty games though Risky =/

I count 5 good ones, and thinking otherwise means you have bad taste in games or are ignorant as fuck.

I could accidentally list more than 5 good SNES games before the synapses in my mind register it happened.

I was harsh in my words, I meant discerning taste. Truth be told, a lot of hate for systems comes from ignorance of actual titles on the system. See: PSP, Wii, GC

I'm sorry you can't enjoy that list of titles. =(

No Mercy is still considered the best wrestling game ever created. The Super Fire series comes pretty damn close though.

Lets hope that new TNA game coming out isn't a button mashing shitfest that the Smackdown/RAW games have been.

They hired a couple of the TNA wrestlers that also happen to be gamers for feedback. Samoa Joe and AJ Styles I think. I know that whoever they are, they were huge fans of No Mercy so that can only lead to awesome things.
