Last year there was another thread called the original Xbox Appreciation thread. And it was a positive thread, for positive things about the original Xbox, I hope we can do something similar to that for the Nintendo 64. I'll get straight to what most people dislike about this console. first the fact that most of the game that came out for it were sports games, lack of RPG's and so on But what re some positives about the system? A lot of people dislike the shape of the original Nintendo 64's controller, and I can agree with them. but now there is other controllers (you can purchase) for the Nintendo 64 for a more comfortable gaming experience. for most of it's gaming releases. (For example) I use the Retro Fighters Brawler64 Controller for them, Original Controller photo RETRO FIGHERS BRAWELER 64 CONTOLLER and most games on the Nintendo 64 can be played with the comfort of a more modern video game controller. But most First and third Person Shooter Games are more difficult to ply with this newer controller. (for example) for me, games like Duke Nukem 64 I have an extremely hard time aiming my gun due to how sensitive the analog stick is in that game. if I move the joystick to the right or left the turning speed is way too high for my to accurately aim and I constantly overturn and can't aim straight without difficulty. same with the game called "Army Men Sarges Hero's" Yet all sports and racing games will play just fine with this controller no problem. Then there is the Hori pad but it feels cheap to me and I prefer the brawler one better today. |

The Nintendo 64 is still one of my favorite consoles, even though it has a lot of stuff going against it, but it has some of my favorite games of all time on it...Super Mario 64, Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Banjo-Kazooie, Banjo-Tooie, Diddy Kong Racing, and a few others while just having really good games in general on it such as Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Starfox 64, Pokemon Snap, Smash Bros, Star Wars: Rogue Squadron, and other real good games. I still own my N64, it's one of the Arctic Blue ones, though I don't seem to have the controller for it anymore, not sure what happened to it. |

For games like "WrestleMania 2000" "WCW vs NWO World Tour" "WWF No Mercy" "WCW/nWo Revenge" I could imagine it would be vary uncomfortable on those games with the 2 controllers I posted above But I don't know how the Retro Fighters Brawler controller would react to 3D platformers yet. But hopefully it will work fine in those games as well without over turning on the analog joystick |

The N64 has a small library for my taste personally, but I still really like it. Lots of quality titles and some of my favorite games series are represented on it; Custom Robo, Paper Mario, Star Fox, Harvest Moon, ETC. Not to mention the great titles Treasure dropped on it. As for controllers, I really detest the original pad. I really like the Hori pad, pretty much what I use exclusively to play N64 these days. Never tried the brawler, or any others. I know the brawler has those wireless pads, waiting to hear the consensus on those as a wireless N64 pad would be nice. |

Look at them! LOOK AT THEM! They are so beautiful and I want to own them all. I need them! It's funny, I don't have a huge interest in big game collections, there's definitely a bunch of games I would have in a collection, but I hope to someday have a mostly complete N64 collection and all of these colored systems to go with my blue one. |
