Well, actually, the N64 was released in Japan in June of 1996, but that's beside the point...
20 years ago today (actually 4 days ago), the Nintendo 64 was released in North America. From this day on, gaming would never be the same. Sure, there were already 3D arcade machines, but this was the first instance of a 3D home console. The N64 was amazing for its time, and set the bar really high for other gaming companies who would soon follow in its footsteps. I only wish I was alive to see that day... (It had already been out for almost three years when I was born.)
As is evident by my avatar, username, and subtitle, I am a huge fan of the N64. I could easily consider it my favorite Nintendo console. I can't really describe why, but it might be the step up from the SNES' 16-bit graphics, the bright, colorful designs and detailed/cartoon textures, and not to mention that it has like ZERO loading time! I also believe that the N64 produced some of the best games Nintendo has ever made, like Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, OOT, Goldeneye 007, Perfect Dark, Pokemon Snap, and a lot more. Sure, the games may have aged pretty badly, but you gotta give them some credit; they're still awesome!
My mom had an N64 when I was really young (pretty much still a baby), so it was essentially the first game console I have ever played, and probably the best one at that.
At the moment, I am playing SM64, still trying to get that coin star in Tall, Tall Mountain...
What are some of your favorite things about the N64?
*Dargblargit! September 26th... a few days late, but never too late to acknowledge it!! DON'T JUDGE ME! I still love the N64 just as much...

although I can pretty much guarantee that if I were to take it down from the loft and switch it on that it would still work even after all this time. The first console I ever had was the ps1, ended up playing them both equally though for the variety of games. My ps1 is long broken I think, last I remember the load up screen would freeze
