That was due to them sticking to cartridges and giving the PS1 a big head start. Even then the N64 seemed rushed to be released, I think it did well considering (double the sales of the Wii U which had a head start). |

Of course, not denying that. N64 was still a great console but I could easily see the shift at the time with lack of games. I recall within the first 12 months of owning one, having very little games to choose from. I had like Goldeneye and Mario Kart. Never bought Mario 64 for whatever reason and played some WCW wrestling game, bit of Banjo Kazooie. I dont think I even bought more than 10 titles on that console. I say 2 years into that gen, I rarely touched N64. Completely switched to PS1 with games like Resident Evil and Gran Turismo. I hesitated on switching to Sony and buying their console because I was always a Nintendo and SEGA guy and did not believe Sony was an option and might have been a fad. Took me a few years to buy one but when I did, N64 was only ever used for 4 player Mario Kart challenges. Edited by Biceps Ben Six Pack Smooth, Jan 16 2017, 04:57 PM.

Don't forget the playstation had a very important exclusive: a controller that wasn't dogshit. |

We did have Mario, Pilotwings and Wave Race at launch, all quality games. Then there was Mario Kart, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo, Goldeneye and the games started to flow. I actually played around a quarter of all games released on the console in our region. |

I had an argument with a friend from work about the 64 controller being ass. I think he's overly nostalgic about that console and fails to see just how poorly designed the controller actually is and thinks it was great. I was starting to think I was wrong, but I knew I could count on you for some sense in this world. |

I couldn't even use it in the intended way and held the control stick with my thumb and index finger while reaching for the Z-trigger with my right hand. |

Yeah I think people have trouble separating the system and its games from the controller. The N64 is the system that got me into gaming proper with Ocarina of Time. It was the first game that I became properly absorbed and immersed in, I was thinking about how to solve the puzzles and progress while I was at school or otherwise not playing it. It was also the first time I had ever thought about the history of the game world I was in. I remember playing with my best friend (who was also similarly obsessed with the game at the time) and as we ran across Hyrule Field at night, the skeletons popped out of the ground and I asked aloud "I wonder why there's skeletons here? There must have been a big battle years ago or something, and they're cursed to attack travelers forever" to which my friend replied something to the effect of "lol who cares". But you know what else I remember about playing zelda? Literally not being able to run forwards because my control sticks were looser than ten thousand year old whores, forcing me to have to z-target run backwards all the time (which funnily enough turned out to actually be faster regardless of your control stick's condition). The N64 controllers were indeed bad, and you were right to think so. End of story. |

The 3-on-1 paddle game in Mario Party was a control stick killer. |

I think it's an oversight that your enlightening article an exploration of poo, and also butts as well did not touch on the n64 controller and how it dwelled inside the butt of a japanese man, only to make it's dramatic, splatting exodus into the outreached hands of children everywhere. |

I always held the left handle and not the middle with my left hand, I stretched my thumb across to use the joystick. Might sounds strange but it worked for me, I used my right middle finger for the Z trigger. |

Derpstorm you have always been my nemesis in Forza Horizon games, I remember when we were trying to out do each other on speedtraps. Was quite surprised to see you have a 0 level in Horizon 3, this is why I rejected you. Had to join NMAN team as well for membership. |

How are you doing against my scores? I think I did the best in the danger signs, the others I did enough to make sure I got 3 stars. The mountain DLC is good as well. |
