I kept my N64 in the closet for years and pulled it out for my kids, they were like 10ish at the time? They still have fond memories of goldeneye and tony hawk skating. It was the first video games they played.

Getting an N64 for Christmas is an experience that will never be matched. Love you, Mom and Dad.

*GameBoy's were pretty cool also

**Also how dare me - Love you too Santa

No worries brotha! If you have a copy of Wario World try and keep it as long as possible. Its one of the more rare Game Cube games and highly sought after, finding another one if you wanted to play it again might be tough and around $100.

I have the Zelda collection and the OoT collection for GameCube. I really enjoyed that era of gaming.

This was me but with the PS2. They were so fucking hard to get back in the day they were almost mythical (for a kid at least). Could not believe my Mom managed to get one a couple months in (just in time for Christmas)

Man I bought OOT when it came out from like Babbages and got a free t-shirt with it. I wore the FUCK out of that shirt to the point that it fell apart =/

Super Smash Bros, GoldenEye, and Mario Party were enough to make N64 a GOAT for my childhood.

As a big RPG fan, the N64 sucked - however, it forced me to play other games.

The N64 controller was meant to be held in 2 ways, left on the left, or left on the center - right on the right always.... it wasnt that hard...but the "c stick" was a poor 2nd analog.

But it had some bangers, Zelda, Goldeneye, StarFox, Mario obviously...etc etc...

I always thought this was retarded because I can count on hand the amount of games that made use of both the analog stick and d-pad at the same time, and it looks like a fist.

That and the N64's analog control grip and Z button always felt uniquely satisfying.

yeah, no game used both at the same time. you were supposed to move your hand..
its clearly a, "are you people retarded?"

I've of course also talked about it before. Its revolutionary.
before n64
ps1. two equally sized shoulder buttons. just a SNES controller with 2 instead of 1 shoulder button.
1758554075746.png


after n64
ps2 dual shock, copies the vibration, the joystick, the trigger buttons.
sure we can state it streamlined it with 2 joysticks, and moving them to a single grip position. but this is an evolution, not a revolution in controllers.

The wiimote is one of the worst controllers.
(even though I REALLY like the nunchuck aspect)

Yea i really wish i could hold like the switch 2 pro controller and pull it in 2 and hold each one in a slovenly manner apart from each other. Maybe you can with the tiny switch xontrollers but they are painful to hold

People are not oblivious to the way Nintendo wanted us to use the controller. The criticism doesn't come from ignorance. People are critical of the controller because it's fucking retarded.

The guy he was replying to was saying he was using one hand on the d-pad and the other on the stick, so at least one person didn’t understand the purpose. I agree it looks retarded after the PlayStation released the dual stick in the configuration that they did. At the time though it was genius, I remember being impressed by it and the way things were controller with it in 3d, even though the ergonomics sucked. It was just a shitty first iteration is all.

Lest we forget...

It just didn't use analog sticks, but dual d-pads, it had 2 trigger buttons and was before the N64... Nintendo understood the "3d worlds need 3d directions" - but nintendo HAS to do something wonky each generation anytime after SNES.

For real, what is with Kojima and babies?

Anyways this just looks like more kojimashit, but creepy kojimashit. Sure his fans will glaze it as hard as ever.

Christianity never took root in Japan. They have pagan child sacrifice in their blood.
