1. GTA: Vice City - 6.47m
2. Super Mario 64 - 5.94m
3. GTA 3 - 5.51m
4. GTA: San Andreas - 5.14m
5. Pokemon Yellow - 5.10m
6. Pokemon Blue - 5.02m
7. Goldeneye - 5.01m
8. Pokemon Red - 4.83m
9. Mario Kart 64 - 4.80m

That's three GTA games, three Pokemon games, two Mario games, and another game published by Nintendo. It's also three for the PS2, three for the N64, and three for the Gameboy. Not too bad for Ninty really.

My source for this information is teletext so I have no idea how accurate or old this stuff is.

Pokémon Yellow is a Game Boy designed game, but does have Game Boy Color compatability in that it looks nicer than the other two games on the Color.

After all, if it followed the trend and was all yellow and white, it would be hard to see...

Pokemon Red, Blue and Yellow were released long after the N64 in this country, therefore it fits into this generation gap.

For me, Vice City is the worst of the 3 new GTAs. It shouldn't be the best selling game of all time, it's certainly not the best.

I honestly don't know why, but I hated Vice city on the Ps2 when i had it. I still do have it, but don't play it anymore because the Ps2 now belongs to my brother and thank god it's not mine anymore - I hated it. But now I have VC on the PC and it's damn good!

He's also just got GTA SA on PS2 (not PC) and the PS2 fails to run it properly.

I was wondering about that too. Just go to Channel 4, teletext page 376, then page 2 of 5.

GTA was multiplatform mind...

Still pretty good going though.

*Is surprised*

Mind you, GTA probably had a bit more competition. If you had a N64 you virtually much bought Mario and Goldeneye by default.


Still, good times for Ninty.
