"Death bed"

Here I sit beside my Nintendo 64, as it cougths out it's last games, I will get the poor systems final games Tony Hawks 2, Paper Mario, Mario Party 3 and well that's about it.

At the start of this year I felt the N64 was still booming, Conker, Banjo, Excitebike, Star wars: Battle for Naboo and Pokemon stadium 2.

Yet when I heared Indiana Jones had been canned in this country I noticed even THQ who had kept the N64 alive for those extra six months at the start of this year had given up on this lost soul. Nintendo try (and succeed) to take are mind off our dying friend with the GBA but they like everyone know the the N64 is at death's door after producing (shock horror) a bad game in the form of Dr Mario, desperate to make the N64 seem more alive.

So there I sit beside the bed of my favourite console ever, waiting as the impending doom of the system grows ever closer. I think back to the days when I waited for Zelda Majora's Mask to come or Perfect Dark to finally get a release date.

But it was those breath taking games that made me love this system and although it's future is bleak it has set the groundwork for the Gamecube which will live in memory of its older brother. So there I sit not letting go of my contoller and I know that when this console can go on no more I won't be the only one to shed a tear.

It has too big a fan base to die yet just pull them off one by one Nintendo will rise again (ok the GBA is the best selling console but i mean GC here)

DKR was the first N64 game i ever got!

Come to think of me i believe my sick friend is calling me...

"Come play new fixed No Mercy"

Has anybody seen that ps game Monster racing, that looks like a load of crap. If that is the way that the ps continues to go, then it will also be dead in no time at all.

True all to true it is sad to see so many people desert the 64 i'm holding on till the last moment...

Actually the PS2 causes Nintendo price drop so not so bad really, i hope to get smash brothers for a tenner and DKR for a fiver!!!!!!!!!!!!

My local toys'r'us only stock like 5 N64 games.

Timesplitters two i told you all it was allright so they will make a sequal and call it Timesplitters 2 o how right i was!

Yeah and they are usually sequals of games that were crap in the first place.
