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.

Nope sales, PS2 sells more N64 goes down, GBA sells more N64 dissapear! Woolworths are keeping them alive though good on them!
yeah its pritty annoying, but i suppose its becasue the N64 only has like one game coming out a month whereas the Ps has like 10 out a week!( well at its peak anyway)
GAME and EB are getting rid of N64 to make space for GBA they are doing a clearence sale... Damn them.
Choices have already done it not even rental now!

It would be really cool to have a virtual boy, although it did induce fits in the japanese kids.
The legend of Zelda and The Legend of Zelda: Links awakening! Gold editions. I traesure them!

i suppose thats becasue that arnt many virtual boys in circulation. there are loads of N64's though.
Blimmin hec I wonder what my two Zelda gold titles from the NES boxed with instructions will fetch?
I saw a virtual boy on an online auction. It was ar £81 when i last looked.
i'm trying to make a collection of all the top N64 games. Still quite a few in need to add actually. its just hard trying to find them with limited availabiliyy in shops.
