I've had an N64 for about two years now, and I've been pleased with it's games and accessories, I have most of it's best games eg; GoldenEye, Mario Party 2, Conker's Bad Fur day, Mario Paper...you know the score.
Apart from the success of the N64 the Playstation was obviously better in the sales department, selling more than 15 million each year, but there was one thing that could of saved the N64 in those days, 'an Internet Pak'
Internet compatible sytems are the best of the best money makers with THPS3 coming to the PS2 with online gaming options.
If only Nintendo had thought of it before the would of made a very, very large amount of money and boosted the console's popularity.
Recently me and my friends have been designing plans for new N64 Internet(Expantion)Pak (It would probally never see the light of day)but these are the features:
INTERACTIVE MENU:
As you turn on your N64 with the Net Pak inside, you will be treated to a special menu where you input your special details(eg; name, address...)plus you can enter tournaments, email your friends and exchange data.
MULTI-USE:
The pak can be used as:
-Memory Pak
-Expansion Pak
-Internet Pak
Were also trying to think up games:
TUROK 3:ONLINE
The third instalment of the Turok series would be re-released with new online capabilities, 57 new levels, 101 new characters, create-a-player plus a special menu that informs you about new tournaments and 'Timespitters' type mission mode that sees you complete tasks at different moments in time, to trying to steal a expensive jewel from the Titanic before sinks to saving the Statue of Liberty in the year 2234.
00 HEAVEN:
A James Bond first-person shooter, revolving around the 19 previous super-agent adventures, as James Bond you have to make you way from the beaches of 'Dr No' to the 'Thames Chase' of 'The World is not Enough'and online capabilities allowing you to communicate with other players.
REVOLUTION:
This is a Grand Theft Auto 3 type crime-sim,
the game is set in the year 2012, the President's son: Ralph.M.Ewing(21 years old)runs away from home after a row
with his President father about people's rights, you are then forced to hang around and make friends with pimps and criminals, but when you start off you are still a polite gentleman but when you get used to hanging around thugs you learn stuff like slang language and shop-lifting, the online capabilities are limited but like 00 Heaven you can speak to other users.
LAWS OF GRAVITY:
An extreme BMX sim, Laws Of Gravity the first BMX title for the N64, you can choose from 15 pro's and play an online arena were you can ride freely with other users.
WRC 2002:
A Gran Turismo type racing game, choose from over 300 cars(150 cars and another 150 cars with an expansion pak) 28 tracks and a racing arena for non-stop online racing thrills.
I hope that game developers take intrest in me and my friends' ideas.
See Ya Later.

I don't think it was a case of Nintendo not thinking of it, but they didn't want to release anything until it was right. Now PS2 and Xbox are both dying to get into the online race, but Nintendo are waiting. If you put online games on and have bad servers etc. (as happened with the Dreamcast) the internet on that console may never recover. It's likely to be one of the most hyped features of any console in the future, so if it fails to impress people the world over are gonna be returning consoles...
It needs time to get it right, and who better than Nintendo to add that little extra polish?

Bollards :(
Its a shame that many great idea's don't even leave Japan. I would have bought the n64 internet pack if they tweaked it a bit and made it with english text :)
PD online
*Dribbles*
Oh yea!
That could of won n64 the console war, I mean the Playstation hasen't got Internet capabilities and the PS2 hasen't got them yet. So maybe if they did release it Nintendo would of had a lot more money...

Online capabilities on a console ay?
Did you know that the NES had online capabilities? YES it did. Only in Japan mind, and if memory serves me correctly about the only things you could do on it was play some horse racing games, or do your online banking.

There was an internet pak for the N64, but it never left Japan! It let you play multi player against your friends over the fone line, to do it you had to tell your friend to log on at the same time and enter a code. This is partly what the 64DD was for, but that never left Japan either!
