I am thinking about selling all my N64 stuff on ebay, and moving to the dark side, the PS2.
I will tell you why.
The N64 is dead, it has some classics that I still play like both Zelda’s Goldeneye (I bought my N64 after playing this game) Perfect Dark and many others.
There are still a few games that I don’t own that are classics but I have either played them and sold them on or something along those lines. I haven’t touched my N64 in weeks. This is when, I know. I know its time to move on.
All my mates have either Playstations or PS2’s so I am basically a loner. I don’t have any mates that will swap games, and when they come round I say “Bring your Playstation” Because I can adapt very quickly. Like, my mate has GT1. He has been playing for years and he said he was amazing. After a few laps on a track I have never played before I was like winning. Its not that he is rubbish, its just that I can adapt very well. Especially racing games.
So, if I got a PS2, I could swap games, and we could all sing along happily and dance :o)
The Playstation 2 has a load of good games. GTA3, GT3, Pro Evo etc etc I could go on but I won’t.
I need to play something different. Yes, I have a variety of games on my N64, FPS TPS racing games, sport, and hell I even have Yoshi. But I need something else, I need MGS2, I need GTA3. I need absolute classic games. Yes, Perfect Dark is a classic but I can’t play it forever.
The price. A PS2 with a few games is about £240 and the N64 stuff is rapidly losing its value. I need to sell it basically now, or I will get buttons for it. My N64 with 2 controls and Goldeneye set me back Just under £200. Now, I couldn’t sell my 14 Games 3 Controllers and My Rumble/Memory card for much more than £150.
If I wait. I will not get much back.
Everyone is talking about how great they are (PS2’s) and what good games are coming up for it and all sorts. I never actually played Metal Gear Solid but it looks mighty fine.
The GameCube. Its looks, to be honest, very good. But. Nintendo have a kiddy image right? But all Nintendo fans know that the games are far from kiddy. When I first saw Zelda, it looked amazing. Showing off some real power. But now? It looks all kiddy and crap. It doesn’t have any extra features like the Ps2 does. Well, it has a modem, and a DVD player. BUT only if you pay extra. With the PS2 it all comes as standard.
I never enter FAD because I know that if I win it will just be collecting dust, but if I got a DVD player. Whoa! Basically the PS2 is a big multimedia machine. With a DVD player, a Cd player. And it even plays old PS1 games. How good can you get? Very.
N64 games are hard to find, the shops ditch them. I can no longer go into a shop and look at the N64 shelf. Because, its just not there. The PS2 has a wide range of games, and plenty of them. With all those PS1 games aswell, I cannot get bored.
They are also cheaper. Well, sorta. But, with GAD I don’t ever have to buy another game, EVER! I am running out of options to choose for my win. I chose Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 and if I win again, what do I choose? There is only one game that interests me, Mario Tennis. Then, that’s it. I don’t have any more games to choose.
If I had a PS2 on the other hand.. I would have to win about 40 times for all my games that interest me.
So people. I am making my confession. I am going to the Dark Side. The Sony Side.
I still have to sell my N64 and buy a PS2 mind you. Which, knowing me, will not be till after Christmas. Or like in April or some rubbish long time away.
I will probably sell my PS2 and buy a GameCube when it comes out :o)
But for now Its time to move on.

> crap. Lets just hope that Gc lives up to expectations.
Good good.
I'm gonna sell all my N64 stuff when the GC comes out, I've already got enough money for a GC and I've got 6 games coming rom SR, so with my cash from my N64 I'm gonna buy me a SNES with Street Fighter, Super Mario World, Super Mario Kart and Star Fox
All movings on are now cancelled!
No more movings on please.
We are all destined to be big kids and play class games for ever, i'm sorry :-)
We could argue this point all day, were not going to but we could, anyway you will most likely regret it people always do regret selling their old consoles. Look at how many people have gone out and bought the Snes again.
We can still sing along happily and dance though if you want, maybe chant while circling our Nintendo machines.
errrr
:-)
I think I may have to resist. Or maybe sell N64. Buy PS2. Sell PS2 then buy GameCube....
Damn Dirty Hard Life.. :o)
Dont go to the darkside just becasue of Nintendo's "kiddy" image. That would be very shallow. As is your impressions of Zelda.
Anyway, as i was saying...i have been on the darkside since July, but i'm still getting a Gamecube...PS2 aint all that.
then again you might but it's just something to think about. anyway i'm happy with my n64, but if you are considering selling it then could you tell me what games you've got as I may buy some of you if you wan't! :)
