How long do people think the N64 has left to live?
With games like Perfect Dark, Zelda: The Continuing Sage, Turok 3, A Resident Evil game, Top Gear Rally 2, and a bunch of other wicked games this year. How long will the N64 live for? Specially with the PS2 and Dolphin on the horizon how much longer can the N64 last?

but then on reflection, i have no reason to be gutted at all.. because i have no doubt that i have got my money's worth from these games. which shows just what bargains these beauties really are now.
anyone who says that now is the time to be an n64 owner could not be more right. with such great games for a tenner or less, we can all curb our impatience for perfect dark for the price of a curry and a couple of pints. buy wipeout now! and if you haven't got an n64 then buy one of them to go with it. because perfect dark is out in 1 month from now.
jump onto the n64 bandwagon and enjoy endless multiplayer laughs. you know it makes sense.
I have the V rally 99 edition and it is the worst one in te series they have produced,the graphics and sound are great but the steering are really pretty bad, this is the only thing that is stopping this game from being a chart buster.
There are a wide range of cars, all with diffrent ttubrutes to suit diffrent users, also the options are very good and well laid out, the game is well organised and well throught through.It take time to get used to the handeling on this game but for 20 pounds it is a bit of a bargain.
I much prrefer the handeling on starwars racer, but starwars racer is to be honest not 20 pounds, if you are looking for a cheap realisic game cose this game it may have it downers but it can be a great game if you get into it.
To get up the cheat menu follow these instructions.
At the "Press Start" screen, press L+R, C-Left, C-Right, L+R, Start. At the next screen, hold Z and rapidly tap L until the cheat mode appears.

So it time to put N64 aside and bring on the Dolphin.

I think that the above statement is a complete farce. Occasionally the n64 does have a classic (goldeneye) but it only is supported by those games. The graphics are always underachieving in most games and they are well overpriced. The n64 doesn't have a good 3rd person game like the Playstation and it certainly can't do sport games to save its doomed Nintendo butt. You would be hard pressed to find 100 games for the n64 that someone would want to play as there are only 101 games out. Nintendo definitely mucked up with the n64, not enough games, heavily reliant on rareware to deliver the quality and now dependant on pokemon for the british market. I also think that Project Dolphin is the largest lie ever from Nintendo, just a feeble attempt to stop people jumping on the ps2 bandwagon. Sorry Nintendo, Shigsy has to produce a miracle of godlike proportions to keep the sinking ship afloat.
Sony have made stereo equipment for ages now...for about the same time, but are not the best in their league, so they decided to expand, for the best it seems, but they bought the results of surveys off other companies so they new what was needed for success very clever, but will sony be able to keep the pace, will they survive as long as the popular Nintendo?
Nintendo, about 18 years!
Sony, about 4 years!
Wil their ps2 be as successful? or will they stumble and fade away into the darkness?
lots of money has been spent in advertising, and I read someones comment on this site, and it appears that they are falling in profits by about 40% and are loosing incredible amounts of money!
so do they have what it takes to go all the way?
I would like to know what other diehard nintendo fans think, preferably no playstation fans as they would just be argumentitive, and loose the point, just to stick up for their respect.
