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?
Cooky
The Nintendo will always be played in my house and i will continue to buy games for it from second hand shops and friends the playstation two will be nothing special many people will try and buy a CD player and acidently walk out with it and what a creative name the Playstaion 2 where id that come from and sony Why Sony they should stick to what they are good at ...... Nothing
I think the N64 has better Quality Games but many are aimed at younger gamers which is just not fair on the older generation.
The playstaion however lacks the "fun" and cartoon style games that the N64 has i dont see why it is so popular it even looks bad its square, grey and takes CD's which can be broken or sratched easyly.
Thrusting a cartridge into the slot of the N64 is very pleasing.
The Playstaion is way to serious and lifelike and should lighten up

Goldeneye is By far and away the best game on the N64 (bar Zelda-Quality) I have done every thing that there is to do on Goldeneye every cheat all the difficulty modes and yet i still find i play it more than anyother game in my selection.
Perfect Dark looks great however i am not sure if it will beat Goldeneye as it is set in the future the one thing great about goldeneye was it was in the present with realistic guns.
the other thing is that it is not Bond i dont mind this but there was something sbout been a world famous agent that added thrill to the levels. I have heared that there will also be co-operative missions that can be compleeted with a friend (al a Rainbow 6)
This is a major step forward it is however a shame that there will no longer be a feature of taking pictures with the GB camera and using them in the game.
all the same PD look ace so does The World Is Not Enough i will be buying both games when they are available most likely from Special Reserve.

I Have to agree the Playstation although it is alright it cant hold a candle to Nintendo64 or the Dolphin not once have i found a game on the Playstaion that can rival its N64 alternative e.g Crash-team racing VS Mario Kart
And with Perfect Dark soon to arive at our shores N64 is getting better while play station just look even greyer.
What i find strange is that all of my friends have a playstation and think the N64 has better grafics but bad games, WHAT!
