Here a question.

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?

I'll be getting Banjo Tooie, Dinosaur Planet, Sin and Punishment, Conkers BFD, and The World is Not Enough. There are many others coming out that I won't be getting. But I'll be by the N64's side all the way, and I will shut its eyelids, when I am finished with it. There is much life left, and I hope to spend the life fully.

all n64 owners are clinging on to their beloved console for the release of the last 3 major games for the n64, Mario Party 2, Mario Tennis 2 and majora's mask. Once these games are out, I can only see the extinction of the n64. i can't believe that nintendo are realeasing a pikachu n64 for christmas. how many do they believe will be sold when after christmas, the n64 is going to fade away (if it hasn't already). if only you could play your n64 games on the gamecube when it comes out. the main reason for sony's continuing domination is the fact that the PSX games will still be able to used. if nintendo had announced plans for backwards compatibilty, they should have done it a lot earlier, but instead their n64 is on the verge of obscurity

the graystation poo is much faster than gamecube? that is the biggest load of cr@p i have ever heard! for starters it has a processer that has to handle everything, graphics, textures, framerate etc can you imagine all the slowdown?. and wow it can play dvds. who cares? why would you want to by a games console to play movies! the gamecube will be so much better and faster than ps2. the game cube has its own graphics card which handles, funnily enough, graphics and textures leaving the processer to handle the framerate which will have, if any, no slow down at all.

sonyz saying there console can do up to 16 million polygons a second. but developers cant even go up to 5 mill because off the difficultys the machine brings for developers. the game cube however is very easy to develop for thats why the first gen games of the gamecube looks twice as good as the second generations psx2 games
[even mgs 2 looks crappy next to zelda] i think the roles are turned around now. cube will rule and psx 2 will be a weak second because of there dificult system
nintendo will also have alot of exlusive software wich i dont think we will see on the psx 2

nintendo will rule the world again

I've added a little bit.
Nintendo have raked in millions with Pokomon games of all sorts: red, blue, and yellow version on the gameboy, and Pokomon stadium and snap on the N64. What is stopping them? If they've got anymore ideas (I don't know how long Pokomon can last out for anymore) they will keep bringing out games until the Gamecube comes out about Christmas next year. And I say "Good on them". All these little kids are fascinated by Pokomon, and I know quite a few 8 years olds, with N64's, whose parents will happily go out and spend 40, 50 quid on them to keep them satisfied and quite. When the Gamecube comes out though Nintendo will make Pokomon games for that as well. Children of 7 to 10 these days are young and impressionable, and they will lay their hands on the first thing that comes to them. If its on trading cards, on the TV, and on computer consoles, kids will be happy. And, as kids are kids, they'll go out and buy it. They’re already selling consoles with Pikachu on them; next, they’ll go back to game boy and put a Pikachu on the front of that too. Yes they’re raking the money, and yes, even though I think that Pokomon is getting a touch on the annoying side now, I can see Pokomon failing just before the release of the Gamecube next year.
But, Nintendo didn’t start off with Pokomon did it? NO. They started off with games like Mario, and Zelda, and stuff like that. And Nintendo will end like that too (not saying that they will fail). Nintendo don’t NEED Pokomon, they don’t NEED the consoles with Pikachu on them, or all the Pokomon games on the gameboy and the N64. Pokomon is just a very good money-grabbing fad that Nintendo have pulled off nicely. But we can’t condemn Nintendo now, because it’s all this money from Pokomon that is getting us the Gamecube.
So, in a way, they won’t fail without Pokomon, but we won’t get the Gamecube without Pokomon. If Nintendo don’t get the Gamecube, they’re buggered. The Gamecube is being waited for by loads of young gamers.
N64 won’t fail without Pokomon.
The Gamecube will,
Therefore Nintendo will. Or maybe not…………
