We gather here today, to celebrate the short-life of the unpopular gaming console the N64. Seemingly trampled all over by new consoles such as sony and microsofts, the nintendo was pushed into the gutter to live a life with ludicrously over priced games and daft controlers to share it's cardboard box with.
Taking it's throne is the GameCube which is also just been pushed onto the kerb by rapidly advancing consoles, not having enough time to compete with blocky graphics and poor titles.
So let us pray, to our heaven above that Nintendo shall never hold a frightening reign over the gaming world and focus on the smaller things in life such as the ever-loved but deteriorating gameboy advance.
Ahmen.

I'm not saying it had a short life by Nintendo's expectations, but when compared to the market leader (Sony)they fell short.
But of course, Nintendo say they arnt competing with the playstation.
End of the day yes, Nintendo made more money. But the Sony customers got the better deal.

I question the 'better deal'. I had both, I preferred the N64. Mainly because of its four player gaming. :)

Heh, I'm a N64 owner speaking myself, got it the year it came out. Didnt get a playstation until 2000.
N64 gave me more than enough enjoyment, but its sad to see that loyal Ninty's have such a huge gap between the "death" of the N64 and the Gamecube launch.
The Playstations oweners had it allright as they didnt have any gap between moving on from the PSX to the PS2.
I'm just wondering how many loyal Ninties sodded off to Sony in this period. I bought a PS2 in this period, but am still getting a Gamecube. But have all Ninty's got the willpower to stick with Nintendo?
The GBA did provide somthin to keep the ninties happy, but can it really keep you happy as a primary console? I dunno. Just see how the next year goes.

Listen here, babies, why would nintendo paint the daft new box a stupid purple-cause they want attention to be drawn to it. Obviously not for it's weedy hardware. Look at the daft rumble packs on the n64, you had to buy them whereas on the psone you had it built in to the controller.
Hmmm, me thinks er-no is stuck in the past.
Why don't you go play your snes or mega-drive but not for too long now-Don't want you staying up past bed time do we.

No. I wouldn't want to stay up past bed time. You fool. And anyway, surely there is nothing wrong with going back and playing the best games ever on the consoles that made the potential of gaming we have layed infront of us.
The PS's rumbles came a year after the N64's. Thats why you had them built in, and most people had to buy this 'shock' controller seperately.

Of course they do! Why did Sony release 6 special edition colours of the Playstation 2? To get people to waste more money than they need to to get a diferent colour casing for their PS2s! Anyway, you can also buy the Black GameCube on launch if you don't like the purple one!
Obviously not for it's
> weedy hardware.
Weedy hardware? As I've already said, the GameCube has been named the best console out of the three for gaming! The other two only have better specs to be able to play DVD's as well. The GameCube may not have the highest specs, but it's got decent hardware nonetheless.!

I will tell you this now to save you any more embarrassment as a fellow gamer. SHUT UP! YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT! The Dremacast you had to buy seperate Rumble Packs, so what if you did on the N64? At least you didn't have to buy memory cards to save on all games! Most you could save on the cartridge itself! I know that all the new consoles have memory cards, well the X-box also has a hard drive.

I think you'll find he's looking towards the future. You appear to be stuck in a time-zone. The time-zone where everyone speaks out their high and mighty backsides spouting rubbish, polluting the boards. Get your facts straight before complaining about a console you've not seen, played or even read about!!!
Why don't you go play your snes or mega-drive
You saying there's something wrong with the SNES or Megadrive?
but
> not for too long now-Don't want you staying up past bed time do we.
Grow up!
ha ha ha - HAHAHA yourself!

They fall for it every time...
Come one guys, you should know by now that these silly little cretins WANT rage filled replies.
That's the fun they get out of being retarted little twerps.
It's more fitting to take the mick:

Yep, because people are using their Gamecube to play great games 27/7, it doesn't have the time to compete with your blocky graphics, we pushed it onto the kerb so that only your piece of crap would get fittingly flatterned by the steam roller.
So there! :-P
