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.

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.

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.

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

It was not a short life (fullstop).
The Super Nintendo's was shorter, and anyway, the Nitnendo64 made Nintendo a larger profit than the Playstation did Sony. Well, Pokemon did have a little to do with that. Also, I think Pokemon will have a huge bounce back when its new games come out on the Cube and GBA.
Bring it.

The games were higher prices, but it was up to you the gamer to buy the correct ones, don't complain if you haven't played, also, its my opinion, which is higher than yours because I am better at gaming than you to say that the Nintendo 64's controller was the best from the last batch of consoles (PS, N64 and DC).
Taking it's throne is the GameCube which is also just been pushed onto

I won't even waste the energy with my fingers to answer this, its complete CRAP. You fool.

Deteriorating GameboyAdvance? When at the moment they are working on a method of creating Playstation quality graphics on it? You fool.

I don't play on my N64 much anymore partly because I have way too much work, but more because I've played every single game to death. Why? Because the N64 rocked. Mine had a long life span and while it may be dead now, for a long time it was very much alive.
One game that really showed the N64's better qualities over other formats was Shadowman. Anyone who played that on more than one format will know that the N64 version was the best. Also, the N64 had Goldeneye, Zelda, Perfect Dark and Blast Corps. All of which ruled.
I will buy a gamecube because Nintendo have consistently turned out great consoles. I agree that the N64's dead now but don't criticise it because for a long time it was king of the consoles.
