So the games at £40 with a console at £129.
And you're happy paying almost a 3rd of the console cost for each game?
Hmmmm.
That's the equivalent of paying £65 per PS2/Xbox game.
Good on Nintendo for dropping the price. Before it's even launched.
That shows confidence in a product.
Hell, the GBA is more than half the price of a Gamecube.
It's odd though, the Xbox drops it's price and red-faced Ninty's start peeing in their nappies about how that means the Xbox is failing, despite decent sales figures at full price.
But when Nintendo announce they're dropping the price, before it's even launched, that suddenly means that Nintendo aren't worried.
No, that means Microsoft are even more scared?
I'm saying neither, just saying be consistent you big simple 'tards.
hur hur

I wouldn't say the N64 was a flop at all. However, Nintendo have got to hand it to Sony. Whilst the N64 had its success then fizzled out, the PS1 continued to sell. Since the release of the PSone update, the PS1 is still being produced and now appeals to consumers on a lower budget.
I save some money, I get a console on which I can play games I like. What's the fuss?
Next topic please.
Next topic please.

That's where personal opinion comes in though. I see four games in that list that would have been of any interest to me personally!

I could have made a list longer than my arm of great N64 games.

Along with the above few i already mentioned, there was also:
Mario Tennis
Mario Golf
Paper Mario
Banjo Kazooie
Banjo Tooie
Donkey Kong 64
ISS 64/98/2000
Mario Kart
Turok 1, 2 etc
Blast Corps
Diddy Kong Racing
Smash Bros
Mario Party 1, 2, 3
Rogue Squadron
Zelda: Majora's Mask
Goemon
Conker
Pilotwings
Shadowman
Excitebike 64
Castlevania 64
Duke Nukem Zero Hour
Jet Force Gemini
Lylat Wars
WWF No Mercy & Wrestlemania
Is that list big enough for you?
All quality games :P
I had loads of PSOne games (aroung 70 or so), and only a handful like MGS, Resident Evil 1, 2, 3, Silent Hill, Final Fantasy 7 & 8 were any good. Though the N64 wasn't as popular as the PSOne, it had undeniably better software available.
Sorry to drag this boring topic up again, but i must defend the name of the N64 against blasphemous fools!

Heh Goatboy does it matter, the PS2 is £60 and you can buy a game for £20 thats 1/3rd... don't get petty. The X-box's sale figures are not so good and to counteract the Nintendo Gamecube they drop the price, and then Nintendo say oi oi not so fast mate... it is just a price war mate no one is running scared just that they are trying to outsell eachother... X-box rules but i prefer the Cube and at £65 cheaper a must buy.

Cheaper. No.
Better. Opinion.
More Games. Quality not quantity.

Oh, shut up Goatboy! You are clogging the forums more than any spamming Newbie!
Oh yes, the XBOX is better because the Games are not such a small fraction of the cost of the console, yay!
XBOX: £200, games £40
GC: £129, games £40
Help! Run! The Gamecube is cheaper! Nooooooooo!
