N64 Nintendo 64

Kingdom Hearts, also seeing they bother allowing you to tilt the control stick to do different slashes I would think they put emphasis on combat.
I played that game on a friend's house once, I started a new save but I spent all my time there trying to win the sparring fight against Sora's friend. After many tries I managed to win and it was satisfying. Maybe I should play the rest of the game someday.

Definitely. Only one I didn't like was Birth by Sleep. Many suggest skipping Chain of Memories, but I don't. The GBA version was the first Kingdom Hearts game I got to play and I loved it. I'm kind of a card game autist thoughever.
 
The N64 was my first full game console I ever had. I got it for Christmas in 96. It's kind of surreal to look back on it and see how it was less successful than the Playstation. Nintendo really cornered the kids demographic at the time I guess. Most of the kids I knew in my school had an N64, and I didn't know the PS1 was a thing until after FF7 came out. Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Smash Bros, and Goldeneye were what everyone knew. Multiplayer Bomberman 64 and Chameleon Twist were also games I played a lot.

One of the most memorable games for me was Mischief Makers. My dad brought home a copy of it from the pawn shop randomly one day (he ran it and would bring home games people sold there sometimes). I had absolutely no idea what it was, but it blew my mind once I got into it. The aesthetics and voice acting were my favorite parts at the time. The transforming robots and some of other boss fights were insanely cool to me. A lot of it it pretty cheesy looking back on it, but kids love shit like that. "To punish evil forces, I have returned!" is burned into my brain.
 
My grandma and I used to play Zelda a lot together on the NES and SNES, and when she found out about the N64 and a new (at the time) Zelda game coming out, we went to get the console and game from the store and played Ocarina of Time for hours that night. When I would visit her, she would always take me to rent a game from Blockbuster too, so that's where I discovered other games and series I really liked, such as Pokemon Stadium, Paper Mario and Bomberman. Those were some of the funnest times of gaming for me, being able to enjoy games and bond with family.

I should probably give the N64 some love, it was one of my first consoles and I dedicated a large portion of my childhood to it. It's probably one of my more neglected consoles as of recent. It's always been such an interesting little console that deserves more of my time. I think I should give Sin and Punishment and the Castlevania games on it a try
 
When the resolution is upscaled there's no big issues with the low poly but I think the CRT screen made the graphics more bearable back then.


On the other hand while I like the charm of the blurry/muddy textures I wish there were options to have "raw pixels". Perfect Dark 64 on PC with the option made it feel like an end of life PSX game.
 
The Nintendo 64 is a cool console and I want to talk about it after sort of rediscovering my interest in it lately.

For many of us, it was among the first times we saw real-time 3D graphics, which has undoubtedly left a lasting impression on many a gamer, and the muddy graphics and warm sounds now evoke memories of a simpler time for many of us. And while it's a system with a comparatively small library of games, and lots of them were deemed more "family friendly" than libraries of its competitors, there are lots of iconic and timeless classics to be enjoyed and to have grown up with. It had a strange, alien controller that, if anything, is definitely iconic nowadays, and a neat relic of how 3D games were still a new and weird concept.

Whether you've been playing since 1996, or you just recently discovered it through the magic of (still pretty janky) emulation—what are your favorite memories of the N64?

Being in the hospital after getting my tonsils out as a kid and getting to play the N64 they had set-up in the children's ward. I don't remember what games they had there, but I made sure we rented WWF No Mercy at the time.

SNES is the first system I played on an emulator, but most everyone I knew in high school had an N64 emulator on their laptops. I remember one person in particular playing Donkey Kong 64 in the computer lab.
