Nintendo for Nintendo, 64 for the bits. “It had more bits than the PS1, therefore betterer” – Lance Barr, probably. The N64 was Nintendo’s first two-feet-in foray into a fully 3D capable machine, and quickly became the go-to for parents to buy for their children to distract them from their impending divorce with hits like Super Mario 64, The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time, Donkey Kong 64, and South Park 64. My parents are still together, so I never had an N64 growing up, but I was always captivated by the uniqueness of it’s the design: the old aspect of using cartridges while playing fully 3D games, the gargantuan amount of money needed to buy games and accessories, and most iconic of all: The N64 Controller.
