The rules are simple: The best of N64 vs the best of PS1. Each battle will have one victor, the winner survives and fights again until they are eliminated. Should be a good match up. Vote for whichever game you like best.

New Rule: If a combatant wins 5 rounds, it will take a 5 round rest.

Misfit Opinion: Super Mario 64 is one of my all time favorite platformers. Great game

N64
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Super Mario 64

It's the worst Nintendo home console vs. a top 3 all time console. Frankly, it should be an even bigger blow out, and that overrated mediocrity of a game, OoT, is probably going to take out like 8 games before finally dying.

Shocked FF8 is doing so well, though. It's giving Suikoden 2 a serious challenge for contest MVP.

The N64 ran more smoothly than the ps1, it just never got the support. Plus, if you're talking unsuccessful Nintendo home consoles, the WiiU is always going to win that fight. The GC, which was a good console, was also never as popular as the N64.

Even if you care about JPRGs, the console itself was shit, it just had a huge library.

I remember reading somewhere that out of a bunch of the console(N64 - Wii, I think) that the Wii was the only one that was successful. Like I guess to Nintendos standards.

I've always considered N64 the worst Nintendo console. I really liked Gamecube, and it's a shame it's looked at as a failure. On this site at least, N64 seems to be oddly beloved by the majority, which I don't understand.

Then again RPGs are my favorite genre.

Wii U was great, Nintendo just abandoned it really quickly / ported out many of its exclusives. Bayonetta 2, Breath of the Wild, Hyrule Warriors, Xenoblade X, Smash Bros, Guacamelee, Shantae & The Pirate's Curse...I got plenty of enjoyable gaming out of my Wii U, if it didn't have (effectively) only a 3 year lifespan, it really could've been an amazing library

The N64 greatly outsold the GC, but the GC was stupidly late to market and wasn't on market for that long. The N64 itself did pretty damn good, although the SNES outsold it and the NES outsold the SNES. The Wii was the first Nintendo home console to outsell the NES, which... idk.

Pretty sure that few people would seriously argue that the N64 wasn't successful.

Not sure who you were talking to >_> While the GC is clearly the better system from a hardware standpoint, it was never as popular as the N64. And hardware in general doesn't necessarily determine success. The ps2 was the weakest system of its generation, yet it had the best overall showing thanks to a strong library. The ps1 ran like shit, but it also got massive support.

The PSX was far superior. Generally speaking the best consoles are the PS2, SNES, and PSX with nothing else really coming terribly close.

Yeah, PS2, SNES, and PS1 are by far and away the best systems, because of their games libraries.

I like GC a lot more than you though, apparently. It's Nintendo's 3rd best home console after SNES and NES for me.

Why was there a FF8 land slide over SM64? SM64 is the pinnacle of the N64. SM64 has platforming, different obstacles, great music, fun level design. FF8's redeeming quality qualities is graphics. In FF8, for you to use limit breaks is that your hp has to down but from a gameplay perspective low hp means a high chance of getting a gameover. It's draw system is interesting and having more spells means an increase in stats if you junction magic but using magic in battle limits your stats. So using magic is counter intuitive.
