These two are generally regarded pretty closely, maybe Genesis is considered a little better, but N64 is seen to have had the better top games.

I know, I'm saying these are held at a similar level of esteem. The SNES and (arguably) the PS1 were more highly regarded.

Genesis for me. It may not have the strongest jrpg/srpg library, but at least it has something.

Sega Genesis without a doubt. It's what grown up with and I never felt the need to buy a N64.

Legitimately torn. Sega Genesis was my first system ever but I logged way more hours on the N64. I have to give the edge to Sega.

The PS1 sold over 100 million consoles let's just say it's pretty damn popular and highly regarded. The library of good games on the PS1 is very large and covers all game types

The Genesis and N64 aren't comparably popular. The Genesis is probably closer to the WiiU.

The Wii U was the worst selling Nintendo console of all time and the Genesis was neck and neck with the SNES through most of its lifespan, so that really doesn't remotely work as a comparison.

Grew up on NES, SNES and N64, but I still vote Genesis overall. N64 has the better top tier games IMO but Genesis has more good games.

Also going back to play today I can only play like 15-20 N64 games.. Genesis I can go back to 50+ games. Genesis holds up better today.

Genesis honestly. I didn't realize how horrible the 64 controller was until in was older.

Though I have more fond memories of the 64, the Genesis is overall more appealing at this point.

Genesis games have aged much better

I sold my Genesis. Only one of two systems I don't own anymore as I didn't see the point of keeping it. I had 2 games (Joe Montana football '95, which crashed/glitched out constantly) and NBA Jam TE. I just rented games if there were any other games I wanted to play.

N64 wins as I still own it and the system has some of my favorite games of all time

Genesis, despite the fact that I think the SNES is the best system ever, I was always envious of the kids who had a Genesis. Given that the Turbo Graphix 16 was around at the same time, us early 90's kids were spoiled.

I could never get into the N64, even the "best" games didn't interest me at all. Only ones I marginally enjoyed was Zelda 64 and Majora's Mask, but I never had any desire to go back and play them again.

Genesis had CV Bloodlines, Shining Force (I think?), and Sonic...N64 had Zelda OoT and MM, SM64, Banjo-Kazooie, and Paper Mario.

As much as I like CV, that was really the only game on the Genesis I cared about. Meanwhile, the N64 has multiple games I like a lot. The choice is obvious.

I'd like to think N64 early on had the vote stuffing and thus jumped to such a big lead.

Only way I could explain how it was winning so much initially. Finally, enough people on the site noticed this poll to counteract the vote stuffing....for now.

N64 is easily one of, if not the worst, of the mainstream successful consoles. Its library of games that hold up as classics, is pretty much nonexistent. It owes the bulk of its goodwill to having so much 4 player support.

I've hated every "main" controller from N64 onward. I wish they'd make the "classic" or "pro" controllers the standard option.

Pretty much.
Going back, the Saturn and playstation beat it in like every way. Heck, if you want multiplayer, the Saturn had a ten player bomberman.
N64 is a console that shows how short sighted technology can be. If it didn't have Nintendo on it, it probably would have bombed with all of its flaws.

If it didn't have those 2 Zelda games, Mario 64 / Kart and Goldeneye it would have bombed with the Nintendo name. PlayStation destroyed it. I have a soft spot for the N64 and a small Collection of like 20 games but that's as far as I can go with it today. I honestly haven't even played mine in like 3 years now.. I've played PS1 within the last month and Saturn just last night.

That era in general just doesn't hold up as well as others. The amount of PS1 games that are playable these days is pretty slim as well outside of RPGs.

Maybe the comparison should have been Sega Genesis vs Super Nintendo.

The N64 could have been compared to the Sega Saturn.

I would be interested in comparing something to the Saturn, though

Now you're just looking through rose tinted nostalgic glasses. Ps1 certainly beat the N64, but the Saturn (which came out before the 64) was still annihilated in sales. Saturn had less power too.

To say "If they didn't have their best selling franchises, the system would have not been successful" is a foolish remark
