It's not even the best console of its era.

I agree.

I LOVE Nintendo but the 64 came a bit too late.

Was more popular, "better" is just subjective

grendelglass t1_jd5fj5y wrote

While that is technically correct (the best kind), PS2 just had way more high quality games, a DVD player, and a more ergonomic controller to offer.

While the N64 was one of my personal favourites, the PS2 is a better console all around

In the same way that the N64 being the best console is subjective 💀

The playstation beats it in every way imaginable. Still a good console

I agree that PS2 was better, but N64 did couch co-op better, which is one way that's imaginable.

Such a shit tier meme. How about any console that has these 2 very basic criteria:

1-A controller you can actually hold.

2-Technology modern to its time.

tim_fox_32 t1_jd5ej6f wrote

Better depends on personal preference. I had good memories on PS2, but if I were to go with nintendo. The GameCube, it had a lot of good games & it could have a GB player. My personal preferences 👌

I've had more fun on the PlayStation memory card screen than playing the N64

The Wii, it has n64 games you can buy on it and it’s backwards compatible with the gamecube and the console itself has an amazing library of games

SosaTheBigHomie t1_jd6hbfw wrote

I’m 25 so forgive my short hands on knowledge, but the ps2 and n64 constantly fight in my mind for too spot (GameCube is chilling in the back ready to cash in his MITB briefcase of the winner)

Man i hated the n64 starting with that controller. It had a few legendary games but this was peak shitty 3d era.

For me my favorites will always be the N64, Gamecube, and PS2.

Super Nintendo was far superior in the sense that it was a lot more FUN.

But I LOVE Nintendo 64 too!

Xbox 360. The prime console of the 21st century. Most iconic for gen z. And had awesome special edition consoles and a comfy controller

PresidentBush666 t1_jd8ci0e wrote

Steam deck. Does everything the N64 does but better. Also it's a functional handheld PC that can run emulators for most other consoles. That being said the N64 was amazing when I launched and I still love it despite the weird ass controller.

Snes and ps1 where better consoles.

Although it had some of the best games, it wasn't the best console.

Feyter t1_jd908h8 wrote

I know this is just a good old PlayStation VS Nintendo Fanboy trigger thread but I would actually add some real argument and thought to this.

First what really makes any gaming system great are the games. Of course this is highly subjective and people grown up with a playstation always will remember those games as the bedder games and of course playstation had great games BUT... Many 3D gameplay elements relevant up to this day where introduced with N64 games. I talking about thinks like 3D camera movement, the famous z-targeting and the use of a analog stick in general. This feature was so genius that Sony even had to updated the playstation controller after Nintendo introduced it.

Plus there are great games for Playstation no doubt about this BUT... With Shigeru Miyamoto as maybe the most talented game designer of our time and Koji kondo as maybe the most influential composer in the videogames industry, Nintendo had two of the most talented artist exclusively on their side.

Plus with Rare as one of the most innovative companies of the industry at this time also as an exclusive partner I really think the N64 was the most important console for 3D gaming at all.

PS: Still I love Sony for not giving up the gaming market after they where betrayed by Nintendo. Competition is always best for the market.

The Nintendo wii it had wii sports and wii sports resort, how can you ask for any more than those, although my opinion is subjective I do also have to agree with the fact the ps2 is all around the ps2 did have better games and was fun to use I personally am more inclined to go for the wii

The GameCube is better. It had a better controller and better games.
