Editorial Review: Nintendo first dabbled in video games during the industry's early years of the mid-'70s. Generations of successful gaming console releases through the years led to the much-hyped 1996 launch of Nintendo 64, a system that represented a giant evolutionary leap in video game technology. Within the first three days of launch, hundreds of thousands of gamers hunkered down with Mario 64, considered by many to be one of the greatest video games ever created. Even today, the system's excellent design continues to host an ever-expanding library of breakthrough games.
Nintendo 64's popularity among younger gamers is no surprise. Well-respected games featuring such long-lived and much-loved personalities as Mario (of arcade classic Donkey Kong fame), Zelda, and Banjo-Kazooie are easy to learn and offer enormous replay value. But times are a' changin' and the system's ever-growing library of titles has expanded into every genre of games imaginable, including games better-suited for older gamers. In fact, some of the most acclaimed--in some cases, groundbreaking--games available on any platform today are packed onto N64's old-school cartridges.
Under the system's hood, its appeal to the young certainly didn't produce a less mature gaming machine. On the contrary, the 64-bit system boasts impressive graphics, stereo sound, and numerous accessory enhancements, including a high-resolution pack that boosts graphics to awe-inspiring resolutions.
Start your library with Goldeneye 007, Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, and Star Wars: Episode One Racer--these titles represent a decent start to any N64 cartridge library.
With the recent launch of Sega's Dreamcast system, Nintendo 64 is being left behind as the leader in video game technology. And with newer game systems featuring CD-based games, the system's expensive cartridge format is proving itself an archaic and unconventional storage format. But, at a sub-$100 recommended retail price, innovative accessory enhancements and a great library of games keep the system's rabid fan base satisfied, if not eager for Nintendo's next evolutionary step. --Eric Twelker

The Nintendo 64 has been out for a number of years now, and is made by argubally the best video game company in the world - Nintendo. The history of video games pre-nintendo 64 was computer games and 2D games that were fun in their own right. But 2D is one thing, and can be perfected only so much before expansions into new teritory, with endless possiblilitys happened, with the begging of 3D games. The same thing aplies to the N64. It was new, it had endless possibilites, and many amazing things blossomed from this system. But it could only be taken so far, when using cartridges, while other systems were using disks, to get maximum graphic capability, sound quality, ect.
But it did eventually get to the point where the system could not expand any more, and for new and better things to come out of Nintendo as a company, a new system had to be built. And now, presently, the game cube is in the possition the N64 was, endless possibilitys. But now Nintendo has a new problem on it's hands, and that is compatition. For the first time since the N64 pionered through 3D gaming, gamers are questioning if Nintendo is still the best. And with this new age of gaming, Nintendo is now forced to put everything they possibly can into perfecting there new system.
The point of this? Now, the N64 has fallen into the past. Nearly forgotten, it sits next to old Super Nintendos, and original NES's. High up on the shelf, so when it is glanced up at, it is remembered fondly, but is truley obsolete, and for most gamers, not fit for entertainment.
But there is 1 good thing that's come out of this. For the virgin Nintendo gamers, the N64 is more accesible then ever before. Just look at how game prices, system prices, and accesory prices have plummeled! Every game old gamers used to put on Christmas lists, for they were once $50 each in their youth, are now possible to be bought for prices not just reasonable, but bargans.
The Nintendo is a great system, with loads of potential to be lots of fun for everyone. But with it's older brother, the gamecube, coming out with amazing releases every couple months, it is not a surprize N64 has fallen to the back of our closets, and our minds.
Rating: - Buy it!!!
