Info:
The Nintendo 64 was a radical change from the accepted way by still using
cartridges. It is debateable on how much this affected them, but the main
lack was the lack of titles in the beginning. Now the Nintendo 64 is going
strong due to Rare, Nintendo, Konami, Acclaim, and Midway. Acclaim and
Midway has a resurgance because of their support for the Nintendo 64. They
could make a sports game for the Nintendo 64 and have it be the only one
out there. The fact that people believed it would die stopped after Banjo-Kazooie
came out, and switched to whether Zelda would knock Sony from the top spor.
The Nintendo started a trend with it's controller set up. It made a analog
and digital joystick, along with the memory card port on the bottom of
the controller. It has spawned the rumble pack, which Sony copied, and
the 4 controller ports which made Goldeneye such a popular game. When Goldeneye
was in the top 10 games sold in 98 when it was released in 97 says a lot
about the fun death matching it has. 5 chipsets, the cartridge and memory
needed to be emulated, and people thought it would take a 800 Mhz computer.
Well, UltraHLE fixed that theory. And this is where we are. I'm still disappointed
about the fact that it is limited to 32MB of Data.
