The NES was a colossal hit and would reign supreme for nearly a decade until the SEGA Genesis arrived. I personally couldn’t have cared less how they marketed it, as my intentions were more selfish-oriented (I didn’t plan on sharing my Nintendo).
Nintendo leveraged their new product not simply as “a video game system,” but rather as a well rounded (family oriented) “Entertainment System,” in hopes that this creative marketing would aid them in recapturing lost ground in the home console-gaming market. The original console wars between ATARI, Coleco and Intellivision ended in all three companies hitting very hard times. When Nintendo emerged on the scene with this 8-bit NES, the video game industry was in dire straits after nearly flat-lining in the crash of 1983. Still, with the 4 MB expansion installed and larger 32 – 64 MB carts used, textures and game resolutions could be increased to make some stunning looking games for the time.This is the home console that saved the video game market and got it rolling again. These also required too much space and are all but absent from N64 games.

Another popular element on CD based game were movie cut-scenes, animated or live video.

Also, you didn’t have the storage for full fledged CD quality music, so music scores that appeared on other systems would be reduced in length or removed from the N64 version. With the limited space, textures are often muddy or blurry and stretched to fit the polygon. The game cartridges could contain 4 MB of storage space all the way up to 64 MB, which is minuscule compared to the CD based competition which could hold over 600 MB on a less expensive CD. But due to cartridge restrictions, many other areas were not as capable. Compared to its competition, the SEGA Saturn and SONY Playstation, I would say the N64 could handle larger environments better with less pop-up or draw-in-take Zelda Ocarina of Time for example. The N64 was Nintendo’s first system with true 3D capabilities, and they showed it off at launch with Mario 64. Special colored systems would come with a matching controller or they could be bought separately. Not the easiest repair to do, but not too hard either.Īnd par for the course, the controller came available in over a dozen colors. But rest assured, these sticks are also repairable with replacements available online. If you’re looking for one make sure you ask about or try out the analog stick. Or in many cases they simply break off as they are raised up with a thin shaft of plastic. Over time and hard use, they become loose and often lean to one side and won’t stand up. In regards to durability, the analog controller is the Achilles Heel of the N64 controller. Not always ideal but it’s what we got, and we liked it!
In any position you end up with a trigger button, either using the top L & R buttons, or one of them with the Z button (located under the middle leg of the controller acting as the “other” L or R button. With only one analog stick, in a first person style game, you can often use either positions 1 or 2 for looking around and then use the D-pad or C-buttons (as a D-pad) to control movement. Oftentimes the position used is based on the game. As you can see from the image, there are three hand positions available when using the standard Nintendo 64 controller.
