With a game list so small, you’d think coming up with a ’30 Best’ list would be tricky, since there are so few games that nearly 1 in 10 will make the cut.
The PlayStation CD-ROMs meanwhile could store much more data, allowed for CD-quality music, could easily handle video and – most importantly – were much cheaper to manufacture.Īs such, while the PlayStation ended up with nearly 2500 games released for it worldwide, the N64 ended up with a meagre 388. Even though the N64’s cartridges meant near-instant load times, the fact was these cartridges cost a fortune to make. Ultimately, most developers sided with Sony and its use of CD-ROMs. The company’s infamous split from Sony (more on that in a future article) led to not only a new console war between companies, but a format war too: CDs versus cartridges. In the grand scheme of things, the Nintendo 64 didn’t have a hell of a lot of games. After all, there were 3D platformers before Super Mario 64, first-person shooters before GoldenEye and buckets of wank before Superman 64.īut – like the analogue stick on its iconic controller – while they weren’t the first of their kind, thanks to Nintendo’s innovation they were the first to capture the imaginations of gamers worldwide. The N64 marked Nintendo’s first proper foray into polygonal gaming (I know, the Super FX chip, but whatever), and with it came a bunch of new concepts that would go on to shape the games we play today. Nowhere was this influence clearer than in some of the games exclusive to the system. The history books list it as the system that was thoroughly trounced by the PlayStation, but with over 32 million sold – more than the Sega Mega Drive – its influence was still notable. įew retro games consoles are as fondly remembered as the Nintendo 64.
