Summary: Obsolete
Comment: 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.

Summary: Not a bad system
Comment: I picked this system up a couple of days ago, expansion pack included, for 20 dollars. I also bought Turok Seeds of Evil and Perfect dark for under $10. I also recently bought a couple of other vintage systems, so you can say I enjoy the old games. While I have stated in other reviews that I will get a "next gen" sytem soon, I'm still enjoying the "oldies" While this system may be "outdated" by today's standards, don't be so quick to rule the N64 out. The graphics and sound for it's time are not bad, and the controller fits well in my hand. Not a bad deal at all.

Summary: Setting the standard for years to come
Comment: This is an excellent system, and the price is good, because Nintendo is not developing for the system anymore. There were a ton of games developed, but if you stick to the Mario, Zelda, 007, and Tetris titles, you can't go wrong.
I managed to buy the Nintendo 64, Zelda: Ocarina in Time, Mario 64, and The New Tetris for less that $50. The collection should be complete with another $150 and some deep searching. The replay value for the N64 is second to none, because most games are for four players.
The system is highly recommendable, and for maximum fun buy three more controllers and the expansion pack. In my area I've found top notch controllers for $5. Check the pawn shop.
