N64 Review

Brief Description:

The N64 was Nintendo's 3rd home console ever to be released outside of Japan. N64 stands for Nintendo 64. One variation of this console was released called the N64DD. It was released in 1996.

The Positive Points:

-It gave birth to Super Smash Bros.

-It introduced and perfected a new genre of 3D platformer.

-It was the first console to ever have 4 built-in controller ports. This allowed for 4 player action.

-The N64 controllers were cool, unique, and comfortable. The controllers also came with brand new features such as an upgraded version of the joystick, and a shock affect, things that upped the standard for Sony's duel-shock controllers and those to come.

-It along with it's controllers came in many different cool colours. You could even get a translucent or gold N64 console and controllers.

The Negative Points:

-Despite there being more pixels, the graphics were horrible. Lots of us (including me) would get headaches after playing on the N64 for 30 minutes or so.

-The console still used cartridges, which lead to the games for the N64 to be expensive.

Innovative: Yes

Affordability At It's Release (affordability for it's time): Fair

General Public Rating: Fair

Success: A Little Successful

My Personal Final Rating: Good (4/6)
