Why not embrace both instead of divide?
Dude, are you crazy?  That's like having two girlfriends or something. 



Ps1 is a whore so it doesn't count.

stunt racer 64
snowboard kids 1,2
fighters destiny 1,2
goemon's great adventure
gauntlet legends
twisted edge snowboarding
castlevania legacy of darkness
fighting force 64
tony hawk games
bombermans
all the aki wcw and wwf games
Rush games
etc. I can go on

There are alot of great games that just didn't get over that well cause of the bad frame rates but i think once the 64 3rd party consoles come out
with perfect emulation and upscaling fps,textures etc. then some games with bad frame rates like mystical ninja and starshot might get a little more shine.

I think there is alot of potential with the 64. It just needs that 3rd party console with all the enhancers to get some more serious deep interest. ]]> Sega Saturn is better than the Nintendo 64 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=188604 2019-09-09T00:45:49 -05.00 attakid101 88 ]]> Sega Saturn is better than the Nintendo 64 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=188604 2019-09-09T00:17:36 -05.00 attakid101 88 Originally posted by: attakid101

In my mind the Saturn has a more varied assortment of great games.
Pretty much this. The Saturn has a much wider variety of available games and this is why the N64 has always been third for me when it came to that generation.

Ok, help me out a little. I like N64 games, and I've never played a Saturn. I've basically ignored the Saturn my whole life. So I couldn't name even one Saturn game if my life depended on it. I always assumed it was junk, since it didn't do well enough to fund its own successor.

So sure, I'll bite. What are the "killer apps" that make the Saturn better than the N64? I'm genuinely interested to look into them. Based on your post, I assume you have a nice, long list of must-plays, and that you're not just coming from "N64 is so bad that even the Saturn is better."
Dammit! I was hoping I wouldn't have to defend my position!

Alright here's where things get kind of ambiguous... Ultimately I can't recommend collecting for the Saturn, even though I love its catalog. Shit's just too expensive, bro. 

But here's a short list of games I recommend checking out if you can:

Dragon Force (totally addicting strategy RPG)
Guardian Heroes (unique and strategic beat 'em up)
Galactic Attack (reasonably priced and creative shooter)
Panzer Dragoon & Panzer Dragoon Zwei (unforgettable rail shooters)
Virtua Fighter 2 (super affordable 3D fighter)
Sega Rally Championship (super affordable and addicting rally racer)
Magic Knight Rayearth (fun little action RPG)
Shining Force III (strategy RPG--I prefer Dragon Force. Still Fun though

If you're willing to import (and you should)

X-Men VS Street Fighter (best version on any console)
Vampire Savior (pretty much arcade perfect fighter)
Soukyugurentai (affordable and creative shooter)
Gunbird (awesome shooter--cheap)
Radian Silvergun (it's Radian Silvergun...amazing)
Silhouette Mirage (super creative action platformer)

There's lots more, man. And there's plenty of great stuff I've never even played.


 
well im sure n64 has imports too , but

Im seeing alot of RPG and Shoot em Ups? on that list. Yawn.

This all leads to a great question in general-- what IS the greatest system of all time?

For me... yeah, I'm going to go with the PSX. But it never even made it outside of Japan...and retailed for near $800!  Interesting idea but it along with the "luxury consoles" of the 90s (CD-i, 3DO, Neo-Geo, etc) are examples of too much tech, too soon, too expensive for most people, and thus, doesn't really catch on.

I think the mentality of “this system is better than that system” is way outdated.

Its not about the systems, it's about the games. Each good game speaks for itself They're like yin and yang though. You can't have the hardware without the software, and you can't have the software without the hardware.

Then again, the N64 didn't get a Metroid game either! ]]> Sega Saturn is better than the Nintendo 64 http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=188604 2019-09-08T19:10:28 -05.00 attakid101 88
