Support NeoGAF

Man you have built up resentment over that console. You're the same guy that was trashing it in the other thread. Jesus.

It was not contemporary technology in any point in its lifecycle and no hopium can change that. Nintendo is a hell of a drug.

Pisses all over Saturn's 3D though, doesn't it

Damn right. Saturn sucks at 3D. Doesn't make N64 good. N64 can't even do high level 2D like Saturn.

Damn right. Doesn't make it good. N64 can't even do impressive 2D like Saturn.

Shame everyone wanted 3D in 1996 instead of another NeoGeo.

Saturn belongs to the 3DO league, not the N64 or PS1 league

3DO was an expensive piece of 1993 hardware that never got fully utilized. Saturn hardware is weaker than it in all categories.

It's a shame the NeoGAF mods are too lenient on such blatant trolling, which completely derails and undermines the thread. It's not on the level of the ResetEra/Famiboards dictatorship, but in this case, some moderation would go a long way toward keeping the discussion at least somewhat reasonable.

That trick made the characters look good... But it sacrifices a setting by making it look like just a drawn cardboard box.

Well, yeah, it's Pokémon Stadium and there are only battles. No real point in having detailed backgrounds you can't even explore anyway.

Putting all the processing power into rendering and animating 251 unique models was the right decision.

game was so much better than expected

hope it gets a full blown remake

Two of those gifs are MML 2 on the PS1. Don't think that game came to the N64

I'm no expert, but don't some of the GIFs come from Mega Man Legends 2? Which isn't on the N64.

Not a big enough deal to remove them. My message remains clear regardless.

Rush 2049 is a great showcase of how much the N64 evolved visually by its final years. Compared to San Francisco Rush and Rush 2, it looks dramatically cleaner and more refined — with better textures, longer draw distance, vibrant lighting, and that distinct futuristic aesthetic that still holds up. It really pushed the hardware with large, open tracks and a smooth sense of speed rarely seen on the system.

The Dreamcast version naturally looks sharper, with higher resolution and smoother performance, but the N64 version deserves a lot of credit for what it accomplished. It also refined the gameplay — tighter handling, more complex tracks, and the addition of the iconic stunt mode, which gave the game lasting appeal and personality.

Oh well, I don't like Nintendo and the 64 was one of my favorite consoles.

I'll just wait until Cireza comes to that thread ! Good times ahead.

what were you smoking? voodoo didn't release its first consumer product until the launch of the n64 and it wasn't much better. though through out the n64 life PC Cards got way better. same as every gen after.

Blast Corps looked great too. All the destruction was awesome to see.
