Re: Hardware Classics: Nintendo 64

I certainly had fun on the N64 - Mario64 and OoT blew our minds; Starfox64 and GoldenEye defined competitive multiplayer; and Perfect Dark and Shadow of the Empire proved strange, wonderful tokens - but, honestly I have no desire to play these games ever again. Unlike every other Nintendo console, N64 games have aged horribly, and I consequently can't stand to revisit them. Fun memories, historical artifact, but that's it.

Given the monumental expectations for and tepid reality of the game (what one can legitimately deem a failure), I feel sympathy for Inafune. Granted, he could have continued to delay its release, but he probably realized that only by starting from scratch could it have lived up to his, and our, expectations - additional delays which the market had no patience for, and the company's coffers couldn't justify (remember, they don't have Nintendo's deep pockets). So we get a mediocre game; oh well. Let's see what he comes up with in the future.
