The N64DD did see the light of day. But it was realesed only in Japan

[NewGenGamers]

Correct. Sorry we didn't specify, but we meant it didn't see the light of day in the USA. I wanted to play Doshin the Giant so bad! -Ron

Ah the N64

i really loved my PS1 but lets be honest when there was a good game on N64 it was VERY good.

zelda oot 4 example destroys PS1s libary of games.

Mario kart!!!!! my god i used to come in from school sit down and just play 2-player

N64 was special.

ps1 were great but IMO N64 had the classics!

[NewGenGamers]

I agree, and those gems on the N64 still hold up as fun games today which is pretty impressive. Anyone who missed out should definitely go back to check out some of those ground breaking games. I had an N64 at the time and was always jealous of the tons of games my PS1 owning friends had, but like you said the games that did come out for N64 were excellent and I knew that I was getting my money's worth at least even if some were $60 compared to $40 PS1 games. -Ron

[triplet1325]

its called the dynamic drive not disc drive.

[NewGenGamers]

I had never heard that, but it seems that 'dynamic drive' was the original intended name for it and later switched to 'disk drive'. Thanks for letting us know though. I do remember when the N64 was codenamed 'Project Reality' though lol. -Ron

That commercial at the end was just wtf?

[insidertaken2]

[MrAmonkey7]

that game was awsome

[mariojuggernaut22]

@yewles1 wrong it had a 64 bit processor but a 32 bit grafics chip

[ozzyman75]

@NewGenGamers i totally agree with ya .

[loutheman13]

woot

[yewles1]

Two things: First, the N64 wasn't true 64-bit, it was dual 32-bit. Second, the 64DD made it to Japan and had a better than expected run.

[Justsmoke42O]

ps1 had better games but the n64 was still SO badass I still have mine ill never sell it

[GamingShadow01]
