I don’t know where to start with this N64 talk so I’ll just mention a few things.
I really liked the N64 growing up and it did have some very influential games. Games that set the standards for game design going forward. But a lot of the games I played growing up have been re-released and I prefer them more that the originals 99% of the time. Some have not been released obviously but I don’t have a strong desire to go back and play them.
I prefer the DS version of Mario 64 (I know — that’s crazy talk). The two Zelda remakes of the 3DS are great in my opinion. The two Banjo games and Perfect Dark got great ports on the Xbox 360.
All that being said, 5th Gen for me was mostly spent with a GBC in hand. And my nostalgia is stronger with the GameCube and GBA since that was the console/portable that was out during my high school days.
I still miss some games like DK64, Paper Mario (prefer TYD), Yoshis Story, MK64, and a couple of the WWF games.
