I purchased my N64 the day it came out and have not regreted it a day since. The reason I still constantly play my N64 is for the games that are exclusive to that system. I still log hours on my PlayStation for PlayStation exclusive titles as well though. Just the same for the PC. The are three developers for the N64 that constantly release excellent stuff. (That we should all learn by). Nintendo EAD, Rare, and Iguana. 1. Nintendo is the innovator. When something new is breaking the scene Nintendo is usually the first to do it. Maybe this is just my opinion but its a valid point to take. Sure they have release date problems and stuff but you always know what you are gonna get from an in-house Nintendo game. FUN. And then there's Zelda...... 2. Rare. Master programmers. They constantly amaze me with everything they do. A perfect example is there upcoming Banjo-Kazooie. I haven't played it yet but of what I've seen and read it's the game of 1998. 3. Iguana. My personal favorite development team. After the release of Turok, I really game them a second look. There sports game are Hi-Res, Turok 2 looks fabulous, they are definitely something to watch for. As for the other games and short comings. I am dissapointed by the lack of excellent games. But then since I only have so much to play games it has not been a problem. Will I replace my Nintendo when "The New One" comes out. Definitely. For those games that will never apear on any other system. The same as I will purchase a PSX 2.
