Lol sorry, wasn't my intention to poopoo the thread. I had a 64, but I just don't remember it like I remember the snes/genny or the ps/saturn.

I agree with this. However, I don't think it's all nostalgia...I still run into games I haven't played before on NES and other older systems and may like the gameplay, artwork, etc. Everything is about spectacle now and not very challenging. I agree that older 3D games didn't age very well. Still, there are enough good games on the N64 to warrant a purchase...though I'm not wholly impressed with the lineup.

I'm most curious about the hardware for this. NES and SNES were already near perfectly emulated before the classic systems came along. I've yet to see an N64 emulator that plays everything correctly, especially on an inexpensive rig. If it could play it all, it would be nice once it's hacked. Would have liked to have seen Doom 64, NBA Hangtime, Castlevania(s), Smash and Rogue Squadron.

If I'm not busy throwing rocks at ghosts when pre orders drop, I'll be sure to call you.

Best post ever!
Unfortunately my mom doesn’t let me have a phone, she’s concerned that immoral girls would call me if I did.

Not sure I believe this...
Didn't we talk on the phone once about some Amazing Taders?
Maybe I'm confusing you with someone else. Very Possible.

Could be a Nintendo direct announcement as early as tomorrow, but almost certainly this month. Hopefully it becomes official.

Calling Bomberman gay is very sad. I'm dissapointed in you LoneSage.

Have to say, I despise all the Donkey Kong games. For the same reason I dont like Mario Odyssey. They're just a shitty collect fest. Run around and collect a bunch of meaningless stupid items that do nothing. My idea of fun isn't running around for an hour in the fucking maze, trying to find all the pointless items. Unless they make my character more bad ass, and are optional. How many bananas do you really need in one stage???
Those games are for little kids, or adults who suck at real games. They play that garbage because they have no skills, and that's the only type of game they can beat.

You don't like Donkey Kong? Donkey Kong Junior? Donkey Kong Country? Really?

Yeah! The SNES had not enough power to pull it off, but three generations later DKC began to make sense.

So looks like this is not happening
I blame all of you negative n64 haters - Nintendo probably saw all the hate the n64 gets on this forum and decided not to release the system. Damn it, it’s all your fault!!!!

I think it has more to do with the fact that they can't get n64 emulation running on the shitty arm processors that these things usually have. A pi3 is a bit more powerful than the SNES mini and it really can't run them worth a shit. Nintendo will have to design some new hardware to get it done.So looks like this is not happening

I'm sure they could use some variation of the Wii for it but that's likely to cost more than the $5 the Minis cost them to make.

I agree...the Mini consoles are selling like hot cakes (at least, last I checked they were) and now is the prime time for N64 nostalgia as most of that system's primary target audience is now getting to the age where they'd want to relive those games.

I'm crossing my fingers and hope that the Nintendo 64 Classic is just put on the back burner for now, but having one would be really awesome. I'd hope that the Star Wars games were on it most of all. Rogue Squadron, Shadows of the Empire, and Episode I: Racer still hold up very well. I'd also still want to play those Castlevania games and Yoshi's Story.

The N64's power is a double edged sword. It's what made the system superior to the competition at the time and is also what makes it hard to re-release today for a reasonable price.

They should release it to coincide with the PSXmini and Sega release a Saturn mini.

I dunno guys. I think it has to do with the Switch’s online service. Maybe n64 games will be coming to that and they want people to subscribe. $30 online fees annually for digital content will bring in a lot more revenue than manufacturing/selling a 1 and one console...
I don’t think we are ever gonna get a mini
