Hey, the n64 did kick ass. The games tim mentioned and more alone made it worth getting. Mario 64 was one of the best gaming experiences I've ever had. As for the controller gripe, I don't see what the problem is. I loved using it. The only thing I didn't like were the C buttons for fighting games. The joystick was very responsive though. I think overall I prefer it to the ps/ps2 controller.
As for nintendo and it's "failing"....I kinda have to agree with jamesman on some stuff here. I was thinking about getting a gcn soon but when I think about the games I'll be getting, most of em are "if they get made" or "when it's released" types and I really have trouble shelling out a couple hundred bucks for that...But I'm too much of a nintendo fan boy not to
Btw, perfect dark and conker's bad fur day kick ass
