SUPER MARIO 64 BOX ART 1080 FULL

The Nintendo 64 is also noted as the last home console system to use cartridges until the Nintendo Switch. The Nintendo 64 also featured the first successful analog control stick implementation and four built-in controller ports, unlike its competitors, the PlayStation and the Sega Saturn. The Nintendo 64 was able to pull this off because it was the first system to feature a 64-bit processor and 32-bit graphics chip (aside from the failed Atari Jaguar, which featured multiple coprocessors using 64-bit architecture on a 32-bit main processor).

Super Mario 64 was one of the first games of its kind to feature full 3D graphics and depth of field effects. Furthermore, although its sales figures were lackluster, the Nintendo 64 is not considered a true commercial failure, still generating a profit for Nintendo and outselling the Sega Saturn outside Japan. Despite this, the Nintendo 64 gained popularity during the first few months of its release, mainly due to the release of the critically acclaimed Super Mario 64. It was codenamed 'Project Reality' during development and is the first Nintendo home console to use the same name and design between the Japanese and international versions.Īfter failing to beat the PlayStation and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System's sales, the Nintendo 64 was described as 'a step backwards for the company in terms of commercial success' due to a number of poor business decisions associated with the system, most notably the choice to use ROM cartridges for its games (instead of the higher-capacity CD-ROMs used by competing systems) and a lack of substantial third-party support, the latter of which is commonly pinned on frustrations with Nintendo's licensing policies. It was released in 1996 to compete with the Sega Saturn and the PlayStation. The Nintendo 64 (formatted on the logo as NINTENDO ® 64), also referred to as the N64 and rebranded the Hyundai Comboy 64 in South Korea, is a video game console created by Nintendo.
