@NateM94 If your gonna game portably you probably dont wanna do it on your phone when you can have something like a Switch or a Steam deck thats the only point I was trying to make.

I know it may be sad but emulation really is going to be the only suitable option for gaming. I myself am starting to build up a collection on my 10tb NAS. Same thing for Streaming Movies and stuff. I am fed up I no longer stream or anything I just store all the files on my drives.

@NateM94 I assure you they all run better on steam deck.

@nocdaes Oh ok xD

@nocdaes Where did you hear about a remake?

The world getting more F-Zero is always a great thing!

@Poodlestargenerica I know. Shantae is legit one of my favorite series. Love wayforward! also mutant mudds is also totally rad!

@Sketcz it became Pikmin (my favorite series ever)

@Henbenpet Ok cool ill keep it bookmarked. I will compare it to the eon 64 I have to see which is better for oled thank you!

@Serpenterror Its most likely a gamecube controller for Switch 2 online. Which I would love tbh.

@Poodlestargenerica I dont like any playstation controllers that much. The thumbstic placements seem bad to me. I rather use an xbox or Nintendo controller.

But yes the Wii U gamepad is ultra comfy.

@Henbenpet Thanks! I play my n64 atleast 2 times a week. I will look into the Rad2nx because I also wanna upgrade to an oled tv. Do you buy it on amazon or do they have their own site to buy it from?

@mariteaux Fair enough. I do love spyro to but Mario 64 is still my favorite game of all time lol

@-wc- well tbh I wish I was but I only got a dreamcast in 2009 lol. I just love the game library though. Dreamcast and Gamecube are my favorite systems. But I also love the Genesis and Saturn as well.

Im a big nintendo fan but I love sega almost even more.

@mariteaux The n64 is more powerful than the ps1 and the graphics on N64 looked way better and alot more high poly. The ps1 was not crisp it had warped weird blurry 3d models compared to the N64. Ps1 looks objectively worse than n64 look at spyro compared to mario 64 or metal gear compared to zelda ocarina.

@Bearzilla823 " The System was a pos" what are you on about? The system is still my favorite console of all time. Fzerox, Super Mario 64, Zelda Ocarina of time and Majoras mask. Smash bros, Mario Kart 64. Wave race, banjo kazooie 1 and 2, Goldeneye, perfect dark,conkers bad furday, Dk64, Starfox 64, Diddy kong Racing, Pokemon Snap, Pokemon Stadium 1&2 like the list of games for this system is nothing short of incredible and still the best moments of my gaming life were had with the N64

Stories like these give me the same feeling as a cold snowy winter night indoors with hot tea or hot choclate with a blanket and playing your favorite game on a crt tv

Thanks for the story! love this site and its writers so much!

A fun memory I had was in the gamecube era I went to school with this girl and a couple friends who were into animal crossing. We would let eachother borrow our memory cards for a day so we could go home after school and import like fruits from other villages that we did not have and sometimes our villagers would jump from memory card to memory card so we always hear them talk about eachother. This was in 2001 to like 2004.

We all lost contact and that girl moved from Ohio to Canada. one of the guys I kept in contact with but he got into drugs and sadly overdosed and passed away.

but whenever I boot up animal crossing on my gamecube with the memory card I still have the letters they sent me and I even have signs and clothes of their custom designs they left in my village as well as their villagers that came from their towns asking about them once in a while. I shared the letters we used to send to my friend that passed family (dont worry they were holesome and not the dumb dirty joke ones we used to do back then xD)
and they were really delighted.

The memory cards legit save memories.

@-wc- same!

I have the eon hd and the everdrive 64 both are amazing. I bought one of those new redesigned controllers but I like the original better.

I am the only person I think that plays the n64 controller holding it from both sides. I never hold the middle prong/handle unless im playing an fps maybe but even then I usually like just holding it from both sides. I find it comftorable where my thumb stretches out to move the anologue stick but I think I just have really big hands because for pc games I use the xbox duke controller.

@Zuljaras Wow your n64 is amazing!
