Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
Nintendo first dabbled in video games during the industry's early years of the mid-70s. Generations of successful gaming console releases through the years led to the much-hyped 1996 launch of Nintendo 64, a system that represented a giant evolutionary leap in video game technology. Within the first three days of launch, hundreds of thousands of gamers hunkered down with Mario 64, considered by many to be one of the greatest video games ever created. Even today, the system's excellent design continues to host an ever-expanding library of breakthrough games.
Nintendo 64's popularity among younger gamers is no surprise. Well-respected games featuring such long-lived and much-loved personalities as Mario (of arcade classic Donkey Kong fame), Zelda, and Banjo-Kazooie are easy to learn and offer enormous replay value. But times are a' changin' and the system's ever-growing library of titles has expanded into every genre of games imaginable, including games better suited for older gamers. In fact, some of the most acclaimed--in some cases, groundbreaking--games available on any platform today are packed onto N64's old-school cartridges.
Under the system's hood, its appeal to the young certainly didn't produce a less mature gaming machine. On the contrary, the 64-bit system boasts impressive graphics, stereo sound, and numerous accessory enhancements, including a high-resolution pack that boosts graphics to awe-inspiring resolutions.
Start your library with Goldeneye 007, Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Legend of Zelda: The Ocarina of Time, and Star Wars: Episode One Racer--these titles represent a decent start to any N64 cartridge library.
With the launch of Sega's Dreamcast system, Nintendo 64 is being left behind as the leader in video game technology. And with newer game systems featuring CD-based games, the system's expensive cartridge format is proving itself an archaic and unconventional storage format. But it has innovative accessory enhancements and a great library of games to keep the system's rabid fan base satisfied, if not eager for Nintendo's next evolutionary step. --Eric Twelker

Nothing can beat the classics. Graphics power and sound quality and HD may be the new era but nothing can live up to the simplicity and the sheer enjoyability that we have came to know as the N64. When i first went to my cousins house, he had this console and at the time it was like the XBOX 360 of the era. He had mario kart and i was just blown away. I had to have one of these consoles. I first got my N64 in 1999, and let me tell you, i was so happy that i got it. The controller looked complex at the time because i was used to playing Sega Megadrive, but i soon got used to it. The console looked sleek, it was compatible with a rumble pak, a transfer pak, a memory pak, and an expansion pak.
The best titles that i owned at the time and i recommend them to all of you hardcore gaming fans who like to live the retro style are Donkey Kong 64, Zelda ocarina of time, Mario Kart 64, Spuer Mario 64, Super Smash Bros, Lylatwars, Perfect Dark, 007 Goldeneye and much more
This game was and still is, the ultimate console in its era and just brings back so many memories of all those sleepless nights and long days staying inside. N64 is what a console is all about. Ill recommend this to everyone.

The console itself arrived 2 days early, and for that I absolutely love this seller because I hate waiting a week just to get all my stuff however, it arrived it very bad condition (Rattling Inside, plastic chunks broken off, not too serious but annoying but at least it didn't harm the main look of the console) but it worked, checked if it had a Jumper Pak (Always do this because without the Jumper Pak the console can NOT display video) and slotted in a cart, worked perfectly, now just have to wait 'till the controllers arrive ¬.¬

The nintendo 64 is a brilliant peice of gaming hardware. It boasts hundreds of games for all players, althogh i beleive its main brilliance is in it's multi-player games such as: Perfect Dark, Goldeneye, The World is not Enough, Super smash brothers, Turok, or Mario Kart 64...
The games machine also excells in other games such as Zelda as it is superb for the role playing gamers or maybe you prefer 1st person messy shooters like Perfect Dark or may be for people who like scary games there is Resident Evil 2 or for people who...............
In a nutshell the N64 shows amazing graphics and next to no loading times,Pure 100% Brilliance!!!!!

Great item on the whole
Love the console and it works well. Sadly the controller has a very sticky B button, which makes some games difficult to play. However everything else was great!
