If the ps1 sold better than the n64 why is the n64 the nostalgia

>>381241845
Because the games

>>381241845
Honestly, I had both when growing up and I don't understand why I loved the N64 so much more. PS1 had way, waaaay more games, but I guess the N64 games just stuck with me more, Mario64, Zelda, Banjo-Kazooie, they were just more memorable. That said, I loved my PS1 and had lots of fun with it and made fond memories. Man, especially that intro sound, still gives me lovely shivers every time.

n64 had cool exclusives
ps1 had pc ports

>>381243670
Yeah the first Tekken was so much better on PC.

everyone played the same 5 games.
like every nintedo console
ever

PS1 had more quality and quanitity to be honest. Everybody played different things though, that's why you usually don't have a conversation like

>Dude did you have [console]
>Yea, i LUUURVED [console]
>Did you play [game] and [GAME]?
>FUUUCK I DID: BEST GAMES EVER AM I RIGHT?
>RRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIGHTY RIGHT

That just happens with every nintendo console. It did have fun party games.

>>381244235

N64 had superior games, like SM64 and OoT.

The Nintendo 64 had very little games, but the quality ratio was extremely high. So you look back on N64 as being this very quality product.

PS1 had more good games than N64 had, but it also had a lot of shitty ones. I have more fond memories of my 64 than my PS1 simply because almost every game I bought for the PS1 was fucking shit, while every 64 game I bought was fucking great. I imagine a lot of people had the same experience as I did as a kid.

>>381244634
That's the fucker. Brings back memories of Spyro, Croc, that really weird Yu-Gi-Oh! game...

If a PS1 owner wants to talk about a game, they talk about that game specifically.
If N64 owner wants to talk about a game, they start with how Nintendo and their consoles are the best thing cince Jesus. See Nintendo defence force shit. TLDR: Fanboys

>>381245227
nintendo has a cult following in america

>>381243349
>Mario64, Zelda, Banjo-Kazooie, they were just more memorable

What about

Final Fantasy 7 and 8?
Metal Gear Solid?
Tekken 3?
Castlevania SOTN?
Resident Evil?
Silent Hill?
Crash Bandicoot?
Gran Turismo 2?
Spyro?

Not knowing what kind of game you're gonna buy with your allowance money at that time is the pinnacle of retardation.

>>381245465
wise words couldn't agree more

>>381241845
It's because it was the last good console from nintendo.

>>381245659
that is a very very good point
but the gamecube was great

>>381244664
As a kid I felt spoiled with all the great N64 games I owned, but looking back at it now, it really did have a lackluster library. There really weren't that many games on the system at all. But most of them were just really good so they stick in my memory.

>>381245336
PS1 had way more games, but not a lot of them were really good. Out of that list I only had Tekken 3 and the Spyro games, as well as YGO, some kind of Lego game in space or something and Heart of Darkness. PS1 had a lot more games, and some really great games, but also a lot of shitty games.

>>381246670
the only reason people say a lot of ps1 games are shit its because it had a fuck ton of games,if the n64 had has much games as the ps1 it would have been the same situation

PS1 had better graphics and more games.
N64 had more memorable games and was able to sidestep lower graphics by using stylized graphics well, which aged better than most PS1 games' attempt at realism.

>>381241845
Playstation users had new IPs and systems to play, nintendo users only got gimmicks and mario #32942c so rely on nostalgia.

Americans are the only ones how bought the N64,a lot of the big gaming websites around the web are american,you do the math.
Anyway the N64 was the weakest console in the 5th gen in terms of games.

>>381241845
quality > quantity

The PS1 had more good games AND more shit games. Just a vastly more diverse library loaded with hidden gems and total garbage. The PS1 probably has more good games than any other platform, except the ps2. This isn't a Wii situation where the library was big and had a ton of great and terrible games. Most were just terrible.

>>381241845
ps1 games aged worse.
hey, i know let's make a second analog and not use it to control the camera in any game.

>>381247445
I meant to say the Wii has a huge library, but lacks the abundance of great software like the PS1 and ps2 has.

>>381247082
>better graphics
lol

>>381241845
Ps1 had many classics that stand on their own.
N64 has aged rather poorly so people just discuss their nostalgia.

>>381247345
it was at least better than the saturn and the jaguar.

He is wrong

Because people remember both
-PS1 because it was better
-N64 because of nostalgia

And you remember only the latter

>>381248090
not very hard to do that

All the good ps1 games got shitty sequels that killed their franchises, and attempting to discuss the good ones without someone bringing up the shitty ones is impossible.

Because muh zelda and muhrio

PS1 had better games
N64 had the funnest games

Because you probably played the N64 with friends more than you played your PS1 with friends, and social memories are easily remembered.

>>381248168
How does this look on an emulator with high resolution and perspective correction?

>>381248612
isn't a better game one that's more fun?

PS1 had a T-rex. The N64 did not, thuis the PS1 is factually the superior choice.

Also: sony had demos like this which were fucking blind blowing at the time.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVQq6lYWII4

>>381248685
Its already at double the resolution,perspective correction is for underage fags.

PS1 transitioned well into PS2 and PS3

N64 was the end of an era

>>381248695
Better overall I mean, Nintendo focused more on gameplay than any other aspect

>spyro
He said GOOD GAMES

N64 was cool, because
- "Nintendo", well known already
- the amazing first party games. Both for both kids and adults. Super Mario 64 bundled, god damn.
- the fact that analog stick movement was mandatory for the games. Honestly a godsend for 3d games

The PS1 was cool because:
- the cd tray and audio quality
- a games market akin to the PC, aka. tons of games in all genres and for all ages (and in varying quality). Something for everyone

Sadly Sony went with what was basically a Snes controller with extra shoulder buttons for camera pivoting for a 3D game system. If Dualshock support had been mandatory, it would have been amazing

I dont know
N64 have like 5 games while ps1 is the paradise of jrpgs among others

>>381241845
PS1 has a lot of niche games like RPGs, fighting games and dogfighting games as its best titles while the n64s best titles are racing games and platformers

>>381249531
>n64s best titles are racing games
What the fuck, racing games on n64 were what, Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing?

Did the N64 have any creative japanese games?

>>381249737
i don't get your point

>>381249642
Not that guy but the Cruisin games, F Zero, and Extreme G to name a few others.

>>381249737
No thanks god

>>381245336
I do hear a lot of people reminisce about those, so perhaps OP is wrong.

>>381249868
That's still seems lacking compared to PS1 racing games tho

>>381249817
What he asking was, is there any weird ass shit game on N64 similar to Incredible Crisis, Pepsiman, LSD, Bishi Bashi, and countless others

>>381249642
Mickey Speedway, Wave Race, Cruisin, F-Zero, Excitebike 64, Beatle Adventure Racing, 1080 just to name ones that I like. All really stand out for one reason or another and are all good quality.

>>381250115
but people talk about n64 much much more
you don't see a fan boy of any other games besides FF7

>>381249737
The N64 had barely any game to begin with and was the beginning of Nintendo's downfall in the home console sector and third party support.
The only people who remember it fondly are american Nintendo cultists, everyone else including Japan acknowledge it was a failure, to the point that even japs have more affection and nostalgia for the Saturn, because at least that had games.

>>381249737
N64 had very small japanese support,i guess Bangai O was somewhat creative.

>>381241845
Quality over quantity.

>>381250251
You just keep stumbling across N64fags, it doesn't mean PS1 isn't popular

I think there's alot of nostalgia because GC/Wii/Wii U failed to follow up. Zelda got really shitty after MM, Banjo/Rare died, star fox died, Mario Party went to shit, Pokemon craze was slowing down, Mario Sunshine sucked, etc. The only thing that got better after n64 was F-Zero (which died on GC) and smash bros.

>>381241845
I have no idea what you are talking about. I had both too and the n64 sucked balls compared to the ps1 exept the constroller.

Syphon filter
Vigilante 8
Twisted metal
Tekken
Gran turismo
Need for speed
Tomb raider
Airblade
Spyro
Crash bandicoot
Soul reaver
Wipeout
Driver
FF


Those are the ones i can remember without thinking more than half a second. N64 ? Mario and golden eye machine.

Those who are more nostalgic about the n64 are retards who represent everything that is wrong with gaming :

You prefer the x pèse consle with only a few good games to the better console that had the second best library only second to the ps2.

Fuck off

>>381250387
the ps1 is popular a lot more acording to the sales
it just seems to have been forgotten

>>381242623
fpbp

The PlayStation, while still a brilliant game system, was the Chad machine.

N64 had milestone software like Mario 64, Goldeneye, OoT.

>>381241845
You have to remember that in the 90's couch multiplayer was the best, I remember going playing at one of my friends house and play Goldeneye, MK, DKR, Waverace, etc. So a lot of people like me will remember more the N64 since I can remember hanging out with my friends playing it. PS1 had multiplayer games but you needed an adapter to play with 4 people and even then the amount of 4-player games in N64 was great.

Additionally you had some groundbreaking games like OoT and Mario 64 which set standards for many games since then.

>>381250489
No, this place is just NA-heavy. And I'm not making a joke about obesity.

>>381241845
The nostalgiafags were children at the time, and the N64 was targeted at a younger demographic than the PS1.

>>381250551
>Chad machine.

Stop this retroactive branding shit using last-gen as standard and actually look at PS1's library. What PS1 had was VARIETY, if both quantity and quality compared to N64 unless you were really into collectathons.

>>381250469
>Airblade
>PSX
>padding out your list with PS2 games and multiplats

Not today

>>381241845

Had both. The N64 had 4 controller ports and better "party" games and in general multiplayer titles so it's fondly remembered for having out with your friends getting in fights over goldeneye or Mario party or smash bros. the PlayStation had a larger library with many more quality games, people literally remember the same 10 N64 games because those were the only ones worth a damn.

They're both great systems.

Not very many people remember the Saturn either but its still objectively better than the N64

In Europe there's an opposite situation, no one knows what the hell a N64 was.
Nintendo was always a synonymous of portable console here.

>>381250251
There are many fans and threads of spyro, silent evil, resident hill, sotn and metal gear (specially metal gear) around. Maybe n64 games get more? But it's not an overwhelming difference

>>381241845
I don't know about you, but from my experience everyone talked about the PS1 more.

It helped that PS1s had modchips and the games were cheap as hell

>>381250489
Not really. The reason why N64 classics are still talked about was because Zelda and Mario is still going and still getting good games after all these years. They're probably talking about games that still aged well, like OoT or Mario 64, and I doubt they're talking games like Goldeneye 007 other than nostalgia.

Also, most PS1 franchises are dead by now. The only thing that's still "alive" is GT and Sport seems to be DOA.

Also this >>381250657. It seems N64 was popular in America. We asians were more favorable towards PS1. I legit never saw N64 with my own eyes.

>>381250915
I owned that shit too. I remembered playing Daytona, Sega Rally, and Panzer Dragoon. Good times.

>>381250551
What is FF7 or MGS1? Did you forget how sheer fan willpower got Cloud into a smash bros game ~20 years later?

>>381251050
What helped PS1 was Sony not hovering over developers like Nintendo so third parties jump aboard. Which is weird when you consider some turds like Superman 64 that somehow got released for N64.

>>381250824
I literally remembered it wrong. Shit anon thanks for pointing out my mistake.

wat? Vaporwave is basically a big ass ps1 commercial

>>381251220
because n64 was the beginning of nintendo ending their practice of tight supervision over developers. I remember devs hated nintendo for that shit during snes era.

Compare this >>381239473 to this thread

>>381251220
I guess it was more about quality over quantity, but PS1 had so many good games and everyone just get nostalgic over the system. Like I remember some people still played Tekken 3 beachball minigame in 2008

>>381250980
im from europe and i can confirm,its just online that there are a lot of nintendunces

>>381251435
Makes me wonder how different things would be if Square didn't jump ship to Sony. The limitations of the N64 might've hurt them pretty badly in the long run rather than have the springboard into success with the PS1.

>>381244664
This. The more popular a console is, the more shovelware there is for it.

>>381241845
>why is the n64 the nostalgia boner of the two?if there is much more people that bought the ps1 why is the n64 more remembered?
n64 was for rich families, ps1 was for poor families
ps1 players are working their low income jobs and have no time to talk about videogames anymore
n64 players are in the lap of luxury, as usual, and can afford to spend time reminiscing

It might be because when you look back and say "wow I wish I could play that ps1 game again" you can just play it because everyone has atleast a ps2/3. Not so much with n64 though

>>381250551
You gotta remove those nostalgia goggles to fit your narrative, ps1 was the better console with every type of game you could imagine from shitty movie adaptation to sports and adventure and great games like ff7 or mgs, what did the n64 have mario zelda and goldeneye and that's fucking it so stop acting like you are some kind of subversive motherfucker because it sounds cooler to you

>>381252223
settle down there, tank controls

>>381252223
goldeneye is a shit game nowadays
a great game is one that still holds up to day
i.e.mario 64 and mgs

>>381252307
if you're defending the n64 the controls and by extend the controller isn't something you want to bring up

>>381248168
You posted this in that ZSNES thread a little while ago but never said what game it was.
Can you tell us what game it is?

>tfw I love all three 5th Gen consoles
>tfw I see posters in threads like this acting like it's 1999
I thought we were going to talk about the cool stuff each console had and promote some gems like Alundra for the PS1 or Goemon's Great Adventure for the N64.

>>381252307

I also played the Crash Trilogy but I thought it was a poor's man Mario and Rayman

N64 games aged better.

Nintendo's 1st party IPs are still alive, whereas many of those on the PS1 died.

>>381241845
N64 is better remembered by people who only owned an N64. I fondly remember Mario 64, OoT, Majora, Star Fox, Smash, Turok 2, Goldeneye, Pokemon Snap, and Beetle Adventure Racing. Nine games.
On PS1 I fondly remember Metal Gear Solid, FFVII, FFVIII, FFIX, Wipeout 3, Tekken 3, Gran Turismo, Gran Turismo 2, Silent Hill, Jet Moto 2, Syphon Filter, Syphon Filter 2, Crash 2, Crash 3, Twisted Metal 2, Dragon Quest VII, Grandia, Xenogears, Omega Boost, Armored Core, Tomb Raider 2, Soul Reaver, and on and on.
Now, I will say that out of all of the games I mentioned, the two best are on N64. Those being OoT and Mario 64. But I remember more PS1 games fondly than I do N64 games. Hell, I remember more Dreamcast games fondly than I do N64 games, and the Dreamcast only lasted like two years.

Because the PS2 had backwards compatibility so it wasn't that long ago that they played PS1 games.

>>381250915
>sega owns evangelion

>>381252743
Playstation 1 and 2 also had large amount of shovelware too. It's not really a hidden gem when the system sells large amounts of systems. Hidden Gem System would be something like the Saturn or Turbografx.

>>381253129
PS1 strong point wasn't the first party even though it was very solid.

>>381253129
>N64 games aged better.
no they didn't. the only N64 game I would still play today is Mario 64 and maybe Blast Corps

>>381241845
N64 was the best.

Spoiler alert: PS1 and N64 games have both aged horribly. Some more than others. But none of those games are even remotely comparable to today's standards. Even the best of the best for their time. I played through Mario 64 again a couple months ago and the age, especially in the controls, really shows. There's a lot of rough edges and sometimes things just don't want to work right. This generation was the first real go around in 3D so naturally they're not gonna age well. XBOX/PS2/GC however still have games that hold up very well today.

>>381245465
>Not knowing what kind of game you're gonna buy with your allowance money at that time is the pinnacle of retardation.

>>381255204
I'll give you something like Castlevania SOTN. But that's mainly because it was 2D and were able to focus on the core game instead of making a broken 3D mess like they did with the Castlevania games on 64.

>>381251435
To be fair in America the industry was fucked. Developers were releasing shit that basically didn't work at all just sell you a label a d a cartridge. While I don't blame Nintendo from going their route they could of been little less heavy handed.

Industry is almost repeating themselves with these console upgrades like Pro/Xbox X. Let's not forget of shit released like Mass effect Andromeda.

>>381241845

The N64 sold just about the same as the PS1 in NA, which a lot of people forget. Generally, where I'm from in NY anyways, the N64 was the console of choice nine times out of ten.

Shit has mario 64, zelda oot, and smash.

System is 100% unforgettable for anyone who had their mind blown the fuck out back then.

You can shit on Nintendo all you want, they are real fuckheads nowadays, but I dunno how anyone can be like "lol whys the 64 such a big deal like really xd i dont see it".

>>381249262
>Having taste this shit

>>381241845
The PS1 does have more popularity in Europe and Japan.

>>381241845
because you were a little kid when you had an n64, and the 64 was for kids, skewing your views as to what was popular.

>>381254560
Spyro

>>381256185
as someone who grew up with a ps1 and only played the n64 at friends houses
the n64 is kinda mediocre, there are maybe 10 great games on the console
while the console itself is strong technically, the cartridge limitations hurt it really bad
it's not like the ps1 which has heaps of classic games in every single genre (although the shooters are kinda lacking)

>>381241845
Brand Recognition

PS1 had a huge library of good games, but it didn't have the "faces" that nintendo had.

Nintendo lives and breathes by it's IPs. You can show anyone in the known world a picture of mario and they'll know who he is. Him, Link, Kirby, and most of the smash bros roster are all associated with nintendo, so the games have widespread recognition.

Playstation lacks those memorable faces. The closest they have are Cloud and Solid Snake, both of which are dead nowadays. That along with the vast library of games means people are less likely to think of a playstation game off the top of their head, even if they enjoyed it, and also that it's less likely whoever they're talking too will have played the same one.

64 had a small library of recognizable games
PS1 had a huge library of niche games

>>381241845
Says who OP? you?

>>381244256
>Jontron looks like DAT?!

All this talk of more quality games on the N64 is wrong. It's purely because of the nostalgia machine created by the American Cult of Nintendo that Europeans had avoided until the Wii. You don't ever hear American Youtubers talk about anything other than how Nintendos are gods and they're always on about Mario and Zelda

>>381241845

what a surprise, all the nigger tier countries love ass

99% of people I knew who owned a playstation had a chip in it to play pirated games and everyone had like 200 fucking games for it. Parents would always rent a game from blockbuster, burn it on a disc and then everyone traded games to burn their own copies of them. The people I knew who had a N64 all had the same 5 fucking games for it. Mario 64, smash, mario kart, ocarina of time and banjo kazooie. If their parents were dumbasses they had more N64 games and didn't just pirate the shit out of playstation games.

>why is the n64 more remembered

>why is the n64 the nostalgia boner of the two?

Nintendo had two home consoles (and one or two handhelds, forget when GBC came out) before it and already had people attached to its IPs. Also I think Nintendo just handled 3D gameplay better and that was the biggest leap for that generation.

>>381241845

Because Nintendo is a company built SOLELY around nostalgia.

When my rich aunt bought one of these in '96 along with Doom and Road Rash I initially thought this boot up sound was just part of Doom's music and dreaded it.

... Because Doom scared me.

Nintendo's grasp on 3D gaming peaked in the N64 era and declined greatly until the switch, which has the first real follow ups to Mario 64 and OoT.

Sony and everyone else got far better at 3D gaming, so there is no need for nostalgia since Sony fans have gotten to experience the pushing of the envelope every generation.

The PS1 sold to people who played PS1 games.
The N64 sold to parents of children who played N64 games.

The N64 is the millennial baby's first console.

ps: The Saturn easily surpasses the N64 as long as you account for all regions' libraries.

Most of what anons already said plus this:
Americans dominate online discussion about video games. The N64 didn't sell as much outside of Japan, the US, and Europe. PlayStation consoles sell better in the developing world where people are in this age still regularly using PS2s but don't have the luxury to discuss vidya online. Plus you'd have to know where to look to find those that do discuss, but not in English.

>>381267103
You are retarded,N64 was unexistant in Europe and very weak in Japan,the sales in the rest of the world barely mattered.

>>381266449

This. PSX owners generally feel nostalgia over their first kiss, or their first girlfriend, or their first pay packet, house or car.

N64 players remained stuck in feeling nostalgia over toys, and never progressed past that.

ps1 for normies

n64 for autists

autists look back on games more fondly than normies

>>381267103
this is very true along wth the fact that in developing contries at this time, one can get pirated copies of games for ps1 and 2. I had the n64 growing up which came from my relatives here in the US. I only had 2 games then mario 64 and cruisin in the usa. Its not that we cant afford the games, it was just very very expensive. I remmeber always oogling at pokemon stadium which costs an equivalent of around 100 usd back then. I didint get my first n64 game till we went to canada and played OoT in my cousins house and bought one for myself in a Blockbuster of all places

In the meantime, pirated ps1 games costs an equivalent of 1 for 1$ or 3 for 2$ when i was growing up

although I would always come back to mario64, because it was a very good game

/v/ are a bunch of delusional nintenfags, what do you expect? Most people that had N64s only owned like 5-10 games at most for it and that's all they played throughout the entire gen.

>>381264493
Well gee I guess this single anecdotal example completely contradicts my implication that what I said was 100% applicable to literally every single person on the planet.

>>381245336
and don't forget about

Strider
Chrono Cross
Xenogears
Suikoden
Parasite Eve
Alundra
Valkyrie Profile
Tenchu
Mega Man X
Medievil
Tomb Raider
Grandia
Legacy of Kain
Tekken

The PS1 was a terrific system which is why it sold over 100m while the N64 struggled to only sell 20.

>>381241845
Americans, the only place where N64 is nostalgic is America, the rest of the world never gave a flying fuck about the N64.

My first console was the playstation and I was always jealous of my cousin's N64 as he had better games/exclusives.

>>381268273
>>381267656
This 2.

People that had PS1 games have found memories of it but usually is not the same 5 games that other people with PS1 also remember. Meanwhile everyone that had a N64 will name Mario 64, OoT, Banjo, etc etc. The same applies to the Gamecube to a leaser extend since the Gamecube did have 3rd party support.

because nintenbros can't let go of the past :)

>>381244256
Delusional, ps1 only had shitty rpg's full of videos so retards felt that their more worth something.
N64 made you feel the whole experience with gameplay and pushing the concept of things back then. Not using retarded menu fights, not meme cinematic videos, not with edgy games liek twisted metal that aged like fucking crap.
The games were better and more timeless.

>>381244664
This.

>>381245465
How fucking underage are you? It wasn't easy to know back then.

>Yeah let's watch a gameplay on 1997 magazines or lets open some good ol 90's youtube to see some gameplay first!

Retard. Not knowing what you were about to play was one of the good things in retro vidya. You could get some big satisfaction from a random game.
Ps1 had more fucking licenced shovelware than any other console of that era and the graphics were a pixelated mess that didn't know if they wanted to be low poly or a 2d sprite.

>>381241845
Most posters online are from the anglosphere, where the N64 sold better than the PS1, so more people posting like and have nostalgia from it

Thats pretty much it, same goes with the 8 and 16 bit sega consoles, or the 8 bit PCs
Americans have a boner for the NES, british people were all over 8bit computers, so you will only see nostalgia towards those on boards and websites mostly populated by british people

Sega did WAY better on Japan and Latin America, so you see more nostalgia for them on Latin american and japanese circles.

Here is a good example that most posters here will hate
/v/ is mostly found of nintendo, while neogaf is more into playstation, its not uncommon to see /v/ shitting on something sony did, while neogaf praises it, at the same time, you can see neogaf shitting on nintendo at the same time most of /v/ praise the company

tl;dr its all about the community you interact with, if the majority holds an opinion together, that opinion will often be considered the norm, regardless if its true or not

>>381270006
N64 was full of licensed shovelware outside of the game that everybody brings up,like many people said N64 had very little third party support and virtually no japanese support outside of Konami and Treasure.
