they're all terrible
n64
- cart based systems were going the way of the dinosaur
- nintendo had really restrictive guidelines for developers, and devkits were pretty expensive (it's still expensive to this day - like $3000)
- you still had to license your fucking IP to nintendo
- since nintendo was kind of a grumpy grandpa of a publisher, as a result you had all these throwaway IPs god forbid you saw any of them due to mediocre sales globally
- N64DD LMFAO
ps1
- it was at the front of the pack, so hardware was greatly limited in comparison to the magic nintendo and sega put out
- wow, affordable
- just kidding it's CD based. oh sweet CD quality soundtracks
- had really lax developer policies, so it was far easier to develop for
- devkits were less expensive. i mean shit, even net yaroze was a thing lmao. we didn't see that much hobby development until like way past the dreamcast's life
- however that means you had very little quality control so you were pushing out games left and right and everywhere
saturn
- what even is that i am from america and i've never heard of this thing
- oh it's by sega? that's cool i guess where's the sonic game
- oh there is none what the hell is this console. what is nights. do i play this in bed
- similar quality control issues to nintendo here since iirc everything had to be licensed to sega to function as quality control, but as a result it really worked out for it didn't it
- too bad it didn't do too well here in america. did the thing even sell in europe?
- oh it's because of the price tag? well ok i guess so
+ burning rangers
whining aside i'd say that PS1 probably had it the best of the 5th gen gaming consoles, since because of the lax policies and CD-based games it kept them fairly affordable and accessible everyone and their brother owned one. there was also a humongous fricken library so there was literally something for everyone
sure you could tell me that N64 was the best and the expansion pack was wonderful and good and nothing in the era looked more beautiful but stop right there. do you even KNOW how much money nintendo lost packaging DK64 with expansion packs? lmao
oh whats that? N64 DISK DRIVE??? talk about a SMASH HIT
as much as i love the nintendo game, i can't help but to think about just how...weird the n64 generation was for them. it was actually the first time they got ousted from a household name. it was painful. dark days. heck, even the gamecube was kinda the odd game out and to an extent, the wii (which enjoyed popularity mainly cos they marketed it to LITERALLY EVERYBODY, which was a great idea)
mario party. 3 of them
