Left or Right?

Right if you're an adult, left if you're a manchild

>>725102796
>my children’s toy is more adult than yours
You are exactly who that CS Lewis quote was describing as an insecure manchild.

>>725102750 (OP)
right, and it's not even close
just borrow left from your friend for a week for OoT

>>725102750 (OP)
right, since it had good games and a usable controller

>>725102750 (OP)
Right just has such a bigger library it's insane. It's the reason it beat the N64 in that generation despite being a newcomer, nintendo's unwillingness to abandon their cash cow cartridges gave sony a massive edge because developing for the PS1 was so much more pleasant

>>725103024
I'll defend the N64 controller, yeah it's shit in hindsight but it made sense back then

>>725102962
You can believe what you want but it's obivous that the PS1 was designed with adults in mind vs the N64 with manchildren in mind.

Left if you want to actually play a video game now instead of waiting an hour for one to load.

>>725102750 (OP)
>back then
Right
>now
Left
No loading times for pause menus and failing disc reads are a blessing people take for granted

The only fifth generation console I had was my brother's old Sega Saturn. Virtua Fighter 2, Virtua Cop, Sonic Jam and Sega Rally Championship were decent fun. Was surprised to hear the Saturn performed so poorly on the market in retrospect.

>>725102750 (OP)
Both. My friends and I all owned both.

>>725103026
>because developing for the PS1 was so much more pleasant
Pfft, yeah right. It was because PS1 was pirateable as fuck, so people in the third world bought PS1s like cake.

>>725102750 (OP)
Right. God I made such a mistake as a kid when I picked the 64 over the PS

>>725102750 (OP)
13 games vs 900 games

>>725102750 (OP)
ps1 is the nortubel of consoles

>>725102962
When I was 19 I sent that quote to my Dad so he would stop making fun of me for going to see the Winnie the Pooh movie

>>725102962
>my children’s toy is more adult than yours
Everybody I know who was obsessed with the N64 turned into a complete social failure that makes the average /v/ goer look well rounded by comparison.

>>725103610
Meanwhile nobody was obsessed with playstations. The only reason these even come up is because the console wars are over and people who want to argue about it now need to go back in time and relitigate arguments as if they were there.

>>725103552
What the fuck is a nortubel?

>>725103790
anon's namedropping his random indie game in hopes people will google it and play it

>>725102750 (OP)
64 sucks big donkey cocks and only has like 5 games. ps1 has tons of games for every genre and the controller isnt retarded

>>725102750 (OP)
I don't know what I would play if I chose right.

>>725103718
I was. I also had way more games for it thanks to a little thing called a modchip and a CD-RW drive.

>>725104173
it's got at least 10

>>725102750 (OP)
right

>>725102750 (OP)
Love both but left if I had to choose.

Left did not appeal to the discerning racist so it had and has no interest to me.

My favourite games ever with OOT and MM but I liked more games on PS1. I basically really really loved OOT and MM but didnt really care about nay other N64 games. But PS1 had loads of games I liked. So I dunno.

BOTH, multiplats get PS1 priority though.

>>725103281
You have no clue what a nightmare cartridges were for devs

>>725102750 (OP)
Right.
>>725103024
>Spend most of the consoles lifespan trying to finagle 3D games with just a d-pad and no analog stick
>Finally add two analog sticks to one-up Nintendo
Let's not pretend that the Playstation started with the Dualshock.
>>725103062
It still makes sense. You don't really need more than one analog stick and you aren't going to be controlling a 2D game and a 3D game at the same time. The benefits of one analog stick are immediately apparent when controlling a character, but you're usually not controlling more than one character at a time, so unless you're controlling a vehicle with a throttle, it's useless.

>>725103718
Everyone I knew had a PS1, I didn't know anyone with an N64. The PlayStation dominated in Europe, it wasn't even close.

>>725103128
>PS1 was designed with adults
It explicitly was - sony targeted young adults as this was an untapped market having grown up on older machines they were gifted as children they now had jobs and disposable money but with the wider market still in the mindset from the 80's that video games are just for children sony went after this untapped group. Sony leveraged elements from its film and music divisions to market the psx as something cool and edgy and not for children, but for hip and happening people. There is a reason why games like wipeout were demoed at night clubs. You weren't selling games with ads like pic related to 10 year old timmy.

The huge wave of actual children focused games came later into the consoles lifespan when cost came down and parents were buying them for the same age group nintendo and sega had traditionally marketed towards.

>>725102750 (OP)
I had both as a kid.

>>725102750 (OP)
Anyone saying that they’d rather have a PS instead of an N64 never had friends to play golden eye, perfect dark, mario kart, battle tanx, and bomberman with.

N64 was peak childhood fun. Anyone who wasn’t a kid at the time missed out on the golden age of gaming.

>>725107208
n64 had more multiplayer games anon that's just a fact

>>725107208
>implying

You and I both know YouTubers are either old people who suck at games or zoomers who never got to experience it. Neither would have had fun with any N64 games and their janky fun.

>>725102962
>reddit quote

>>725107364
>fact
Don't use words you don't understand.

Right and it's not even a debate. Just the crash and megaman games alone kept me entretained for years and that's not getting into the various RPG's and shmups (thunder force 5 and einhander are the GOAT).
>>725107142
If you had friends, you'd hit the arcade for better games.

>>725107517
But PlayStation was abysmal for multiplayers. Pretty much everyone had tekken and twisted metal as the key multiplayer games, of which only twisted metal was innovative and fun.

>>725102750 (OP)
I love both, but you could realistically play N64's entire catalog in a month or two. You could play PS1 shit for at least a year.

>>725107701
>arcade

By that time most arcades, at least in the US, had been phased out. You pretty much had shit like chuckie cheese left. Also, not a single arcade game was ever as fun as perfect dark. That’s just asinine to suggest.

BEHEAD THOSE WHO INSULT NINTENDO

Given how much sony and its fanboys lie on the internet it is not surprising /v/ is pushing the revisionist history that the ps1 was the better console than the n64. At least /vr/ will call out blatant lies.

>>725107908
>Also, not a single arcade game was ever as fun as perfect dark.
The Metal Slug games mog the goofy out of Perfect Dark

>>725108150

Why are Tendies so retarded? The PS1 was a juggernaut.

What are your favorite 4-player party games on the PS1? If you can't list at least 10 non-sports titles I will consider your opinion invalid.

Name 10 N64 games worth playing and I'll double that with PS1.

>>725102750 (OP)
Right and it's not even close. Nintendo doesn't win a main console generation since the SNES.

And even then the Genesis library was almost as good.

>>725102750 (OP)
As much as I like some N64 games, I like playing JRPGs and PS1 blows N64 away in that area

>>725109563
ah the classic nintendo rebuttal

>>725102750 (OP)
Why not both?

>>725110079
What, you like videogames or something?
People want to argue on this board.

No lara croft on n64 = no faps and that is unacceptable.

Left and it's not even fucking close

Zelda + Banjo + Conker + Mario 64 + Goldeneye + Harvest Moon 64 + Smash Bros + Perfect Dark
vs.
Uh... Resident Evil 3, SOTN and FF7...?

The only thing I can say about the ps1 is that it had the best versions of some third party games. i.e. RE2, Tony Hawk 1/2, Harry Potter

>>725106172
Carts being nightmares is only half true. It's a fact that the extremely limited storage space and lack of asset streaming sucks in a big way, especially for audio/video which was obviously a big deal back then since FMV/CD quality audio was a big tech feature of that console gen. That said, streaming from CD in any other context is miserable, you have to be much more discerning with what gets loaded when, and manage your pittance of 2MB work RAM (PS1 and Saturn) very precisely. There's a reason arcade machines have a dedicated ROM header chip, being able to DMA transfer whatever you need on the fly is much easier than finnicky RAM management. On console this manifests as the long ass load times of course. Even with properly packed asset bundles in sequential order, CD seeking is an unavoidable bottleneck.

>>725102750 (OP)
Left has some true classics and was king of 4-player, but right had a much bigger library and plenty of classics too.
Can't go wrong with either

ARE YOU PRO SKUB OR ANTI-SKUB!?

>>725102750 (OP)
based on my decisions as a kid, Left.
I had both and still own the N64. I sold the Playstation. I cant think of a game I'd want to play on the playstation.
I could go back to play OoT, Majora's Mask, Bomberman 64, Super Mario 64, Super Smash Bros, F Zero X, Star Fox 64, Golden Eye

Spyro was okay

>>725102962
This one certainly touched a nerve

>>725110381
I jerked it to Jugga in Conker

>>725102750 (OP)
It's amazing that it was worth having both as they both had so many high quality exclusives. Those were the times.

Right.

I bought N64 first in summer 97, played Shadows of the Empire, then traded the system for PlayStation and never looked back

>>725103062
The only thing shit about the N64 controller was that the analog stick was very loose and didn't wear in good.
Add Mario Party gameplay making kids rapidly spin the stick at ADHD speeds really did damage to it (and your palms if you knew how to win)

Shape was fine.

Anyone want to talk about the Saturn?

Did the Japanese salaryman really play Shadow Tower on his PSX after work in the 90s?

Dogshit game, Mario Kart only became good the second double dash cane out. F-Zero was already a better racing game in its debut, Crash Team Racing is one of the best racing games ever made.

>>725112308

all shovelware in comparison to the best n64 games

hahaha good one cubie, no one gives a flying fuck about double shart. mk64 is still one of the most replayed games in the series

>>725112370
>mk64 is still one of the most replayed games in the series
Not Wii or 8 Deluxe AYY LOL if I want to play a good n64 game, F-Zero does it better and plays better.

>>725112369

I had both at one point or another.
N64 definitely had more of my childhood memories.
Zelda, Mario, perfect dark, etc.

I did enjoy the Spyro games, armored core and Chrono trigger however

It's a tough choice. I'll just head left as I always do when I have two paths to pick from.

>>725107765
I loved Resident Evil Survivor

Nintendo 64 can't compete with NES, let alone PSX.
It will take a long time for this distortion caused by nostalgia, autism, and brand recognition, which made the terrible N64 successful only in the US, to be corrected.
We will have to wait for all the autists to die of old age. Then wait for all their discourse on the Internet to be replaced by real information about games. And finally, in about 50 years, young people will play the best N64 games without any bias, and will put that console in the same category as the 3DO and other irrelevant pieces of shit.

>>725102962
The PS1 had actual pretentious games adults would enjoy like LSD dream simulator. It's probably the console that best encapsulates games as being art out of any system. There were so many weird and interesting games on it, despite there being no indie devs at the time the wide range of interesting low budget and artsy offerings was similar to indie titles. Things like Vib Ribbon as an example.

You can make a strong case for the PS1 being the best console of all time. The N64 isn't even close to being the best Nintendo consoles. It doesn't even beat the SNES.

>>725114685
No? I didn't own an N64 or a PS1.

>>725102750 (OP)
N64 has some great games but PS1 library mogs it so hard. I could play PS1 games exclusively for the rest of my life and never run out of good stuff to play.

>>725110636
I wasn't just talking about cartridges from the development perspective, they were way way more expensive too. Only nintendo made them and you had to buy them from them, they also had a minimum order amount iirc, and they charged you a ton for them and other fees on top. The CDs on the other hand you could print for way cheaper and from loads of different manufacturers.

Nigger.

>>725116565
Again, half true. Carts were way more expensive, but you couldn't just order CD's from any vendor. You had to go through one of Sony's plants for 2 reasons, Sony's bread and butter has always been royalties through licensing so they wouldn't miss out on an opportunity to pick up that revenue, and they had to stamp the copy protection grooves. Also, having to order a minimum amount of discs/carts/whatever is standard practice. I've heard that Nintendo made you order a ton of carts, which was only bad because 64 had a smaller install base.

>"Muhltiplaya!!" "Muh goldeneye''
PSX had good enough games for 2 players, chief among them being crash team racing, all the god damn fighting games (Tekken3 being the GOAT), the vehicle combat games like twisted metal, V8 and Rogue Trip. Even Fighting Force (bootleg streets of rage in 3d) was a cool fucking game for co-op.
Even sports games were fun at the time, madden still had soul back then.

I got the N64 first and then PS1 like a year later when I got more interested in JRPGs.

right. its kinda crazy how pretty much 90% of modern franchises started on the ps1

>>725117018
Retard

>>725102750 (OP)
Both since both consoles and Saturn had their own charm and great exclusives that made them all equally great

>>725102750 (OP)
Both

I still replay N64 games today: turok, banjo tooie, paper mario. The only psx I still play semi regularly are race games like wipeout. The jrpgs and the adventure games like lara croft aged like shit

>>725102750 (OP)
>four controls
>no shitty load times
>twice the graphic horsepower

you'd have to be a total subhuman to prefer the ps1 over the n64 which was better in every way possible

>>725102750 (OP)
Right at my home, left at my friend's home because I went over to my friend's houses more than they came over to mine, and Smash Bros+Mario Party were top tier multiplayer games.

Neither. PC can emulate both .

>>725114627
STFU brown poo skin

The 5 good games that piece of nintentranny trash has wouldnt even make it top the top 10 on the ps1

>>725117018
That's basically it.
My mom bought an N64 in late 1996, and in mid-1997, my brother and I only played our SNES because the N64 simply didn't have any games, and the games it did have were mostly pretty bad.
It wasn't until a family friend came back from Japan with a second PSX and gave us his first PSX that we finally stopped playing the SNES. Suddenly, our access to games increased tenfold, not only in quantity but also in quality.
It's insane that so many people in this hobby still insist that the N64 was anything more than a total failure. That console was so disappointing, it almost made my brother and me give up gaming when we were little kids, lol.
