Available for your home in 1995 only on nintendo ultra 64

so ultra

They lied to us. The N64 ports came out much later than advertised! And they sucked major ass!

Ultra 64 hype was so fun

Gamers are the most prosecuted people in the history of civilization

they could have sold a lot more N64s if they had just put a metal plate inside it (just for the sake of making it heavier). weight = quality, for a lot of people, so the N64 would have been taken much more serious at a negligible cost

am i the only one that thinks the madcatzs ultra 64 controller is better than the OEM one?

Back then we called it the

Anyone know when Nintendo started the codename thing?

Unironically true to an extent. Dreamcast console and control were so light they felt cheap to me.

That's not....Nevermind, that actually still fits.

>>11887748
Apparently it was Shigesato Itoi, creator of Mother series, who suggested going for a more minimalistic approach and also to emphasize the 64-bit part of the name more.

Ultra probably came around in 1994? I remember around 1993 or early 1994 it was still Project Reality

yeah we all used ultra sixty four and psx when we talked about these consoles. I remember.

>>11887568 (OP)
30 years later I'm still FUCKING mad about the name change.

>>11890310
When it comes to IRL outloud speak, yeah "ultra" was used. But I don't remember people saying Pee Ess Ecks, it was always Playstation or The Play

Wow, so much copium.

And in the end the arcade hardware was nothing like the N64.

Because not having the word "Nintendo" in the name is fucking stupid.

>>11893363
they could have called it the ultra nintendo.
it's a perfect evolution of the naming scheme.
>nintendo entertainment system
>super nintendo entertainment system
>ultra nintendo entertainment system (64 optional, but i bet they really wanted to include that)
i suppose they asked "but what would we call the next nintendo system?"

Looks like you could use it to commit seppuku.

The Ultra 64 can produce mind-boggling effects

>>11893658
Howard Lincoln himself wasn't sure but I'm guessing that won't stop you from treating it like gospel yourself.

>>11890184
That's something only mature audiences will take account of. Their whole business model is having toy-like consoles with a bunch of Marios.

>The FCC tests all electronics products for RF emissions (that is why there is so much metal shielding inside U.S. gaming systems), and this process takes a few months. Japan does not have similar emission testing and that is why it can come to market over there so soon.
What in the goddamn?
