Thread 11927425

The top 3 supporters of the Nintendo 64.

Nintendo didn't deserve Konami for the way they acted to them during the NES period

rare didn't make any good games until the gamecube, they did nothing to help the n64.

Konami didn't make anything good on N64

>>11927425 (OP)
Pretty sure Acclaim published more N64 games than Rare or Konami

>>11927425 (OP)
sega of america did more to support the n64 than any of these clowns

>>11927425 (OP)
Konami being there doesn't feel right, seems their best games were on Playstation.

>>11927486
just because you can't accept the truth that starfox adventure was the only good rare game doesn't make my post bait.

>>11927453
Ignoring that quantity isn't everything, Konami released over 20 games on N64 if you include their Jap-only stuff.

Acclaim moreso than Konami

>>11927451
Contra 64

>>11927493
better luck next thread. maybe try bait that someone will believe is a serious opinion that someone actually holds

>Konami
Meh, they released decent stuff, but the best games where for the psx

>>11927528
it's the only good rare game, and the only good starfox game. people are just brainwashed by braindead collectathons.

>>11927540
>not Blast Corps

Hudson supported the N64 a lot. More in Jaoan, but still.

>>11927437
>Nintendo didn't deserve Konami for the way they acted to them during the NES period
The way Nintendo treated any third-party publisher really
Namco tried leaving them when the PC Engine came out but in the end Nintendo was just too popular so they still ended up making several SNES games
They rightly left Nintendo for Sony when the PS1 came out though

Did you know Hiroshi Yamauchi wasn't actually a human being? He was a vessel that enclosed 7 yakuza oni spirits from 7 different regions in Japan. These oni monopolized the gambling in Japan with the hanafuda Nintendo cards and put a spell so that no other company could produce cards, truly evil.

Yamauchi, often referred to as "大魔王 ティラノ天堂" (Great Evil King Tyranotendo), tyranized the video games market with his monopolic practises, it is said that the Master System or the PC Engine didn't actually ever exist, and that they were invented time after so hide the fact that the Famicom was actually the one and only console existing in Japan.

acclaim

>>11927474
They were
Lucasarts is unironically more important to the N64 than Konami

>>11927474
Goemon's Great Adventure is a top tier sidescroller. Probably the best of the 5th gen era.

I love Konami's games on the N64 but I feel Acclaim, Midway, Lucasarts or even THQ/AKI games were more popular for the system.

>>11927425 (OP)
Take off konami and put on midway

>>11927425 (OP)
So which ones are Power, Wisdom and Valor?

People say the N64 had bad third party support but I think it was actually decent considering what a hit the PlayStation was.

>>11928923
>Decent support

N64: 388 games
PS1: 4221 games

Yeah that's what i call a great third party support

>>11927425 (OP)
you missed psygnosis who wrote the software development kit

>>11928974
By that logic the ps1 is garbage compared to current systems that have over 10k titles for it.
Also note that decent is not the same as great, but you already know that and just felt like shitposting instead.

>>11928974
cartidges are shit becaise they are smal and expensive bad for the buyer but nice for nintendo

you're an arsehole m8 tendie archetype on full display

Let's aggressively make a point of not calling that "quality standards" lmao

>>11927425 (OP)
What did Konami even do for the N64? It should be Hudson in their place.

what's wrong with you did you get sperm on your switch 2 or something or did nintendo brick it because MarioAI decided you're a pedo?

No.

Replace Konami with Acclaim. Konami made some cool N64 games but PSX was clearly their priority during that generation.

Acclaim may have produced a lot of slop but they made some honest-to-God kino with N64 as the lead platform like Turok and Shadowman.

>>11927564
And then Namco was on the verge of bankruptcy during their ps1-2 days and after many failed attempts at a merger they finally got saved by bandai. Sony years that good to Namco in the long run.

Third parties under Sony were worse ofd than third parties under Nintendo. Prove me wrong.

>>11928974
most of that 4221 is shovelware though

these threads are so gay

>>11930119
Enough about ur life anon

Nintendo and Rare are the obvious 1 and 2. Nintendo still published the most games, and Rare has some of the biggest overall sellers. Other contenders for number three spot are HAL, Hudson Soft, Acclaim, THQ (really), MIDWAY, and perhaps Factor 5. Konami still did release some norte worthy games on the N64 like the Goemon titles, ISS games, two Castleviania games... but it can;t be denied that they were even bigger on the Playstation with Metal Gear Solid, Silent Hill, Dance Dance Revolution, the Soccer games, Castlevania SOTN, Pop 'N Music, Suikoden... Konami was generally on fire for that whole generation on all platforms, really. But the Playstation was their main focal point.

Who would have worked on metroid 64?

Also I'm not sure if this was a dumb move or not for Nintendo to continue supporting super famicom/snes during most of n64's life. At least make n64 backwards compatible and that would fix a lot of the issues regarding library and lack of 2D titles.

>>11930139
>Who would have worked on metroid 64?

Top outsourcing choices:
- Factor 5
- Angel Studios
- HAL Laboratories
- Nintendo Software Technology
- Eurocom (if Nintendo was really desperate)

>>11927568
I would ague that sometimes monopolistic practices can be good or needed to declare the right vision for an industry.

>>11927514
>Acclaim moreso than Konami

THQ had more top sellers than Acclaim did, most notably with the WCW and WWF wrestling games. Acclaims best sellers were Turok and Turok 2.

>>11928990
no they aren't faggot. Cartridges don't have to worry about read/write speeds. You have to install PS5 games from disc today, but with a switch cartridge you just have to insert and then you can play. (so long it's not some shitty third-party that's a keycard instead.)

>>11930051
Forgot pic related on this list.

>>11930132
I mean Anon, half their PS1 stuff are ports and the other half actually sucks aside from stuff like maybe Suikoden (1), Vandal Hearts (1) or Gungage, and N64 also got soccer games from them. They simply allotted diferent studios to different platforms.

>>11927425 (OP)
Honestly, a wasted effort.

>>11930148
Top two mistakes (that I wish I could change anyway) an ending to the Zelda trilogy on the 64 and Metroid 64, I feel like that would’ve gotten me into the series and gone back and played Metroid and super Metroid (and the gb one). Oh well what could’ve been.

>>11930148
Also who would’ve done it better:
Factor 5 or Hal

>>11930184
>Factor 5 or Hal

I think on a technically level the Factor 5 game would have been much more impressive, and would have had killer audio with the Factor 5 sound engine (with Dolby surround and Chris Huelsbeck music and sound effects ). Hal would have had a more conservative approach to Metroid, and it probably would have been 2.5D platformers like the Kirby games.

>>11930184
>Factor 5 or Hal

I think on a technical level the Factor 5 game would have been much more impressive overall, and would have had killer audio with the Factor 5 sound engine (with Dolby surround and Chris Huelsbeck music and sound effects ). Hal would have had a more conservative approach to Metroid, and it probably would have been 2.5D platformers like the Kirby games.

>>11930203
In that case I think I’d have preferred factor 5, I want a full 3d one even w some classic fps drops. But both would’ve been cool.

>>11930208
>In that case I think I’d have preferred factor 5, I want a full 3d one even w some classic fps drops. But both would’ve been cool.

I think factor 5 would have made a completely 3rd person 3D Metroid game that could have played a bit like the Turrican games, given that they have worked on the Turrican series. It would have been a better game than Shadows of the Empire, given how much Factor 5 has learned from N64 development since that game. Given that Nintendo probably would have given Factor 5 a large budget to work with, Factor 5 probably would have even contracted Angel Studios for some game design assistance, and may layouts. Nintendo of America would have assigned Treehouse for QA. The MusyX audio driver would have been put to use. The game would have been like 64MB, and probably had voice acting in spots. The 4MB RAM PAK could have been put to use. But with HAL games... HAL did make Super Smash Bros. for the N64 which does feature Samus. Their game probably would have been a complete 2.5D that stuck close to the classic Metroid formula. Probably would have been on a 32MB cartridge.

>Honestly, a wasted effort.
Acclaim ported doom for the n64. Psynosis wrote the software development kit. OP just does not now his shit. He has the zeal of the cultist and nothng more.

>>11927447
>rare didn't make any good games until the gamecube, they did nothing to help the n64.
Winner, most retarded post in the thread. (you)

They made one of the best games for the n64 and there were only thre or four
doom64
goldeneye
Star wars racer
Rogue Squadron

>>11930378
But enough projecting, Anon-kun.

>>11930378
>Psynosis wrote the software development kit.
For the PS1 you fucking retard. Nintendo 64's software development kit was primarily created by SN Systems.

>>11930390
SN Systems also did the PSYQ PS1 Software development kit along with Cross Products; Psynosis asked them to make it for them.

>>11930378
>Acclaim ported doom for the n64.
*Midway

>>11927425 (OP)
Take away Goemon and Konami did fuckall for that overrated ass system.

A better choice would be Midway.

>>11930520
Apologise. https://youtu.be/I_sKfx9k5Ho

>>11930440
>*Midway

> Mortal Kombat Trilogy (launch window game)
> Wayne Gretzky 3D Hockey (launch window game)
> Crusin' USA (launch window game)
> NBA Hangtime (MIDWAY was fucked out of the NBA Jam name from Acclaim, but Hangtime is a sequel to NBA JAM)
> Doom 64
> War Gods (one of the first 3D fighters for the N64... a good game? ehhh..)
> Mace The Dark Ages (another 3D fighter)
> San Francisco Rush: Extreme Racing (sold really well)
> Mortal Kombat Mythologies: Sub-Zero (reviewed poorly, but sold well)
> Quake (decent enough port)
> Rampage World Tour
> Bio FREAKS (hmmm)
> Off Road Challenge (Port of the arcade game)
> Mortal Kombat 4
> NFL Blitz (quite popular on the N64)
> Rush 2: Extreme Racing USA
> California Speed (another game in the Crusin' series)
> Body Harvest (published the DMA designs game)
> Rampage 2: Universal Tour
> World Driver Championship
> Gauntlet Legends
> Hydro Thunder
> Cruis'n Exotica

That's not everything that Midway published for the N64. I didn't list the annual follow-ups to the Blitz series and the Ready 2 Rumble games (That were better on the Dreamcast), and the other random stuff they developed and/ or published. Midway was one of the biggest third party contributors to the N64 library. Acclaim and THQ were also in this tier group as well.

>>11927612
Exactly. MN64 was a 3d Zelda before OoT even came out. Goemon was at his prime on the 64.

Replace Konami with Treasure

>>11927425 (OP)
I don't think that's true? Midway had to have made more than Konami.

The real third pillar isn't Konami it's actually a surprise bro....

ACCLAIM!
