Nintendo 64
The Nintendo 64 (N64), released in 1996, revolutionized gaming by bringing true 3D experiences to home consoles. Its powerful 64-bit MIPS processor and unique three-pronged controller with analog stick changed how players interacted with virtual worlds. Super Mario 64 redefined platforming with unprecedented freedom of movement in 3D space, while The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time set new standards for action-adventure gaming with its Z-targeting combat system and expansive world. The N64 pioneered local multiplayer gaming—GoldenEye 007 established the console FPS genre, and Mario Kart 64 became the definitive party game. Four controller ports enabled unforgettable multiplayer sessions in games like Super Smash Bros., Mario Party, and Perfect Dark. Despite using cartridges while competitors moved to CD-ROMs, the N64's instant load times and reliable media gave it distinct advantages. With classics like Star Fox 64, Paper Mario, and Banjo-Kazooie, the N64 sold over 32 million units and defined an era of gaming.
