Nintendo does not much get much love on MyGaming, although we do admire and respect what the company has done.

Nintendo has produced classic games and consoles which have positively affected a lot gamers – like the Nintendo 64.

The N64 was one of the best video game console ever made, not only producing great 3D graphics, but hosting games like The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Super Mario 64, and GoldenEye 007.

Released in 1996, the N64 was the last home console from Nintendo that used ROM cartridges to store games. The console did not have much luck attracting third-party developers, and most of the better titles came from Nintendo’s first-party developers.

Although it was only on the market for seven years, Nintendo sold 32.93 million N64s – not too shabby.

When Ninty was "King" , and the they go on to reference the N64? lol
Nintendo "problems" started with that very console. Just the fact that they chose they cartridge route instead of CD based content drove most 3rd parties away.
First party games were awesome, yes, but too few and far between over the systems lifespan.
Throw in to the mix the most abominable controller known to man.
They certainly weren't fighting for 1st spot back then. The PS1 had that sewn up almost from the start.
