The N64 system looks very sleek
and stylish yet it is very sturdy and will work long after you drop it from the
top of your house. It's about the same width of a NES and about an inch smaller
in length, it's half the size in height but don't forget you're going to have to
stick a cart in the top of it unlike the standard NES. The Nintendo 64 logo is
very nicely branded on the front of the system along with the power LED, on the
top of the system are the power switch and reset button which surround the
expansion port used to hold the N64 expansion pack.
The greatest thing about the
Nintendo 64 was the 4 controller ports, no system had more than 2 controller
ports as standard before and the N64 was without a doubt the multiplayer
console.
Nintendo's choice to go with
carts with the N64 was extremely controversial but only mostly with developers,
for me they're durable, easy to store and they have no load times.
