N64: Super Nintendo
built 641 days ago
After the success of the Super Nintendo, the N64 was Nintendo's next game console. Still using the cardtridge system, the games had less good graphics then it's rival the playstation, and the games could not be copied. This lead to loss of Nintendo's market share.

The next Zelda, for the GameCube, was initially believed to be a development of the more realistically styled N64 games. But Nintendo surprised many fans with the revelation that the new game, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, would be fully cel-shaded – a more cartoon-like style of color design first seen in games such as Sega's Jet Set Radio. Initial fears that this would affect the quality of gameplay fans had grown accustomed to were eased when the game was released to critical acclaim in Japan in 2002 and elsewhere in 2003. It featured gameplay centered on control of the wind and sailing a small boat around a massive ocean-based world, and puzzles requiring the use of enemy weapons and sidekick-like secondary characters. The game ... featured a Second Quest that clarified some story elements, by enabling the player to read the Hylian conversation between some of the characters.

Publishers had to pass these higher expenses to the consumer and as a result, N64 games tended to sell for higher prices than PlayStation games did. While most PlayStation games rarely exceeded $50, N64 titles could reach $79.99.[17] Sony's line of PlayStation Greatest Hits retailed for $19.99 each vs. Nintendo's Player's Choice value line at $39.99 each. In the United Kingdom, prices around the time of introduction for N64 cartridges were £54.99, and PlayStation games at £44.99 for new titles.

Everything you said about the gamecube being more comparable to an N64 and that Nintendo said they were going to appeal to kids and not hardcore gamers is completely fictional. Stop making things up, idiot. The Cube even had a survival horror title as a launch title. You are truly stupid.
