I skipped the N64 for some reason, which completely escapes me. Went C64, NES, SNES, Playstation, Dreamcast, etc, etc. Anyway, my point is that other than Goldeneye and Zelda, I wasn't really aware of any standout N64 games. So I just googled it to see what's what. I was very, very wrong. Sign me up for one of these.
do these mini consoles output at high resolution or do they keep it at 240p like the originals
They use NERD developed emulators to scale up to HD resolutions. So far the NES/SNES Classic rely on a Allwinner R16 SoC system on a chip, with 4x Cortex A7 ARM cores, a Mali 400 MP2 GPU, and 256 MB DDR3.do these mini consoles output at high resolution or do they keep it at 240p like the originals
Same for me. Skipped the N64. But would definitely get an N64 miniI skipped the N64 for some reason, which completely escapes me.

How dare you. The N64 looks amazing. It looked so damn next-gen when it came out and it still looks nice now. Have the same opinion as me or else.The N64 was never a good-looking console, but those hideous controller ports and the tacky pull-out strip make this mini look worse than the original.
Whats the deal with Rare games? Can they be on there? We all know that even if that's the case Goldeneye can't be on there due to likely licensing issues.
The Switch was a pretty badly kept secret, tbh.I think it is fake, Nintendo is bar none the best company at keeping secrets until they drop it like a bomb.

Maybe. My memory is a bit foggy but the rumours started floating around the same time that Nvidia flat out cancelled the Shield Tablet 2. That wasn't a hype thing.True, but Nintendo was a bit desperate on that one and probably doing a hype machine type thing.

PS1 gonna beat the shit out of the N64 again.
What a time to still be alive.
What games would an N64 mini have?
It’d be interesting if Konami backed it with Castlevania and/or Goemon games, but that’s asking a lot.
My guess:
RARE games, like Banjo-Kazooie, Jet Force Gemini, Diddy Kong Racing, and maybe Donkey Kong 64, could make it if Nintendo pays Microsoft enough. GoldenEye won’t make it due to licensing red tape, and the same goes for WWF and WCW games. Perfect Dark, being M-rated, takes it out of contention.

N64 was really successful, and had a lot of good games, just cause you didn't like them doesn't mean others didn't. PS1 pretty much beat everyone though, Nintendo and Sega.Yeah that's real. It even has the cheap plastic look that the NES mini and SNES mini had. I still don't believe the N64 library is strong enough to justify a system like this. The NES and SNES worked just because of the sheer quantity of awesome games. If the N64 had had a library like that, it would have been a bigger success than it was.

That was even before N64, since Nintendo wanted all companies to have the Nintendo seal on their video games, and have control, it made a lot of 3rd party companies want to move to other consoles. N64 had some of the best games at the time, and people still talk about them, like mario 64, Both Zelda games, mario kart, golden eye, perfect dark are just a few games. In no way though was the N64 a failure, and still got games from capcom like RE2 and megaman legends, mischief makers, turok 2, doom 64, and Ogrebattle 64 also.Depends on how you define successful. The N64 cost Nintendo its position at the top of the console heap and basically shitcanned its relationship with 3rd party developers. Maybe it made money, but I wouldn't call it a success compared to the previous systems.
