In a "who has less games" fight, who wins?

And I mean games worth playing. Like they've got some all time classic but holy shit would you struggle to name 10 games on each system worth your time.

I'm Irish, which some might classify as non-white (fuck you Americans you've got no place to talk shit) but English is very much my first language. I'm just drunk and typing a bit verbosely. I grew up on nothing BUT Nintendo actually, to be honest. But later on in life I suppose you could call me a PlayStation fanboy. I like both still, I just associate Nintendo with my youth and PlayStation with my """"adulthood"""" even though I only really engage with PS1/PS2 games and mostly ignore any game, Nintendo or Sony or anyone else, made after like 2006 these days.

GC has actual third party support and representation in genres that are completely absent on the N64. N64 might be the most overrated system ever thanks to mariosexuals and zeldasexuals. You can get a GC and not feel like you're missing out bigly in terms of having a varied catalog, even if inferior to the PS2 but no shame in that. With the N64 you have to gaslight yourself or admit you hate video games that aren't your favorite 3 games.

>>12688167
Several jarpigs on the GC, as well as fighting games (including SC2 which may be the best fighter in the gen), Ikaruga (yes, it's not much but it's still a classic and more than the N64 offered). Rail shooters were on the decline during the 6th gen and you still had Killer 7 anyway.

with the GameCube you're getting three good Resident Evil games, the Metal Gear Solid remake, Eternal Darkness, Animal Crossing, Luigi's Mansion,Rogue Squadron 2 & 3 and the best Smash Bros game. There 10 right there I liked on the GameCube. I definitely prefer it over the N64 anyway.
>>
>>12688197
>three good Resident Evil games

Only RE4 is good

>the Metal Gear Solid remake

One of the worst remake ever made

>Animal Crossing

Literally a port of a N64 game
>>
>>12688197
The Gamecube was a good system and completely underrated. You also get the Metroid Prime games, 2 Zelda games and a decent amount of Multiplats.
>>

>I’m Irish

Thread discarded.

The N64 had more games that shifted how they make games, but aren't worth going back to. Banjo Kazooie and Mario 64 and all those did a lot for how game were made, but there's a reason that 3D collectathons aren't a genre anymore. Look at YookaLaylee or whatever it was. It flopped because people realized that 3D platforming collecting games just don't hold up.

The n64 did have one of the best game ever made, though, Ogre Battle 64.

Gamecube has more games that you can go back to, but didn't shape stuff as much. Evolution Worlds (technically a dreamcast port of two games glued together), Gale of Darkness, Pikmin, there's plenty of good stuff. The Gamecube had the problem of having a bunch of cult classics that people just didn't know about.
>>
I was going to make a lengthy post comparing the two libraries and trying to objectively rate them, but then I remembered Gamecube has Metroid Prime and Resident Evil 4. Gamecube library was better, hands down.
>>
>>12687910
a solid third of the best games from N64 are just bad albeit usually technically impressive ports of games from other systems
pod racer and rogue squadron come to mind
by contrast, GC had a lot more games that you could ONLY play there.

i'll never understand why people think majoras mask is so good. Game is just constant fucking back tracking and remembering shit. I never beat it because of that, honestly just pissed me off that you had to start over from the beginning so many times and then because you have something that unlocks a different path you gotta go there instead. The worst fucking Zelda game ever fucking made, if I had to choose which game to never exist in the Zelda franchise between majoras mask and breath of the wild being the 2 worst games, i'd always choose majoras mask.

The Gamecube has a lot more games that are worth playing.

It's kino but I would never replay it. I'd say Majora is like anal sex: it's a pain in the arse but you learn to like it. Likewise, playing Majora without a guide is a lot like unprotected anal sex.

yea and for that reason it just shouldn't exist.

Multiplat

Almost all the best games on N64 are exclusive
>>
>>12689727
Most of them are available on subsequent consoles too.

Yeah, and the best N64 games are so good that nobody but Evangelical parents bought their kids the console because televangelists told them the PlayStation is satanic.

>>12688167

Pokemon Colosseum/XD, Baten Kaitos/Baten Kaitos Origins, Tales of Symphonia, Skies of Arcadia, Fire Emblem Path of Radiance
>Fighting Games
CVS2 EO, Soul Calibur II, Bloody Roar Primal Fury, Naruto Clash of Ninja/Gekitou Ninja Taisen series

Admittedly the Gamecube had far less options than the PS2 but it's not like the N64 where entire genres were just absent from the system.

It was announced as a multiplat before it even released on GameCube, and it released on PS2 in the same year as GC.

1. It's a good game which the N64 didn't have

The Apple II has more games worth playing than the N64.

>>12687940
They're all better on the original xbox so it cancels it all out.
>>
>>12690253
The gamecube multiplats are pointless when the original Xbox has all the superior versions. The n64 does have a substantial amount of multiplats that are better on 64. Or at least do certain things better or have some type of exclusive content which justifies playing that version.
>>
>>12690296
RE4 didn't even release on the original Xbox, there's a good number of GC/PS2 multiplats with no Xbox version and for those games the Gamecube is generally the superior experience.

I disagree because you weren’t missing out on as many multiplats on GameCube compared to the N64 if it was your only console. GameCube undeniably had much better third party support.

They can't even make a thumbnail image without including OoT. Zeldasexuals is the perfect way to describe the 64. It's like annoying Halo 1 players using the OG Xbox as their Halo machine.

Deluxe sucks shit. Lazy outsourced port not by the original developers that haphazardly throws the puzzle oriented levels from 2 alongside the straightforward arcade style levels of 1. Also the controls are worse and it even runs at 30FPS with compressed to hell sound effects on PS2, just vile.
>>
>>12688012
came here to say this

"Multiplats don't count!" was always a weird n64snoy and switchsnoy cope. They're video games you can buy, enjoy, and reduce your need of purchasing other systems. I never got this argument, like how the fuck are having multiplats a negative lol.
>>
>>12690510
It needs to be exclusey. Only the most exclusey wusey games count. If it gets ported it's not a game anymore.
>>
Just because the PS1 had 10 billion boring jarpigs doesn't mean it had a good library
>>
>>12690528
Good thing it also has 10 billion platformers, racers, fighters, shooters (including shmups), adventure games, sports games, experimental games, arcades, rhythm games, point-and-click adventures, puzzle games, strategy games, it even has CRPGs (does the Nogames64 have any?)

>>12687910
I had an N64 but didn't get a GC until much later, so I had no nostalgia for it. GC had more games. N64 is basically SM64 and OoT, and the rest have aged like dog shit. Meanwhile you can still go searching through the GC library and find hidden gems like Chibi-Robo that feel fresh playing blind today.
>>
>>12690510
>"Multiplats don't count!"

I didn't say it didn't count just that it has less value than a full exclusive

Coefficient :

Full exclusive :1
Arcade/PC exclusive port : 0,8
Multiplat :0,7
Multiplat significantly inferior to competitors versions : 0,5
>>
N64 had more games worth playing than the Gamecube. A lot of the games worth playing on the Gamecube ended up with ports to other systems or were multiplat with the Gamecube version as the worst version.

>>
>>12690364
It was in no small way, the N64's fault. N64 coasted on Nintendo's strong branding while failing to actually deliver beyond the handful of good exclusives. PSX was the console with all the games and everyone knew it. So when PS2 came out building on the PS1's success, taking a similar approach but with actual functioning 3d game engines, Nintendo was fucked. They had become the kiddie toy brand, not the mainstream dominant brand. The GameCube tried to be a generic mainstream console and just couldn't compete at that point, even with a better library than the N64 as a whole.

So Nintendo pivoted to the gimmick, kid/family market and hung on until the rest of the industry got so bloated and greedy they forgot what fun was.

You can look it up. They announced it would come to PS2 in October of 2004. Everyone knew it was not exclusive before it ever came out.

This is the same argument that I go through with Saturn fans. In a Saturn thread they post multiplats, of which 99.8 of than are superior on PS1. I own a PS2 so why should I deliberately play inferior versions of games? And if you're hardcore enough to own a Saturn there's no way in hell you don't own a PS1 or PS2. Saturn fans get fucking livid when I point this out.

Because this is the retro board and that should be taken into account when discussing this kind of topic. Things need to be viewed in proper context.
>>
>>12691534
But we like retro games, we talk about retro games the point of ops question should be how we think of these games today to see which is better.

It was supposed to be, but they realized the PS2 install base was too good to pass up.
Pretty shocking how flagrant they were to announce it before the game even launched, though.
>>
>>12691570
Embarrassing that the PS2 version barely outsold the GameCube original. Just goes to show that the games wouldn’t have sold much better that gen if they were Sony exclusives.
>>
>>12691581
And you've also gotta factor in plenty of people buying a second copy for the PS2 just to play Separate Ways. Worked for Capcom, though, since they more than doubled their sales of RE4 that gen.

Tons of GC multiplats were gimped due to the controller's lack of buttons. Just because it's good for Smash doesn't mean it was good for everything else

Gamecube has the better third party games but only worth playing if you are a kid. Pretty much it's entire third party library is just like nickelodeon games and whatnot. Even then its incredible that it even had third party games at all compared to the N64.
