Nintendo reached the pinnacle of quality construction with the NES controllers. Damned things were nigh immortal. Things made afterward never really compared to those bricks of genius. The N64 controller on the other hand, may well have been the bottom of controller quality. I still have nightmares about loose analog sticks.

That's horrific. Someone should at least lay a sheet over it to spare us all the distressing sight.

Bravo, Moffka.
PROTIP: Joystiq is a blog, not a news site. They can post about anything, as long as it has a sliver of resemblence to video games.

Oh, and this reminds me of the time my friend went out into his backyard and found a jacket hanging on his fencepost. Inside, the jacket had blood on it. There was a plastic bag hanging on the post inside the jacket with an SNES in it. Oh, and there was a gun in the jacket pocket. Yeah, he didn't live in the best part of town.
Now accepting possible backstories for this scenario.

Is this the same N64 from the "Sega Saturn vs. Pretendo" commercial?

Ouch! for some emo reason this made me really sad.
I had a lot of memories with the N64, and now seeing it like that brings a tear to my eye.It's like seeing my child (if I had one) growing up
successfully,developed a drug abuse problem because of enemy corporations, and ending up a a junkie lost forever...
All those hours of playing "Shadows of the Empire" are the proudest moments a father can have (if I was a father of course).
All those hours playing

Super Mario 64, Mario kart, Goldeneye64 and Perfect Dark are not on that list aswell...
.*. Not a complete list of the best n64 games. You should hang yourself for forgetting them

I never owned an N64, but did have an SNES, and it brings a tear to my eye. I never did that to my NES, ColecoVision or ADAM, or C64 or Amiga.

I find it hilarious that the "zoom-in box" in the lower left only magnifies it, oh, about 1.75x.

It probably requires the same arcane rituals and blood sacrifices to play Blaster Master as it did the day you left.

N64 = best system ever. I'm gonna kill that SOB when I catch him.
He or she could have just given it to me, I can always use a third 64...

N64 is the ghettoest console ever, the system most at home in a pawn shop window, so while I don't approve of disposing of perfectly good hardware, this photo seems somehow fitting for this system. I've never understood the rabid fanbase of this system (passions are probably amplified by feelings of being the underdog). Electing it the best system of all time on Filter on G4 was a farce, when there are so many more deserving systems with fans of more refined taste. Not that I hate the N64 or anything, there just aren't very many worthwhile games for it, and the popular ones aren't as great as people act like they are. Not enough to make up for the low number of games.

Well, I for one preferred the N64 to PS(u)X any day. Goldeneye, Super Mario 64, Turok the Dinosaur Hunter, Shadows of the Empire and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time were better games than any of the Playstation 1 games, except maybe Final Fantasy 7.
The PSX was the most overrated system EVER. Tomb Raider 1, 2 and 3?! Those games played like a$$. Resident Evil?! The crappiest camera angles and play mechanics ever in a game. And Crash Bandicoot was a poor man's Sonic.
