N64 goes portable with Nintendo Sixtyfree Lite-R

We'll probably see N64 emulated in the openPandora next year. I belive in 3-4 months from launch we'll see some real portable N64 goodness.

Im sorry but that would be ridiculous to pay a couple hundred dollars for a portable N64. I mean, the N64 was an amazing console, but with the portable one you would have no multiplayer, plus the DS is better than a portable N64 IMO

If the DS has multiplayer, what makes you think that a wireless, portable N64 wouldn't?

Anyway, contributing to the discussion on console advancement:

As far as I can tell the jumps in portable console tech is actually 2.5 steps behind that of static console tech. The Gameboy Advance was close to the SNES, and even included a few of the SNES games, but it was also slightly more limited in scope. A step back, and the Gameboy Color was close to, but not quite, NES quality. A step forward, and the DS is somewhere between SNES and N64. So, the next logical step forward would be between the N64 and GameCube in power.

Personally, that's the one I'd look forward to. With just that little bit of extra power, you'd be looking at an incremental improvement of the N64 games, such as Goldeneye with better textures and smoother graphics. It'd also be at about that point that the graphics would hit the sweet spot between the PS1 and PS2, and right around the Dreamcast in power. Meaning that older games for the PS2 and Dreamcast could be carried around (like a portable version of both Shenmue games pushed into one cart with all the promised-but-never-delivered carryover of items, and a bit of closure, perhaps, or the long-anticipated remakes of the first few 3D Final Fantasy and Phantasy Star games? Who knows?).

I think that's perfect dark.

I think that's Perfect Dark, but whatever.

That sure is Perfect Dark. I would love to have either on XBLA though.

I know its Perfect Dark. But I'd play GoldenEye :)

Perfect Dark for N64:
Greatest... FPS... evar.

Perfect Dark 0 for Xbox 360:
Biggest... disappointment... evar.

Big disappointment? Yes.
Biggest? Hardly.

This is definitely perfect dark zero.

It looks like portable gaming goes back 2 generations.
Old gameboys like the gameboy color and advance play games that were found on the snes.

I can't wait to play games like halo 3 and cod4 on a portable :)

Hey btw, can any1 check out my new blog

About 4 years ago (I think) the Media Play in our area had a 75% off bin. In it they had the PS1 screens. I don't think they were supposed to be in there. I bought all 5 of them. They were like $25 bucks each if I remember right. Gave one to the girlfriend's nephew as a birthday present and sold the others on eBay for $90 bucks a pop. Everybody wins.

Except that Media Play, they closed 2 years ago.

Easy, the Farsight.

My favorite is still the pinball grenades though

the best was definitely the N-bomb

umm moptimus, i dont take too kindly to that veiled kind of language.

Fan of the one hit kill on the crossbow here.

N-Bombs were the most fun weapon!! I can agree with that one! They made cool sounds and everyone dropped their weapons and you wouldn't be able to see anything so you would run around karate chopping. None of my friends liked them though haha

I liked the laptop gun, with the mounted sentry secondary fire mode.

We always used the Laptop gun. It was awesome too! Man, I'm really missing that game now

i like to play with only crossbows turned on, it's intense

Controls were so difficult back then. Everyone would just be moving around all crazy and you would miss you shot then have to reload. I always thought that was more a game of luck. Like a game with rockets only or something. It was still fun though!

I'm just going to go ahead and assume you'd enjoy this book one of my old roommates was just showing me the other night...

My gf actually just bought the lolcats book :(

lolcats FTW!

I made you a book, but I ated it

They're used in all kinds of mods. You can buy them on eBay for not too much money. I actually have one lying in my garage. But I don't mod things... not smrt enuf

No joke. The shoulder buttons are probably on a peripheral the plugs into your ass.

Someone should make a peripheral so we can do that.

It already can play N64 games...

Super Mario 64 DS is a good example of that. An almost direct port. The DS can easily manage N64 games with a little tweaking of control scheme.

Oh wait no, it's broken. It's using a C-stick not C buttons. So I guess it's not a perfect control system. Trying to play Starfox 64 on the Wii with an analogue C-stick? Oh it doesn't work.

they did, for the GBA

I'd prefer, instead of a 3D remake of ALttP, an all-new Four Swords game, with Wi-Fi Connection support. A vast, expansive adventure, much like FSA... but maybe even longer. As well as alternate modes (the battle mode was fun, as was Navi Trackers).

anybody else print out your Pokemon Snap pictures at your local blockbuster?
