All is Fair in Love and Console Wars: Sony and Nintendo

CD-ROM vs Cartridge. Two analog sticks vs one. 32-bit vs 64-bit. From the N64 to the original Xbox, Part 2 of All is Fair in Love and Console Wars discusses history in the early 3D era of video games and how it affected the industry's future.

I still own my Nintendo 64.

I had to give mine away as a child. Whenever I got my first job I used my first paycheck to buy another one!

I remember the Christmas where N64 or PlayStation 1 was the war waging in my brain for months leading up.

[Lazybones2020]

The N64 was my first gaming console! It was bundled with Super Smash Bros. That franchise is a fantastic entry point for anyone looking to enjoy videogames because of the wealth of characters and franchises represented. My PlayStation 1 was mainly a Capcom machine! It was given to me as a gift along with Mega Man X4 and Street Fighter Alpha 3. I eventually purchased Mega Man X6, which remains my favorite in the series. Lots of nostalgia for that game.

always wondered the difference between cartridge and cd

[Lazybones2020]

Its really interesting! Especially considering that the NX may be going back to cartridges as an alternative to keeping all games installed on a hard drive.

Oh Nintendo, if you'd only used discs for the Nintendo PlayStation...

[Lazybones2020]

It is pretty crazy to think about the kind of gaming world we would be living in if Nintendo did decide to collaborate with the Nintendo PlayStation!
