Well-Hung Jury N64 vs. Playstation

[Jawneh]

There is Crash Team Racing. I wouldn't necessarily call it better than Mario Kart though. I always compared it to Diddy Kong Racing as those two are more similar to each other. And between those two I find CTR better.

Nothing on PS1 stands up to OoT, SM64, Mario Kart 64, Mario Party 2, and Goldeneye in their respective genres, or in terms of overall quality. So you have the top Action/Adventure, top 3D platformer, top Kart game, top party game, and top FPS of that gen all on N64.

FF7, Grand Turismo 2, Symphony of the Night and MGS easily do. (not to mention games like FFTactics, FFIX, Vagrant Story, Silent Hill,Twisted Metal and many more that are easily 9+'s out of 10s and stand outs in their genres)

While I prefer MK64, plenty of people love and claim Crash Team Racing was better.

I named most of these, though.

Sure, but if you get into 9/10s, then we get into Ogre Battle 64, Star Fox 64, Smash Bros, Bomberman 64, etc.. You dismiss these because of personal preferences, but it doesn't change the fact that these are objectively considered great games, even if subjective individual preferences differ.

I'm such a naughty judge, I think somebody needs to come impeach me

I started replying before reading second part and kept going

But then that kind of gets to my point that they both have quality, but the PS1 has quality and quantity of the quality at least in my opinion

I'm on the CTR > MK64 train, although that's as much because I believe that 64 is one of the more mediocre entries in the series.

Gran Turismo and GT2 are definitely big influences on my choice. Nothing on the 64 gets remotely close, and never could thanks to the cartridge space limitation.

MK64 is not as good as Diddy Kong racing. I'm off the opinion that people who think so are remembering double dash instead.

But I still personally think 64 is better than PlayStation, but that both are from a great era of gaming.

Considering I only owned a Playstation, all my friends had Playstation, and I think I played on an N64 like... Twice... Playstation has got to be my vote.

I think I preferred MK on the snes over MK64. I did have DD as well, but as good as it was, I kind of disliked the whole double gimmick. Solid game otherwise. MK64 was better tho.

As for CTR, I still say the comparison to Diddy Kong Racing is much better as both games did have boss stages and progression other than just cups to win. Plus both of them also had collectible things to get on top of time trial things for unlocks. So hey! Racing adventure games! Amazing. MK is just a very good arcade style racing game for both solo and multiplayer. DKR I barely ever played with friends and when I did it was just with one. Same with CTR, but I also didn't have a controller dongle, the crux of PS multiplayer games.

What am I rambling about though? I think I still rate MK64 over it simply since after 100%ing CTR, I never touched it again. MK I still at least played with friends and some rareish occasions I did a cup or two for fun of my own. CTR was just one and done.
