The Nintendo 64 (ニンテンドー６４, Nintendō Rokujūyon, NINTENDO64) was a video game console created by Nintendo. It was released in 1996 to compete with the Sega Saturn and PlayStation.
The Nintendo 64 was very popular for many reasons, one of the big ones being the release of Super Mario 64. Super Mario 64 was one of the first games of its kind to feature full 3D graphics and depth of field effects. The Nintendo 64 was able to pull this off because it was the first system to feature a 64-Bit processor and 32-bit graphics chip (aside from the failed Atari Jaguar, which was really 32-bit) The Nintendo 64 also featured the first successful analog control sticks, and four built-in controller ports. The Nintendo 64 was also noted as the last home console system to use cartridges, before Nintendo started using discs like its competitors.
The Nintendo 64 hosted a wide variety of games, but most of its hits were first-party titles such as Super Mario 64, Super Smash Bros., Mario Kart 64, Mario Party, Star Fox 64, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and F-Zero X. Rareware, however, developed quite a few hits for the N64, such as GoldenEye 007, Banjo-Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64. Production ended in 2002, the last game released for it being Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3.
