1996: Nintendo releases the N64 console in Japan, along with Super Mario 64. The system goes to sell a little over 30 million units with this Mario launch title becoming the most successful software released for the console.
But it's actually a sad story, given that Sony's Playstation goes to sell almost triple the units than videogame veteran Nintendo. And it's a rough, transitional time for games in general as programmers learn the dos and don't of programming in 3D.
That's not to say the N64 didn't have some great titles that still bring tears to the eyes of grown gamers everywhere. So commenters, what were your favorite N64 moments?
