The rules are simple: The best of N64 vs the best of PS1. Each battle will have one victor, the winner survives and fights again until they are eliminated. Should be a good match up. Vote for whichever game you like best.

New Rule: If a combatant wins 5 rounds, it will take a 5 round rest.

Misfit Opinion: Pokemon snap was fun, but ultimately a very short and lazy game. I think only 69ish of the original 151 were in the game and there was like 6 maps.

Lazy? wtf? While I wish there had been more courses, I can understand why they couldn't do more at the time. And, generally speaking, on-rail games usually tend to be on the shorter side.

You usually didn't 100% it on the first go. Most of the time, it took multiple tries. And you still had to figure out how to get each one. Even then, it could be hard to get them all. And you always want to have the best picture. So, you make in sound like you would easily 100% the game in like half an hour. But it could take way longer. Especially if you were a kid at the...

Well, it's one of the top 3 consoles of all time vs. the worst home console Nintendo's ever made (my opinion), so it really should be a blow out

It's probably one of my favorite console. In the he top 5, for sure. Maybe the top 3. I loved the N64. Played the games every year.

Also, is the first playstation really in the top 3. I could see PS2 there, but not the first one...

Depends on your game tastes. As someone who really likes RPGs and doesn't really like platformers I can name like 5 games for the 64 off the top of my head that I liked. I played the PS constantly while the 64 rarely got played outside of golden eye and conkers when friends came over.

Genuinely speaking in my book a contest of 64 vs the ps is a contest between the two zelda games and a much larger number of great jrpgs.

Anyways on the question at hand I liked pokemon snap and respect it because it was a new concept but it was fairly limited in scope and while I played it a few times while I rented it didn't quite give enough content for the price.

My top 3 are SNES, PS2, and PS1

Seems like they're the most consistently top-rated consoles whenever there's some sort of "best consoles" list, too.

The main-game Pokemon are just sprites, which don't require much time or effort to render in-game. Snap's are fully-rendered models with complex animations. Even Stadium's models were far simpler.

As for the levels and level length, again, that's typical for the on-rails genre. The games tend to be short, especially since they're using more developed assets in a more dynamic way rather than just reusing the same assets. Plus the courses are *designed* for replay, with alternate routes and hidden features. iirc, you'd have to replay the courses at least a few times to unlock other courses.

Pretty sure you left it open until DQ7 won. That's some serious cheating!

You're bonkers if you didn't think I wanted snap to win. I closed it as soon as it hit 24 hours

At one point, DQ was ahead by more than the final margin.

Still, amazing comeback, it was down a lot like half a day ago. Does that make 5 wins for DQ now?

I believe so. The other match doesn't have either game.
