I plugged a power adapter into a game boys headphone jack once. It's all wires in there, it probably will work, I thought.

I really hope we get a list of launch day VC games. I'm definitely getting BoTW but I want something to round out the first week. Some sick Gamecube games or some WiiU games that I never got to play because I never bit on that.

What kind of freaking weed do you have up your computer rear end kissing butt!? Don't you realize that the resoultion on Mario 64 is higher than your stupid computer can handle? Further more, the graphics were bi-linear-mip-mapped--which is something that can't be done on any PC -OR MAC- today. Don't you understand what the game will look like after the anti-allising kicks in and the graphics are tri-linearly-mip-mapped?

I'm sorry, but you obviously don't understand your technology. The N64 will be 10 times more powerful than the Pentium Pro's and it will be years before you'll see anything compairable on a PC -At a price someone can afford. By the way....I've never seen any PC graphics that surpass Mario 64--even at 50% progress.

Didn't Nintendo release a trailer like over a year ago, possibly 2, where the guy was using a smaller GamePad to play Mario Kart 8? Was that the Switch??

antialiasing don't mean much either if there are no games which use them.
Nintendo can fail.. look at the Virtual Boy. I'm not saying I won't be buying
the Nintendo 64 when it comes out - if it is a success I will probably buy it.

I don't think it is launch in NA mainly because preorders are not available for it anywhere. Wouldn't be surprised if they're waiting for Splatoon 2 to really put it out in NA.

Yes, but the average computer uses 640x480 with 256 colors. You can
set the amount but why? TVs on the other hand can have as much colors
as you want(not really but you can have so many it doesn't matter at
all). The N64 can display millions of colors and so I would expect
Mario 64 or any other N64 game to do so as well. Do you seriously
think all games for all systems use 256 colors only?

Uh, all of the N64 games use antialiasing. Other wise they'd look
like playstation games.

How can you assume the N64 will be a failure? Name recognizibility
and the fact that there are still millions of gamers that haven't
bought a 32-bit machine could prove you otherwise
