Surprised many by releasing a cartridge-based system
when Sony and Sega were using CD based systems for greater storage.
Debut game Super Mario 64 set the standard for the 3D platform genre.

on the N64 including Zelda
and Goldeneye. Ultimately, it could not compete with playstation's mass
market appeal.
