For me it would be the playstation classic for 2 reasons.

1. I never had a N64 before unfortunatly so i have no clue what to completely expect from it yet i do know the PS1 a bit.

2. Im sure that @DinohScene will get an N64 classic that i can steal

"totally for free"

so you can play old xbox games for free on the Xbox One?
It's misleading, yeah. I think they meant that you don't have to re-buy the classic games if you already have them, like you do for Nintendo and Sony. Maybe that's what @DinohScene meant by 31 games, but that's only the Game Pass number. Many more have been given away through the years of Games With Gold. All GWG 360 and Xbox games are comaptible with Xboner.

31 original xbox games can be played on Xbone.
GTA SA Xbox isn't compatible, the HD version is.

Hard choice.

Both look like arse today, though for slightly different reasons (the jaggies/blur on the N64, to say nothing of its framerate, but the colours were bright vs the muddy dull colours on the PS1 and polygon budget of about 7). In fantasy world if they juiced them as far as any emulator and texture mapping hack has got I would probably pick the PS1 but that is not going to happen for a cheap and cheerful nostalgia cash in.

I can't imagine Nintendo could get the best lineup going on (they are obviously going to be down Rare's efforts) and I can see Sony being able to call up far more people to say "how about it?". Going further the N64 does not have many games and while out and out classics might be thinner on the ground on the PS1 there is enough that they could put together something incredibly special through sheer quantity if nothing else where the N64 is good for a long weekend at best.

If I am continuing with the real world then N64 emulation is a pain in the arse and Nintendo don't do good emulators. PS1 emulation is far more of a solved issue and most of the time Sony's efforts produce better results.

Of course in all this I have a PC so why I would plump for some sub par commercial emulators when I can have all the nice graphics tweaks, ROM hacks, cheats, savestates, good controllers and all that. Similarly most that was any good on the N64 has been remade in better formats over the years.

I suppose to end I shall have to spin it again. Dreamcast mini? Frequently some of the best examples of PS1/N64 era multiplats and some hard to come by things of its own.

Nobody has got N64 emulation anywhere near what I'd call more than a novelty in nearly 20 years. Even the Wii VC games were subpar. The Zelda Anniversary or whatever it's called on GameCube had some major emulation problems IIRC, so not even Nintendo can get it right. Not going to be a N64 Classic in a while, if ever.

As much as I'd like to see a Saturn Classic, it pains me to realize that Saturn emulation is notoriously difficult, and that SEGA can barely produce a working Genesis/MD emulator anyhow. The Saturn had some good shnups and JRPGs on there, though, sadly, most of them got region locked to Japan.

Real talk, though, my PC can play all of these games already, so I'm just sticking with that. I just got into video games when the PS2 was relevant, so I don't really have much authentic nostalgia for most gamrs/systems older than that. I just play the games for the games.

if Nintendo which knows how the n64 works, dont do a good emulation machine when the time comes. Us humans are a lazy shits.

If they didn't do a good NES emulator when the time came for that, this despite anybody most likely being able to download full transistor schematics of the relevant chips and others knowing everything down to timing ranges in the wild, and people having accurate emulators for many years then I don't hold out any hope of that.

    You should update the 360 to newest dash before RGHing it yes. But not a big deal if you don't, you can install new dash/avatar updates after. It's just easier to do it auto online before, instead manual offline after.

    @BigOnYa I wanted to ask you about your experience with seeing south park. Most of the people a bit younger like my younger brother and cousins that are a few younger than me that saw kids found south park funny because of the curse words, kids at school, that seemed like liking the show on a very basic level.

    I could not quite have a in depth discussion of the show.

    How was it for you? As an adult. What did you find the most interesting part about it. Did you relate to the parents of the kids and their situations. Was it satires, the commentary on society. The references on celebrities' and pop culture.

    I remember seeing the very first episode back in the day, and have watched every episode since. I used to set my VCR to record them even, shows how long ago.

    @BigOnYa were you always up to date on the current events and issues of the time or were there issues that you first found out thru south park
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Most of the time yea I knew, I watch and read the news regularly, but sometimes the Hollywood BS stuff, like concerning actors slip by me. I don't follow most Hollywood BS (example: the Kardasians)

    @BigOnYa there were relevant issues before south park was made, that's why i think a south park prequel/spinoff would be great. Randy and his friends in their child hood

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, like them running in high school together, getting into stuff, and how they got hitched and had kids. And how the town of South Park was back then compared to now. That would be cool to see.
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    yeah
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @salazarcosplay if they made a prequel, it would still be about current issues, cause it doesn't make sense to make it about stuff that happened 30 years ago that nobody cares about anymore
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    it's too late
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    the older south park episodes about particular issues usually age poorly since the topic is no longer relevant

    an exception is giant douche vs turd sandwich, that's always relevant :P
