My son still has his Pokemon set in box. I (his Mum) saved the box at the time, long before I became a reseller, purely because I liked the look of it. Very happy I did and so is he
Really nice video dude! Of course you are right that the N64 was the first mainstream successful console to come with an analogue stick as standard, with the Saturn and PlayStation both getting them, but not at launch. However, interestingly, the Atari 5200 launched in 1982 came with an analogue stick. It was really awful as it didn't self centre, and it is incredibly prone to breaking. The console failed & the 2600 continued to outsell it by many years. Still, technically the first system to launch with one. I still remember the torturous wait for the system and Mario 64 to launch. I desperately wanted the game after it being previewed in 95 & pre ordered the system, but the UK launch was delayed multiple times, keeping me waiting for 2 years! Once I got it though I loved it and I still replay Mario 64 at least once a year all the way through. Mario Kart 64 is also one of my favourites in the series. Lylat Wars is also absolutely stellar even to the day.
that controller left a lot to be desired, I think PS1 laid the right groundwork for controller, then dreamcast which everyone copies more or less, at least they were first to market with duel sticks and a pad that looked very similiar to the duke on the xbox original

How old are you man? I'm a 1991 N64 Aussie gamer here, I got the star wars episode 1 racer N64 system bundle in 1999 from Dick Smith Penrith.

Everyone raved on about Goldeneye, but The World is Not Enough was by far much better!
