OP
Just discovered the switch is about to outsell one of my favorite consoles in the Nintendo line. If This is gonna happen Nintendo should at least start making virtual console games like super Mario 64 or even finish that super Mario 128 that never came to the GameCube. The
N64 Has sold 32.97Million units in its entire life, while the Switch has sold 32.25Million units in less than 3 years!

Your logic is... questionable at best lol

There were fewer gamers back then and the 64 sold well enough back then, but was still steamrolled by the PS1. So ~33mil isnt all that many units in the grand scheme of things. Mario 128 was nothing more than a tech demo and never produced, unless you want to count Mario Galaxy which in that case we already got what became of Mario 128. And Just because a console is going to outsell one of its predecessors... doesn't track. Now don't get me wrong, I would love to see N64 VC, but Nintendo is being quite coy about its older games nowadays.

I get your point about the N64 but i am old enough to remember when a console was hailed a great success if it sold over a million units lol so 33 million is no insignificant number.

i THINK SWITCH will never able to reach wii's numbers.
I also think that since the switch is almost $300 when the Wii at its time was only 250, and most of the people that bought the Wii played with their families

Eh, it makes perfect sense. It's an impressive number for a system that many people doubted..

    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
