The Nintendo 64 debuts Sunday — and it has everything you’d ever want in a video game system.
First, N64’s graphics are fantastic. They don’t distort when you get close, and the colors are intense. Plus, the clear, loud sound complements the graphics. Also, the N64’s unique controller sets it apart from other systems. For most games, the “C” button allows a panoramic view of the 3-D world. The controller has three distinctive grips: The right position is ideal for racing and fighting games, the left makes action/adventure games fun, and the “Super Nes” position is great for side-scrolling and puzzle games.
The N64 will cost $200; plus, it’ll require new cartridges, which will cost $50 to $80.
