 The '''Nintendo 64''' is a video game console created by [[Nintendo]]. It was released in 1996 to compete with the [[wikipedia:Sega Saturn|Sega Saturn]] and [[wikipedia:PlayStation (console)|PlayStation]].
-The Nintendo 64 was popular for many reasons, one of the big ones being the release of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. ''Super Mario 64'' was one of the first games of its kind to feature full 3D graphics and depth of field effects. The Nintendo 64 was able to pull this off because it was the first system to feature a 64-bit processor and 32-bit graphics chip (aside from the failed Atari Jaguar, which was really multiple co-processors using 256 bit architecture on a 64-bit main processor). The Nintendo 64 also featured the first successful analog control stick implementation and four built-in controller ports. The Nintendo 64 is also noted as the last home console system to use cartridges, before Nintendo started using discs like its competitors and the canceled "SNES CD" add-on.

 The Nintendo 64 hosts a wide variety of games, but most of its hits are first-party titles such as ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'', ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', ''[[Mario Party]]'', ''[[Paper Mario]]'', ''[[lylatwiki:Star Fox 64|Star Fox 64]]'', ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]'', and ''[[f-zerowiki:F-Zero X|F-Zero X]]''. [[Rare, Ltd.|Rareware]], however, developed quite a few hits for the N64, such as ''GoldenEye 007'', ''Banjo-Kazooie'', and ''[[Donkey Kong 64]]''. Production ended in 2002. The Nintendo 64 sold 32.93 million units during its lifetime.
