    Doesn't McDonalds locations still have Nintendo 64s in them? I swear it feels like it was just a few years ago that I took my step son into a McDonalds and he was playing one.

    Yes I agree. Without the Rare titles it's hard for me to see how it could really be a N64.

    I'm hoping GameCube games will be offered via VC on Switch instead.

    Yeah. I liked it but it was probably the least conventional "conventional" controller ever made. Tons of people seemed to not understand the best way to hold it depending on what games they were playing.

    nope. US mcdonalds used to have big, plastic arcade machines with consoles built into them. it cycled through n64, ps2 (when i was a kid, it was spyro) and i don't know what else. they took em out years ago though.

    Not a typo. They are or were set up kind of like the demo machines you used to see at stores.

    Not every McDonald's had these, however.

    Not familiar with the that era of gaming,so correct me if I'm wrong on some of these.

    Super Mario 64
    Paper Mario
    Donkey Kong Country 64
    Diddy Kong Racing
    Mario Sunshine
    Paper Mario: Thousand Year Door
    Pokemon Snap
    Pokemon Stadium
    Hey You Pikachu
    Smash Bros.
    Kirby and the Crystal Shards
    Ocarina of Time
    Majora's Mask
    Star Fox 64
    Animal Crossing

    Obviously most of Rare's library is out. Not interested really. They're not handling any of the mini classics right, so why should I bother?

    The N64 version of Diddy Kong Racing has Rare characters in it, Sunshine and Thousand Year Door are Gamecube games, Hey You uses a microphone peripheral, Stadium isn't likely because of the GB transfer stuff and N64 Animal Crossing never left Japan.

    If you want to know the likely pool of games, just look up whats available on VC on Wikipedia. N64 emulation is an eldritch nightmare compared to the previous two platforms and they aren't going to be pulling anything new out of the hat for one of these things unless they are already prepping it for Switch.

    I still have my N64 with a TON of games, so I'll be passing on this. Most of the games that I played probably wouldn't be included anyway due to licensing issues. If I ever feel the need for a polygon people fix, I need only look to my closet.
