As for games, N64. As for everything else, DS.

If you're talking about hardware the DS is smaller, more powerful, and can be taken with you

But if you're talking about Games then the 64 wins by a landslide

you can't beat a classic like the N64. the DS is alright but it still can't compare.

I don't think this is a very fair comparison: The N64 is a console, made in Nintendo's prime. The DS is a handheld, made in Nintendo's big slump.

However, if I was to compare, the 64 obviously wins. It's got a phenomenal selection of games, while the DS has mostly bad games, honestly.

Dude, THE ONLY THING the DS has on the N64 is portability and (only in some cases) better graphics. The games aren't nearly as good as the classic N64 stuff. Also, the nostalgia value is through the roof with the N64.


--Portablility

--Better graphics overall

--100% better control mechanism (the controller for the n64 sucked.)

--The control styles are easier to understand and better

--The ported games are better

--Most of the games are online, whereas the N64's are basic multiplayer.

--Mic

--Touch Screen

Now, if we were comparing the SNES with the Gameboy Advance, this would be different--I would be voting for the earlier version because it was better in every way. However, in this case, the newer version beats the clunky primitive version.

Well the DS is obviously more advance than the Nintendo64 but still you can't beat the classics.

well playing over the internet sucks sometimes. playing multi player is way better because when playing online stalkers will be on that and you don't have to buy a bunch of game systems and games for every person multi player might be limited but it is way better cause then you can talk to the person if it was any other game thing than a hand held my argue ment would be different

I find it hard to believe how there can be "stalkers" on online gaming, on the DS no doubt, where most games don't even involve chatting or sharing of information.

you don't have to buy a bunch of game systems and games for every person


The reason why this isn't a very supportive argument is because online gaming or wireless multiplayer is better. You get to play with your profile, instead of a preset, basic template that everyone can use.

but it is way better cause then you can talk to the person


I guess that is one of the things that the online DS can do, unless you do wireless multiplayer. There are few games on the DS that involve chatting.

Other than that, I agree that the N64's game library is superior. The hardware, however, goes to the DS.
