The Nintendo 64 is a console which tends to divide gamers. Launching back in 1996 (or 1997 in PAL regions) as the gaming industry's bread-and-butter (cơ bản) switched from sprites (hình sprit) to polygons, the console represents — from a certain perspective — the first time Nintendo really dropped the ball (phạm sai lầm). Tired of the platform holder's licencing terms, many developers jumped ship to Sony's PlayStation, attracted by fairer deals and cheaper disc-based media. In the meantime, Nintendo doubled down on an esoteric (bí truyền) piece of hardware with confusing, kiddy-coloured controllers that were arguably out of step with gaming's maturing audience.
