About
This long awaited console was the first Nintendo console to take advantage of optical disc based media. It launched at a very affordable $199. The small, compact system came in three colors. Black, Purple, and Platinum. The system had a more traditional controller than the N64 (mercifully), and the system also took proprietary memory cards. Over the console’s approximately five year run, the system showcased several sequels to popular Nintendo franchises as well as some new ones. Some of the more popular titles include Metroid Prime 1 & 2, Zelda Twilight Princess, Pikmin 1 & 2 and Starfox Assault. The console itself is extremely well designed and rugged. Unfortunately, it did not sell as well as the N64, primarily due to Nintendo’s policies regarding third party game developers.
