Nintendo 64
$199.00
Released September, 1996
The Pros:Excellent multiplayer support with 4 built-in controller ports. Cartridge games mean no need to wait for loading. Analog control offers more precise input; this allowed consoles to offer first-person shooters like Goldeneye.
The Cons:Cartridge games have limited storage capacity. Somewhat awkward controller layout; your hands can't access all buttons at once. Memory cards plug into the controller adding extra weight.
