The '''Nintendo 64''' is a video game console released in [[1996]] by [[Nintendo]], succeeding the Super Nintendo Entertainment System. It was Nintendo's first dedicated 3D console and pioneered the use of analog control in home console games, playing host to some of the most influential games of all time. Notably, Nintendo made the decision to stick with cartridge-based games for the system, which were more difficult to to pirate than CD-ROMs and had faster load times, but were more costly to produce and severely limited the available space. As a result, many third-party developers' chose to reduce their output for the console or only develop for other systems that supported CDs, with only a scant few hundred games released during the N64's life. This lack of third-party support ultimately caused it to drastically lag in sales behind its primary competition the [[PlayStation]].

The system was ultimately succeeded by the Nintendo GameCube in [[2001]].
