On September 29, 1996, the Nintendo 64 launched in North America — a console that forever changed gaming. With the debut of Super Mario 64 and Pilotwings 64, the system brought us true 3D worlds, the revolutionary analog stick, and the Rumble Pak that let us feel the action for the first time.

The N64 gave us some of the most legendary games ever made, from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time and GoldenEye 007 to Mario Kart 64 and Super Smash Bros.
