WHY NOW?
The Nintendo 64 represents a unique time in video game history. It was the beginning of the 3D revolution and an attempt at bringing the future into our homes. It was a time where the internet was in its infancy and gaming was still best side by side on a couch. Much like the 90s, it was a time to try new things as there was a lot of momentum and experimentation was encouraged. Winners stood out! It’s a time that seems incredibly foreign to today’s gaming landscape - and I don’t just mean the evolutionary difference in graphics.
The Ultimate 64-Bit Road Trip!
Today, we game separate from one another and the games we play are highly iterative of each other and innovation, seemingly, isn’t a goal for most game companies. We’ve lost what made gaming great in exchange for what makes gaming safe. This series will remind viewers of a more interesting time that brought people together, asked them to use their imaginations and rewarded them with countless memories that could never happen in today’s gaming landscape.
