Nintendo 64: The 1996 Launch Lineup

It's the 23rd anniversary of the Nintendo 64's launch in North America! Let's celebrate with a detailed look at its initial software lineup. In this short documentary, we examine the early days of the 3D platformer genre, chronicle the genesis of the Pilotwings series, and try to figure out just what the heck shogi is and why there are so many games based on it. Which of the N64's launch titles are still worth playing today? Let's find out!
