Dear Future Gamer,
For a reason unknown to myself, everyone seems to think N64s are no longer an option for purchase. Why? The release of Donkey Kong 64, Jet Force Gemini and Smash Brothers amongst others, puts the N64 quite easily in it's prime. The release of such original classics has once again won me over yet again, I've owned five different N64s at one time or another. So my point is not that the N64 is going to make some sort of miraculous turn for the better, rather it is that it is not as dead as everyone seems to think.

FG:
You're right Ben, the N64 isn't dead yet but it's heading that way. Although it might well enjoy a decent Christmas, it's likely it'll be its last. Retailers are already saying they'll be abandoning the machine come the New Year.
