I can't really say anything about the N64, Gamecube, or Gameboy consoles. I was out of the video game picture at that time, but the original Nintendo system produced hundreds and hundreds of games, of which, there are maybe 30 that most people would play regularly. I can't remember how many times I went to the video store and rented games that were totally awful. I think by the end of the run for that system, they were doing the exact same thing that Atari did...
