RIP. He worked a lot on Pokémon gold and silver when he was part of HAL Laboratories. I dunk hours upon hours into Gold. Sleep well, Mr. Iwata.

RIP memories were created in my childhood, and will forever be held in thanks to him.

55, that sucks. Me and my friends were playing Mario Party 3 the other night on N64, such an amazing game. Yes, it was Friday night and we were eating cookies and milk while playing N64 and we are men aged 21-25. Deal with it.

That sounds like a great way to spend a Friday tbf

Now you're making me nostalgic, man. Granted there are a quite a few good Mario Karts to select from. But 64 is easily the top one.

N64 & SNES are my two favorites. probably just because those are my two favorite Nintendo systems by a mile

I've easily clocked most of my Mario Kart hours in 64, never got a chance to play it on the SNES since we didn't have one. Double Dash is also a good one and the newest one is well made. Sleeper series for Nintendo that there Mario Kart.

Mario Kart 64 was Godlike for the N64. Me and my uncle put in so many hours in that game.
