Sure, the Wii U has a selection of N64 games, but the Wii U has been dead for years. What about Nintendo 64 games? Nintendo currently doesn’t have any plans to create an N64 Classic, so unless you own a working N64, it’s hard to play games from the dawn of Nintendo’s 3D days. Nintendo has tapped into nostalgia and created a new audience for classic games with the excellent NES Classic and SNES Classic.
While the video game industry is always moving forward to bigger and “better” things, there’s no denying the audience for revisiting or experiencing classics for the first time.
