Podcast #40 - Nintendo 64 turns 20 in France

If this new issue of MO5.COM podcasts arrives 'only' two months after the previouswe had planned to do so much earlier, as shown by our choice of the French anniversary of the Nintendo 64which was the last to arrive in France. It has to be said that we brought to Paris for the occasion Mathieu Manentauthor (among others) of Nintendo 64 Anthology which also reveals a few scoops about Geeks-Line... But we really needed a specialist to talk about this console, which has divided many gamers, from the die-hard fans of Nintendo on the one hand, and those who preferred the manufacturer's 16-bit for its rich catalogue of games from third-party publishers on the other. Nevertheless, rarely has a machine illustrated so well the adage that quality takes precedence over quantity, with no fewer than 45 million sellers in your games library! Revolutionary titles such as Super Mario 64Wave Race 64GoldenEye 007 or even Ocarina of Timebut also an infamous game by Titus and, of course, the difficult genesis of the console... Finally, this podcast marks a double return, that of Belasco and long-lasting programmes!
