Nintendo 64 Anthology Kickstarter
It surely is a great time to be a fan of the Nintendo 64. I know I’m a bit late to this story but it’s something that definitely needs to be covered. This is a Kickstarter campaign to write and promote a book by Mathieu Manent from Montmorency, France which is an anthology about each and every one of the 388 games released for the Nintendo 64 worldwide.

The book has already been written in French so the kickstarter is only for the English translation. It’s also due to be released on 29 Sept 2016 to coincide with the 29th anniversary of the North American release.
It will contain the following chapters:

Chapter Six: 64 Dd
Chapter Seven: Canceled Games
Chapter Eight: Rare Versions And Collector’s Edition
Chapter Nine: Around The World
Chapter Ten: Collector’s Corner
Chapter Eleven (Collector’s Edition Only): Advertising Around The World
There is also an optional limited edition book sleeve and artbook containing all the cover art of every game released. There is even an edition that gives all of the above plus a custom Zelda-themed Nintendo 64 for a whopping 500 euros.
Now I for one love these huge coffee table books. I remember getting the Hyrule Historia book as a gift a few years ago, and I really loved it so much that I almost dished out a few hundred quid for the box set of Zelda guides. However, I find that this is a much more intreguing purchase than the Zelda books for one simple reason – Zelda is still ongoing and needs to be updated while the Nintendo 64 is set in stone. There still might be a new mod or homebrew here or there but the official lifespan of the Nintendo 64 is over and done with which makes it possible to write a complete anthology without any new additions.

I believe that Sony cheated in the console war using a music player with price fixed CDs Don’t believe me I Have Witnesses.

Some youtubers even found hardware bugs in the newer games. Ever since the newer games had hardware bugs. Some started going toward emulators. Sony had a secret discussion with rival music companies and the rival music companies followed suit and got involved with Sony in their price fixing scandal. They cheated by getting help from rival music companies to take down Nintendo. Sony told the rival music companies to copy their prices in order to take down Nintendo. the most highly toxic game ever Call of Duty was inspired by a PlayStation homebrew game made by the Arab Baath Party This homebrew game was only released on PlayStation 2 in the middle east only 4000 copies where made making this one of the rarest PlayStation 2 games. When Sony was caught by violating The Japan Ant
itrust act they denied wrongdoing. Sony thought the only way to clean their toxic reputation was to deny Cross play which is stupid because the only way they could clean their reputation is to admit the cheating
If Sony didn’t Cheat then how come you see people who actually like the 64DD?

unlike the 64DD the PlayStation sacrificed gameplay for graphics
the 64DD did not have much in common with other commercially failed hardware
