Overall however the results of the Nintendo cartridge system were mixed. The smaller storage size of ROM cartridges can limit the number of available textures. As a result, many games with much smaller 8 or 12 MB cartridges are forced to stretch textures over larger surfaces. Compounded by a limit of 4,096 bytes<a href="#cite_note-126">[123]</a> of on-chip texture memory, the result is often a distorted, out-of-proportion appearance.

The review praised the "fastest, smoothest game action yet attainable via joystick at the service of equally virtuoso motion", where "[f]or once, the movement on the screen feels real".<a href="#cite_note-Time_comeback-130">[127]</a>: 61  Asked if consumers should buy a Nintendo 64 at launch, buy it later, or buy a competing system, a panel of six <a href="/wiki/GamePro" title="GamePro">GamePro</a> editors voted almost unanimously to buy at launch; one editor said consumers who already own a PlayStation and are on a limited budget should buy it later, and all others should buy it at launch.<a href="#cite_note-131">[128]</a> At launch, the <a href="/wiki/Los_Angeles_Times" title="Los Angeles Times">Los Angeles Times</a> called the system "quite simply, the fastest, most graceful game machine on the market". Its form factor was described as small, light, and "built for heavy play by kids" unlike the "relatively fragile Sega Saturn". Showing concern for a major console product launch during a sharp, several-year long, decline in the game console market, the review said that the long-delayed Nintendo 64 was "worth the wait" in the company's pursuit of quality. Although the Times expressed concerns about having only two launch games at retail and twelve expected by Christmas, this was suggested to be part of Nintendo's "penchant for perfection", as "while other platforms offer quite a bit of junk, Nintendo routinely orders game developers back to the boards to fix less-than-perfect titles". Describing the quality control incentives associated with cartridge-based development, the Times cited Nintendo's position that cartridge game developers tend to "place a premium on substance over flash", and noted that the launch games lack the "poorly acted live-action sequences or half-baked musical overtures" which it says tend to be found on CD-ROM games. Praising Nintendo's controversial choice of the cartridge medium with its "nonexistent" load times and "continuous, fast-paced action CD-ROMs simply cannot deliver", the review concluded that "the cartridge-based Nintendo 64 delivers blistering speed and tack-sharp graphics that are unheard of on personal computers and make competing 32-bit, disc-based consoles from Sega and Sony seem downright sluggish".<a href="#cite_note-Curtiss_wonder-102">[99]</a> Time named it the 1996 Machine of the Year, saying the machine had "done to video-gaming what the <a href="/wiki/Boeing_707" title="Boeing 707">707</a> did to air travel". The magazine said the console achieved "the most realistic and compelling three-dimensional experience ever presented by a computer". Time credited the Nintendo 64 with revitalizing the video game market, "rescuing this industry from the dustbin of entertainment history". The magazine suggested that the Nintendo 64 would play a major role in introducing children to digital technology in the final years of the 20th century. The article concluded by saying the console had already provided "the first glimpse of a future where immensely powerful computing will be as common and easy to use as our televisions".<a href="#cite_note-Time_Machine_of_the_Year-132">[129]</a>: 73  The console also won the 1996 <a href="/wiki/Spotlight_Awards" title="Spotlight Awards">Spotlight Award</a> for Best New Technology.<a href="#cite_note-133">[130]</a> <a href="/wiki/Popular_Electronics" title="Popular Electronics">Popular Electronics</a> complimented the system's hardware, calling its specifications "quite impressive". It found the controller "comfortable to hold, and the controls to be accurate and responsive".<a href="#cite_note-Popular_Will-53">[50]</a> In a 1997 year-end review, a team of five <a href="/wiki/Electronic_Gaming_Monthly" title="Electronic Gaming Monthly">Electronic Gaming Monthly</a> editors gave the Nintendo 64 scores of 8.0, 7.0, 7.5, 7.5, and 9.0. They highly praised the power of the hardware and the quality of the first-party games, especially those developed by <a href="/wiki/Rare_(company)" title="Rare (company)">Rare</a>'s and Nintendo's internal studios, but also commented that the third-party output to date had been mediocre and the first-party output was not enough by itself to provide Nintendo 64 owners with a steady stream of good games or a full breadth of genres.<a href="#cite_note-134">[131]</a> Next Generation's end of 1997 review expressed similar concern about third party support, while also noting signs that the third party output was improving, and speculated that the Nintendo 64's arrival late in its generation could lead to an early obsolescence when Sony and Sega's successor consoles launched. However, they said that for some, Nintendo's reliably high-quality software would outweigh those drawbacks, and gave the system 3 1/2 out of 5 stars.<a href="#cite_note-135">[132]</a> Developer <a href="/wiki/Factor_5" title="Factor 5">Factor 5</a>, which created some of the system's most technologically advanced games along with the system's audio development tools for Nintendo, said, "[T]he N64 is really sexy because it combines the performance of an SGI machine with a cartridge. We're big arcade fans, and cartridges are still the best for arcade games or perhaps a really fast CD-ROM. But there's no such thing for consoles yet [as of 1998]".<a href="#cite_note-F5_Interview_Pt1-136">[133]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Sales">Sales</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Nintendo_64&action=edit&section=24" title="Edit section: Sales">edit</a>]</div> The Nintendo 64 was highly successful in the North America region; conversely, sales proved to be underwhelming in the domestic Japanese and in European markets.<a href="#cite_note-:0-16">[13]</a> Nintendo reported that the system's vintage hardware and software sales had ceased by 2004, three years after the GameCube's launch; as of December 31, 2009, the Nintendo 64 had yielded a lifetime total of 5.54 million system units sold in Japan, 20.63 million in the Americas, and 6.75 million in other regions, for a total of 32.93 million units.<a href="#cite_note-sales-7">[7]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading4"><h4 id="North_America">North America</h4>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Nintendo_64&action=edit&section=25" title="Edit section: North America">edit</a>]</div> The Nintendo 64 was in heavy demand upon its release.
