<p>I like the video game system and it's really fun to play it right after <em>doing something specific</em>, especially the game Super <em>Smash</em> Bros.</p>
<p>I would especially value the opinion of guys/males who are currently students (or were very recently college students).</p>
<p>If you want to bring it, bring it. My fiance has one mostly as a fun novelty item but we get some use out of it. You seem to be hung up on what others think. Just do what you want.</p>
<p>College dorms are filled with a variety of video games - take the ones you like and those who like the same games will become your friends!</p>
<p>Why are you even asking us? Why would you care about what other people think so much. Just bring it if you want to</p>
<p>If you want to bring it, then bring it. I have a Nintendo 64 but personally decided against bringing it because I did not want it to break or have anything happen to it.</p>
<p>Instead I just brought up my ps2 since I did not really care about it but it is still fun to play. Honestly, I barely played the video games and did not have much time to do so.</p>
<p>Uh, what sort of replies were you expecting OP?</p>
<p>Do it. Bring MarioKart, Smash Bros, Gauntlet, Starfox, and Mario. And if your feelinbg drained play some Harvest Moon.</p>
<p>if I’m reading your asterisks right, you won’t be the only one interested in playing super smash bros drunk (or high if you meant that).
And video games are popular in general when people are just hanging out, especially ones that are multiplayer and popular.</p>
<p>N64’s are one of the greatest consoles for group gaming sessions. Especially when <em>doing something specific.</em></p>
<p>GameCubes or Wiis are better IMO for games like Mario Kart and Smash Bros because A) the N64 Mario Kart has horribly cheating AI B) better graphics for splitscreen C) wireless controllers.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t risk it getting stolen/broken since they are hard to find! </p>
<p>I have a gamecube but I plan to leave it at home.

<p>^^^Nah, I see them in thrift stores and pawn shops often enough. You might not want to lose the expansion pak, but N64s are pretty common.</p>
<p>I regretted not bringing mine, as though I preferred the SNES, my friends all loved the N64 – but didn’t bring theirs, either!</p>
<p>Real men play Pokemon Puzzle League.</p>
<p>TomServo, who cares about the graphics? N64 is amazing. The games are classics, the controller is the coolest controller ever (who doesn’t like that weird three pronged controller?), and, random note, if both sides cheat, is it really cheating?</p>
<p>I’d take an N64, but wouldn’t think about taking anything else Freshman year, at least. N64 is fun for group stuff, but you don’t really get lost in it like you do with Skyrim, Halo, etc. so you won’t get obsessed and never go out of your dorm.</p>
<p>If you have that little self control that bringing a current console to college means you’d never leave your dorm, then you shouldn’t be going to college</p>
<p>@Tito wow then I guess its jus my area</p>

<p>Hey, Mister CrimsonStainedPants, I love the N64. I got my N64 three days before it was officially released after waiting for it for three years. I saved up my money being a little kid so I could have an N64 and SM64 on launch day. My first-ever web-browsing session was to check out the pictures of SM64 from Shoshinkai 95. I wrote fan letters to Nintendo telling them what features the N64 should have. I played my N64 until the machine stopped working and am now on my second one and Nth controller. I’m just old enough to remember how freaking SPECIAL it was to play Super Mario 64 back in 96, how nothing like it had ever happened before in gaming.</p>
<p>Don’t tell ME I’m hard on the N64.</p>
<p>That said, if we’re talking about Mario Kart or Smash Bros. then I recommend the Wii or GC versions. And the best controller ever was the GC controller, especially the Wavebird (the first good wireless controller). And for split-screen games, I think having the higher resolution of the Wii or GC is important.</p>
<p>Well that escalated quickly…</p>
<p>ThisIsMichigan, it happens to plenty of people, and they still can do well in college. It just wouldn’t be as fun as being social and learning new things. I never said I’d do it, and there’s no need to make huge leaps in saying that someone that plays video games a lot has no self control. </p>
<p>TomServo, I never said anything insulting you, so there’s really no need to act like a two year old and insult me. I never said you were hard on it, I was just defending it against someone who was being hard on something that I like. I liked the original Smash Bros better than the other two (other than the fact that Brawl has some really cool characters) and Mario Kart is a classic on N64. And I didn’t like the GC controller as much (And I have two Wavebirds) as the N64.</p>
<p>Sure! My friend did and when I visited we co-oped Rampage until 3 AM. Granted, he had just finished his finals…</p>
