General Info

Did you know: The N64's internal design was first offered to Sega by Nintendo and their partners who eventually turned it down. Nintendo gave the N64 project the code name 'Project Reality'. Originaly they planned to call the console 'Nintendo Ultra 64'. The N64 was actually capable of producing better graphics than the Sega Saturn and the Playstation, it was only the limited storage size on the ROM cartridges that prevented the console from utilising its full power.
