Nintendo's online subscription service allows fans to experience their own retro catalog of acclaimed games. Initially starting with NES and Super NES games, the selection has been extended to include Nintendo 64 (or N64) and SEGA Genesis games as well.
The N64 in particular is still fondly remembered, as it was home to early 3D games.
Though many games may seem archaic by today's standards, they still retain a nostalgic charm. Note that N64 (and Genesis) games are not available via the standard subscription.
