Launched in the US in 1996, NINTENDO64 has been played by many children at the beginning of the 21st century.

VentureBeat argues that the popularity of NINTENDO64 is particularly high compared to other retro game consoles, because there are no transplant machines or online services that can play NINTENDO64 games.
For example, if you have a family computer game, there is a reprint version of the Nintendo Classic Mini family computer , and you can also play a family computer or Super Nintendo game on Nintendo Switch Online . On the other hand, NINTENDO64 games do not have these options, and the only way to play the game is to have the game console and game software together.
As far as the transactions on eBay are concerned, it is clear that there is a demand for NINTENDO64 games, but it is unlikely that Nintendo 64 Classic will appear. Nintendo of America President Doug Bowser said, “At the moment, our focus is on the dedicated platform for Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch Lite,” and we can play NINTENDO64 games. It seems likely that it will be distributed as Nintendo Switch Online content.
