If Nintendo’s current schedule holds to its predictable pattern, we wouldn’t see an N64 Classic until at least the fall of 2018. The real issue is what they would put on it. Half the memorable games in the N64 library came from Rare, a studio that now belongs to Microsoft, not Nintendo. If you somehow become lucky enough to buy one of these mini-consoles, the factory-installed games within are all good picks that most people had in their libraries and will want to experience again. But in the N64’s case….people with only a light knowledge of video game history will boot this up expecting Goldeneye, and I can already guarantee it won’t be there.
