I don't see many posts here about the N64 and it doesn't look like there is an N64 community on lemmy.world It's the console I have the most nostalgia for and I have over 130 games in my collection. I'm currently playing a ROM hack called SM64: Beyond the Cursed Mirror. It has some pretty challenging platforming but it is fun.

Low framerates, extremely close draw distances, and odd controller make it less appealing to most retro gaming fans that don't have nostalgia for the system. That's not to say you shouldn't go ham on some Buck Bumble or Doom 64, but it does explain why it's not as active as some other platforms.
