I know this was years ago, but y did they stop making N64s?! I'm 10 so I never got a chance to play one that I owned! No games no nozing!

Because technology progresses and the N64 wasn't going to be a profitable product anymore. Hence why Nintendo moved onto the Gamecube and now the Wii.

You might still find some second hand ones in stores that deal with second hand video game stuff or online places like Ebay.

A new generation of video game systems came out and no one wanted to buy N64s anymore. In any case the N64 was a distant second to the PS1 in terms of sales.

I understand why nintendo stoped making them, the N64 could only hold so much
N64: 100,000 PPS*
Gamecube: 4 million PPS*
Wii: 500 milion PPS*


* PPS stands for Polygons Per second
