Nintendo Music
Archaic, less sophisticated (but no less complexly arranged) music accompanying early 8-bit video game system software. Not applicable to anything past 64-bit systems. Not limited to Nintendo's hardware/software systems.

Nintendo Drought
A well-known annoyance to hardcore gamers, when a video game console experiences a long period of no good games being released, named after Nintendo's habit of long "dry periods", after a series of releases for, example, the holiday season.
I'm waiting for those new Mario and Metroid games, but it's going to be a few months before the Nintendo drought clears up. Looks like I'll have to deal with crappy 3rd-Party games 'till then...

DS- Online gaming, Online Browsing coming soon
PSP- Online browsing
DS- Touch screen
PSP- uh.......
DS- SOme media thingy coming soon
PSP- Stores movies, music, and pics.
DS- $100-$150
PSP- $200 something
See? There are the crappy little differecnes people fight over that pull us apart, but if we see all the similarites.
Oh yeah, I'm a DS owner just cause all my friends have them, plus im a Nintendo-faithul kinda guy.

Nintendo 64
Nintendo's system made to compete with the Sony Playstation and SEGA Saturn. The 64 got it's name because it was 64 bit, unlike the PSX and Saturn which were 32 bit.
The 64 was the first console with an analog stick and the first console with a vibrating controller. However being a cartridge based system, it had inferior sound quality. But becuase it was a cartridge based system it was very reliable (Good luck finding a broken one.) Also cartridges have less space on them then CDs, so Nintendo lost alot of 3rd party support. Cartridges are expensive and companies didn't want to pay tons to put a huge game across multiple cartridges.
The 64 had smoother graphics then any other console that generation, though the colour palette had heaps of crappy oranges and such.
The 64's controller was revolutionary, but crap. The analog stick could be worn out quickly (If you want your controller to last stay away from Mario Party.) Also the c buttons were hard to reach.
Some popular 64 games are: Super Smash Bros, Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, F-Zero X, Mario Party, Mario Tennis, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Perfect Dark, GoldenEye 007, Conker's Bad Fur Day and Lylatwars.

The Nintendo 64 was revolutionary, yet it had a crap controller and little 3rd party support. Overall, it has enough great games to warrant a purchase.
