The Nintendo 64 was very popular for many reasons, one of the big ones being the release of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. ''Super Mario 64'' was one of the first games of its kind to feature full 3D graphics and depth of field effects. The Nintendo 64 was able to pull this off because it was the first system to feature a 64-Bit processor and 32-bit graphics chip (aside from the failed Atari Jaguar, which was really 32-bit). The Nintendo 64 also featured the first successful analog control sticks, and four built-in controller ports. The Nintendo 64 was also noted as the last home console system to use cartridges, before Nintendo started using discs like its competitors. | The Nintendo 64 was very popular for many reasons, one of the big ones being the release of ''[[Super Mario 64]]''.
