'''Nintendo 64''' (ニンテンドー６４, ''Nintendō Rokujūyon'', NINTENDO64) is a video game console and the first true 64-bit system. It was released in June 1996 and was Nintendo's third system released in North America. It ultimately did not succeed to Nintendo's standards due to poor 3rd-party support. Regardless of this, however, people did enjoy the relatively few games the Nintendo 64 did have, and still do to this day. The system debuted with three titles - ''Super Mario 64'', ''Pilotwings 64'' and ''Saikyou Habu Shogi'' - and by the end of its life in 2002 it only had a little over 200 titles. The last game for Nintendo 64 was ''Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3'' (2002). Some of the most popular, and the five best selling games of the console are ''Super Mario 64'', ''Mario Kart 64'', ''Goldeneye 007'', ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|Ocarina of Time]]'' and ''Pokémon Stadium''.

This article is a short summary of Nintendo 64. NintendoWiki features a more in-depth article.
Nintendo 64 (ニンテンドー64, Nintendō Rokujūyon, NINTENDO64) is a video game console and the first true 64-bit system. It was released in June 1996 and was Nintendo's third system released in North America. Some of the most popular, and the five best selling games of the console are Super Mario 64, Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye 007, Ocarina of Time and Pokémon Stadium.[citation needed]
Ura Zelda was meant to be an expansion for Ocarina of Time which could be implemented with the Nintendo 64DD. However, the Nintendo 64DD was a commercial failure, so the expansion was reworked into Master Quest for the Nintendo GameCube.
In an effort to curb piracy in China, a Chinese-exclusive system called the iQue Player was created in 2003. The iQue functioned similarly to the Nintendo 64, but games were distributed digitally. Ocarina of Time was one of 14 games available for the system. Majora's Mask was also developed for the system, but was eventually cancelled for unknown reasons.
