The 5th gen consoles are a great time capsule of everything developers didn't understand about 3d gaming. If you don't have a strong sense of nostalgia for them, most of the games aren't worth bothering with and even the ones that still hold up were mostly dead ne better on the 6th gen consoles.
The fact that most of the great 2d games were intentionally withheld from the North American market is a real shame since the ps1 and Saturn were amazing at 2d.
If Atari was the infancy of video games, then the N64 must be the awkward puberty years.
5h gen consoles are basically the 3d equivalent of the Atari.
