* [[Nintendo 64]]: While not so successful as its two predecessors, mostly due to sticking with the cartridge format over the cheaper and (for the time) high-capacity CD format, it ''did'' bring titles that are still highly regarded, such as ''[[The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time]]'', ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[GoldenEye 007 (1997 video game)|Golden Eye 1997]]'', the latter of which managed to show that [[The Problem with Licensed Games|not all licensed games have to suck.]]

* [[Wii]]: The current system, the selling point being its simple motion controls. It has been the basis for a rise in Nintendo's fortunes, outselling its competitors by tens of millions. A focus on drawing in casual gamers, as well as drawing in the long-timers by assimilating its own past, as well as that of others, has been the impetus for that. The Wii became known for many of its health and sports-related games rather than the company's traditional run-and-gun gameplay.
