N64 stands for Nintendo 64, a video game abbreviation.

Nintendo's 64-bit home console, released in 1996, known for its four controller ports and early 3D classics including Super Mario 64, GoldenEye 007 and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

Example: We spent whole weekends playing GoldenEye split-screen on the N64.

Usage notes

It was the last major home console to use cartridges rather than discs until the Nintendo Switch. Its controller introduced an analog stick, and the Rumble Pak added force feedback. Pronounced "N sixty-four".
