The '''Nintendo 64''', commonly abbreviated as '''N64''', is a home video game console made by [[Nintendo]] and released in 1996. It is the successor to the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] and predecessor to the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. The N64 was released in June 1996 in Japan, September 1996 in North America, and March 1997 in Europe and Australia.


The '''Nintendo 64''' or '''N64''' is Nintendo's third home video game console and part of the 64-bit, fifth generation console era. The N64 is the successor of the [[Super Nintendo]] and predecessor to the [[Nintendo GameCube]]. The N64 was released on June 1996 in Japan, September 1996 in North America, and March 1997 in Europe and Australia. The N64 is the second-most shipped system made by Nintendo with 62.5 million shipped worldwide, only under the [[Nintendo Wii]] (which has shipped 70.93 million units worldwide as of March 31st, 2010.)
While no ''[[Metroid (series)|Metroid]]'' games were released for the Nintendo 64, Shigeru Miyamoto revealed during a 2002 roundtable discussion for ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]'' that Nintendo had thought of ways to make a ''Metroid'' title for the console, but could not come up with any ideas.<ref>{{Cite web|quote= I know that the American people have been eagerly anticipating a new Metroid game. I have been asked about it many times! Even through the entire Nintendo 64 period we were thinking of ways to produce a new Metroid title.

==Metroid==
{{Clear}}
Although no [[Metroid (Series)|Metroid]] games were ever made for the N64, [[Samus Aran|Samus]] made an appearance in [[Super Smash Bros. (game)|Super Smash Bros.]] as a playable character. Supposedly, a Metroid game was coming out for the ill-fated 64 DD add-on, but the game was cancelled before it entered production due to the lack of a stable idea. This Project eventually became [[Metroid Prime]], for the GameCube.
