{{ | The '''Nintendo 64''', or '''N64''', is Nintendo's third home video game console and part of the fifth generation, 64-bit era for which it was named after. The N64 is the successor of the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System|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.

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 game was simply known as [[Metroid 64]].<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!
