Unless you are planning to use a CRT TV, I would suggest looking for the Mario Kart 64 PC port

There’s a part of me that would be tempted to buy a Nintendo 64 if I ever found one, just for the authentic experience with Mario Kart 64, Goldeneye, and a few others.
The classic tracks usually vary some in newer versions of Mario Kart. Typically I’d say it doesn’t make a difference, mostly cosmetic, but sometimes it’s significant. SNES Rainbow Road is one I’d say is dramatically easier in the remakes, and I’ve seen comparisons showing wholesale changes on others to the extent they’re hardly even the same track. It mostly seems to impact the SNES and GBA tracks, though. Not as many real differences in tracks that were already 3D models.

I got lucky and got a hand me down 64 from family. It really is the best way to play these games imo. Everything just makes sense with the controller compared too emulating it and playing with a traditional bluetooth gamepad. Though, irc they released a N64 gamepad controller for the switch, if that can be paired to PC i could totally see that being better. Though, all that really matters is that everyone is having fun playing it.

I was going to just share this, but it is also out of stock. Though, at least there is hope of it being available in future.

I’ve certainly considered it just for the upgraded image/TV compatibility and I think the price is reasonable, but their products always seem out of stock and I would assume the original devices are still less-expensive, though less compatible with current TVs
