Nintendo's recent NES classic mini and SNES classic mini have both proven to be both very popular with gamers and profitable for the company, so many people, myself included, are wondering if they shall next make a mini version of the N64, their third home console, as that would seem to be the logical next step.
What does everyone else say about this? Will Nintendo make an N64 classic mini?

it requires you to own those consoles. some people don't want to play the new games they just want the classics.

smackjack, a person could actually emulate those consoles, and many more, on a computer, which I have been doing, but some people wish for the sense of nostalgia from owning a physical console and using the controllers.
One aspect of the two mini consoles that I dislike is the severely small selection of games that each console has; given how greatly technology has advanced since the original releases of those consoles, the entire library of each console could be fit into a single device, or at least every game that was highly-regarded and does not require third-party licensing.

All we can count on is that if they do release it, there won't be enough.

epajula, why did Nintendo produce its previous mini consoles in such small quantities? It would more than make back any production costs from the sales of such items, so there does not seem to be any sensible business reason for such limited production runs.

I have a Switch! My first console was a SNES, then I got a N64 when it came out! Loved playing GoldenEye! Hopefully a N64 mini does come out though. That would be awesome!

I dont get these consoles. Cant you do the exact thing with virtual console on wii (and soon switch)? Then you get NES, SNES, N64 and GC. All you need is a fitting controller.
