A lot of people who had the N64 liked it. I personally thought it was great.
But I think what people are referring to here is it's importance in gaming history. In many ways, it was revolutionary. I'm not sure if it was the first 3D platform game, but it was very well made, and set the standards for all the platform games that followed. It had a lot of content, and Mario had a lot of cool moves... Back in..I think it was 1996, people hadn't experienced such control over a on-screen character before Mario.
There were some great games for the N64, among them were Goldeneye, Mario 64, Zelda: OoT (I think it came out 3 years after the N64 launch), Super Smash Bros...
Back to the topic, I second Pong as one of the most important games.
