That is wrong in so many ways.

For starters there is no N64 port of wipE'out"2097, the only formats it came out on were the original Playstation, the Saturn and the PC initially, then years later an Amiga port was made (and a Mac one at some point).

wipE'out"64 is another game in the franchise that dramatically reduced the graphics well below what they looked like on the Playstation version (the N64 can't handle much in the way of poly count or texture size), fudged together some new tracks out of re-arrangements of the original wipE'out" and 2097 tracks and had a crummy sounding soundtrack because of the cartridge format. So it is significantly worse in appearance and sound than any version of 2097.

The PC port was the worst 2097 port as it had many graphical problems and bugs, and won't work under 2k/XP without hackish modifications. The Amiga version running on a decent rig like one of the clones (A1 or Pegasos) should be much better than the PC version.

Of course if you want the full soundtrack only the PS version had that because of licensing restrictions, though CoLD SToRAGE provided a very good replacement soundtrack (aka Tim Wright, composer of SOTB parts II and III along with Lemmings and various other Amiga games).
