Timeless game but Galaxy is my absolute favourite 3D Mario.
Astro Bot VR actually has the best implementation of a simar concept in that game. You are basically Lakitu in VR and can interact with the world too.It didn't take itself for anything else than a video game. A rare thing nowadays.
Always liked this detail that in the first 3D game they made for N64 they thought, who is behind the camera as you control it? It's a Lakitu. So cool. Can't think of a game doing something of the like since then (?).
This is the same feeling for me. Something cheap about galaxy and camera.I never liked Galaxy anywhere near as much as Mario 64. There's something cheap about the way Mario is frequently obscured by scenery, and just shows up as a shadow. Like they couldn't design a camera system that worked as well as the one in Mario 64.
As I said in the other thread, mix it up. And play more Nintendo.I have squandered my childhood by not playing this when I was a kid.
It's a video games' video game. One of the most video game-y video games I've ever played.
The kind of game that makes you appreciate being a gamer.
that eel is a pain in the ass. infact the entirety of Dire Dire Docks and most of the water levels are insufferable in Mario 64. Those swimming controls are just plain slow. Really the only thing that could really be improved in a sequelWhen I played it and saw the eel... I was blown away.
Yeah.that eel is a pain in the ass. infact the entirety of Dire Dire Docks and most of the water levels are insufferable in Mario 64. Those swimming controls are just plain slow. Really the only thing that could really be improved in a sequel
do you have a PC?Whats the best modern way to play Super Mario 64 now?
I was warned away from 3D all Stars on Switch (decided to do it when it released and completed it 100%) want to play again but sold my copy
Hate it when people bash this game for "aging poorly" or whatever. Mario's moveset is outstanding to this day, crazy what the devs pulled off in 1996. Git gut.
It's so crazy to thing about now, but back then, using a controller to move a 3D camera was unheard of. They probably felt like they had to put the Lakitu cameraman in just to get people to understand how 3D games work. It really was the pioneer of 3D gaming. There was stuff before this, but it wasn't anywhere near as good or as accessible.It didn't take itself for anything else than a video game. A rare thing nowadays.

The 3D All Stars version is essentially the final version, but it is based on the Japanese one and there is no gay Bowser line.Whats the best modern way to play Super Mario 64 now?

It's a good game.
People who didn’t live through it can never understand what a ridiculous leap it felt like.
I think he might just be pronounce it a bit wier "So longe, Bowser" or something. The extremely low bit depth/sampling rate of the recording probably contributes a lot to it sounding like separate words rather than a exhaled vowel at the end of "So long"It is really, "So long, eh Bowser?"
That title belongs to Banjo KazooieIt’s crazy how it’s still the best game in its genre almost 30 years later
I'm pretty sure it's actually 'So long, king bowser'.The 3D All Stars version is essentially the final version, but it is based on the Japanese one and there is no gay Bowser line.
It is really, "So long, eh Bowser?"
lolBack to mario 64 tho.. banjo kazooie was better in every way.
