Super Mario 64 DS -- Gamespot review

Mrbob said:
We're too busy playing Half Life 2 and Halo 2.

But the usual bunch of idiots wouldn't be playing those games, so they should have plenty of time to complain about this low score. I mean the best game of last generation, now just a very good game due to shitty controls. Do we need anymore proof this hardware is terrible?
 
My only problem with the DS has been its failure to include an analog stick ala PSP. I said the touch screen would not be enough to compensate, and so far at least in Mario 64 I was right. It needs analog, and I guess that's the only thing I'm disappointed in Nintendo about. It's not surprising.
 
Judgement passed on a game based solely on a single review instead of personal experience or time with said game. Check.

Obligatory trolls on a Nintendo product. Check.

Compulsory advise to sell off involved hardware. Check.

All is well at GAF.
 
We're so close to launch its all like tears in the rain.

HYPE is in FULL EFFECT!

We have to pay tolls on Nintendo products? Crap, where do I go to pay it! I need to get it done before I pick up my DS tommorrow! :P

Don't worry guys, I own the game (2 copies) and gave it a 9.8 in the other thread, so everything's cool!

Uhhhh... over-hype Nintendo games much?

You forgot "bizarre interpretation of a review that labels a game 'great' as, somehow, being a condemnation of said game." (Check.)

yea that's really the best thing about gaf. it would be awesome if people start to review games as harshly as other media.

actually, i can't think of a psp launch game that might score higher than this

Lumines or Mercury have a chance. If Metal Gear Acid was considered a launch game, it always has a chance. It is Metal Gear after all. The media darling.

But yeah, I don't see any PSP game scoring higher than a 8.5.

Actually, looking back, I under-hyped it... it's really a 9.9! I mean, you really should see this packaging dude, it'll make a believer out of you! BOTY

Its certainly at a disadvantage as far as platformers that were created around true analogue control go. But im not gonna decide the worth of the entire system on 1 single port and genre.

We know it works well with P&C adventures. Puzzle games. RTS. 2.5D platformers. Even FPS. In fact all PC games that use M&K can be replicated better on DS than they can on a home console with an analogue controller.
