What is it that most games can't do what Mario 64 did? Send gamers into small ass levels to grab a coin 10 times? Or the control or what?

etiolate · « **Reply #61 on:** July 13, 2007, 09:55:38 PM »

The control, the sense of inertia and actually being in a 3d space. If you take a Crash or Naughty Dog platformer, you could apply the level design in those games directly to a 2d game, just from an overhead perspective.

The platforming and layout of Mario 64 could not be translated into 2d topdown, because it used the actual 3d space. This extends into SMS even if you think of the Jackie Chan sorta jumping/wall climbing you do in that game.

Mechanically, most modern 3d platformers are like a cheap radio control car, that has four basic directions it can go. Up, down, left, right. Mario on the other hand is like a highly manueverable RC helicopter that can twist around, rise and fall, diagonal, curve and strafe.

Mario 64 is still fun as hell. SMS is hated on too much, but that's mostly due to it feeling like a spinoff Mario game. I'll admit I didn't enjoy it as much as pretty much every Mario game that preceded it. Galaxy looks to really be taking the Mario series to a new level, while incorporating the awesome level design that the series always exhibited.

Mario 64 kicked fucking ass at the time.

And just like every other big name N64 game it aged horribly.

OoT, Goldeneye 64, Mario 64, PD, all of these games are complete ass today.

No

Goldeneye is funny for about 10 minutes if youre drunk or something. Otherwise yeah, N64 games look like absolute dogshit today, they also play like shit. OoT sucks!

bud · « **Reply #66 on:** July 14, 2007, 10:33:49 AM »

goldeney is like 15 fps or something, so it is unplayable nowadays but it didn't hurt the game back then.

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #67 on:** July 14, 2007, 11:27:05 AM »

Goldeneye runs pretty smooth, it's PD that's fucked in the frame rate department.

Multiplayer is still pretty bad from what I remember, but I didn't find it unplayable when a few friends and I popped it in a few months ago.

but slow, right? i don't remember much anymore but i played the game a couple of years ago and it was freakin slow. but pd, yeah, lol. goldeney was the better game, though imo.

Mario 64 is still great fun to play, but I'd be lying if I said I enjoy it more than Sunshine. Sunshine has, quite simply, the best control in any platformer ever. It's so fluid and precise, it's incredible.

Nintendo said the game is divided in 6 areas containing 40 galaxies. Can anyone explain this? What is a "galaxy" in this game? I think they got confused and the game actually has 6 galaxies and 40 planets.

Oblivion · « **Reply #72 on:** August 22, 2007, 03:37:52 PM »

Didn't want to make a new thread. Here's a level that they didn't show before. Very reminiscent of one of Sunshine's secret levels

Rman · « **Reply #73 on:** August 22, 2007, 05:23:01 PM »

I prefer Sunshine as well. The platforming areas were godly, with old school challenge. Those blue coins were a total bitch. SMS remains the only Mario game I haven't beat 100 percent complete 'cause of the freaking blue coins.

I downloaded SM64 on VC and I found it too limiting. At the time it was released it was simply amazing, though.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #79 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:14:56 PM »

64 and Sunshine were both crap. Although I did only play 64 for the 1st time a few months ago, I probably wouldve loved it back when It came out. But Sunshine is just a bad game. I liked the part where you had to pull the octopusses face off

Bah, to hell with you.

64, back in its day, was great. Sunshine evolved the control into omg like quality, it just suffered from horrid level design in some parts (that one Beach, and then inside the hotel $:-\$ ). Also, I think both have some pretty awesome compositions. The theme from Bob-bomb Battlefield=

, Delfino Square theme=

The Sceneman · « **Reply #81 on:** August 22, 2007, 09:41:16 PM »

I loved N64 back in the day, Banjo Kazooie, Conker, Diddy Kong racing, Mario Kart, F-Zero X were all tops

But yeah, I like those games too.

I enjoyed Mario 64 in the day but I cant bring myself to play it anymore. Collecting stars to get to the levels I like is so tedious.

I think it's time to forgive the Sand Bird and appreciate the awesomeness that is Super Mario Sunshine.

If you hate it so much I'll buy your copy off you for $20.

They all started out that way. Two of them are direct ports with waggle tacked on.

Metroid Prime 3 started out on Gamecube hardware, but it sure as fuck didn't have waggle tacked the fuck on.

Super Paper Mario and TP, dude... You think either of those were designed with waggle in mind?
