I was a big Mario fan as a kid. I couldn't believe they went from Yoshi's Island and Super Mario World to...doing the same level over and over just to get to Bowser. I was impressed by the graphics and movement in Mario 64, and little else. How anyone couldn't see Mario 64 as a downgrade, I never understood. I piss on Mario 64.
I played it again on ds and two-thirds of it is still boring. Thankfully the last third is pretty solid. Maybe I should give it another go since 3ds has the sense to include an analog stick.
As for F-Zero/Wipeout, I never liked F-Zero SNES. Something about that 2d scrolling racing felt like crap to me. We played a shit load of F-Zero in summer vacation in 1995 at my cousin's place in LA, and I fucking hated that game. By that point, I was spoiled by Daytona and Outrun. I never played F-zero X, but I'd rather play Wipeout XL over F-Zero GX.
