Rocketnews: "I personally never really understood where the stereotype that women are bad at map-reading comes from. When most of the women in my life are more composed, logical, and organised than I or any of the guys I know, it seems odd that girls should be known as poor navigators.
If you do happen to be female and utterly hopeless with maps, though, a recent study suggests that you might benefit from playing video games more often, with findings suggesting that those who regularly pick up a controller have a better sense of direction and get lost less often."
Releasing the Nintendo Switch 2 with a Super Mario 64 remake would be the perfect way to unleash the console to the world.
If they ever did I hope they would add onto it, there's so much you could do with Princess Peach's castle alone
Or just make the Mario 128... the cancelled sequel that sounded amazing (or was it just an amazing tale).
Funny that after all these years, we still use 64 bit CPUs, so it wouldn't make sense to call it that.
Each level is pretty small today in the original game, I don't like huge levels but I think they could be at least 2x bigger, or close to it and more of them, with more things to do.
They could do a mix of having open levels and more linear ones like in 3D World or Land, I doubt they will do that but it would make a change.
I mean Odyssey's levels weren't massive, but requiring you to do different things in each world is what made the levels feel bigger than they were.
I'd prefer a Oydessey 2 or Galaxy 3. Besides the DS
game was a Mario 64 remake complete with more playable characters, stages, bosses and muti player content.
I did not like Odyssey i found the idea of ot lame.. i find it boring to just look for moons instead of exploring and enjoying the levels. Let’s not talk about the extremely repetitive and ridiculously easy bosses. Level design is so meh most of the time. Galaxy 2 is a far better game so Galaxy 3 anytime!!!
Agreed. I enjoyed Odyssey for a while, but it quickly became very formulaic where each level felt like a checklist of things to do with WAY too many moons to find. The Galaxy series were the best, as they took some of what made 64 great and juiced it up perfectly.
Yes! Let's release an almost 30 year old game to kick off the next generation for Nintendo...
I'm over re-releases...FEED ME NEW MARIO!
A huge Super Mario 64 speedrun trick has been discovered that could prove to wholly change the speedrunning scene in the ecosystem.
A Minecraft player has astounded the gaming community by sharing an extraordinary recreation of Super Mario 64's castle within the world of Minecraft. This remarkable tribute captures the essence of one of gaming's most iconic locations, Peach's Castle, complete with meticulously designed interiors. Despite Minecraft being over a decade old, its dedicated community always impresses with its boundless creativity. Fan creations like this are a testament to the endless possibilities that Minecraft'
Makes complete sense. My wife is hopeless. If we walk into a shop and exit via a different entrance she can't grasp her bearings. Its funny and frustrating! She is also rubbish at open world games or games with many routes so only plays very linear games. For example heavy rain is her favourite!
Edit even in heavy rain, when the camera angle changed she would change direction and walk back to where she had been. She managed to turn a 15 hour game into skyrim!
To teach people map navigation while growing up, I feel it should be required to play TES 3: Morrowind. If any game make you laugh at the most complicated maps it is this game.
I would also call the process, Baptism by fire lol.
I've played games for over 20 years and still have no idea how to get to many places I've been frequently.
