What does the mom do when you toss it off the cliff?

abbyrose3745d ago (Edited 3745d ago )

Gets mad and runs after you armed with a very disapproving look. Actually she just chases you for a second and then totally ignores the fact that you just threw her baby off of a cliff.

Wow what horrible graphics. It's no wonder the original Playstation dominated back then.

GentlemenRUs3745d ago

Gameplay > Graphics

No matter if it's the N64 or Playstation(Hell even the XBONE).

wonderfulmonkeyman3745d ago

Go back to playing Knack. No one wants your console war bullshit up in here.

jspsc1233745d ago

how can you hate on mario 64

Vegamyster3745d ago

The N64 is more powerful then the PS1.

lefty3745d ago

Yes killzoner99 we all know that good graphics equal a good game......smh brainwashed idiot

TheFirstClassic3745d ago

Eh, the graphics for each system are different. Ps1 had better textures, but more jaggies, worse draw distance, and choppier animations. I find n64 games a lot easier on the eyes myself, never saw any game on ps1 that looked as good as perfect dark or conker's bad fur day.

And mario 64 is one of the greatest games of all time. Just saying.

SilentNegotiator3745d ago

N64 had much better graphics than PS1.

Kryptix3745d ago

Your comment doesn't make sense. N64 had the better graphics, Playstation had the better memory for games due to the disc format.

And Mario 64 was the shit and still is now.

elninels3744d ago

Many n64 games looked better, especially first party games. Nintendo always performs well regardless of hardware, its in their DNA.

Geekman3744d ago

"Dominated" Keep telling yourself that. Losing doesn't mean domination.

I am a huge PlayStation fan but I have to say this has to be the best and one of my.favorite mario games ever. It took mario to a whole other level. I wish they would make a part two to this. Something like how mario galaxy was but not in space.

Super Mario 64 DS: Remakes Done Right

Super Mario 64 DS was offered as a launch title for the Nintendo DS, a remake of the classic platform game with a few original tricks.

Chard50d ago

Not with those D-pad controls

CDbiggen50d ago

Needs more appreciation. I never had an N64 so this was what I played. Sure the Yoshi hat mechanic at first is a slog but you unlock Mario and the others for real and then it takes off. Personally I never had an issue with the controls. Can't forget the mini games and the 4 player rumble over download play.

kevco3350d ago

Indeed, as stated in the article there were tonnes of control options and very much a 'take whatever you like, leave the rest' attitude to most of the game's extras.

If they ever did I hope they would add onto it, there's so much you could do with Princess Peach's castle alone

roadkillers134d ago

Or just make the Mario 128... the cancelled sequel that sounded amazing (or was it just an amazing tale).

fr0sty133d ago

Funny that after all these years, we still use 64 bit CPUs, so it wouldn't make sense to call it that.

fr0sty133d ago

Yeah, a straight remake doesn't sound good to me. Same formula, but different game.

Number1TailzFan135d ago

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.

Neonridr134d ago

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.

ZeekQuattro134d ago

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.

Cacabunga134d ago (Edited 134d ago )

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!!!

TiredGamer133d ago

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.

Lolly134d ago

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!
