Why "L is Real 2401" will be unreadable in Super Mario 3D All-Stars

Don't expect the mystery behind "L is Real 2401" to be solved in Super Mario 64 on the Nintendo Switch...

It's a bit disappointing knowing that although Luigi is in the original source code (even his model), he might not be playable in this

whitbyfox1700d ago

It’s Mario 64. You can already play as him in Mario 64 DS from what i gather.

Inverno1700d ago

then perhaps they should've remastered the DS version since its clearly the better game

Kavorklestein1700d ago (Edited 1700d ago )

Omg They totally should have done the DS version! It had so many fun things to do and it would have worked well with the touch screen mini games! Or even done BOTH versions since THEY are both older and smaller titles. What a shame they didn't think of that.

Inverno

Yes and no, the DS has more content but the control scheme is D-pad based so even with the 3DS thumbstick it feels off, the visuals on the original look better on a larger screen than the DS version as well: https://www.youtube.com/wat...

I think they should have just included both games.

whitbyfox1700d ago

Agreed Inverno, bit of a waste.

Unknown_Gamer57941699d ago

Well, this doesn't strike me as the above and beyond kind of remastering anyways. I'm still glad this is happening, even if it's only available for a short while though. I'll take what I can get from Nintendo at this point. Having SM64 on my Switch is better than not having SM64 on my Switch.

Awesome to see Bayonetta 2 get over a million and the Xenoblade games to do so well! Good numbers all around. Nice to see Nintendo recover after the Wii U.

I still have a sealed copy of this game. I heard it was going to be a limited release so I never opened it. I wouldn’t exactly call 9mil limited however.

It is highly doubtful this game will increase in value, especially on the level that some were expecting. This is one of those "limited" releases that isn't limited at all, like you said. Getting a sealed version of this and keeping it like that will not net you much profit, I can guarantee it.

Knushwood Butt975d ago

Maybe they limited it to 10 million.

Limited lol

Nintendo get away with it again.

HeliosHex975d ago

Nintendo played us yet again. Fattened up their pockets by using the coveted limited release tactic to gain profits by secretly releasing more than they said was available.
I feel this as bad as insider trading. There's a law broken somewhere here. It doesn't feel right. Bastards never again will I listen to their bs.

Sgt_Slaughter975d ago

Who knew Nintendo could piss someone off just by operating as a business that likes money.

CrimsonWing69975d ago

Are you familiar with the concepts of “bad business ethics” and “damaging the confidence of consumers”?

Making money for your business doesn’t always equate to a company doing what’s right.

Neonridr975d ago (Edited 975d ago )

I mean I'm pretty sure 99% of the people who bought the collection just wanted the games to play again.

Just a hunch though.

HeliosHex975d ago

Lol I wasn't one of them.

brewin975d ago

Well I wouldn't buy something they said was limited but didn't included any limited edition stuff. There was no special box or special edition items included so the writing was on the wall. Its like they were trying the old Disney tactic and telling everyone this would go back in the vault soon. Im more upset that it didn't include the excellent Mario Galaxy 2.

Necr0philiac975d ago

Remember amiibo's or how Nintendo was creating artificial Wii shortages! The Wii dominated the news without even having any good games. Parents most of the time are clueless and listen to what media deems popular or sold out.

It was stupid to make it a limited release to begin with. No matter, it is pretty easy to find used copies for people who missed it and want the collection. It is a fine collection, especially having Mario Galaxy which is a pain to emulate because of the controls.

brewin975d ago

Can they just do the Zelda collection already?! Yes we know Mario is popular. But damnit I want a Zelda collection of all the handheld games, including the 3ds remakes of Ocarina and Majora along with the great and underappreciated Link Between Worlds.
