Super Mario Sunshine was at a disadvantage from the very beginning. Remember, this was the semi-official sequel to Super Mario 64, a project even today remembered as one of the best videogame platformers of all time. But in the interest of being objective for just a brief moment, let's altogether forget about Super Mario 64 and look exclusively at Sunshine. Was it a failure? Some Nintendo fans - more than you might expect, in fact - will tell you yes. They'll argue that Nintendo dropped the ball and that the title completely failed to live up to its potential. I'd call that a dramatic critique, at the very least. I don't think Sunshine was a failure. Actually, I happen to feel that it was a great game, but also one whose theme was uninteresting and whose mechanics were sometimes frustrating, if not broken. When I look back on Sunshine, I can't help but summon up the happy inhabitants of Isle Delfino.
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!
