Unseen64 has posted a Gamecube tech demo showcasing exactly how Peach's Castle from Super Mario 64 would look like running on the Nintendo Gamecube. The footage is actually playable and was provided to developers to give them a taste of what the Gamecube was actually capable of in the graphical department.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Imagine what they could do on the Wii U
Come on Nintendo give us a massive open world Mario game of the Mushroom kingdom, other islands and lands. You could ride karts, gliders, submarines, lakitu's cloud etc
With the Wii U apparently being more powerful an open world mario game could be massive.
another hey look at that looks good but its sd i know its on the game cube but its pretty crazy that 2012 we finally get hd games from Nintendo took long enough dam.
@below i know im just saying wiiu first hd console from Nintendo after what 12 consoles including handhelds like dam.
I hate that guys voice.
The Gamecube was a graphical powerhouse - and this shows it.
Loved the gamecube but just like the n64 did not get the backing from 3rd partys. Looking forward to seeing what Nintendo do with the wiiu as they tried something new with the Wii and it payed off but they lost a lot of fans of what Nintendo is about but looking at what they have said about the 3ds and Wiiu I think we will have a very good next en from them and its up to MS and Sony to give us something for everyone next Gen.
