      @eckitronix 4 роки тому +63

      And even if they used only MARIO's music, it'd still be wrong. The Super NES had absolutely amazing audio capabilities and some things you couldn't find elsewhere. The reploid war's most electric tune of the twenty-second century? Mega Man X's Spark Mandrill. The most powerful piece of classical music for the post-Apocalypse, nearly countering the Magic being flung during its scene? Final Fantasy VI's Dancing Mad. Some chill vibes to climb some still vines? Donkey Kong Country's Aquatic Ambience. This jank was rad and it was global. The N64 was slightly more capable, but it was its own thing. But just listen to those song and tell me you don't FEEL. Deep down, you know it can't be true.

We had a super nintendo that's what I was used to. Bro, my dad came home from work with a copy of Super Mario 64, and it straight blew my brains out. That game still holds up today.

    the shift from SNES to n64 was just gigantic. I used to play Super Mario World but then I played once Mario 64 and i never touched the old game anymore. Unfortunately, I never owned a n64. I had to visit my friend to play this game and there was always a battle who's turn was it.
    it took many years after I got a Play Station after all. I can just imagine the joy of people who owned a n64 after they got tired of the SNES.

I was confused but grateful and didn't dwell on it. We went out for a bit and we we came back another bigger present had magically appeared on the couch. It was the N64! Best present ever to this day! We had just moved to the States and had gone through some hard times including a brief period of homelessness and unemployment so I appreciate very much the efforts my parents made to make that Christmas so special.

    I got my N64 for Christmas 1996 when I was 17 and we recorded Christmas morning on our new camcorder. It was the only family video we ever made, and I don't know where it is now, but with no VCR I couldn't play it even if I wanted to. But those were some good times to be sure.

      You were able for 30-45 mins to get a PS5 here in Canada.
      But for other later pre-orders, you are pretty right, just a couple of seconds lol.
