- In this video, I talk about my raw feelings about Super Mario 64, as I personally think this game has aged incredibly well all things considered.

Finally someone appreciates Jolly Roger Bay
Way better than dire dire docks
@@Ninnintender yeah DDD sucks
I personally think it's better than dire dire docks
Yeah sure, it has a submarine but this stage has a sunken ship. That beats it
@@Azu_Genesis yeah the sunken ship is way cooler. I didn’t even talk about dire dire docks in the video haha
The submarine just makes the game chug anyway
Odyssey felt like a Mario 64 expansion pack to me. More of that awesome movement, plus Mario gets to mind control people.
Definitely a similar design philosophy
I agree. It very much aged a lot better than other 3D platformers both before & after, such as Bug! for Sega Saturn, Space Station Silicon Valley, the Chameleon Twist series, etc. Not to mention that Bubsy 3D came out a few months AFTER this game & well... we all know how THAT GAME turned out.
Ive seen space station silicon valley and chameleon twist before, they look decent, but are certainly not as good as mario 64 obviously. Bug! never looked appealing to me, there are way better Sega Saturn games more worth your time
Great video, keep it up!
i played it for the first time in 2017 after oddyssey and i think its a masterpeice.
Still one of the best games ever made In my eyes
Agreed
nuh uh
Alright bud LMAO
Most unbiased take: as a peice of art, yes it has aged well, its pretty much cemented itself into the cultural cannon of almosr all aspects of gaming. However, as a game itself, once you take off the nostalgia tinted glasses it is damn near unplayable, with slippery controls and a terrible camera. Sure mario has an amazingly versitile moveset but its just so janky and unless you are extremely precise with your imputs, it feels almost unfairly random at times.
So whether or not you think the game has aged well depends on which of those two aspects you value more. It's influence and achievements given the limitations it had were undeniable, but the fact nintendo keeps re-releasing the game with out fixing any of the janky-ness and still charging as much for the game as if it were new is what rubs people the wrong way
Personally, i still think the games feels pretty good like i said in the video, however i do not believe it is unplayable. I have heard that rereleases of the game kind of mess up the control due to the different analog sticks as this game was heavily designed around the n64 controller. My life in gaming made a great video comparing the different versions and how their stick movement is different ua-cam.com/video/VZBsV6dExZc/v-deo.htmlsi=P2v9fcSHC0WMnY_9
Controls have aged great if you play on original hardware on a CRT or the PC port IMO. They're only slippery on the many rereleases that botched the controls and on the Project 64 emulator which introduces a slight input latency.
It's not unplayable. Not sure where you are getting that take from. As a kid with very little experience I got a fair number of stars on my own. This was on an actual cart, on an actual N64, with an n64 controller.
I love how people say the game has 'aged poorly' yet it and its songs are some of the most popular and talked about. And anyway, this game is revolutionary. it was the first 3D Mario and one of the earliest 3D games! The graphics are astounding for its time, and I'm sure it'd be even greater if it weren't for hardware limitations. For me, I've only really played SM64 DS, and while I like it better, the original game is great too!
Ive considered talking about mario 64 ds for a future video
@@Ninnintender Cool!
Funnily enough, it has aged better than Mario 64 DS
I never thought about it that way but you are right!
I wouldn’t say that. Personally while the ds version by resolution definition looks worse, it looks much much better than the original. Plus more quality of life features e.g. better camera, a more mainstream control system etc
Like 90% of people who say the controls have aged poorly have played the game on a Wii or a Wii U or a Switch or by trying to hook an N64 up to a modern TV without any kind of upscaler, or played the game on an emulator with input latency. The controls have aged great, the problem is that Nintendo doesn't seem to care about them when they rerelease the game and it's given them a bad reputation.
100%. My life in gaming goes in depth on this issue showing how the wii and wii u releases mess up the control. Input latency is definitely a HUGE factor. Some people don’t even realize game mode is an option on tvs so that is definitely a contributing factor.
While I do agree with you that it controls fine on the N64. However, being that it is ‘hard’ to access it on original hardware and it’s easier to play it on newer consoles it isn’t as robust as it was. This is the reason I believe the ds version is the DEFINITIVE version to play Mario 64 as you can hook it up to any emulator or Nintendo hardware and it will control exactly as it did on ds.
@@LoftyCrofty Even with the analogue mod, DS's controls feel kind of sloppy to me. DS has a lot of advantages but controls aren't one of them IMO.
Well i hear 3d all stars actually fixes the control and gives it more range as explained in the my life in gaming video, tho im not sure about the switch online version
@@Ninnintender all switch online games are ROMS and have not been edited
He’s back?!?!!
@@SnockyDocky42 yup
I loved this video so much. It was comforting and well put together and was about one of my top 10 fav games of all existence!! My only complaint about the game in general is the weak bosses. I especially feel that Bowser was too easy ugh! His first form should have required 3 bomb hits, 2nd 6 bomb hits, and 3rd would require 12 bomb throws on a larger battlefield. He'd also teleport like he does on the 2nd match and he'd fly and cast magic from afar. This would have been epic!!
My most loved locations in this masterpiece are...
-Jolly Roger Bay
-Lethal Lava Land
-Shifting Sand Land
-2nd King Koopa Stage
-Tall Tall Mountain
-Rainbow Road
Glad you enjoyed it. Im going for a laid back approach with these videos and i dont have a script except for notes so i hope most of my points made sense. Agreed tho. The bosses aren’t great but thankfully mostly the rest of the game is great!
@@Ninnintender Unscripted is best and feels the most authentic and personal imho.
@@reinatycoon3644 yeah its just my raw thoughts
