The best thing about this game is the movement.

Nobody ever tried to copy it.

Why?

[Anonymous No.2640990]

Because the worst thing about that game, at least sometimes, is also the movement.

The N64 analogue stick is actually different from other more modern sticks, like the GC, Wii or even the Dualshock or Xbox one.
It has a lot more precision, you can work around it with many different inputs (like how you can gradually increase your speed by slowly push forward).

So that, and also the fact most developers realized most people won't care if a game isn't so exquisitely precise as long as it feels good enough.

I'd say this is the main reason. While you can do a lot of really cool stuff in Mario 64 the vast majority of the player base didn't really break out of what was the most straightforward way to get to their goal. They probably felt it would be better to just polish on the basic stuff more than to keep adding on to something a very small portion of the fanbase actually bothered with.

Except for removing the long jump. I've never understood that decision.
