Super Mario 64 is an amazing game.
I feel sorry for those memers who pretend to not like it.

I have unironically never liked the 3D games of 64 as much as most of their 2D counterparts. Zelda, Mario, DK... I far prefer the 2D Metroids at large to the Prime series, as well, but that wasn't 64 either.

I don't know, man. Those games got their roots in 2D for me and that's where they're best experienced. The whole thing is designed around precision and exacting jumps and landings and timings (well, not to a Kaizo level or anything). 3D takes that away and, like you said, incorporates all this slipping and this weird turning and fiddling with the god damn camera.

I prefer the likes of LTTP or the first Zelda, I prefer SMB2&3, I prefer Metroid and Super Metroid, DKC1-3... I dunno, the 3D games lost this magic in an era where gaming became about selling the tech, rather than what it did.
Still, I don't DISlike them. They all bring their own thing to their series and have fun, unique elements. A lot of games tried to clone SM64 and failed.

That all being said, 'not good' is not what I'd call any of those games. 'Dated' at worst, maybe.

New SMB and 3D Land/World saved the franchise 2bh. They are the true successors of the original 2D series

I think Prime is better than NES Metroid at least, never got the Super Metroid comparisons because the first Prime feels more like a really good translation of the original game in 3D in the movement and everything, it even perfected the whole beam switch thing that was just used sparsely in the first game.

>>5388331
3D World is good but it feels like something that should have been released way before it did, like a decade earlier or something. Maybe Miyamoto should have done that instead of the original NSMB since it does feel like the next logical step in the gameplay and they didn't got close to Mario 3 or World in that one anyway.

It's simple. Most early 3D games fucking sucked and looked absolutely terrible. They also aged horribly. Nobody dares admit it because they think it's an unpopular opinion.

What if I told you there's also a thing named 'not caring about what other people think and just liking things because of the things themselves'?
Stop being so focused on what others think of your hobby you insecure manchildren.

The controls still feel fresh after all these years

>> No.5389730

I also didn't like it all that much and find pretty much all the 2D Marios much superior. The exploration, the best part of the game, isn't that interesting as an adult (but fantastic as a kid because everything feelsweird, foreign and Mysterious). The gameplay is only so-so at best, the controls and camera really aren't that good and repeated Star fetching is kind of annoying.

I don't think anyone thinks nintendy shit is good, its just stockholm syndrome from growing up with it. I got a gamecube a few years after release and it came with this disc that had every single zelda up to a demo of windwaker on it, I thought great, now I can see what my friends have been raving about.
Absolute.
Fucking.
Trash.
I went for OOT first, I think I made it to the fish dungeon before completely giving up, what a horrible fucking game. Completely fucking empty, horrible game design (even basic shit like spamming the a button through a tutorial ends up with you repeating it) and the graphics look like total shit. I then tried Majora's mask and while the world was much more interesting, the core gameplay of 'press a while locked on to a thing' was still the same uninspired boring shit. You can't even jump.
I feel the same way about mario 64, there's basically no redeeming qualities to it aside from the music providing a perfect soundtrack to some kind of hybrid kindergarten/mental asylum. Everything on the 64 fucking sucks except for Hybrid Heaven, Operation Winback and Pokemon Snap. I just don't know how nintendo do it, my friend just gave me his 3DS and I have no idea what to even pirate for it since there's fuck all that I want to play, at least the DS had some interesting 3rd party shit, 3DS has what, an (actually pretty bad despite the apologists) ace combat game?

Huh? The physics and controls of SM64 are perfect and considered one of its strongest points. Bad/slippery physics only start to occur if you're playing on an emulator.

Virtual console release is also like that, so i guess nintendo can't even emulate their own system correctly.

Just because they designed it doesn't mean they can magically emulate it. The N64 will never be emulated properly.
