After 22 years of never bothering with a serious playthrough, I got 120 stars on Mario 64, using that fancy new PC-port.Now I'm really in the mood for similar games and thought I'd start with another game I never 100%. Does it emulate well? I'm totally out of the loop when it comes to N64-emulation. What other games should I check out?

Check out Ape Escape if you haven't. It's one of the more unique takes on the genre.

Word of warning, no 3D platformer of that era controls as well as Mario 64. Banjo-Kazooie was one of my favorite games growing up but I went back to it recently and was a little surprised at how stiff and slow Banjo feels compared to Mario. The basic fun of just moving around isn't there.

Mechanically the game is about as barebones as it gets.

Banjo-Kazooie isn't a platform game, it's an action adventure game which is consistently mislabeled a platformer because its graphics resemble certain cartoony platform games.

It is a platformer, not a very good one. That is what the central mechanics of it are. Cotton boomerang isn't a beat 'em up because you have a punch.

1998 was a shitty year for gaming.
This game, Starcraft, OOT, MGS, Half Life all overrated shit.
Only Thief was good.

Banjo is way different than Mario 64. It's focus is way less on fast platforming and more-so on collecting things and solving puzzles.

>>6423204
This. Ape Escape is an amazing game. The only problem it has is the awkward jump button location, which you'll get use to fast. Damn. Now I kinda want to play it.

What, so the very fact you can jump alone makes it a "central mechanic" of the game?

Jumping isn't even the main way you get around in BK, but the use of special abilities.

the fact that there's 3 separate ways to jump makes it a central mechanic.

Is this some sort of shitty false flag against Thief fans?

Dunno what's going on in this thread. But yeah, Banjo kazooie emulates fine and is fun as fuck.

Along with Ape Escape, also check out Rayman 2

>> No.6423468

>>6423461
Hearing a lot of Ape Escape, will absolutely check it out, had never considered it before. Rayman 2 is on GOG, is there a better version I should emulate instead?

>> No.6423542

>>6423468
Dreamcast version, allegedly. PC version would be fine though.

Few 3D platformers of any era control as well as Mario 64.

-Rocket Robot on Wheels
-Banjo Tooie
Played them on hardware so idk how well they emulate.

Also, despite the hate it gets here, Mario Sunshine is great, not to mention the later 3D Mario games

I'm on the second to last level and I didn't really like it, most of the game you are just walking without any challenge. I do like the enemies though, some of the best ive seen on a platformer, the writing is fun too

It's semi related since we're talking about emulators: Ocarina of Time Master Quest on Gamecube is the worst piece of shit ever. It runs a hundred times better on an emulator so fuck you Nintendo. Stick to whorehouses you piece of shit hacks.

Banjo is okay, DK64 is better in every way.
