edgy cool Super Mario 64

[Anonymous No.8067350]

I rented this as a kid for my Xbox for a weekend. I didn't hate it, but I never wanted to play it ever again and spent most of that weekend playing Halo.

Most western platformers from the 6th gen are like that. There's so many of them it's crazy.

[Anonymous No.8067371]

>>8067351
not many of them mimick the super mario 64 esque style though, i dont just want those linear levels, Vexx gives you BIGHUGE worlds to split off in different directions to discover the macguffins

No, they don't map digital inputs to analog stick movement.

I still can't believe that Argonaut maintains that Croc's prototype with Yoshi instead of Croc was so good that Nintendo had to steal the concept of it for Super Mario 64. Imagine how much worse that prototype was since it was only a prototype, and the finished game itself is barely playable and has tank controls.

have sexx already

[Anonymous No.8068746]

>>8068742
Why have sex when I've already had the superior lizard-based platformer?

[Anonymous No.8068754]

>>8068739
And to just assume Nintendo were never going to try to make a 3D Mario. Are they retarded?

[Anonymous No.8068758]

Should I add this one to the list of games that are better than Psychonauts?

Don't get it.

[Anonymous No.8068794]

>>8067512
That's just good advice.

[Anonymous No.8068808]

>>8068754
Considering that Argonaut MADE the tech that allowed Star Fox to exist, no. Nintendo wouldn't even try if it wasn't for them.

3D was a thing though. Starfox didn't invent the concept of 3D games. It was going to happen eventually.

[Anonymous No.8068938]

I found playing this game to be a rather vexing experience.

>Why yes. I will show myself the door for that shitty pun.

[Anonymous No.8069016]

>>8068758
they're both good

[Anonymous No.8069184]

>>8068938
Puns are great especially when you play them straight, doing the ironic ashamed of my own puns thing is ultra reddit.

>This game was developed by what remained of Iguana entertainment after they all left to join Retro studios
If Retro was never founded I wonder what the game would have looked like

These are the games ps2 owners boasted about over Dreamcasts Sonic Adventure.

>there's a timeline where 'Retro' was stamping Vexx out into a worthwhile series at least rivaling Jak & Daxter or Rachet & Clank

How is this game? I have some fond memories of it and thinking it was cool and mysterious as shit but I haven't played it in 20 years or so.

I've been vexxing for far too long where's my sexx

[Anonymous No.8069403]

>>8069376
it is fantastic right up to the final boss which is way too god damned hard and i am convinced no one has beaten him ever, there's no records of it happening on the internet

I remember seeing this ad frequently but never saw the game on store shelves nor did I hear anybody talk about it.

Who's the yellow guy supposed to represent? Crash? I suppose the green one is Sonic and Gex's unholy child.

[Anonymous No.8071032]

I never saw any ads, I just saw this game at Blockbuster after I plowed through all the Xbox games (spoiler alert for the kids, there were none) and gave it a try. This game was shovelware at it's absolute definition and I'm shocked Acclaim in their dire straits would waste money advertising it. Then again, all Acclaim did was waste money...

you're so full of shit, fucking faggot

[Anonymous No.8071072]

>>8071071
Sorry I already owned the four or five Xbox exclusives worth owning and had to wade through shovelware at Blockbuster to justify my dad's DVD player purchase.

[Anonymous No.8071074]

>>8071072
Wtf, your dad bought an Xbox for a DVD player? Why?

[Anonymous No.8071080]

>>8071074
I wanted a GameCube or a PS2, he wanted a DVD player, so we (he) compromised on an Xbox because he wanted to play Halo. I'm still bitter about it.

I haven't played it since I was a kid but I remember it being pretty fucking hard. I never beat it.

It’s a cope. They never got over the Starfox 2 thing. Argonaut was always in the shadow of it’s contemporaries and was just never that great outside of Starfox. I have to imagine that dwelled on them.

i liked it, the levels were pretty cool
a sequel wouldve been neat, just to tie up that shitty cliff hanger ending

To be fair, i-ninja is a great game and one of the few 6th gen platformers with your time

[Anonymous No.8075435]

>>8071074
The reason Xbox and PS2 sold well is because dumbass normies wanted multimedia devices. It was never about fun games.
