Be honest, would you buy it?
Dylan Walker
If they fix the camera, yeah I like Mario 64, it's a great game
Matthew Walker
>HD remake >not Super Mario 65 I just want a real sequel to SM64 that doesn't have some silly gimmick like Sunshine and Galaxy.
Aaron Turner
>wanting remakes rather than new games
Grayson Moore
The best way to make a Super Mario 64 remake is to pretend Mario hasn't had a single game since 1996. No modernizations in the designs or atmosphere, no new characters, no shoehorned gimmicks like Yoshi hats or limiting moves and power-ups to certain characters. It shouldn't look all plastic like the fan remake, it should have its dinginess remain but with more detail and polish.
Just make Super Mario 64 like they would have in 1996 with today's technology and techniques and more storage space. Add some extra content like in 64 DS, but don't make it feel so tacked on. Add extra areas to the castle that feel natural and organic. If you're adding new characters, don't gimp Mario and make them necessary for verain stars, make them totally optional. Impliment Yoshi, but have him be a mount, Super Mario World style. Also he can talk, and only uses YI sound effects.
Carson Gray
No. I don't know why anyone ever buys shit like this.
Nathan Perez
I'm sorry that you are you, OP.
Jonathan Evans
What an awful idea. I really hope they don't do this.
Jacob Williams
64 already got a remake. Where's my Sunshine HD?
Ethan Gonzalez
If it had a level editor I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Brandon Phillips
I don't care, just show the NX already
Camden Gray
Like Toad's Tools?
Ayden Peterson
no, we need them to actually show the fucking NX for once
Sunshine HD would be nice btw
Asher Mitchell
Nah. I know SM64 like the back of my hand. All I would do is bitch about every way they changed it and wonder why I'm not just playing the original.
Caleb Cooper
I wouldn't buy it cause I don't own the console, nor do I want to. But if I did, I'd buy it. But even still I'd rather a SM65
Dylan Gutierrez
Yeah OP, because the original is almost unplayable now. It's aged terribly. Unlike Rayman 2 and some of the other early 3D platformers, Mario 64 is in dire need of a remaster/remake.
Alexander Smith
No need for remake, and I don't think that they would even want to make a sequel with M64 aesthetics and design. Just give us something completely new, perhaps they would hit the gold vein again like they did with Galaxy.
Charles Martin
How so? It controls very well.
Carter Wilson
But would Sunshine HD really even be necessary? Besides resolution, it still looks good and plays well. Releasing it in VC would be good enough.
Leo Martinez
Why do people like remakes so fucking much? You can still play the older games.
Bentley Cruz
Camera control is terrible.
Remember the super mario collection on the SNES? How about that, with all the N64, GC, and Wii games as well? Or maybe just the 3d games, that would be a great collection that would sell really well.
Justin Perry
You are NOT going to say that Rayman 2 aged well, let alone better than SM64. I just played Rayman 2 for the first time a year or two ago and it was nigh unplayable. Its camera was somehow worse than SM64's, its controls were slippery, and I'm still ass-mad over that lava level where you had to jump across on a plum.
Josiah Williams
They're not terrible, but they can be quite finicky. Yeah it'd be better with a camera like Sunshine's.
Chase Morales
Which version did you play?
Noah Jenkins
Dreamcast. By all means let me know if that was a butchered port, but I read it was the best version.
Hunter Bell
not gonna happen if anything its gonna be on the 3ds SM64 is one of few n64 games that aged very well, i dont see the point i'd rather have them make a new one
Jacob Long
daily reminder that wii u can natively play gamecube games
Joshua Miller
source?
Blake Ross
galaxys gimmick worked. it surpassed 64 in every way pretty much.
Kevin Bennett
I love Sunshine, but Sunshine HD would be the same as Wind Waker HD. Just 100% unnecessary. Both look and play completely fine, and other than a port, just seems like a waste or resources.
Julian Kelly
except that wiggle control that could have been replaced with a button press
Justin Gonzalez
depends, does scuttlebug hovering is still the same?
Blake Smith
>music is orchestrated like 3D World >like 3D world
Dylan Johnson
Not the same guy, but from what I heard the Dreamcast version just adds the Globox Village or whatever it's called.
Still better than the DS and 3DS ports though. Those are hands down the absolute worst versions of the game
