I never had an N64.

How many of those games aged well though....not even sure I'd be interested in an 64 classic for that reason.

BAD..... some...... really bad

Most Nintendo 64 games didn’t age well but most people gonna want it for Zelda and Mario 64 and those are still playable. A little slow but still playable

Mario kart 64 sucks lol it’s like u driving in a school zone

Man try playing Mario 64 after odyssey. It’s REALY bad

 

[Nujavez]

Lmao

Yeah most of the games didn't age well. I'd play the OG super smash tho. Maybe some GoldenEye, Perfect Dark, JetForce Gemini.

IDK if that can happen though with Rareware being owned by Xbox now

golden eye with online
would still be fun

 

[Nujavez]

Yeah it would

Mario Kart/Party aged well. Mario 64 is unplayable for me and I loved that game.

The polygon era is just really hard to translate over for a good majority of games.

smb3

[joe billionaire]

Those ain’t polygons


Golden eye was trash when i played it in November. Eh it was ok for 30 mins 4 controllers...switched to blitz 2001 and it was on for real after that game still great

Yeah that’s why I said majority. Some still work. Gotta remember too the controls in a 3D space was also still being played around with. Played Turok 1 last December and it was just impossible

 

[Ingenious Bastard]

BAD..... some...... really bad

Exactly. I'm a nostalgia nut, but I'm cool on all these Classic systems.

I dont mind the NES, SNES, Genesis era games. Because they dont feel as slow and clunky ..but everything else is a pass. Even some PS2 and Xbox games havent aged well.

 

[nawghtyhare]

yeah croc was TRASH

 

[Blue Mamba]

A lot of N64 games have aged well IMO. Some didn't but a lot of them are still really fun

Super Mario Party performs significantly better than Mario Party 10 in Japan
Posted on October 14, 2018 by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch






Super Mario Party debuted in Japan last week. Between October 1 and October 5, it sold close to 150,000 copies. Compared to the last core entry in the franchise, it was a significant improvement. Mario Party 10 sold just 52,000 units in its first week.

As Media Create notes, the Mario Party games tend to be longtime best-sellers due to the nature of the series, and Mario Party 10 eventually reached around 250,000 sales – five times what it sold in its first week. Demand is expected to increase around the holiday season due to Christmas and New Year’s parties.

As one final note, Dengeki states that Super Mario Party sold through 50% of its initial shipment.




i believe they only count physical sales NOT digital

I slightly disagree with that, but that's just my personal bias since Mario 64 is one of my fav. games of all time. I can still replay Mario 64 at any time AND still not find the game unplayable, like I said......that's only me.

I can understand from a graphic perspective, swapping between Odyssey and 64..........yeah, your eyes will start squinting at the graphical quality of 64 to Odyssey.

yeah croc was TRASH

Bringing up that ugly game again

 

[nawghtyhare]

Bringing up that ugly game again

bruh
i SAVED up to get that game

 

[blastercombo]

I think it was just part of the game desogn

i never bring graphics into account. To be it’s part of the charm but the controls for odyssey are just so much smoother and thought out. SM64 feels like a chore to move around compared to it. Also feels like you’re on ice the whole time

 

[9th Wonder]

SM64 is flames and always will be, y’all gotta chill

If we're gonna compare controls...........IMO, Mario moved a lot FASTER in 64 than he does in Odyssey. Mario feels slow AF in Odyssey compared to the 64 days.

That being said, I do agree with you that Mario's controls have become more precise and smoother in the current age of Odyssey when compared to 64.

That doesn't change my opinion about 64 that much, BUT.........now that makes me want Nintendo to release some Odyssey DLC that remakes some of 64 levels like they did with Whomp's Fortress being remade for Galaxy 2.

 

[nawghtyhare]

mario 64 and OoT should be excluded from this convo

Faster? Wouldn’t say that but it’s a lot more loose and unforgiving.

I mean, someone brought it up..........I'm just holding down fort

OOT really isn’t a platformer so it’s fine. After BOTW the game feels EXTRA small like mapwise but still the best overall Zelda game. The games gimmick of time travel didn’t make things a chore.
