Yeah it's never been an issue. What's the question?

I was just wondering what's considered the best N64 emulator.

Also, is the DS version of Mario 64 considered better than the original? I haven't played either version.

One more question. I've never really played the first 3 Super Mario Bros, and I'm doing a playthrough of Nintendo franchises starting with Mario. Is 2 worth playing? Should I just play the All-Stars versions?

Thanks a bunch. Yeah, I meant the SMB2 USA. As for the N64 emulation, I don't own a Wii, so Project64 it is then.

How do I apply that patch?

Floating IPS?

I found it and applied the patch, but now whenever I jump the game becomes a garbled, corrupt mess. I made sure it was the right version too (using All Stars + World)

BTW, SNES/SuperFami stomps Genesis/MegaDrive into paste.

Serious answer: it came out shortly before Super Mario Bros and featured a giant transforming robot. Basically, right place for the Famicom explosion, early enough that there wasn't competition from good games, and had a theme guaranteed to separate innocent Japanese children from their money (much like Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles did over here).

Wait, Super Mario Bros wasn't a launch title for the Famicom? What were the launch titles?

Yeah, every one of those versions sounds better than the original SNES sound, in my opinion.

Woah buddy I wouldn't go that far. Nintendoes what Sega...don't?

Apparently in 1986 Hudson Soft released a sort of port/sequel to Super Mario Bros. for two home computers in Japan, featuring worse graphics and no screen scrolling: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E0HQOKmAPRA

Some games n junk. I recently learned that Donkey Kong Country is significantly easier in Japan. After beating the first game for the first time I almost (almost) agree with Miyamoto that it's a really mediocre game but DKC2 and 3 just poo poo all over it.

This is a myth, Miyamoto actually loved the first Donkey Kong Country.

I for one think Sunshine was really fun, though I haven't really played any other mainline Mario games

We should stop before we get into YCS bullshit and just agree than N64/PS1-era 3D was garbage. Not to mention the fact that genre preferences really are going to affect GOOD:CRAP ratios, because the N64 has a drat-near absence of RPGs.

I don't agree, because A. I can play N64 games perfectly well today and B. JRPGs are garbage
