God drat. Playing Mario 64 for the first time at the age of 34 and... it's good! Even without the allure of nostalgia it's a drat fine game. Yeah there are minor complaints, but good lord those guys bottled lightning.

Mahoning posted:Yeah I restarted Odyssey a few weeks back and you’re right. That whole cappy world they start you out at suuuuuucks and the game doesn’t really hit its stride as an all time great game until New Donk City which I was surprised how late in the game that actually is. Well, you can really do whatever. I explored earlier levels more thorougly, then I rushed to the end in later ones. Also, before Donk city the sand kingdom is one of the best in the game, wood kingdom is less open but more challenging. The lost kingdom may be hit or miss, but I loved its quirkyness. Lake was the only near miss on a standard platforming criteria, but it's such a perfectly chill experience.

Yeah there are minor complaints, but good lord those guys bottled lightning. I'm looking forward to playing it again. When I saw Mario 64 at Toys'R'Us as a kid, it was like magic. I was astounded in a way that no other game has been able to replicate. Sure, it was because I was a kid, but seeing a fully-realized 3D game like that was something special. And like you said, I bet a lot of it holds up really nicely.

I don't preorder often. I now realize Amazon doesn't really "get" what preordering a game is about.

Your address happens to be at the end of one of Amazon's delivery routes. They don't have a separate van just for special boys who want their video game first thing in the morning. If you wanted to play it earlier today, you should have got the digital version.

Waiting until the night before it comes out to ship it seems like setting themselves up for failure, and that arrival window has moved to the right twice.

The 'point' of a preorder is that your copy is reserved for you before the general sale of the item over the counter / via walk in. Preordering delivery has all the pitfalls of regular delivery issues.

Jesus I have 104 stars already. That just kind of happened - I was playing and then my friend did a large “get 70 stars and finish the game in one go” stream so I watched that and chatted at the same time. This is already the most stars I’ve ever had on the original N64 version (got em all on DS). Other than 100 coins poo poo and the red coins in the last Bowser level all I have left to do is that one loving wing cap red coins bit opposite the Rainbow Road entrance. God I hate it

I'm doing the Mario 64 courses systematically, getting all the stars (including 100 coins, usually simultaneously with the red coin star) in each one, roughly in sequence. Currently up to 45 stars and just starting Hazy Maze Cave. I suddenly remembered that getting 100 coins in Hazy Maze Cave was my 120th star in my first 100% playthrough.

I wasn't gonna get this game for a while because my bank balance was looking slightly low but then I remembered my wallet has like $350 in it from craigslisting old poo poo so Anyone know how long it takes for Nintendo's customer support to ship joycons back? I can play with my 8bitdo controller, but I'd like to use joycons once drift gets repaired

Finally loving got home from work, made a pan of scotcharoos. Its going to be a long night. Im playing mario 64 and oh my God the nostalgia. I think I'm going to play through the games in order. Ive been wondering though...when you jump against a wall in sunshine, does mario bonk his head and bounce off like in mario 64, or does he slide down megaman x style like in modern mario games?

Where did this "So long, King Bowser" nonsense come from? It only takes one listen to hear that's clearly not what he's supposed to be saying. It's either "So long, eh Bowser?" with the hard g on "long" or "So long-a, Bowser".

It's amazing how well Mario 64 has aged. Those early 3d ps1 and 64 games all looked and controlled like washed out rear end. Compare Mario 64 to like, Castlevania 64 or Gex or Medevil and it's stark how much better Mario played than any of them.

I don’t fault them too much they were figuring that out on the fly and what they came up with up is pretty decent for a first try.

Charles Martinet says the line was "so long kinga bowser" but it sounds so little like that it must have been edited or something Maybe Nintendo wanted to remove "kinga" for brevity but left in the "ga" repiv fucked around with this message at 01:15 on Sep 19, 2020 |
