*** Nintendo Switch ***

Yeah im enjoying it through the frustrations of the controls and camera, I think a lot of that is reliving memories though. I got 100 stars on the original but doubt I'll be doing it again.

No way I will 100% it I just don't have the time nor patience anymore.

Yeh they really dropped the ball on 64, if they had made it 60fps 16:9 and sorted the camera I would have been delighted.

If you haven't picked it up already then Hades is a masterpiece, it's from Supergiant games (Bastion, Pyre, etc). Best Switch game I've played this year and smooth as butter in handheld.

Just watched a couple of videos, looks pretty good

I hope they make it possible in the future to play Mario 3D all stars with a gamecube controller, playing with the joycons is just tedious and stopping me from enjoying 64 and sunshine.

My copy arrived. Had a quick shot on all 3. Nostalgia for 64 and Sunshine is there but the inability to reverse the up/down on Sunshine is annoying.

All 3 games do look really great on the lite. Very many hours will be spent on these classic games.

I think you can set 'inverse look' In the system settings of the switch?

It's funny that as a kid the camera never bothered me that much however the games flaws are clear to see these days. I would have liked a remaster but this will do for now. Really enjoying it and going for all the stars!

Same as everyone else, Mario 64 is bringing back some great memory but wow the camera is bad haha. I only got it up yesterday so looking forward to getting into the others, I think i'll play through in order.

I've gone to Sunshine instead and I'm really enjoying. Not finding any issues with camera etc, just the non inverted water cannon controls bug me.

 

[RedStarRiot]

Ah not much interest in Sunshine or Galaxy. Mario 64 and then selling it. I didn't bother with the game cube or Wii so they maybe don't hold the same draw for me as others do. Nothing against the Gamecube, my mate had one and it had some cracking games. Nintendo lost me during the Wii and Wii U time period though.

 

[jrwagh333]

I've not played any of the games in the collection so I'm very excited.

 

[Noxia]

I feel MArio 64 is only appreciated by ppl who hold Nostalgia for it where as the other 2 are in a much much better state and can be enjoyed regardless.

 

[Bazzards]

I only ever played about an hour of Mario 64 back in the day, couldn’t get used to the camera.

Played sunshine on emulator again for about an hour and had never played Galaxy.

Again cannot get into Mario 64, although Sunshine and Galaxy are fantastic.

 

[Plainsong]

Fired up Sunshine to check it out and yeah this is more like it. Looks really nice and the camera is a huge improvement.

Yeah, I think you are pretty spot on. There is a lot of issues by modern standards however I'm loving the nostalgia trip

I think it's the same with FFVII, my fave game ever but I can totally see why people play it in modern times and cant understand the fuss.

Yeah, it's probably mine as well. Traded a Saturn and around 20 games for a playstation and FFVII.

Yeah, I think unless you played Mario 64 at the time you probably wont appreciate it.

It was a huge feat in gaming at the time and really changed platform games forever. Spawned heaps of other bad 3D platformers on other consoles.

 

[Noxia]

Yeah like Croc Legend Of The Gobbos or something like that.

 

[McBain]

Got the 70 stars and finished Mario 64, camera was a PITA but still a nice trip down memory lane. Happy not to try for all the stars again though

Sunshine next

I'm playing through Odyssey for the first time and now not sure whether to leave it and start with Mario 64 and work my way through them in order.
