And Mario 64 was a relatively simple game, control-wise.I disagree-now, yes, Mario 64 is a relatively simple game, control-wise by today's standards, which is likely what you meant.At the time, however, nobody was used to manipulating the camera, and needed to be taught that all through tutorials, making it a functionally 8-button game-more buttons than the vast majority of previous console games. It also had a much higher number of character-states than was normal at the time: 'in-air' 'on-ground' '. I can actually still play games as low as 15-20fps without it interrupting my immersion. I count myself lucky that I can't tell the difference between anything 30fps and up. For those than can tell the difference up to 120fps, it must be really annoying to play at the lower fps.I agree we've gotten spoiled, but it's also true that most newer games rely on the sense of immersion to make a good game, instead of other things like strategy or comedy.
Since that's what sells, we're to blame for that.;). What kind of crack do you smoke? It's gotta be pretty amazing stuff, because the DS has never, and will never, run Super Mario 64. Yes, it has Super Mario DS, which is a.remake. of the original specifically tailored for the DS, but that's hardly the same thing as emulating a Nintendo 64 so you can run the original game.Fact is, if someone had the rights and the willingness, they could easily reimplement Super Mario 64 for the PSP. No one will, but they could.And to the moron who modded that post up as i.
Actually, the full name of the game is 'Super Mario 64 DS'. It's not so much a remake as a port with a few additional features. I think it's perfectly reasonable to point out that Mairo 64 runs on the DS. I don't know why you would get so angry with the poster for mentioning anything like this, for one thing, it's perfectly true.
Furthermore, questioning the +1 insightful in that manner is simply childish, he had a perfectly ligitimate reason for marking it in that way.Furthermore, WHY run Mario 64 on the P. It's not so much a remake as a port with a few additional features.And you know this how? The DS is significantly different than the Nintendo 64 from a hardware standpoint. I'd be very surprised if it was just a straight port. Wikipedia describes it as an 'enhanced remake', though it's hardly an authoritative source.I don't know why you would get so angry with the poster for mentioning anything like this, for one thing, it's perfectly true.Umm, no, I don't believe it's true, and thus, to me, it constitut. Jesus dude, I own the game, and I played a lot of Mario 64 (the original), not too long ago.
It's an update, not a remake, trust me. They ADDED multipul characters (of which you can choose to always play as Mario), and slightly altered the power-up system (I'll remind you that the power-up systems in both versions of the game are an extremely minor part of the gameplay, unlike the games in the rest of the series). After that, they ADDED one more star to each course, without altering the courses. The DS has never, and will never, run Super Mario 64. Yes, it has Super Mario DS, which is a.remake. of the original specifically tailored for the DSLikewise, Windows has never, and will never, run GIMP or Gaim. Yes, it has GIMP for Windows and Gaim for windows, which are.remakes.
of the originals specifically tailored for Windows.Super Mario 64 was written in C, and its game logic was recompiled to form the single-player portions of Super Mario 64 DS. Yes, the graphics engine had to be rewritten in part to port it from UltraSDK to NitroSDK, just as GTK+/GDK/Glib had to be rewritten in part to move GIMP and Gaim from an X11/POSIX backend to a W. What's your point?
Mine was that the DS will never run a Nintendo 64 emulatorIt was expected that the PSP become able to emulate the N64, as the UltraHLE emulator ran on PSP-class PC hardware by intercepting UltraSDK calls and translating them to the Glide API, just as the N64 to DS ports replace UltraSDK calls with NitroSDK calls. My point is that it would have benefitted them to demonstrate their work using a game that isn't officially ported to a modern handheld, so as to avoid 'well whoop-dee-shit, I can do that cheaper than it would cost to mod my new PSP and without breakin.
