I’d argue Odyssey was. Same with Galaxy 1 and 2
the only thing that makes Mario 64 ‘magical’ for me these days is mostly the nostalgia.
Astrobot felt the same but for VR.It's not possible ATM. Mario 64 was THE seminal moment in 3D gaming, and if you weren't at least a teen when it released I think it's hard to describe what a big deal it felt like.
Kinda miss those days sometimes.
If only Nintendo had the balls to release the REAL revolution...No because Japan Studio beat them to it with Astro Bot Rescue Mission.

That is completely wrong. Did you even play the game? The way the game uses the VR environment in its level design is every bit as revolutionary as the 3D in Mario 64.I was thinking about that, but it's still just a VR version of what already existed.
Go play Astrobot on PSVR.So no, not until 4D consoles or some shit.

Bowser's Fury was really good too. I feel like this question is a non-starter, Nintendo has innovated light years beyond how good Mario 64 was, even at the time.I’d argue Odyssey was. Same with Galaxy 1 and 2

Nintendo kinda missed the VR boat.
It’s not about being the first.Nintendo never missed the boat, they were there before the boat even showed up, then got hit by the boat because their eyes were bleeding.
Nintendo had the only VR-Only console ever made, which means they also had the best VR-Only console ever made.
It’s about coming at the right time.
Bowsers Fury was really good but it also felt like an extension to Odyssey but with 3D world’s mechanicsBowser's Fury was really good too. I feel like this question is a non-starter, Nintendo has innovated light years beyond how good Mario 64 was, even at the time.
This. Nintendo should have done this game.No because Japan Studio beat them to it with Astro Bot Rescue Mission.

Mario 64 was never special, it seemed that way because of 2D to 3D transition. Play it now and it's just a mediocre platformer.

Not really. They are great games, fantastic games even but not 'ground breaking'.Every gen had a groundbreaking Mario.
Guess you just had to be there? Nothing has come close to blowing my mind the way 64 did.Mario 64 was never special, it seemed that way because of 2D to 3D transition. Play it now and it's just a mediocre platformer.
