So I was playing Metroid Prime Remastered and I figured you know, Nintendo don't make games as good as they used to. I like this. An old better Nintendo game with better graphics.

Mario 64 needs a bit more cleaning up because it's an older game so give it new 3D Mario physics, re imagined graphics and settings, new stars, with all the old levels and some new ones.

 

[64bitmodels]

they did in 2005

Doesn’t count lol

I'm talking about a real modernized remake not some DS crud.

 

[TexMex]

Sure but good next time.

they did it again in 2020

 

[DeathGuise]

Nintendo games are just as good now as they were back then. Mario Odyssey is wonderous and many people consider BoTW to be the best Zelda game to date.

 

[nial]

They did once and it was terrible.

 

[TLZ]

Give it the Metroid treatment.

 

[Pasta la Vista]

I asked Nintendo for you, they said ok.

 

[kanjobazooie]

Remake SMW or SMB3 as a 3D game. That would be a dream come too.

Dare I even say, make them open world?

Edit: Relax, people. It's just a wish.

 

[PianistaMacabro]

For me Mario 64 is one of the games that least need a remake, doesnt make much sense

 

[TLZ]

just get the 3d all stars collection!

I have it but that's not the same!

 

[Spukc]

The ds version is amazing.
Even better on a 3ds with the circlepad.

Updating mario 64 visuals is bullshit
Play the 21:9 60fps / 120fps version
Maybe RT but else? Nah

 

[NikuNashi]

release galaxy 2 on the switch first

 

[Syphon Filter]

remakes are a waste of time and money.

 

[nial]

a minor graphical update which costs 40 dollars and can easily be emulated on dolphin??

well again, just get the 3d all stars collection!

To be fair, even the Metroid Prime remaster is miles above of what Super Mario 64 was in that collection...
Seriously, 4:3 aspect ratio, and 720p@30fps.

 

[ReBurn]

Best they can do is a straight port on Switch

 

[64bitmodels]

Remake SMW or SMB3 as a 3D game. That would be a dream come too.

those games strengths come from being 2d, the fast platforming, difficult gameplay and many secrets only work because of 2d being easier to make and easier to have more complex and difficult gameplay in. imo wouldn't make much sense. besides with how vanilla, safe and bland Nintendo is these days all the charm would be stripped out
just play 3d world if you want a 3d take on the 2d formula

 

[fart town usa]

they did in 2005

My immediate thought when I read the thread title. 1st post too, well done.

I like playing Mario 64 DS via the Wii U cause you can use the analog stick, still nowhere near as fluid as the actual 64 title but it feels pretty good for what it is.

 

[PSYGN]

IbizaPocholo: May I interest you in a UE5 remake?

I meant take the setting and characters and make a 3d game out of them. lmao

3D World is kinda bland in that regard, but the gameplay is solid.

 

[Knightime_X]

Full REAL remake
Graphics better than ps4 pro, less than Xbox Series X
1440p 60fps minimum

Switch 2 should be able to handle that.

 

[existensmaximum]

Haven't you learned Nintendo rarely, if ever, do these kind of things that fans crave the most? The stuff that would make the most sense to the fans.

And if they do, they do it in a really disappointing way, like sith Super Mario 3D Allstars.

 

[Robb]

I wouldn’t mind it, but I’ve played Mario 64 so many times already I don’t think I’d be super excited for it.

 

[BlackTron]

Nintendo games are just as good now as they were back then. Mario Odyssey is wonderous and many people consider BoTW to be the best Zelda game to date.

Mario Odyssey was nice but no 64. BotW is the best-selling Zelda but an increase in popularity doesn't necessarily point to a better game. There are many worse games than Metroid that sell a lot better.

Nintendo is doing fine but come on. Odyssey and BotW "just as good" as SM64 and OOT? No way. They were great on a technical level and it was a breath of fresh air that they were simply not sucking.

I already said this in the Prime remaster thread, the reason they won't do it is because it would highlight how much better the old games were if they got good remakes and cannibalize their business of selling 30 million copies of copy/pasted content with cel shaded graphics. I don't even blame them, now that they figured out the formula works I wouldn't screw it up lol.

Mario 64 is a great game and an amazing game for 1996. But Odyssey blows it out of the water in absolutely every capacity. I feel like a lot of people haven’t played SM64 in a long long time.

Thankfully, I've already written an exposé on Mario Odyssey on this very site.

Spoiler: It's the worst 3D Mario.

How about a new game instead.

if you change the physics you also change a big part of what makes this game what it is.

if they remade Mario 64 with new physics the fans of the original would go berserk

 

[ACESHIGH]

Mario 64 has an amazing PC port. I think that surpasses any potential remake from Nintendo just like A2MR is better than Nintendo's own metroid 2 remake

How can somebody with such a username be so wrong about Mario?!

You must be living in a non flushing toilet,Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time is universally considered the Best Zelda Of all time and rated higher then BOTE,and the most influential game of all time,Breath of the Wild not a Zelda game,infact it's a bad zelda game,empty boring open world,questionable gameplay mechanics, and Nintendo games have been on a decline in terms of creative talent...Nintendo doesnt make games as good as they used to...BOTW sucked

 

[calistan]

Mario 64 is tight. Odyssey is bloated and unfocused. Probably 20% of the moons are the equivalent of getting a passing grade just for writing your name at the top of the exam paper. And forcing you to shake a goddamn handheld to access some of the moves, when there are unused / duplicate controller buttons available... You can tell Miyamoto didn't have much to do with this one.

 

[Nankatsu]

Just give it to Bluepoint.

 

[Teslerum]

Pretty much this, just play the PC Port.

 

[MidGenRefresh]

Still better than using an open-source emulator and selling ROM for a full price.

Because they would never do that, right?

 

[Naked Lunch]

Miyamoto's final game needs to be a 3D version of Donkey Kong 94.
The ultimate full circle send off.

It holds up reasonably well, as most of Nintendo’s best games tend to do. But it’s very old. I’d rather they make a new game

 

[MagnesD3]

Yeah I thought of this too when I saw how good MP looked, definitely a piss off. I've been waiting for an awesome Super Mario 64 Remake for along time.

 

[Physiognomonics]

For me Mario 64 is one of the games that least need a remake, doesnt make much sense

The controls could be much improved. The camera is awful in this game (which is normal as it was the first 3d camera ever).

 

[Dr. Wilkinson]

a minor graphical update which costs 40 dollars and can easily be emulated on dolphin??

well again, just get the 3d all stars collection!

You mean the game Nintendo de-listed and stopped selling in March 2021?

And there’s nothing minor about MP Remastered. It’s a full graphical remake with new 3D models, new textures, and new lighting. Literally the opposite of what you’re saying. Maybe watch the Digital Foundry video comparing the two before glibly writing it off.

 

[MagiusNecros]

How about a new game instead.

I tend to like new games. Either that or Wario World Remastered. Because Mario is a cheater. And Wario is very handsome. >:Y

 

[Mephisto40]

 

[deriks]

The answer is in the start of the title
"Just shut up"

 

[tomato shrub]

Agreed that MP is of a quality that's rarely seen by Nintendo these days.

That's a demake.

Mario 64 is a great game and an amazing game for 1996. But Odyssey blows it out of the water in absolutely every capacity. I feel like a lot of people haven’t played SM64 in a long long time.

I've played them last year back to back. Odyssey for the first time, Mario 64 for the first time in at least over a decade. The control of Mario 64 is still unmatched, Odyssey feels like controlling a sack of rice in comparison - Mario's flexibility is way too handicapped and core moves like the dive forward became less intuitive to pull off for no reason. Also, "mash A to swim" in a 3D game? Just no.

He touched fuzzy, and got dizzy.

This. Mario 64 needs to get what Prime got, a heavy remaster, running on top of old or minimally updated code. Halo CE Anniversary pretty much just not full of problems/bad decisions.

Thank you, Odyssey is not even close to as good as Super Mario 3D World. The only one that even begins to compete with 64 IMO
