1996: Super Mario 64 came out and revolutionised the gaming industry with its 3D.
2004: The legendary Super Mario 64 got remade with a few additions on the DS.


Since I was born in the 2000's, I wasn't around during the N64 era. Which means I don't own one. I always wanted to at least give Super Mario 64 a try. And so I think it'll be amazing if it gets "remade".

Now why did I say that word in quotations? Well, I would really want the game to be on the Switch, but just like Final Fantasy XII, I would love it if it keeped the N64 graphics and everything, and with a few additions, like Mario 64 DS elements or Mario Odyssey stuff. The thing is, I wouldn't be as happy if it got remade with brand new graphics and that stuff. I really wanna try the N64 game how it was back in the day.

Whaddaya think?
 
I just want a graphical overhaul with smoother controls. Don't know how I would feel if they brought back the Cap mechanic, but I wouldn't be against it. Maybe they can even add Waluigi :waluigi:

Mario 64 can be downloaded through the Wii and Wii U's Virtual Console. I also find the actual cartridge show up in second-hand stores sometimes.
 
It already got remade on the DS, and I feel the other Mario 3D platformers like Sunshine should be remade first.

Also, it's not going to keep the N64 graphics as it is, especially for a remaster, as it would be pointless to remake a game without taking advantage of better hardware; you are trying to resell an old game at full price anyway. What you want more is a virtual console system that emulates Super Mario 64 on the Switch than a new remake entirely.
 
just release a comprehensive virtual console you corporate fucks
 
super mario 64 was already perfect. it would be cool if they did something like what people want them to do with melee and upgraded the graphics but made it otherwise a frame perfect port. however if they replace blue thwomps with grey spikey thwomps i would be upset

also this

Although, an HD remaster of the N64 graphics would be an interesting look, imo. Like, keep the blocky look, just make everything clearer. Like the 64 Suit from Odyssey.
 
I say, we have a Super Mario 3D All-Stars instead which has 64 (based on the DS version), Sunshine, the Galaxy games and 3D Land, while 3D World Deluxe can be included in the collection. That would be more worthwhile. I mean, some of these games like Sunshine and especially the Galaxies can be enhanced with HD visuals and some extra content added on to them, 3D Land can include Peach mode after you beat the game and it would be worthwhile as well. 3D World Deluxe can have Daisy and a new world added into it.
 
Super Mario 64 has already gotten a fantastic DS remake, and since you plan on getting a 3DS soon, you'll probably want to look into that.

I second this. Why remake 64 for Switch, with its DS remake and both its VC releases, while its sequel has yet to get a rerelease of any kind? Fun fact: Mario Sunshine is the only mainline Mario game that has yet to receive a permanent digital release.
 
I second the Super Mario 3D All Stars idea. Imagine having Super Mario 64 (Included with the additions and extra content introduced in 64DS), Sunshine, the Galaxy Duo and the the 3D duo all on one cartridge with a updated HD visual style on par with Odyssey. They could also add some new features and content like Splatoon-esque gyro controls for FLUDD and playable Luigi in Sunshine and maybe Daisy in 3D World for example.

Of course I know this is mostly just wishful thinking and my unrealistic expectations, but still it would be cool.

Sunshine HD would also be cool too.
 
No chance of an HD SM64 unless it's in a collection, which I would love (as Pwwnd and Nano have mentioned).
And yeah, Sunshine HD first. Especially now since my Sunshine disc is dead.
