Scott plays the best version of Super Mario 64: the worst version.

 

[DGrayson]

with all those decompiled PC ports etc of Super Mario 64, would it be possible to import assets from this DS version? I tried to play this once on a DS and the controls were just atrocious.

Omg how cringe is this guy, unwatchable.

I remember trying to play this on a friend's ds as a kid. You're right the controls suck.

 

[Bring Back Scalebound]

The thing that got me at the time is that I heard that you don’t play as Mario on your first playthrough, you play as Yoshi.

I'm biased, because I hate Yoshi (His design), but that seems like a bad decision.

The Aquiles weakness of this game are the controls.
Its actually a pretty cool version of the N64 version. But no way its possible to fully enjoy this with DS poor controls.

 

[GametimeUK]

I didn't really mind the controls back in the day. On the wrist strap for the DS there was a plastic pad you could place on your thumb and secure it there so your thumb would glide across the touch screen. Was a lot better than using the Dpad.

I really enjoyed the DS version back then and it was actually my first full playthrough of the game as I only got to play Mario at a friend's house since he had a 64.

DS version is way better than N64, dont @ at me

 

[diffusionx]

I wish Nintendo re-released the game for the 3DS but like some others they choose not to acknowledge its existence.

Omg how cringe is this guy, unwatchable.

He's an acquired taste for sure, but I like his videos.

Isn't there a hack to enable 3DS circle pad support ( and so by extension analog control via emulation)?

 

[Power Pro]

I feel like I shouldn't like this guy's videos because of the generation/age difference, since he was growing up when I was done with high school, but I love his sense of humor. The jokes really land for me in a lot of his videos.

Yeah right, you shouldn't like a person production because of generation/age difference, can we do a more stereotipical generalization?

Thanks.

Im pretty sure there is, I looked into it once.

 

[LordCBH]

I got this game for my DS back when it came out cause I loved Mario 64 back in the 90’s. Hated this version. The controls were hot dogshit.

 

[SCB3]

Scott's an acquired taste, I do like his stuff, he has a second channel where he talks about stuff in his collection as well, it can be a fun thing to have on in the background

On to Super Mario 64 DS, the controls are fucking horrible, the game does look better than 64 and as he says, the point of the new characters is if you wanna play as them I guess? Limiting the powers Mario could get and piecing it out to the others was braindead though, its worth checking out but I'd rather just play 64 again

No hack needed if you play the ds game on a 3ds it lets you use the circle pad. Although it’s still not true analogue but still a bit better than the regular ds cintrols.

 

[Neff]

The extra in-game content is junk and the visuals are worse, so in no way is SM64DS better than the original, even if they updated the controls.

The side mini games were pretty rad though, I'll admit.

Not everyone can be ironic & cool like Game Sack Joe.
Suppose his YT analytics shows a majority of his viewers are kids, so he plays the role.

I'll take it over getting 120 stars just to meet him and vanish lol

 

[amigastar]

Super Mario 64 DS on the DS was painful but on the 3DS its great. Much more comfortable.

 

[sodstall]

Should of been a part of 3d all stars. And for as much hate as the DS controls got for this game its what made me appreciate the existence of the D-pad. Play on a 3ds or EMU

I know, but what I'm talking about is a hack allowing you to have true analog and 360° movements with the circle pad.

 

[Dacvak]

Im pretty sure there is, I looked into it once.

Yeah, there’s a mod from maybe a year-ish ago. It adds true analog support, widescreen, and right stick camera controls.

I still haven’t tried it myself because I’m lazy, but here’s a good overview of it. It’s definitely on my todo list.
