people honestly have nostalgia for the low poly and nogame n64 lol
Mario 64 looks like shit because it's a launch title, conker looks like a fucking gamecube game.

what the fuck does that have to do with mario 64 being a launch title
nintendo managed to do less on better hardware

sony playstation in 1996
the only reason people bought an n64
sorry your parents didn't let you play t he much superior metal gear solid and instead had to play the simplified link to the past ocarina of time
Pretty much. Zelda, WWF and Pokemon Stadium were the only N64 games people bought
>Given CRT's of the time you wouldn't notice texture wobbling
What the actual fuck zoomer bullshit history revisionism is this
Plain and simply, Mario 64 had an actual analog and Spyro had fucking tank controls
Not to mention all the level design in Spyro is based off these fucking tank controls
Here you go, have a literal fucking nothing to drive in with your rapidly accelerating dragon tank
Mario 64 is literally the first 3D platformer that required a modicum of precision that didn't feel like shit or "age" as hard
Judging by the actual numbers the only thing people bought PSX for was Gran Turismo, Final Fantasy, and Crash, which literally make the entire top 10
Replace final fantasy with Tekken and I'd agree with you
there was also the rental market
but not on the n64
because it had no games
>given crt tvs of the time you wouldn't notice polygon wobbling
How the fuck has nobody pointed out this bullshit yet. Is Yea Forums really this young?
Crash's core gameplay could be achieved on SNES, it'd just look something like this. M64, meanwhile, codified 3D platformers as we know today.
Also read up on Crash's development, it's interesting to know all the hopps they had to jump through to squeeze that kind of performance out of PS1.
is this from the treehouse of horror comics?
speaking as someone who played Spyro just last month, it's a beautiful game, but the controls are just garbage
Yeah but Mario 64 didn't incite violence, unlike Spyro
I believe so, those were great. My favorite was the Friday the 13th parody.
>Here you go
Maximum cherrypicking
I honestly never liked Mario 64 but given a choice I would rather play that again than spiro since it is mind numbingly easy. I literally do not understand how I enjoyed this as a child.
>had fucking tank controls
I'll grant the relevance when at walking speed (where it really isn't even a detriment), but tank turning in a full sprint is perfectly fine. Literally the only consequence is that you can't do a maneuver of leaning back to stop a sprint and push off in a new direction which is basically never necessary in the game - full analog control would be a negligible improvement.
It feels good to charge around and wreck shit. It's really that simple.
I recently replayed Spyro and it is just kind of meh. It still looks beautiful, but it is fucking boring.
And I also played SM64 a year or two ago for the first time (never had an N64) and it was a blast. It feels very unique, especially on the more straight up platforming levels. The other platformers I played were more on the collectathon style or were action platformers like Ratchet and Clank. For the first time with SM64 I felt like I was playing an actual platformer in three dimensions. Other games feel so flat in comparison.
play the star road rom hack. you might have to use a guide for some of the stars but its very very good.
what are these hard parts of mario 64 you're talking about again?
>PSX having hd resolution and texture filtering
These nostalgiafags are awesome.
