Why does this game feel so magical even though I never played it until I was an adult?
>>341570308
I'll get to that, but first...
Unlike most games, the movement itself is a joy. Rather than just "doing puzzles" after moving from point A to point B, the movement IS the puzzle. How far can Mario go if you jump in just such a way? What can he do? Can he reach that platform? Let's try it.
Contrast this with many other games of that era where the controls aren't quite perfect (Megaman Legends) or you're just plain operating a human tank (Metal Gear Solid). They're all great games, but clearly SM64 had far more thought put into how Mario "feels" to move. Considering the entirety of the game is Mario moving, Nintendo put all their development time in the exact right place.

>tfw he stopped releasing videos on his main account because "everyone expects them to be commentated now"
It's a shit game that has ages like milk.
Sunshine is where it's at.
>>341570371
...we'll be checking digits! First up is my 7.
Check 'em!
>>341572026
I wouldn't say 64 is bad, but sunshine is fucking amazing compared to it.
>>341570308
It was back when Nintendo had soul
>tfw playing it when it first came out
>Tfw playing Banjo kazooi and then the long awaited tooie on release
>tfw playing perfect dark at first and not realizing how amazing the game was until later on by playing through the campaign and then with friends
>tfw coming home from school or going over to a friends house to play mario kart 64 multiplayer, goldeneye and smash bro's
Truly great memories

Because despite what the hate machine tells you, it's actually a surprising solid game and *isn't dated.
*Besides the graphics jesus fuck Bowser has down syndrome
The game is built purely around making controlling it fun, where there's momentum to every movement, you slip around, hit walls, do flips and spins
Most games have you move like a fucking robot in comparison.
>>341570308
Because it's good.
SM64 and Quake are basically the only two games which managed to make proper use of the third dimension ;_;
>>341570308
It is a game that's design philosophy is rooted in fun, not what will sell

Someone post that "so long, gay bowser" webm
>>341572012
Actually he just changed his standards for what he wants to post on his main channel. All videos he posts there must showcase a big change such as a reduction of A presses, along with a full explanation of all the terms used in the video, and commentary on top of that.
>Playing Nintendo games as a physical adult
>>341572616
As opposed to a metaphysical adult?
>>341572086
What the fuck is a half A press
>>341572616
>as opposed to playing Nintendo games as a metaphysical adult
>tfw he found a way to shave off 2 A-presses in TTC but it's impossible to get into that pedro spot naturally
Life is suffering
>>341572709
An A press has three parts that basically look like / - \
The / would be you pushing down the button
The - is the duration you hold A
and the last \ is the release.
A half an A press is entering the level with A held down, which, when rounded down, wouldn't count against your A press score.
It's basically getting a free A press that doesn't count against your score.

It was a game made at a time when 3d was new made on a controller designed for it, mario 64 articulated the possibility of having an entire new dimension to play with and mixed it with the creativity of the mario series to make something that i think is timeless.

>impossible
Improbable, needs more testing.

>tfw playing smash bros alone 99,9% of the time because i had no friends

Our short lived mortality is holding us back from such good strats.

Should I get SM64 with my Nintendo points or should I grab Super Punch Out?
I've got 110 gold ones and I wouldn't mind replaying SM64 again.
>>341574695
SM64, of course.
Super Punch Out is a phone-tier meme game.
What if after he conquers SM64, he moves on to conquer the DS version to see if he can decode it as well?
Years of new videos and possible new strategies. It would be glorious.
>>341575350
Can you back up your dismissal of Super Punch-Out with anything other than buzzwords?
>>341575473
It's objectively shit.
>>341575420
Not worth it. You don't use A to jump.
>>341572920
What the fuck is a pedro spot?
>>341575736
A spot where the game gets caught in a loop between forcing Mario up and down alternatively, to squeeze between a floor and ceiling.
He gains a tiny amount of forward speed each time, so over time this builds up and lets you get insane amounts of speed, and probably clip through a bunch of stuff.

Did not expect this crystal clear answer.

>Was eating PB&J the first time I watched that video
>Now every time it's referenced I can taste PB&J in my mouth.
The brain is weird.
Because it's not just nostalgia goggles.
