is Donkey Kong's Smash 64 render the most embarrassing nintendo sprite of all-time?
>>
>>319484334
That's really good low poly, charming as fuck desu senpai
>>
>>319484334
What's wrong with it? Also it isn't a sprite.
>>
>sprite

Also not really, N64 had plenty of uglier models, even Smash 64 did.

I still think SM64 Bowser is some appalling work.

it looks awful and he looks retarded

>>319484546
my bad i meant character model. and come on dude, dk has never looked worse. that head is unforgivable
>>
Most of Smash 64's models look hideous compared to their original counterparts.
>>
>>319484702
His body and shell and everything is pretty good, his face is such shit though

When you've got upwards of four characters all doing shit on-screen and want to keep it at a solid framerate, you've got to make sacrifices. DK is also the biggest character in the game, so his blocky look is more apparent.

This is worse, and it happened six years later.
>>
>>319485469
A game that ran at a pretty shoddy framerate most of the time, but it was forgivable as it was a singleplayer action game.
That and Rare were wizards with the tech of the N64, expansion pak notwithstanding.

no

The original OOT Adult Link. Mostly because his body is weirdly proportioned and his nose is too long
>>
>>319484953
The textures are pretty ugly on the body but yes the face is horrendous. He looks like he had botched plastic surgery.

The Golf and Tennis games on N64 seemed to get the general shape better even if they looked lower-poly and had completely flat textures.

>>319485469
Even with Rare's technical wizardry that game ran like a slideshow and required an expansion pack to even run properly. That wouldn't have been acceptable in a fighting game, especially such a clearly low budget one.
>>
>>319484334
looks good

is OP's opinion the most embarrassing opinion of all time?
>>
>>319486194
you're a fucking idiot. I play and watch Smash 64 competitively, and we all make fun of Donkey Kong's look. Especially with the perspective of the game, he looks positively retarded and unfinished.
>>
Can we bring up awkward character models from non-Nintendo games as well?
>>
>>319486350
It didn't help that Smash 64 had a pretty low budget as well

is he the most overpowered character in smash history?
>>
>>319488483
He's not even the best in his own game
Maybe most skewed skill required/results ratio

you are seriously austistic if you think pika is better

Have you seen DK's waist in Melee?
>>
>>319488808
Explain how Kirby is better than Pikachu, please
>>
>>319484702
You wanna know something? Back then, we didnt give a shit. No one gave a shit. We just had fun playing the fun game. I feel bad for the devs at Nintendo, because how were they to know that some autists 20 years later would bash their work and call it "apalling" because it doesnt hold up to their next gen standards.

>>319488808
Pikachu has a godlike recovery, Kirby doesn't.

The results don't lie.
>>
Not as embarrassing as his new voice.

Holy shit that's bad.
>>
>>319484334
No, you fucking clown, because at the time when it was created it held up. You can't call something "embarrassing" when technical limitations prevent you from doing any better. If that model was in Melee, THAT would be fucking embarrassing.
>>
>>319488449
Mario 64 Mario is actually animated really well. The model itself is nothing special, but the animation is very lively and expressive.
>>
>>319488483
Nope, Wario once caught him and put him in a cage.

I see none of those things there breh. That's just his character model.

>>319484702
Shut up nigga, that will always be Bowser to me - not that gay ass long armed/legged Mario Party 4 onwards faggot he became.
>>
>>319484440
>That's really good low poly
The original Smash Bros isn't a good example of low-poly

whenever I come back to play, it's still jarring as all fuck. A better example of good low poly would be OoT, Sonic Rush, the original Gran Turismos, or Goemon
