Okay, I don't know if it's just me, but while this is a great game, I feel as though it doesn't have that sense of nostalgia that previous mario games had. Anything made for the SNES does wonders for me and is not only fun but a beautiful experience aswell. Super Mario 64 is pretty boring, and while the graphics are great, it just doesn't capture the same nostalgic feeling Super Mario World did. In fact Mario Sunshine doesn't either. No new games really do fro that matter.
Since I know alot of the forum members here are video game fans, id like to hear your opinion!

Hmm....the controls were pretty dumb in Mario 64, and for something to be nostalgic for me, it has to be pretty simple. What did you think of Yoshi's Island?

Yoshi's Island is excellent, the graphics amaze me to this day... there's soemthing about 2d graphics that are unbeatable I'd say. And yeah, the controls in Mario 64 are pretty ticky, as with most control systems for the 64.

Aye, could never get to grips with it up until recently, my hands were probably too small when it first came out! (I'm not Jeremy Beadle)
I can't remember Yoshi's Island too well, but what being able to shoot things was fantastic.
I played through Super Mario World again recently and it was fantastic still, even if it was much easier, but I forgot how you get to that Rainbow Island thing, or that star thing, where you get different coloured Yoshi's that belch fire and can fly... can you remind me how?

You must be drunk. Super Mario 64 had excellent controls, and the 64 games generally were excellent controls wise as the pad is easily the best I've ever used (and bar the PC Engine, I've tried them all). The game was perhaps lacking a little magic - same goes for Sunshine - but it was still a fantastic experience. Mario World is maybe still the best but I played it on an emulator and I was shocked at how easy it was. I'm ramblin here cause I'm so hungover it's difficult to remain sane

The secret stage? Yeah, I do beleive you have to access it via a key on one of the Star Road levels... took me forever to find out how to do it, but there should be a more detailed guide at http://www.classicgaming.com/tmk
Great game!

Mario 64 is flawless! The control is the best ever, you can truly do anything you want with no effort. Sunshine has even better control with that fucking backpack! I miss the long jump, though.
I think Mario 3 may be the best ever, though... but every Mario game is a perfect 10.

Yeah, I agree about the controls in Mario 64. That little joystick was perfect. Best implementation of the XYZ Axis-motion in any videogame i've played.

mario 64 is great. the graphics are a bit too polygonized, but that's understandable since it was at the very beginning of the console...
it has a such a great gameplay. one of my n64 favs, along with zelda o.o.t., goemon II, jet force gemini, wipeout64...
i'm into super mario world again now, thanks to emulation (my parents gave my snes to another family, i don't know if i'll ever see it back again), and it's a masterpiece too.

only thing that's wrong with the n64 controller is the circular grooves on the stick. not comfortable at all.

Damn straight!! Mario 3 was the first game I played all the way through, and 64 was the second one. I can still sit and play Mario 64 for hours on end. Great gaming right there, my friends.

super mario 64 was great, awesome level design, control, very challenging game, a classic i tell ye right along side the 2ds. remember the neverending staircase at the top of the castle it reminds me of the neverending ascending tone in autechre's dial.

mario 64 practically invented 3d platforming. its innovative and a masterpiece, and it contains every element that makes the mario games great (with the exception of a ridable Yoshi). to complain is insane.

of course nothing is better than Super Mario World. third best game ever, behind chrono trigger and FF7.

The GBA release of Yoshi's island is superb.

Don't worry, the NES is probably my favourite console. I love the music of those games, the tiny sharp edged controllers and the old style games. They're also mostly much harder than modern games. I've still only completed about half of them :)
Do you have a nes? What's your favourite game?

I used to love the Mickey Mouse game on the Game Gear too
