Yes pretty impresive for a release game

Welp the ds is amazing idk what you’re talking about

@@AlexxxMYLSince2013 and nobody ever tried anything better. The rest of DS games are pure horse 💩

@@HistoryandReviews yes it is weird that no other studio managed to produce any game that looked as good as this game, there are games with pretty backgrounds and stuff but models were shit in other games.

Well its a old handheld now we have 3ds

Wii U uses force 640x480 or maybe its bigger, it smooths the pixels though

Because who cares about controls in a 3D platformer right?

I wonder how the ds port had better graphics when the og ds could barley handle 3d

there is an HD ds emulator but it would kill my PC if I tried to use it

Haha! Me too

Same here xD

Same!

My first Mario game was New Super Mario Bros. for nintendo DS

Ace Dynamike Same... I still play it on my DSi...

EXACTLY DS one so much better not even funny

If the youtube app had a like button for comments! I would break my phone bashing said like button.

Batou i like to speedrun a couple games (i wish i had sm64 and an n64 so i can speedrun sm64.). I tried speedrunning shovel knight: specter of torment on my switch without any wisps and only using 2 curios (will skull and that other thing). Its hard

Darkboy get with the times dude

@@darkboy19O7 well now it does

Put ur DS port into the 3DS port did u know that?

I MEANT a SM64 3DS Port. Meaning, SM64 on the 3DS. With better graphics than the DS version,

That kinda would be lame. We need majoras mask more

No. We need more Luigi's Mansion.

More wario lol

Exactly

Same

same

same

Finally, some common sense up in dis bitch!

It's not that simple. I love the look of the new character models, and new content, even if I miss the original lighting. But what happened to the controls? The DS version has, by far, the worst controls of any Nintendo developed Mario game. You can only choose between the same 4 way d-pad cross that was originally designed to play Game & Watch Donkey Kong, or scratching at the screen with no touch feedback at all. Didn't we put these kinds of bad 3d control schemes to rest with Bubdy 3d? And no points awarded for pointing out the DS didn't have an analog controller, when Nintendo made the decision to exclude it themselves. It's the original reason why the Mario games ended up regressing to a 2d format.

Ghost in a Jar Please, someone give a beer to this good person. I preffer the DS version, but not for that I need to menospreciate the N64 version; that's correct my friend.

N64 has a worse camera but the controls are 1000 times better

Honestly the only downside I see for the DS is no BLG

Daxtery Toon nah the circle pad was shit for me

3ds 64 for life

you can still use the touch screen like how bowser gave mario instructions on how to beat him lol

And your vocabulary and lack of manners has worse flaws

CityProductionStudios Yeah, He looks like Chibi Bowser but big-sized.

you eyes*_*

+CityProductionStudios Lakitu also looks cute on N64

darkstar100x with bad textur

AlphaCPS No, he looks like a gay Asian

did you forgot you can choose characters? Different characters can do different things

@@trainsconfigure8016 all were HAT POWERS in the original game, who cares

so long gay bowser*

Wylka Dark *so long king bowser* btw i know its a joke

The Markinator he says so long sweet bowser (thats wut i heard)

Retro Gaming he says so longe bowse (thats what I heard) like long but with an italian accent, but I preffer to hear So long gay bowser

Bowser looks like a joke on n64

Same here! If you started with the DS one there's no going back. The original seems...empty without the mini games, extra areas, other characters, graphics, etc. I can appreciate the original for being groundbreaking and an overall impressive game. I just much prefer the DS game. :)

SteamedHam same dude

This is the only comment in this comment section that's not toxic.

+TheBoltMaster are you bowser

agreed

It was replaced with "Buh-bye" from the shindou release because 1. "Gay" was a very innapropiate term in the mid-2000's 2. To localize it to Japanese people, because it is not called "Bowser" in Japan.

Joe Stalin Bruh what the

Maddox Cox you are making that up, he doesn't actually say "gay" he says "So long a-Bowser!" He's italian.

+NerkMineRaiste Same!

same

ARE YOU CRAZY IDIOT TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE JEALOUS

NerkMineRaiste nope..n64 better in opinion.

+DenètesTM-Cartoon Animator And Fun Things Probably cuz you grew up with it. SM64DS > N64 in my opinion. More content (the minigames are awesome), some added touches (e.g.Peach painting turns into Bowser), and better graphics. The resolution doesn't matter when you consider the devices you're suppose to play them on (TV vs DS screen). So SM64DS wins anyway.

+Jonny Hainsworth Emulator

+colombotron19 thought as much it looks too sharp.

non elle n'utilise pas un émulateur mais le jeu à été modifié tu vois bien la différence de graphisme non ?

That gives N64 a chance though, It looks like that on Wii U

Electro geek il faut pas parler français à des anglais tu sais...

The 90's and early 2000's were the best :-)

I wish I was born around your guys's time. :( I was born in 2001 but I grew up playing n64 on my ds lite and it was amazing!!! I still haven't beaten it after what's seems to be almost 10 years XD I just stopped playing it after I reached 100 and some stars.

Jorge De Leon Well, you can be still considered an early 2000s child, since you were born in 2001. You wouldn't be one if you were born around 2007 somewhere. I'm glad you were able to have a childhood much like ours, though. But anybody's childhood can be great and magical.

Brianna Wilson Someone born in 2001 is a 2010s kid. I was born in 1992 and I'm definitely a 2000s kid.

RustySporks If someone's born in 2006, I think they're a 2010s kid actually, atleast in my opinion. But yeah, the 90s/early 2000s were the best.

It's more to it than just clock speed and amount of ram. Ram speed and latency will come into it as well as CPU architecture. DS CPU might be easier to programme for example. The DS is 32bit N64 is obviously 64bit. There are so many differences between the two you can't really make a comparison, they just handle things differently. The fact that the 64 used cartridges makes a big difference alone. Generally though the 64 has the edge when it comes to resolution, colours and anti-aliasing. It also has better sound; capable of Dolby Pro Logic I surround. The DS has polygon count and texture size. The fact that the DS is running in a much smaller resolution means that there is less stress on the hardware and it runs at a higher frame rate. Personally I prefer the 64, nice smooth graphics, no jagged edges and you can sit on a sofa and play with a controller on the TV.

Though the controls were garbage along with the textures due to no texture filtering, something even the Saturn had

Nintendo probably should have included support for texture filtering, it made games look worse than they could have. Hell, I played PSP games on an emulator and tried it with near pixel filtering instead of Linear and they looked substantially worse off for it.

The bit width of a system has nothing to do with performance, only precision.

David Pearlman The Atari Jaguar is proof of that. 64-bit, weaker than the Ps1 unless I'm mistaken.

MetroidJunkie Yup, as well as many other examples. An Intel CPU running in 32 bit mode will outperform an ARM CPU running in 64 bit mode at the same clock speed. The Wii U will outperform the GC even though the GC is 128 bits and the WiiU is 32 bits. Plenty of other examples too, but there are so many other factors like cache, pipeline depth, out of order execution, branch prediction, bus speed, clock speed, number of floating point units, etc.

Datte! nah

***** not the wii u tho sunshine already looks great!

+NotSoSuper Legacy I can't imagine why the textures look worse on the 3DS version when just the original 3DS had more RAM than the Wii, let alone the N3DS, so it's not like texture memory would be a problem. Lazy porting, maybe.

Or Wii u

Kodie Russell Sunhine should be for Wii U / NX!

so long gay bowser -puts on 8-bit glasses- WHHHHHHHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUHHHHHHH

Buh Bye!

nostalgia

1. Analogue control 2. Nicer Aesthetics 3. Smoother, cleaner graphics. Yes the DS version has more polygons, characters, levels (only because SM64 was Nintendo's first 3D game) but it is also missing a tonne of the effects and of course that analogue control that made the original show stopping!

lol graphics is nothing over the Adventure. if you played Banjoo kazooie, konker's bad fur day, Donkey kong 64 etc you will now what i mean. the N64 basically was the generation that put a stop to the big High score based games and made the brakethrough on how to have fun in games instead of getting annoyed at that you couldn't beat your highscore. Flappy bird is such an example people rather wanna bash their phones in rather than have fun with it. you could basically say it's because of game like those mentioned that we have the genres of games we have today. and just make bad reboots like the DS version is a sorry excuse because nintendo tried to relive that glory time again. as far as the console producers have been it's been nintendo= living in the past, Xbox= living in the Present and the Playstation= looks at the future.

The N64 version is a Classic thats why. Also more have played it than the nDS ver.

Darkside Gaming Nuff said.

Funny you say that, because SM64DS was once planned to be a sequel at some point in its development. It was going to be called super mario 64*4

Sir_Sethery odd, i always found that the ds version was harder because of crappier controls

Just hack your wii, there is no point in buying any wii games nowadays

Wormfan100 No, I will not hack the Wii. I will simply play the games as they should be because it's wrong. It's not so bad on single player, it's cheating. I'd rather play the games as they were made and not modify it. What do you mean there's no point buying Wii games? There's great games, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Brothers Wii, Mario Kart Wii (It's still enjoyable offline) and many more! Personally I find it great still and I do miss offline but it's gone and never coming back.

I didn't say that the games needed to be hacked, But the wii has ended it's support and etc. Also there is no more online as the online support has ended. I know that supporting the company is good and all, but all there is, is used games that mostly just go to those who are reselling. Wii games aren't freshly produced anymore. You don't really have to hack it. But hacking it will bring more life into the system, All dem hombrews to be played. Lots of people have made really good stuff for the homebrew audience.

Wormfan100 Eh. If you wanna go online using a fan based thing, that's fine. I'm happy to just stay offline. :)

KittyKatGaming You missed the point. Basicially hes saying you can get all Wii games for free now. You can also install emulators to the wii to play all the classics!

That's bullcrap and you know it. I push far on the circle pad Mario runs fine. There must be something wrong with your 3DS. Get those nostalgia goggles off your face.

No it's not "bullcrap and I know it". Mario 64 was a DS game, not a 3DS one so the joystick simply works at the DS D-pad would, you still have to hold onto a button to run.

Samuel Coe Idiot... Did you even TRY the circle pad?? It works PERFECTLY fine for me.

I think you're getting the 3DS joystick and the Nintendo DS touch screen confused.

Samuel Coe I'm not talking about the stupid touch screen, I'm talking about the 3DS JOYSTICK.

+Matheusfpolis1 you can play it on 3ds , but you're right , the n64 is better

+Banana Bus can you play it on New 3DS XL?

TheDualWieldingGamer yes , just put super mario 64 ds and play it . I play it on my 2ds :)

Banana Bus Thank you so much!

TheDualWieldingGamer np

The polygon count is allot better on the DS, the 64 has far better anti aliasing and resolution. Textures are mixed, sometimes better on the 64 sometimes better on the DS. It's subjective, personally I prefer sitting in front of a big TV with a good controller rather than looking down at a tiny screen.

Yeah, except for the fact that they replaced like 10 stars in the DS version for something new and forced you to play as Yoshi for the first bit of the game, and go on a retarded rabbit-hunting mini-quest. And the shitty pixel count of the DS version. I'm not nostalgia-blind, as I had the DS version far before I ever played the original. The original is what got me to actually like the game, though. It also sucked ass holding Y to run.

Ah, I see, your just afraid of progress.Linkfan99

KamektheMagikoopa1 On the contrary, I invite it. Making a remake of an old game is not progress, it's regression. Especially when there is hardly any difference between them. It was so exciting around the early to mid 90s because of all the progress that was being made. Nowadays everything is a sequel or a rip off of something else; there is nothing new anymore.

KeyToTime More modern controls, modern graphics on a more modern console? I fail to see your point. Progress is progress, be it small or big.

True and I also liked how bowser looked Asian :>

Yeah i know. But i have a 3ds is a little mutch better to control

Also its not gona change anything in me i chose ds you stay with the firs 3d mario game before galaxy and sunshine

yeah probably because the graphics are better, a classic will always be better in my book

Logan Archer or because the ds version have more stars and you can play with yoshi, wario, Mario and Luigi

minesdk99 is that the only comeback you have when people like the original? Jeez dude you need to step it up

atomic doomsday58 hes a fucking dumbass kid

atomic doomsday58 Resolution?the ds is a portable

Well, I completed the game in my 3DS and with the circle pad is way better to control, but I can't say that it's better than the N64 because I never played that version.

Awesome, im waiting on the game to come in and I have a 3ds. The n64 controller is pretty awesome except that the analog stick will hurt your finger from pushing it after awhile.

ds has more content and slightly better graphics but n64 version is better because of so long gay bowser

+Xemnas Noheart Super Mario 64 DS Has Wario Yoshi and Luigi as playable characters and has more Power Star's and more Level's

+MinecraftPro347 so long gay bowser>everything you just said

+Xemnas Noheart Yup. So long gay Bowser takes the cake. I love that much better.

+Joe Stalin I love you Stalin please kill even more people

Exactly

yeah

yes but did you ever notice the sloppy controls of the ds remake? well honestly we can all agree to blame the nintendo ds's controller for lack of buttons

mario's desing in the N69 was (in my fucking opinion) better than his modern one. but i agree about bowser's design

I think the design in n64 is better than the ds version to tell you the truth

What?

eunitnoCoTtraFsserP Yeah I'm not sure what I'm talking about it either, I think I meant that it adds more to the original story since Luigi was nowhere to be found considering he was in the older games

Oh, okay.

Epic Furry I know right! I have gotten all stars in the n64 version and I decided to give this a go and I am enjoying it but it also frustrates me when I die due to crappy controls. I want to do a long jump and instead I do a ground pound into a pit of doom! I am walking straight then the camera turns slightly left by itself and then Mario decides to walk off the freaking edge of the map! I really wish they waited for the 3ds to make this. Because this is a game i really wanted to enjoy more then I currently am... The features are nice and some of the graphics look amazing (bowser) but the controls make me wonder how Nintendo could release this on a system without a analog stick or slider nub...also I really hate the run movement being assigned to a button because sometimes I will be walking up a slanted are and have Mario just stand there or walk super slow. Also using this game on the 3ds doesn't make the controls better it still controls like it's being used with a D pad even though it's not! Other then this small rant though it is a very fun game, It could have been a lot better if they just waited though.

Mega Raichu ok u were just copy pasting that reply to a ton if comments

+Ex-Poser Toons Good, so I'm not the only one.

TheBoltMaster No, not nostalgia. It's because it's their opinion, and because. On some points, it is. Sure you can bring up the mini games, and sure you can bring up the larger cast of characters, but I feel like SM64 has more charm to it than the ds does. I know, because I own both versions. Like, in the N64 version, Mario can use any power up he likes. In the DS version, the power ups are restricted to only certain characters, which takes away a bit of the freedom the N64 version held. Also, there's a map on the bottom screen to tell you where the star is. To me, this takes away the feel of adventure and actually *finding* stars instead of the game telling you where to find it. Same with the red coin tips Bob-Omb buddies give you. If you have DS version on the ds rather than the 3ds, then you know how it feels to play a 3d game with a D-Pad. It's not all that fun. Now, there are some things the ds version does better, like the Mario wall jump, but I feel like it's not enough to trump the Original Game. The original game is better (in my opinion) also because of the little things. Like when Mario gets a star, he says"Here we go!" on beat, like it's some sort of jingle, while on the DS version, he just says it immediately after he freaking touches the star and it just feels a bit rushed. On the N64 version when Mario finishes a level, he takes off his hat and neatens up his hair, and if he doesn't have his hat he searches himself for it and gets disappointed if he doesn't have it, while in the DS version after finishing a level, all the characters do this stiff generic pose, which also feels lazy, I don't know what Mario does without this hat though, mainly because in the DS version, I never bothered, mainly because it didn't feel as fun. The N64 version it had Mario as the protagonist, mainly because it was Super *Mario* 64. In the ds version, it felt like Yoshi was the main character in Mario's game. The DS version has more levels and minigames. The original game has more charm and makes people want to finish it. The DS version is "meh" in my opinion. I feel like you can have all these new flashy things, but if thee's no love and charm put into it, it's as good as garbage. I feel like the only way I'd like the ds version is because of nostalgia. But after playing the original, then the DS version, it felt like a downgrade. We all have our opinions on things, and on what we like, so please, make sure before you make a comment, it's nothing offending people's opinion unless it's bad and needs to be addressed.

Plus there was always NSMB DS for mini games

Blank Blank i prefer the DS, but if you like the original solely for "nostalgia" that's actually acceptable. just please do not say it looks better.

+J25 yeah

TheBoltMaster no dude, google it the Nintendo DS is a 64 Bit system. The DS is pretty much a N64 portable just with very very low resolution.

+S.S Gaming (SSguner) like how gba was anportable snes and game boy original was a portable nes then? okay.

HeavyDonkeyKong No

S.S Gaming how so? the graphics looked similar to me.

Nah that game can burn in hell for all I care N64 was more unique

I too love n64 BROWSER

Dan FInnessee DS is superior

Dan FInnessee hey what about MORE GAMEPLAY MORE SECRETS MORE CHARACTERS MULTIPLAYER MINIGAMES AND MORE DS IS MORE SUPERIOR ಠ~ಠ

Omid he has his own opinion. Also, pls no more cap locks

If you use the 3ds the controls are great.(:

Dojodog And add WALUWEEEEGEEEE

WAAAAAA

actually the Ds version is on the Wii u...

Gamesforus We're talking about remaking the game again. With better graphics, WALUEEEEEGEEEEEE, and some extra stars.

Wii U? 3DS instead! I would say Switch, but the 3DS deservs it more... Two screens... True 3D... Circle Pad... Easier to port.. Come on Nintendo! This port is very requested! Just go ahead!

+victronex Still only moves in 8 directions so it's not nearly as accurate as the N64 stick. Still controls a lot better on the 3DS to me because the circlepad and the smooth transition fake the 360° feel pretty good.

ikr

I agree ;)

***** Yeah i know, i was just stating something.

Andres Inniss The truth has been spoken.

the DS is 32 bit

OOps But still it looks way too good.

Super Starman most computers nowadays are 64 bit...

that was on purposely because u had to slow down some time.

This depends.Whereas physics were mostly kept intact,there were a few changes.In DS characters have actual inertia in their jumps,so they were more affected by moving platforms.Along with that,wall jumping is considerably easier in DS version.The main reason people complained about the controls was due to the D pad,and how you had a run button to accommodate limited control.People (like me) who are used to playing 3D games with a D pad or Keyboard didn't have that issue.Another complaint for DS was lower resolution and realistic textures that looked washed out.People say textures are lower quality,but in reality N64 used simple colors for models even smaller texture wise.Ds has 32x64 to 128x256 but N64 was 16x16 to 64x64

matthiewg12 why no extra charaters

Get yo nostalgia goggles off and focus on the darn content

I loved how short and chubby Mario is on the N64! cx

シルバー ハンク Silver Hank Who doesn't? c:

Proudsonic885 I only liked the N64 version because of the gameplay and controls nothing more well and the graphics but that plays a small role of why I like it so much.

***** Nope, DS had more unlockable content, the D-Pad, and pixelated and darker themed graphics :(

+Sonicxlolz21 do you know you can play with the pencil it's better than D-pad

Paul Olsen Play it on the 3DS it is amazing because of the circle pad

Paul Olsen Why would you get rid of a DS?

legosavantfun The Wii U has the ds version for about the same price

FAK YOU!!!

Wintowhy Trejo I am with you

Wintowhy Trejo nooooo

Wintowhy Trejo But bowser looks better in DS

On the console version of Super Mario 64, the graphics were comparable.

+MrGameAndSketch To the DS version, I mean. An emulator greatly increases Mario 64's graphics.

True. I have an N64 and I like it more. But I have both games!

the only thing better about the 64 version is less pixels

John Carver less pixels? that makes things worse not better! and also its not even true! the original has a MUCH higher resolution!

David Hammac I think he meant pixelation

+Tux Baster DS only makes the N64 look better because the DS had such bad graphics and lighting for its time lol (even though it's only a handheld), and the N64 was so good for its time.

great, I had it on the original ds then the 3ds and the circle pad is much nicer than the d pad
