64 is amazing....why do people hate it so?

Because it was Mario's first foray into 3D, and I don't think it was a very smooth transition.

But I'm also not a good gauge as I hate the N64.

Dunno, I really like Mario64, as a pack-in game I felt I got my money's worth.

Same as with Super Mario World, both games felt like I got a lot of little games wrapped into one!
.. they should have done that with the Gamecube and the Wii.

Also, the Mario-like character in OoT was called Talon. Malon was his daughter. Ingo was the Luigi-like character who ended up being given the ranch by Ganondorf. Ingo kicked Talon out of the ranch for being lazy and Ingo became a very cold and heartless person as a result.

Yeah, I too remember Miyamoto saying that in some interview somewhere... How he likes to fit Mario and Luigi into other games where he can. It's a pretty neat idea and keeps that Nintendo feel going throughout the company's games.

I wish I knew. I don't. To me it was the last GOOD Nintendo console.

3D Land was a bit of a disappointment going straight from Galaxy 2, but was still a good game, although it started out too easily, but from the trailers and interviews, 3D World is looking a lot better than 3D Land.

I'll admit that Mario 64 is too sophisticated for a platform and pretty much IS overrated. But Mario 64 was a technological and innovative achievement in game design. The revolutionary 3D camera and unique thumbpad were out of this world in 1996.

Ever notice how the launch poster child games are usually the best in the entire library?
Sega at least gave us more good sonic games.
Nintendo gave us the same old games redone.(with at least lost levels)
Speaking of lost levels, what the hell Nintendo?, Doki Doki hack? for super Mario 2?
WTF?
With hacks today im glad to see SMW and Sonic have many many good ones.
More of these than any other hack ever.
It seems most companies don't know what really sells.
There should have been a Luigi game for the 64.
I guess he was busy making the Mario RPG manual.
We had to wait until the ds came out to FINALLY get LUIGI.
They held him over us until the GC came out.
Then they didn't even team up the brothers!

What?!

Mario was teamed up with Luigi in the arcade game Mario Bros. in 1983. He was also an unlockable character in Super Smash Bros. on the N64.

Mario 64 was a single player game only.

For the record, I don't hate 64. I just don't think it's aged well, and it bothers me to see it always put on a pedestal as the greatest 3D Mario game when I feel it's been surpassed. It was definitely a great innovation for it's time though.

I dunno. I loved it when I was a kid (always liked 3 and World more though), but then when Sunshine came out I immediately liked it more. Then after playing the Galaxy games recently, I tried going back to 64 and just wanted to play the Galaxy games again.:|

At least I can play it for some nostalgia now and then, which is good enough for me.:)

I don't really think it's too much, but I'm a fan and always have been. I just have a problem with is their insistence on making the 3D Mario franchise more like the NSMB franchise (Galaxy 2/Mario 3D Land/3D World). With those games being too much like NSMB it does get monotonous for me. In fairness, I've not played 3D Land or World, but Galaxy 2 was disappointingly samey after having played through NSMB Wii.

I've often found it funny that Nintendo keeps using the same formula and rehashing over and over again & they get a free pass. While SEGA with Sonic keeps trying something new and different each time and they get chastised and slandered.

Talk about a double standard.

They need to quit changing Sonic and his gameplay, IMO the original format and Sonic Adventure were the best way to make Sonic games. Why fix what's not broken? Besides, the last two or three Sonic games to come out were met with mostly praise for finally sort-of realizing this. I am actually excited for Lost World.

No they don't. That's why Generations is so great.

you mean with innane unskippable cutscenes that tell an absolutley ridicilous story nobody cares about
a drunken spastic camera
and introducing characters nobody cares about ( the robot ) or nobody wants to play as ( that stupid fucker big )
or introducing more insane soap opera plots nobody cares about ?

hmm

i liked sonic adventure ( and cant stand sa 2 ) but the unskippable cutscenes and the innane storyline ( as well as a myriad of other problems ) usually stay my hand when i think about finally breaking the seal on my dc copy
