We disagree on almost everything. I think 64 is a rather mediocre game that's aged poorly. Sunshine imo has far more interesting missions and levels. Nothing really stands out in 64.
The missions in sunshine are if better quality than the ones in 64. Almost every single mission outside of the redpill ones is unique and changes up the level in a meaningful way. In 64 only the first two worlds attempt this. Sunshine also has more unique worlds than 64. Much of 64's worlds are just generic themes. Volcano, ice, snow, etc, etc... Sunshine has a haunted hotel/ casino, theme park, construction site, ancient mountain with hidden tunnels, and more. There maybe less worlds, but there's far more care put into each of them.
yeah, that whole volcano, ice and snow motif in platformers is pretty overplayed.
seeing hotels, casinos, theme parks and construction sites as levels in a mario game feels like a breath of fresh air.
its also interesting to see a mario-like spin on something your more likely to see irl than a snow mountain.
thats pretty much the big appeal of the mother/earthbound games.
The GameCube is peak Nintendo. Play Pikmin and F Zero GX.
I agree with you. N64 was outclassed by GameCube in almost every capacity.
the N64 mogs the gamecube with third party support.
not many companies really bothered to make any exclusive GC games, unlike the N64.
sure, many people know say that rareware games like goldeneye haven't aged well, i can't comment because i've never played the game.
but the very thought controlling an fps with the N64s horrible controller design sounds headache inducting tbh.
i liked pikmin tbh, and i played f zero gx when i was 13, but never beat it, i'd rather see a new f-zero than another mario kart.
but it would be pretty cool to see a nintendo all-star kart racer.
but knowing nintendo and like with smash, it'll just be choc full of fire emblem characters because sakurai is a massive fanfag for that franchise that tries to be the berserk of gaming or some shit.
As for the SNES I think Mario World was a massive downgrade from 3. Less interesting environmental themes, less challenge, less creativity. 3 is a much better game.
the SNES mogs the N64 and gamecube combined in third part support.
this was back when capcom, konami and square made exclusive games for that system, many of them are regarded as the best of all time.
shame nintendo decided to stick with cartridges and not cds for the N64 like the retards they are, which made capcom, konami and square ditch them for the saturn and ps1.
