Sorry, but you're dead wrong here. You're looking at things in a vacuum. Mario 64 would indeed be trash if released today. The same goes for just about any game that's not a 2-d side scroller and/or not Pac-Man. 

Sonic Adventure blew minds back when it came out and was the cream of the crop. You can only judge games based on the time when they came out and when that game launched, there was nothing close. 


No, I'm not. SA2 released in 2001. An improved GCN version released in 2002. SA2 is regarded as the better SA game. Dreamcast version? 89. GCN version released only 8 months later? 73. SA DX, again an improved GCN port released shortly after the original? 57.

Mario 64 remake 8 full years later? 85.

I'm not looking at things in a vacuum. The games were never good. They were just reviewed terribly at launch.
