People are saying this is emulation and not a port for Mario 64 so yeah, kinda lazy. Especially considering we know Nintendo has Mario 64's source code and could easily do what the gaming community has done with the source code on the Switch. To me, this collection seems very half-assed. 

I'm not sure if this is simple emulation. They have upscaled the the HUD and added icons for the new buttons the Switch has (+. - and home)...

Yeah I just caught that. I guess the issue is, we're wondering why it isn't widescreen then. Some are bringing up the reason it isn't is because of how the game is programmed for the 64 in regards to how it renders objects. I can't imagine a scenario where this is a port of the OG source code but they decided against wide screen. Perhaps it's a hybrid of sorts. I'll be interested to see what they did when we get a hold of the rom.
