I played the DS version a bit during last Christmas and went out with positive feelings. It's the only version I've played, mind you, I got it for the first time during the early DS years and thought it was good; this time I thought it was going to be insufferable because of the D-Pad movement and the camera, but surprisingly it played well enough, can only imagine it's better on a real joystick. The real standout for me is the music, Dire Dire Docks is something else, man. 

The original 64 version obviously looks horrible by today's standards but everything else holds up nicely, that's what I feel. 

Also, at least you've got 3D All Stars. Make sure to save it very well, could be worth a lot in the future. 

I don't get rid of games! I'll keep it forever! 

I just finished getting 120 on Mario 64 and yeah, I enjoyed it a lot. I know I bitched a lot about it, and I do genuinely feel it had some major problems that people just seem to give it a free pass with, but once I overcame those problems it was a joy. Still by no means a favourite of mine and I still think Gen 5 games are overrated as hell and don't add up, but as a piece of history and a nostalgic experience I am very glad I did it. 

I also think this may have been the first time I ever got 100% (120 stars) in that game. I swear I got it as a kid a time or two, but upon revisiting the game and actually doing it for real this time...I swear I don't remember like any of the stars from Rainbow Ride or Tick Tock Clock. I also don't remember getting stars from Toads (I watched a walkthrough, wondering where 3 or 4 of my castle secret stars were and found them). So maybe I just forgot, maybe I was misremembering. I dunno. all I know is that I got my 120 stars and I'm glad and ready to move on. 

Next on my list is Crash Bandicoot 1 on the N-Sane trilogy. wish me luck; I'm going for platinum (not 100% with all the platinum relics). I gotta keep the streak going!
