Graphically maybe. But have you played M64 and OoT lately?? Granted I haven't played OoT since the N64 days, but M64 is still a masterpiece. Sure its levels are small and the game in general isn't very long compared to current Mario, but playing through it on the 3D All-Stars in 2020 was amazing. Definitely wayyyyyyyyy better than just an 'ok game' nowadays. That'd be like saying Super Mario Bros 3 is just an ok game nowadays just because 2d games are way more advanced now. Great gameplay doesn't age, and I can say with certainty that Mario 64 still feels and plays incredible today. I'm guessing it's much the same for OoT. There are certainly games from the N64 that haven't aged well, but these are not those. All three of the games in this thread were amazing when they came out and are still amazing to play today. Sure, graphically Prime has obviously aged less, but none of them have aged in terms of gameplay. |
Yeah I also feel like all three still qualify as great games today. Ocarina and Mario are obviously a bit ugly graphically due to their age, but that didn't stop me having an awesome time when I last revisited them. |
And honestly with the upgraded resolution of Mario 64 on 3D All-Stars that's like really all it needed. I'm sure playing the old standard def of N64 would look a bit blurry these days, but I thought the 3D All-stars game looked great and sharp. I mean you know you're playing an N64 game so it's not like you expect modern graphics. To me the graphics were perfectly fine and nice and crisp.
