pretty good

Just give me that level editor, please.

SM64 DS had new textures and I'm sure you can force an emulator to output at 1080p if you wanted.

Well Nintendo has nothing to do with the emulators...

Mario seems plasticky (sic) and stiff, and there's way too much bloom for my taste, but I salute the effort!

Here's hoping they also fix the camera and controls and make it so you don't get taken out of the level every time you get a star .

It really doesn't. I'm saying this as someone who's first consoles were the PS1 and N640, who played Mario 64 back in the day and who thinks a good number of those games still look good. When I picked it up it a couple years ago for the first time in 4 years, I was surprised at how much worse than I expected the graphics were.

What I mean is, making something HD from something not HD takes 30 seconds of work.

The hard part of an HD remake, the texture/lighting upgrade, was done by them. Therefore they have done 99.5% of what it takes to do an HD remake of Mario 64. And the other part you can do yourself.

Mario 64 DS may have had new textures but it certainly didn't have HD textures. Though, looking at a comparison between the two, I'm impressed by what they got out of the DS hardware.

First 25 seconds: kinda cool
The jumping around brick platforms at the end: get this fucking abomination off my monitor

I want Mario 3D HD collection.
