  1. This ain't Banjo... It's been a long, long time since I played an N64 game. There are certain things you forget, that are distinct to that console. "Jank" I believe is the modern term. I don't remember the platforming being as weird as it is here? Perhaps because I was used to how the platform worked regarding 3D jump mechanics at the time. Fast forward to now and it is jarring to say the least. Jumping is precise and quite unforgiving. Ironically, you cast no shadow to judge if you will land on the platform you are aiming for. There was an infuriating little jump early on, along the way to acquiring the Asson that brought out a little frustration. Later exemplified in areas involving death traps and (early game) one-hit KO lava. You have a dodge mechanic. But it doesn't work as smoothly as you might expect, coming into this from the perspective of modern From Soft titles etc The remaster gives us camera control with the second stick. It is both an improvement and not. Nowhere is this better demonstrated than in the swimming mechanics. The first time I swam in this game. I tapped the action button, as standard and promptly drowned when I couldn't right myself. Later, I discovered the problem and it's solution. You don't use the action button to swim... You use both sticks. Forward on the left stick to move and steer with the right stick. If it sounds like tank controls, it basically is. But being in the water, it does become intuitive quicker. Ultimately my first session went on for about an hour and a half. Collecting four Dark Souls. The second weapon in the Asson and 66 Cadeaux. Quite intrigued to continue at this point.

    Super Mario 64

    Come on then, we've had people's thoughts on the DS "remix" version, how about the original? This was the first thing I saw on the old 64 and it blew me away. I knew I'd get the machine once I'd played on this. Goldeneye then sealed the deal! I don't know how many times I've played this through but it's still a corker. Even though everyone complained that Mario Sunshine wasn't a step-up from this, they forget how much better Sunshine looks. Go back and play this now and it doesn't look quite as impressive. Still it's a ground-breaker in every way. The only thing stopping me from buying this is the fact that I've played it loads and it is 1000 points which makes it the most expensive game on the VC.
