NDS What's your opinion on sm64 ds?

First game I got along with the DS. No one could talk to me that Christmas

It doesn't surprise me that it gets a lot of criticism for the D-pad, but at the same time it was the version I had as a kid, and I loved it. More characters, more stars, I thought it was the superior way to play SM64. I'm not even sure if I've ever gotten all 120 stars on the N64 version, but I definitely got all 150 on the DS. It's a shame I don't still have my copy.

I prefer it over the original for the simple choice of having a run button to compensate for the d-pad movement. And also Luigi was a very fun if somewhat overpowered character to try old stars in some new ways. I really couldnt stand the more limited moveset of Mario and the greater sensitivity of the analogue movement when i replayed the original some time later. Though a lot of that is still my general frustration with the slope physics that are likely the same in either.

Prefer the N64 version. Playing with the d-pad and being forced to start as Yoshi soured it for me. Loved the mini games, though.

I was really good at that minigame where you were supposed to find a character hidden among other characters

I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't made a full party game.

On the other hand I wish Mario 64 on the N64 didn't have Mario make a half circle just to turn back and having less frames for wall jumping.

What an evil Nintendo game!!! This game was sponsored collectively by all the casinos in Las Vegas to brainwash kids just to make them lose their bright future with a gamble that the house always wins lololol.

i'm a pro poker guy right now i'm still not broke cause i don't gamble too much fortunately but sometimes i play poker with my buddies than a cheating casino lol

It was the first version of 64 that I played!
My opinion is similar to the popular opinion: it was an odd game to make on the DS, but I loved the new content it added and some of the aesthetic changes it made were good (not all. Bob-own Battlefield looks like a disaster to me, but I love what they did to the previously more simple stages like Wet Dry World).

Nowadays, I swear by 64 on original hardware with the original controller. In my opinion, this is a game where precision is key, and the more movement your stick has, the better. DS isn’t unplayable, but it has clear and obvious issues that make it hard to recommend. I still love it and say “play it if it interests you”, but you need to recognize going in that it won’t be a definitive version of 64. It’s more a variant, and when viewed in that sense, it’s pretty sick!

One final note: why haven’t they built on this 3D Yoshi gameplay?! He handles great here, and all his moves function great! I’ll never get over how Yoshi has been so poorly handled in 3D (even if games like Wooly World still come out to be amazing titles that are worth playing).

I think as a plus version it's very good, I only have things to complain about, that you were forced to play with the pad and especially that they didn't make a port for 3DS where you could use the stick and that you were forced to use the other characters to get the metal powers and transparency.

They N64 remake streak stopped too soon imo...

F-zero X could've gotten one.

I was surprised to see all the reactions online later that so many people struggled with the d-pad, though I think it's probably because most people tried using the DS lite d-pad. I always thought that d-pad was a major downgrade from the original DS design.

I 100% agree, the original ds d-pad is great, its really sad we dont have screen mods for the original ds, playing with that washed out screen is so sad.
