Not another Ultimate Comparison: Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Galaxy

You know the drill here.

definetly Super Mario 64, I was not a fan of galaxy at all :(

SMG wins.

I still love SM64 so much, but in terms of overall polish and perfection, SMG took the greatness of SM64 and polished it up perfectly.

The only things SM64 have over galaxy are slightly more open levels, slightly harder difficulty,and nostalgia.

Other than that SMG is superior in almost every regard.

Super Mario Galaxy

Super Mario 64. The difficulty is more up my alley.

Definetly SMG. Not only did it feature top tier gameplay, but it was like playing a piece of art. The game was just simply amazing.

SM64, while also one of the best games ever, just didn't seem to feature the same level of "Wow" factor that Galaxy had. I mean, you were in freakin' space.

I can't pick one :(, they are both so good.

I started gaming on the Master System. That's a straw man argument.

But how can you call out reviewers for some things you think are absurd, yet you try to call out a persons age due to their opinion differing from yours? I mean, that argument can be viable sometimes, but here, nah, it's a straw man argument at best. And SMG is the bestest 3D platformer ever.

Super Mario 64.I really just didn't like Galaxy very much. The level design was creative, but the game was just way too easy for me to enjoy very well.

Nah. SMG is just better than SM64.

Altough SM64 was great, SMG was similar enough that, unlike Super Mario Sunshine, it isn't exactly like comparing "apples to oranges." Super Mario Galaxy blew Super Mario 64 out of the water any way you look at it, based on the musical score, the leve design, the pacing, the story, the graphics, and pure innovation.

SMG any day of the week.

More like finding out who bases their choices on nostalgia. I've been gaming for 18+ years and I can say without a doubt that SMG is better. Better levels, mechanics, controls, cammera, graphics, and music = better game. For those saying talking about difficulty, go back and replay the game. The main thing that makes the game harder than SMG is the awkward cammera.

bu...galaxy is fricken art man. ART.

Both are fun, but SMG was an overall better game.

SMG. SM64 is plagued by a lot of issues that are ignored because it was revolutionary. However, bring revolutionary for your time still doesn't make a better game in comparison to now a days and frankly, SM64 doesn't have the core imo to go toe to toe with Galaxy at all. I can see those perefering 64 due to more open world structure but that by no means makes it better, just different. I wish people wouldn't equate open world with better, espcially when most of the best platformers are linear.

Due to nostalgia, I like 64 more, but Galaxy is better.

OwningSM64, as well as Sunshine and Galaxy I'd have to say Galaxy is the better game. Now upon release, I'd say SM64 had a greater impact and that whole "AHH and OOO" factor definitely can not be matched by today's games. But SM64 has aged and comparing it head on to SMG, it's just not as good. I'm sorry, but nostalgia, outdated controls, outdated graphics, and simple platforming elements (by today's standards) won't be enough to put it ahead.

Or those who have different opinions from others that MIGHT, just MIGHT not be influenced by some sort of evil fanboyish force, but are just based on regular old personal preference...
