3-D gaming done right.

What better way for Nintendo to start their VC service with Super Mario 64 as one of the launch VC games. The cult classic that introduced Mario in true 3-D has returned on Nintendo's downloadable service and it's still over the top as it was back in the day. I was hoping for them to fix the camera problems, but then again, masterpieces are better left untouched when finished.

All the gameplay features are back with the classic triple jump, long jump, back jump, and wall jump actions. Everything that you've known and loved is back with 120 stars to collect and numerous levels to explore. Overall, Super Mario 64 is a blast to the past (I know, it's a corny saying). If you've haven't gave this game a try, try it now! Quick!
