A Nintendo classic with its own new twist on things.
User Rating: 9 | Super Mario 64 DS DS
Though I only bought the game today, it has already grown on me quite a bit. I am a huge fan of Super Mario 64, the origanal version, and I found thhat Super Mario 64 DS is quite the fantastic update of Super Mario 64. However, it does have its small share of flaws. The game controls are slightly, well, out of control. When you turn around, for example, your character turns in a circle before going in the other direction, which is a huge problem on narrower and more intricate courses. The DS D-pad also poses a slight control problem. Unlike the analog stick on the N64, the DS D-pad only allows 8 directions of movememt. However, the use of 4 characters adds a perfect twist on a classic game. The graphics do, however, leave something to be desired of. They are hardly any better than the graphics in the Nintendo 64 version. The touch screen controls are slightly unnecessary and very difficult to master.
