gaming take, ☠️💻 

super mario 3d all-stars: $60, limited time only, requires a switch

pirating sm64, sunshine, and galaxy and playing them on emulators: $0, available forever despite nintendo's best efforts, requires only a somewhat decent pc, also gives you access to a whole world of sm64 romhacks

re: gaming take, ☠️💻 

@typhlosion this is all true

but you can't exactly carry a PC that is capable of playing those games on the go now can you

re: gaming take, ☠️💻 

@typhlosion that and the 16:9 hacks for super mario sunshine aren't the best due to clipping issues

@EeveeEuphoria i mean, laptops are pretty portable... but yes that's true

re: gaming take, ☠️💻 

@EeveeEuphoria i know, i was being facetious :V

@typhlosion you can also play the PC port which runs amazingly and removes limitations the N64 has

@typhlosion i love how nintendo hates emulations, yet they go ahead and pull this crap

love capitalism 🙄

re: gaming take, ☠️💻 

@sc i mean this is *why* they hate emulation

(y'know, except when they use it in their rereleases)

@typhlosion Someone even ported the SM64 PC port to Switch, and it seems to be quite a bit better than the official port (since you get widescreen and don't get the shitty HD HUD that the new port has, plus you can swap in your own HD textures if you want)
