Remake or Rebreak (ExoParadigmGamer) – Super Mario 64 vs. SM64 DS
Remakes are a tricky thing to get right, as they most of the time, fully re-create the source game and add a lot to it. Sometimes this works out great but other times it makes the original game worse. Mario 64 was put in a very odd situation regarding this, as it got a remake for the Nintendo DS launch back in 2004. The remake adds a lot of new content to the base game but due to different controls … Read More
