I know its lots of money spent on games. I know they arent cheap. But people will pay for them. My idea of super mario champions would probably be $69.99 instead of the regular $29.99 that the 25A release is. But people would buy it, and I bet it would fly off the shelves. Look at the 25A. That whole SNES port was on DLC already for $20. So you spend $10 on a book to celebrate 25 years? WTF? Lets say they just remade SM64. Okay, so maybe just that would be $49.99. Ok... people would buy it. I guarantee it. As for the DS SM64 remake. No I havent played it, but Ive watched a lot of youtube footage on it, and I have also watched others play it. Okay, ya its got a few extra characters, maybe 30 more stars, some basic graphics updates and a few extra features. Lets compare the storage capacity on an NDS media vs. a Wii U disc. HELLO? The mistake in principal was bringing a groundbreaking game back onto a little 3 inch portable only 8 years later. That was stupid. Now another 9 years has passed. They should never have done that and should have just waited until this current generation console to do it. They should have just waited the whole 15+ years and been like alright guys... celebrating 25 years.... heres a REAL SM64 remake... something like that. Im not saying they did it wrong based on the experience, I am saying they did it wrong in principal, putting such a beautiful creation onto that dinky little portable. BAD MOVE. I know SF64 got remade. Thats what I meant. Just didnt put the 64 at the end and wasnt clear. Sorry about that part. No I dont think SF64 should be remade again. But SM64 should be, and be done properly, and put where it belongs, the Wii U. Hopefully Nintendo has learned from their mistake, though I am sure it may be too late to fix it

I have been playing nintendo since I was old enough to know I am alive. I am now 25 years old. SM64 is entitled to a REAL remake. It is entitled to the respect it deserves. Nintendo may well not be in business but not for Super Mario 64. Everyone's eyes bulged in 1996 when they saw our favorite plumber in 3D for the first time. Now we want to experience that magic again. The remake on NDS was insulting. You don't remake such a hallowed game as N64 on a dinky little 4 inch screen. If you're going to do it, do it right. SM64 is 17 years old and only 16MB. Nintendo has spent the last 2 months crying over poor Wii U sales. Well, theres no better time like the present. Super Mario 64 is 16MB. We have dual-layer 50GB discs available now. HELLO?!?!?!?!??? Just IMAGINE what Nintendo could do to Super Mario 64 on one of those discs. It would be phenomenal, and I bet those low-sale tears would be wiped away in a heart beat. The thing is with nintendo. No one cares about Nintendo. Everyone cares about Mario, Zelda, Pikmin, etc. My 86 year old grandmother knows who Mario is. She doesnt know about PS3 or X-Box 360 or Call of Duty. She only knows the name Nintendo because of Mario. Everyone knows Mario. Nintendo needs to understand that with their position, the survival of Nintendo is dependant on giving people what they love: Which is Mario, Zelda, and the other nintendo franchises that have been around for so long. For 25 years, Marios girlfriend has been getting kidnapped by some giant turle/dragon and his minions, then rescued again. We want to see more of that. That horrific lazy missed-opportunity of a 25th anniversery party (SNES port) actually hurt my feelings and a lot of others as I read about it online. They need to right that wrong and do it properly. They used some 20MB of a .... how big is a wii disc again? FAIL. DO IT RIGHT. I know many nintendo fans want to see SM64 remade on the big screen with 2012/2013 graphics and sound. It would surely make up for the poor excuse for a birthday party that was simply a SNES port. What would happen if Microsoft bought out nintendo and became in control of the Mario, Zelda, and Pikmin franchises? Ya, that makes me want to throw up too. They pushed that envelope with the 25th anniversey scandal. I think a full-out SM64 remake could fix the damage. As for NDS remakes, HERES THE RULE: You remake little console games on newer little consoles, and bigger console games on newer big consoles. Remake Gameboy and Gameboy Color games on NDS consoles... Remake N64, NES, and SNES games on Wii U. Keep the little games with the little consoles and the big games with the big consoles. Dont mix and match. It doesnt work. I have NEVER played SM64 DS and I never will. I am waiting for them to get it right. Starfox got remade. SM64 should too. They could probably remake SM1/2/3 NES, and Super mario world with the NSMB Wii-U engine, and SM64 with up to date graphics.... put it on one disc... and instead of Super Mario All stars... How about "Super Mario Champions" 30th Anniversery Edition. How about that? Then put some featurettes on the disc, like interviews, tell some stories about the company and the games' development, maybe a couple of little minigames etc etc etc.... the possibilities are ENDLESS. But for the love of God at LEAST... AT THE VERY LEAST... Nintendo should give SM64 the respect it deserves.  We have 50GB Dual layer discs... THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!!
