How revolutionary was to go from Super Mario World to Super Mario 64 in 1996?

>it wasn't revolutionary
>it wasn't that big of a deal
>you MUST be a zoomer
literally every fucking thread asking about the contemporary reaction to a great game lmao, it's fucking pathetic how many people are dedicated to trashing the memory of great game...

That being said, 3D at the time felt amazing. Every real and invisible wall enticed us to explore and look for secrets and hidden levels. Most of the time they never existed but the ones that did (Yoshi on the castle roof) made us dream and speculate on endless secrets hidden away in these seemingly endless 3D worlds. Lile we looked at the sky textures and said "maybe we can get there..." it was a special time.

How revolutionary was it for /vr/ to be inundated with questions OP already knows the answer to?

uhm well ackshually sweetie jumping flash came out first and just because nintendo made the first actually playable and fun game in 3d doesnt mean anything because they technically werent first and youre a cultist for thinking otherwise, did i mention nintendo bad and Im a big boy mature gamer.

>>11867687 (OP)
I remember not liking it.

>How revolutionary was

>>11867709
>Jumping Flash instead of Geograph Seal
Look at that Sony cultist...

I never played it but I remember seeing preview screenshots of it in a magazine and being blown away by it. The third dimension was like someone invented color when everything was black and white.

These threads are boring. Go read articles from the time instead of making them.

>>11867687 (OP)
I don't think I've been as excited to play a game as much as when I was waiting to play Mario 64 after seeing all the ads and stuff in magazines at the time. But I was 13 in 1996 and there wasn't AAA games coming out non-stop like there is these days too. Maybe if I was 40 at the time I wouldn't have cared as much.

>read article or book about game's reception and legacy
>try to talk about it online
>"LOL ZOOMZOOM! THERE WAS ANOTHER GAME THAT DID THOSE THINGS BEFORE THE GAME YOU SPEAK OF! IDIOT!"

Stop pretending to be a janny and stifling conversation.
Hide the thread and leave, loser.

>>11867828
Anon there's 12 of these threads per day.

>>11867687 (OP)
I was 6 at the time and it was so mind-blowing that I spent HOURS just running around the castle courtyard basking in the 3D movement and graphics.

>From a disappointment coming from SMB3 to an entirely different game

There were already tons of games that let you explore huge 3D worlds especially on PC. But apparently adding bing bing wahoo to that makes it a revolution.

Dead board, killed by zoomerposting and bots.

Why do tendies act like SM64 was the first 3D game ever?

>>11867687 (OP)
>When Nintendo invented 3D
Everybody had already seen it in arcade games and computer games. And the Sony Playstation that was released a year earlier.
Revolutionary for consoles where 3D was extremely slow and shitty on previous gen machines.

If only Doom added a jump button...

If you like nintendo after the age of 10 you need to grow da phucc up

>>11867845
Oh yeah? Link them.

>younger people come asking "obvious" questions to chantards
>this bothers you
So, what, you want to have /vr/ be nothing but oldfags jerking off over obscure games and topics they've never heard of before?

I'm trying to get people to realize retro video games are objectively better than modern slop, if you would kindly fuck off.

>>11868059
You sound like a redditor

>>11868059
2/10 trying too hard

>>11868072
he is shitposting, ignore.

>>11868059
>>younger people come asking "obvious" questions to chantards
>and getting shit made up by even younger people in return

>>11868059
We're not your retirement home, stop coming in here just to ask dumb questions about the "good old days". You either know or know someone who was there.

The thread's already dead, you don't have to bump it after killing it.

>>11867687 (OP)
Very revolutionary. There weren't any 3D platformers that played like SM64.

>>11867687 (OP)
Since everyone is being an asshole to OP, Ill answer earnestly.

I cant really use the word "revolutionary" because I was just a kid. At the time I didnt follow video game publications, so my contact with video games was restricted to what I played, which, at the time, was only 2D games.

So yes, seeing Super Mario 64 for the first time was shocking/impressive I remember having a lot of trouble with the controllers and general navigation in 3D space. But even then I knew I never wanted to play a 2D Mario ever again.

I got it for Christmas in 1996 when I was 12. The perfect age for it.
As such it was magical, mind-blowing, insane, fantastic, etc, etc. Top five gaming experiences of my life.

>>11868284
Also it wasn't just going from Super Mario World to Super Mario 64.
Players around my age were at a perfect age to have started playing on the NES, have gotten a SNES at some point between 7-10 years old, and then got the N64 at 11-13.

So you're going from starting off playing Super Mario Bros. on the NES and then there's this epic ride of 90s video gaming (which actually starts in 88-89) that leads up to the fifth generation consoles being this culmination of technological promises over the years.

I wasn’t around then but I can only imagine.

Its absolutely unbelievable how mean people are to a dude asking a question about a video game. Go get a life

>I got it for Christmas in 1996 when I was 12. The perfect age for it.
More like the perfect age to get bullied for playing literal bing bing wahoo instead of Resident Evil.

tzd when?

I always wanted to explore the city in the skybox of WDW.
Fun thing is, because it is based on a real city, just composed and then tiled over and over you kind of COULD.

>>11867828
Here's a way to avoid this: frame it as a discussion about the the things you (didn't actually) read. Don't endorse them outright. Simply ask others for their thoughts. If you have questions of your own, raise them. You might find agreement. You might find answers. You might find new sources to check out. You might spark a debate about the accuracy and/or trustworthiness of the source. Likely all of the above. Regardless, that sort of discussion would be far more grounded and fruitful than whatever this is.

>>11867698
Shut up retard, we still haven't officially decided what could have been done to save the Saturn, Dreamcast, Lynx, Gamecube, NeoGeo CD, Sega as a whole, a why it was called the Sega System among several things so when you say everyone knows the answer to these questions just know that you don't know shit!!

>>11867687 (OP)
As for this game wasn't revolutionary at all, ot had no effect on how governments operated and/or who was in charge of them.

>>11868379
Yup, the only way to generate discussion here any more is just to larp out of your ass and let autists correct you.

>>11868385
I generate tons of discussion here and don't need to larp at all lol, of people don't reply to you maybe it's because you're not interesting.

>>11868340
I think it's just (You) who doesn't want to talk about retro video games.

>>11868379
>all the words
Hide the fucking thread, loser.

>>11868405
I don't think I will.

>>11868336
>3D platformer designed around having limited space for levels
>alone in the dark-like with "scary" tank controls
Oh look it's 2 styles of games nobody wants to play anymore because they only looked good for a few years in the mid 90s.

>>11868534
>alone in the dark-like
faggot
