The thumbnail is misleading. This looks crazy good in motion.
I am not going to watch the video. But in the thumbnail, I prefer the 1996 version.
That's just nostalgia glasses imo
I just watched the video and people would have gone nuts over the improved graphics in 1996. The other commenter is right that the thumbnail doesn't do it justice
Do they compare other games beyond Super Mario 64? Because just looking at a launch game won't tell you what the console can do
The video was just about SM64. I haven't seen the video creator before so I'm not sure if he does other games.
Some of it was a bit over my head but I think he implemented a 3d driver (?) that came later in n64's development which allowed for more polygons and stuff.
Either way, it was in no way an admonishment of the console! He's a fan demonstrating what the console was capable of, not dunking on how SM64 could have been better
Thanks. I followed your suggestion and watched the video. It is indeed a great improvement. Too bad the youtuber made a poor thumbnail.
Pretty interesting stuff!
