October 2017 Game of the Month: Super Mario 64

[A Former User]

I've actually never played Super Mario 64, but I've seen people play it. Maybe it's cause I was born in the 21st century. I also need to rev up my raspberry pi again, seeming as I haven't been online for the past month or so.

@lilbud Oh man... I swear I tried. But it's not an enjoyable game for my taste... Sorry.

I hope other guys join. And maybe next month we get something more "retro". ;-)

[lilbud]

After lots of digging, I found my proof

Super Mario 64
Played on Wii VC

Beaten with 34 stars

[lilbud]

@meleu Sorry to hear that, maybe next month will have a better game.

I haven't had time to beat it, but I've been playing!

I’ve never been able to get N64 games to work even kind of ok on a Pi, and I didn’t buy a N64 yet, so I’ve not been able to play. Hopefully next month’s game will be one that we can play on a Pi, since this is a RetroPie forum.

[lilbud]

@obsidianspider You could play it on the Wii/Wii U

[dankcushions]

@obsidianspider mario64 should be near perfect on a pi3 at stock settings. a few areas of slowdown, but you can complete it no problem

Really?

[Because it's time to do this.] 
Now. 
Or after I finish my homework.

[lilbud]

@itsnitro If you want to try to beat me

I have a little dislike for this system. But, as I never played any N64 game seriously, maybe it's just a unfair preconception. Will try more fondly this time.

Same here! I've played the N64 several times but this remebered me of graphics explosions and a awful controllers. As the RetroPie on Raspberry3 is not the ideal platform for the N64 - the gamechoice is a bit unfortunate but I like the concept of a Cheevos-RoM

Just for me as reminder!

OMG, I forgot our GOTM here!

Looks like nobody done the @lilbud 's challenge, "beat Super Mario 64 with less than 70 stars". Then, according to the rules, we need to collect suggestions and set a pool.

My suggestion is Akumajō Special: Boku Dracula-kun also known as Kid Dracula (NES).

EDIT: didn't find a snap video for this game, only longplays. Like this one:

Any other suggestions?

[lilbud]

@meleu Ooh, I've been meaning to play that game for a while...never got around to that. Also got a short list, what do ya think?

• Super Metroid
• Donkey Kong 94
• Super Mario Bros
• Earthbound

[obsidianspider]

I'm good with playing some Kid Dracula.

[lilbud]

@meleu Here is a strawpoll to decide. I close the voting sometime tomorrow

[meleu]

@lilbud i was going to do it. Good you did! ;-)

Edit: maybe it's a good idea to create another thread for November's GOTM.

[lilbud]

@meleu Good idea, I'll get on that.
