Yeah, same!

Aside from forge levels, which are playing at 30 fps, and are technically designed well and are, for the time, high-poly. Sounds like it should be great!

It was not.

That’s a common opinion these days. On modern displays it’s easier to notice how crisp PS1 games were compared to the N64s inherent blur. On a CRT the differences weren’t as noticeable, especially if you used RF input like I used to

It's the textures, the N64 had a piddly amount of texture memory so you'd see untextured ugly polygons all day.

Absolutely! The game is so much better than you might expect. They gave Mario a loving gun.

One thing about the eshop to bear in mind...when you buy a game, you get a pittance of gold coins based on how much it cost. But when the game is on sale, they only give you the gold coins to cover the sale cost of the game.

However, if you buy an eshop code from another vendor and use it, nintendo assumes you paid full price and gives you the corresponding gold coins.

So what this means is if you can get an eshop code from say Amazon or whatever for the same sale price as the game has on the eshop, it's better to buy from Amazon so you get the full gold coins. If that makes sense.

Hit + to bring up the software information, then scroll down to the Nintendo Rewards program part. It can only be done once per cartridge, so if you're buying used it depends on whether the previous owner already got them, plus as mentioned it's only possible for 1 year or something after the cartridge is printed.

I think they just say that so people won't focus on the terrible name in the previews and quick looks. Then by the time the game comes out, it's been normalized

I’m the opposite, I prefer the blurry N64 textures over the weird wavy PS1 textures. Playing PS1 on a modern display always looks weird and twitchy, almost like there’s a wave filter over everything. Still love both consoles, though, blurriness and waviness aren’t game breakers for me.

Peripherals question, I’m not picky about having cases for Switch game cards when I buy them used if it means saving some money on them, but they’re also like the size of a postage stamp and just begging to be lost. Is there a good inexpensive route for storing game cards? I have a couple little carry cases that I keep all of my DS/3DS carts in.
