Super Mario 64 DS Critic Reviews continued...
The word ‘port’ doesn’t really apply to this game, in fact it is really a little bit mean. This is a full on remake, and whilst the core of the game remains the same, Nintendo have moulded new ideas and features on to make one glorious lump of DS

The DS is out now, and it's too late for an analog stick, but it's absence hurts this game immensely. Nintendo thought they could successfully simulate analog with the touch screen, and for the most part it's accurate. You'll move your thumb around on

on it. Tantalizing tidbit: Wario makes us nervous. He reminds us of that creepy uncle we tried to avoid at family BBQs, the one who always had gin on his breath and plenty of lollipops in his pocket. Buy, rent or run away screaming?

Super Mario 64 DS is something all DS owners should look into. This game is great for those gamers who were huge fans of the original Mario 64, while those people that missed it the first time around will finally get a chance

Let's take the Way-Back machine to eight years ago. I was in college, getting my roommate and friends all addicted to video games on the Super Nintendo. We were pretty happy with the likes of Chrono Trigger, Final Fantasy 3, Yoshi's Island, and even some

In the end, it all comes down to confidence. You can launch a console - or, in this case, a handheld - at any price point and with all the promises you like, but if you don't walk the walk and talk the talk, then you're destined for trouble. Nintendo

Knowing that people would be lukewarm to the idea of a bare-bones port, Nintendo wisely included a fair amount of new features and peripheral content. We now have the option to play as Luigi, Wario, Yoshi, and... (you guessed it) Mario! This is a nice

Nintendo executives say playing the same old games is getting stale, so they've created this system to bring new life to games. Analysts and industry insiders speculate that Sony's upcoming PSP (short for "PlayStation Portable"), due early next year, may
