Re: Anniversary: 25 Years Ago, One Of The Worst Video Games Of All Time Hit The N64

Lofoten

Any N64 Magazine fans or former workers lurking in the shadows?

I have a secret:
I own the N64 Magazines review-cartridge of this game.
With the magazine name written in permanent black marker on it by a mystery person, presumably someone in the magazine.
It was won in a competition, where they handed out old stuff from the office.

They awarded it 14% in the August 1999 issue.
"Verdict: An utterly hopeless, consistently appaling leper of a 'game'. Bordering on the illegal."

The Superman 64 review was written by Tim Weaver, who now writes books:

Re: 'Mario Builder 64' Is Super Mario Maker For Mario 64

Speaking of 3D Mario Makers:
I think a "Super Mario Kart Maker" from Nintendo is a not too far fetched 3D-posibility in the Maker-series.

  • Placing the roads, jumps, powerups, obstacles, enemies and so on.
  • Driving on land, under water, hang-gliding through the air and driving up walls in zero G.
  • Different seasons.
  • Change the time of day: Morning, day, evening, night.
  • Different weather types.
  • Different area-types.
  • Different game worlds from the Mario Kart universe, Mario universe and other Nintendo universes.
  • Number of tracks or one long track with checkpoints.
  • Closing/opening up roads on different laps.

Sooo many possibilities one could utilize.

Nintendo did make the Track Editor for the Nintendo Labo Toy Con 3 Vehicle Kit.
I have never played Labo though.
Anyone who tried the Toy Con 3 Track Editor? What did you think of it?

A new Mario Kart is rumoured for the Switch 2,
which is about time as Mario Kart 8 did come out 10 years ago.
(10 years ago!)
It could have a track editor...

"his work, which, we should warn you, is often difficult to watch – especially if you're used to treating your gaming hardware with respect."

I did not see that warning until after watching the video.

I think i have PTSD now.
That was 13 minutes of raw horror.

With creativity and lighthearted fun sprincled all over.

I'll just lie down in the fetal position and cry now.
