 Alright everyone today or tonight or whenever you're listening to this We're looking at Super Mario 3d All-Stars and it's kind of a graphical comparison However, this is more of just kind of looking at how incredible 3d All-Stars versions of the games look compared to the original and we're talking like OG, you know what it actually looked like back in the day Not like what you're gonna get on an emulator or like just straight off virtual console or something like that Before we get into that I want to mention we are giving away three copies of Super Mario 3d All-Stars Hit the green eye link down in the description to enter that also You can join at patreon.com slash Nintendo Prime for as little as $1 a month get to 15 entries in every giveaway We do we have a second giveaway as well for Nintendo switch light and then to switch games of choice Again like the way to enter that sound in the description as well. Alright, so This comes from Nintendo life By my good pal Alex Alex only I've talked to him before he's a good guy They put up a full nine-minute video doing a huge graphical comparison I will have that video linked down in the description There will be clips from that video throughout this one, but it will not like be you know the whole thing I'm not just gonna take this whole video here, but I don't want to talk about it so The reason I'm focused on him there's there's oodles and oodles and oodles of these graphical comparisons out there It's because of the methodology he used. Okay, so you're gonna see some screenshots and stuff here so the methodology used is Trying to get as close to what the games actually looked like back in the day versus today It's hard to do because we're not using CR CRT TVs and stuff like that especially with Mario 64 But here's what he did They used an original N64 But they got it captured Through the cleanest signal they could possibly get from it They use the ultra HDMI N64 mod The GameCube HD MK2 GameCube adapter and then a Wii U running in Wii mode That's the easiest way to get Wii footage And they converted it to a digital signal, which is what was available on the Wii which is actually Kind of tricky to convert it to a digital signal because you want it you want to make it a Signal that's representative of the time period, but still obviously make it captureable So this is basically as close as you can get to direct comparisons to what back of the day actually looked like versus Well now on this now as you're seeing in the screenshots and in the footage the game obviously looks Good, I think there has been especially in motion when you see the clips of it It looks really good in motion. I think what happened in this whole sniffoo Because the people think it's a low effort and it does look like Nintendo maybe tossed this together in six months or something like that And it's emulators But we can't undersell that the HD of these games Is a big deal like I wish that they were rebuilt from the ground up I wish they were full-on remakes and remasters or whatever But they're not what they are our resolution bumps But those resolution bumps are Very important if nothing else Super Mario 3d all-stars is proof that resolution matters We often talk about how oh the resolution is not what's important on switch Like there's games that drop to 360 p in handheld, but the resolution isn't what matters It's the gameplay that matters, but resolution matters these older games clearly look better I mean you could read the signs in Super Mario 64 now like resolution matters and I think it's always mattered it's just people have this funny way of Going through This 3d all-star stuff and being really excited for it as you should be But also maybe not being fair to how big of a deal just HD in the games really is I mean if Nintendo just did this to the entire GameCube and 64 we library Most of us would be Thrilled like how awesome would it be if they just HD'd all those games forget Remaking them and redoing the visuals just putting them in an HD resolution just uprezing how How happy would we be if Nintendo did that and here they did it to three of the best in my opinion? Mario games ever made and it does look really good You know Nintendo life you know claims that you know it looks you know miles better than the originals I think it looks significantly better. I don't know about miles better, but significantly better. I think that This is just reaffirming my purchase There's some people out there that obviously aren't happy with this we've seen the reviews We talked about that did a whole video about the reviews and my problem with some of the reviews not all of them but some of them but this is just about how big of an upgrade is this really and It's definitely noticeable and that to me is what matters. It is a noticeable upgrade It is noticeably a better experience the best versions of Mario 64 Sunshine and well Galaxy are on switch and that matters it matters that the best versions of these games are here now You can argue the best versions are ROMs on a computer running You know user made mods and graphical upgrades and ray tracing and whatever else people are throwing in these things on computers But that's besides the point the best official copy of these games are on switch and that matters It really does matter. I mean there's been so much hype for this game By the way, if you want to get the game early, hey, I did a video on that as well Again, I'm putting these little video annotations in so hopefully you guys are are catching on here As I'm trying to interlink the videos and give you guys an opportunity to check out some of the other stuff We talked about I also talked about how you can actually get Super Mario 3d all-stars for $50 on launch So check that video out too, man. It's it's crazy. So yeah, I'm just really thrilled about this I think the game compares very fairly decently well And you know what? I'm just gonna let you guys have you know a minute or so here of some of this footage With the sound on so, you know, maybe you can get more into the experience more into the ambiance All right folks. I'll catch you in the next video
