Super Mario 64 DS (DS)

Mario is back for more fun on the Nintendo DS! This excellent game is a remake of the Nintendo 64 version, and comes with a few extra features too! The gameplay is excellent with plenty to do, and you also have the added bonus of mini games! I find the mini games particularly addicting, and sit there trying to get high scores all night long! Unfortunately, this game doesn't support Nintendo Wifi, so you can only play by yourself. Having said this, you can actually play wirelessly against a friend using Nintendo DS wireless download play. It is a fantastic game, having been the very first to launch with the Nintendo DS. Therefore, mine actually came bundled with my DS, ...  Read the complete review

I honestly belive that apart from Animal Crossing this is without doubt the best game for DS. You start the game as a character called Yoshi, then as you play on you unlock Mario, after that you unlock Luigi and finally Wario. The basic storyline of the game is Princess Peach bakes Mario a cake, Mario goes to find Peach to collect the cake with Wario and Luigi and ... Bowser locks them all up so until you beat Goomboss (he's a boss) you can't get the key to unlock Mario. Each player has their own wacky power Luigi's is water run, Mario's is wall jump, Wario's is Wario wack and Yoshi's swallow. There are lots of levels - my son's favourite is the Jolly Roger ...  Read the complete review

Lets get it out in the open, this isn't an original game it's a remake of classic N64 game that was embrassed by millions. However, that doesn't mean this game isn't good, in fact, I would say in all honesty that it surpasses the origninal game in a variety of ways. Firstly, the intuitive touch screen controls on the Nintendo DS system make gameplay significantly easier but still present the much needed chanllenge of mastering these controls. Secondly, with the addition of a bagful of new levels and mini games, the game lasts longer and presents more replay value. Thirdly, the graphics are only slightly better but it seems the camera angles that hounded the original have ...  Read the complete review

Well it was my birthday, so I really wanted to get something that I could play on my beloved DS. When I was younger my first ever computer based present was an Nintendo 64. The graphics weren't bad and the sound was ok but it was nothing like we have now. My poor Nintendo 64 broke around 5 years ago and I sold all my beloved games including Super Mario 64 which was one of my favourite games (apart from Goldeneye.) While browsing through the new Argos catalogue, I found the game now avalible in the DS format. It would be great to have it again. What Is It? Super Mario 64 (NDS Format) is a take off, of the original N64 game. The game has 4 playable ...  Read the complete review

Super Mario 64DS is a conversion of an old N64 classic. As a cutesy platform game it is an ideal conversion for the DS. With its simple controls, dual screen and wireless multiplayer possibilities the DS is ideally suited to this style of game and perhaps this is why Super Mario 64DS is by far the biggest selling DS game currently available. As with all platform games there is little in the way of plot. The old adage of "princess goes AWOL" familiar to all Mario fans and indeed generic in all platform games is repeated here as the evil Bowser has taken her hostage. However, a clever twist is that Mario, his brother Luigi and an unlikely ally in the ...  Read the complete review
