We are in Spain's national TV news! Had a chance to talk to the TVE news crew alongside two of the game's directors Magnus Jansen and Ditte Deenfeldt. So cool to see our game #AvatarFrontiers shown in mainstream media like this!

Look, I know that porting the Nintendo DS version of Super Mario 64 would have required Nintendo to update the textures a bit (vs the simply blurry textures of the original). But come on, there were plenty of improvements made to that version that would have made it so worth it!

Years ago a former Activision producer told me: "After launching a Call of Duty, do you know how many leave Activision because they're burnt or want to leave the games industry? ~50% How much did we care? 0% Because we will always have people who want to work on Call of Duty." 🤮

This is like an absolute dream come true for me! I've always loved @digitalfoundry 's in-depth analysis, and during #AvatarFrontiers ' development I kept thinking "what would they say about this and that part?". And now? Now I'm watching them be impressed and I'm crying with joy!

I actually had to double-check that this quote was correct. It is. It comes from 2013, after the Wii U was already being considered a commercial failure and the 3DS had gone through a lot of troubles at launch.

And that's before we even take into account the fact that the DS version has 4 characters in total, with different moves each, new levels, more stars per level, additional boss fights, new abilities... Will that version of Mario 64 be forever forgotten to the DS?

Just look at Bowser, even his DS model feels so much more up to date than the original. In fact, all enemies have updated 3D models on the DS version to match the current styling of the Mario brand. Some even go from being 2D sprites to full 3D models!

@mingledorff @Doctor_Cupcakes Actually I'd say the DS version tried to be less realistic, and instead takes some further steps to look like classic Super Mario. In any case, this whole topic seems pretty divisive. I do wish there was an option to choose between the original game or the DS version though.
