It took me until seeing this video to realize the painting on BOB is marching bobombs, not a bunch of bombs in a line covering their "mouths" with hands they don't normally have

W video This game deserves infinite analysis

i genuinely don't get how people like barbuta, its such an awful game, probably the worst ufo 50 game. when i first played it, i started to regret buying ufo 50 because i wondered if all other games would be like this, empty, slow, and no music. i even came back to it multiple times to try and ive spent around an hour and i couldn't figure out anything. the farthest i got was collecting 150 gems and getting trash and an umbrella. the game is awful, it doesnt explain anything, the clues for what your supposed to do is so small, its so boring because you walk at the speed of a turtle trying to get anywhere, and nothing in the game makes sense. -1/10 game i dont get the hype for it. edit: i had to search up what to do next and found out what the umbrella does which unlocked the entire new part, i even got it before, just didnt know what it did, and i havent played much after, but i think my opinion has definitely changed. i now think that its an alright game, just wish that they would explain what each item does, made the clues a little bit more visible (like the non flowing acid or fake walls) and made you faster and added some more music, it would be better. overall after finding out what an umbrella does, changed to a 6.5/10

How do I play this???

DS version should’ve been the one included in Mario 3d All-Stars, it’s by far the better version of Mario 64

Last time I saw you was when you had 800 subs

GG

I think it would be funny if you could still find Yoshi on the roof, like Luigi meeting Luigi in Super Luigi Galaxy

They missed a big opportunity when they didn’t remove all the water levels.

A lot of the game areas don't wan't you to use Yoshi. A famous quote: "Why does the universe hate Waspinator ?"

The sole benefit to the N64 version is that it's more vivid lol. DS has better performance 30 FPS vs 20 FPS(64) Better models and textures Extra content (Luigi poker, I need not elaborate further) And fits in your pocket. Also multiplayer (with a single cartridge no less)

Tall, Tall Mountain added an owl which turned it from arguably one of the most tedious stages to my personal favorite in the game.

In ds you don't have to worry about invisible walls

this is actually so charming in a way

Even as a kid I thought the original was better, DS dpad aside

I remember the Day of Play. We just played video games and/or watched a different channel instead, lol.

Would love to see someone go over even the most minute changes in geometry and general changes between SM64 and SM64DS

this game is great and the nds will never not be relevant, as the best portable console 3:55

You can make Rainbow ride much less anoying using luigi

This game but with 3DS circle pad is the best experience

we need a 3th remake of mario 64 at this point

Potential unpopular opinion. But I feel like most changes downgraded the game heavily outside a few bonus mini worlds. The new character additions were far too underutilized and many stars were dumbed down to insane levels.

They fakkd the grass in first level man. Looks sad and bland.

7:58 WHAT???

5:30 you can just put on a cap

it was controversial? young me with my new fat ds just wanted to play my favourite 64 game on the go. without watching the video, in my memory I would answer this as a definite yes

I’m pretty sure you were the person who recommended me to play this game basically, thank you. I have now beaten it but I got really lost and sadly had to use a guide. Only really one problem I have is the limited coins, because you can quite literally be soft locked out of the route you planned on doing.

i had the exact same first experience that you outlined, but barbuta really clicked for me when i got into a call with a friend and just streamed it with him. the process of discovery was enhanced so much by having a partner naturally notice things, we collectively got our minds blown at some of these secrets. this game is just so good man

When I first played UFO 50, it was on the couch with two friends on my Steam Deck. I booted up Barbuta... and was absolutely entranced. The game was abrasive, slow, and after game over-ing once, my friends were ready to move on. I was hooked, but moved on for the sake of my friends. But Barbuta's place as the first game in UFO 50 is so masterful. By placing such an unapproachable game first, it teaches players that not every game in this collection will be for you, and that it's okay to move on! I handed the controller to my friend who accidentally selected Night House, and then that game hooked the rest of them immediately, and we just started jumping around. UFO 50 is great, and I would love to hear more of your analysis on the other games!

Great video!

Nice pfp

The idea of using the Hats to "fake" the other characters bothers me more than it really should. I never lie to Koopa, I just go do other stages until I actually have Mario. Can't explain it.

I was so moved by this game I was thinking of making this video. Glad you did it instead, mine would not have been as eloquent anyway!

I don't think that Barbuta is "bad on purpose", so much as it's being authentic to the design of games from the period it's emulating. The storage and processing limitations of home computers meant that games had to be brutally difficult in order to extend the play time to more than ten minutes or so. If anything, it's probably far too lenient when you compare it to stuff like Jet Set Willy - which is similar in its design language, though the items are just collectables that you need to pick up and confer no new powers.

1:19 dude I’m not even sure you’ve ever actually were supposed to think that wall was real in the first place.

No

Barbuta caused a bunch of people to harass me, so I don't know if i'd call it "incredible" 🙃🙃🙃🙃

First game I played in the collection and I spent a good hour or something on it my first time. I love games that let me explore hostile, uncaring labyrinths and Barbuta did not disappoint. I've mapped all of Metroid 1 and Megami Tensei 1 out by hand on paper with a pencil and have happily been drawing out maps for Barbuta, too. However, it's only my second favorite game in the collection to Mooncat, which is actually unironically my GOTY for 2024. I've put about 8+ hours into it just replaying it endlessly and seeing how fast I can go and how much more I can push myself with the tech, and the atmosphere alone completely floored me the first time I played it. Great vid! UFO 50 touched me in a way most modern games just can't. Would've payed 25 happily for just Barbuta and Mooncat, but they gave us Divers too. :D

Great video! <3

Would genuinely love for this to become a series, (if you do feel like you have things to say about the other games on UFO 50, that is)

You convinced me! I actually want to try this game now.

sir this is a wendy’s

Barbuta? More like Midbuta. Gottem!

Yoshi CAN kill the boo to get into BBH, but he has to ground pound it and he can't eat the ghosts.

The extra stuff is awesome and the inclusions with SM64DS was fun for what it was but movement, momentum, and game feel is everything in platformer and the lack of analog killed it for SM64DS. SM64 has its issues but it's peak as far as Mario's movement goes, only to finally receive real competition in that respect in 2017 with Mario Odyssey.

YOU CAN PUNCH THE TOX BOXES AS WARIO? i thought wario throwing players in the multiplayer mode was the last extra moveset thing i was gonna learn about 64ds

try the new 3ds or 2ds series.. maybe just maybe it would....

The only way mario wonder wins as a 2d platformer against nsmb ds is if you exclude the "new" super mario games

The DS version feels more like a romhack instead of an actual official game, and not in the good way

I've spent a good deal of time thinking about the history of Nintendo's design philosophy changes over the years. And they're more and more reaching the point of "If you don't play the game in the way we intend, you're playing it wrong." Part of what made SM64 so fun for me was that it had a larger possibility space for each star. There are lots of ways to do most of the things in the game. And if you weren't good enough for one thing, you could often do it in a different way. Everything I've seen about the DS version suggests that Nintendo was pushing more towards "There's one right way to play this game." It's not as pronounced as their later games, but you can definitely see some of it. Ceave covered this while talking about a challenge run he attempted for the recent Zelda game where you play as Zelda. It's a very interesting view on things, and I think explains some of the backtracking. And backtracking seems to be something Nintendo likes these days...
