El33tonline Review: Super Mario 64 DS (DS)

Super Mario 64 was a landmark in console gaming: it heralded in the new era of 3D and set the gold standard for all future 3D platformers. So when Nintendo needed a game to launch their new experimental handheld which had roughly the same computational power as the N64, they turned to the classic. The resulting game, Super Mario 64 DS, remains a fantastic game, but the lack of an analogue stick means the quality of the controls is not quite up to the standard of the original.
