And honestly M64 had godawful controls and camera. Unless you're Siglemic I dunno how anyone finds it playable.

This. Are people just voting for SM64 simply because it's the last representative of the Mario franchise? Because it's nowhere near the *best* Mario game, much less the best overall game.

A) It's not the last representative of the Mario franchise (Sunshine, Galaxy)
B) Nostalgia is a powerful thing; SM64 was the first console game I ever played, and I imagine many are in a similar boat.

I think he meant in the bracket, not the last published.

I really enjoyed Mario 64; it would only be fourth or so among all Mario games, but the better Marios have been eliminated, so I could definitely see myself voting for it... if it weren't up against my favorite game.

None of this matters, because I believe that Portal is going to smash whatever wins in that matchup, and for very good reason.

Also, wanted to point out how amused I was by Matias' comment (following my "surprised" post and the subsequent Mario 64 discussion).

Why Pokemon got anywhere near anything with the word "final" in it... and Portal for that matter, I don't get the appeal.

Mario to me was my first non handheld console game. If I were to do a list of all the games I've owned or played, it would come out in the top 5. Certainly the top of the Marios. (maybe Sunshine would beat it now, not sure) Galaxy was way too linear, I liked the way I could go into a land and choose what star I was going to get It was also way too easy for me. The hard bits were not hard, they were just frustrating. I don't sit down and remember any fond memories of it, where with 64, I remember defeating King Bob-Omb for the first time, right the way through defeating Bowser. It was a memorable experience which only a few games have replicated.
Mostly retired. Unless you ask or it's something interesting.
