Creative Cat Productions | Super Mario 3D All-Stars is totally worth the price, if you’ve never played these great games before @creativecatproductions | Uploaded October 2020 | Updated October 2024, 46 minutes ago.
In September I got Super Mario 3D All-Stars for my kids....for Christmas. However, we were really surprised by all of the crazy hate this game was receiving and so I went ahead and gave it to them early. We’ve never played any of these games before now and so our opinion here isn’t colored by either nostalgia or the natural desire for Nintendo to do something new with these titles.....these are new enough for us.
So does Super Mario 3D All-Stars hold up? Absolutely. These are really good games....but I can understand how this particular package might disappoint Nintendo fans who were expecting something more. This isn’t a very “impressive” offering, not in terms of new content or extras. It’s literally just 3 old games stuck together.
Well, not quite. While all 3 games are essentially just emulation, at the very least the graphics have been “upscaled” to a higher resolution. The biggest beneficiary of this is obviously Mario 64, which looks way better than any N64 game ever made. I’ve compared this to the popular DS remake and I have to say, this version still just looks a lot better. And, for better and for worse, it plays exactly like the N64 version. I think that makes this, given the proper use of an analog stick, the single best version of Mario 64 that’s commercially available.
Anyway, we really enjoyed our time with this. I’m still playing these games now....especially Mario 64, since retro is my thing.
Hopefully Nintendo will do something similar with Zelda because I have always wanted to play the Wind Waker!
Thanks for watching!

Apologies to all our viewers who already watched this video or left a comment. We had to take down and re-edit our original video due to a copyright takedown for some of the wrestling footage we employed for an analogy about Blaze Entertainment’s performance over the last few months. Here is the new video, which is very similar.
—————————-
On December 15th 2022….weeks late….the Evercade EXP was finally launched. However, despite the extra time, it’s apparent that many of the new consoles suffer from a wide range of disappointing defects. The batteries offer far less juice than advertised; it takes hours to charge; cartridges are getting stuck in the unit; overheating issues have been widely reported, and some cases are so bad that its warping the plastic.
Making matters worse, and bizarre even, an entire truck (or lory) containing thousands of EXP Limited Editions intended for the US and UK market was stolen on December 7th, meaning that many customers were unable to receive their special orders in time for Christmas. Indeed, despite ordering their special editions on June 1st 2022, these customers won’t receive anything until March 2023….at the earliest.
Yet, despite all this madness, Blaze hasn’t issued much of a response to address the defects and there are reports that getting a refund from funstock is a lot harder than one might expect. This is a terrible situation for Blaze and a moment that could either make or break their future as an exciting alternative to the mainstream console gaming market. So much of what they have done has been so good, so it’s been disappointing to see them hit the canvas this hard. Perhaps its time for a recall, and a reboot of this promising new console.
