We're not telling you we're wrong. You posted this on a speedrunning forum, so obviously we are going to talk about its implications in speedrunning. If you want to talk about casually playing classic speed games, talk to your friends.

i actually thought about this and i would say it should be its own Switch Subcategorie.

I heard the ports will be sold for a limited time only. I don't think it would be worth getting it anyways because I'm pretty sure you could just play it on an emulator for free. Plus, SM64 is 8 megabytes, meaning it could smoothly run on a chromebook.

Several points here:

  1. It's actually unknown on the version of the game since Shindō Pak Taiō version or not as that version was NEVER localized in the west. If I recall correctly the VC version was the original N64 release at least here in the states. So this would actually require localizing that version on top of everything else.

  2. There has of yet been NO TEXT in any of the game's screenshots, trailers or anything else on Nintendo's official site and even trying to watch the trailer for SM64 only beings up the trailer for 3D all-stars. HOWEVER if you look at sunshine and Galaxy's sections you see that they have their own unique trailers talking about just those games while SM64 DOESN'T.

  3. The game will probably be treated like the original All stars since it's possible to run all 3 games as 1 category.

  4. As far as everything else goes although Nintendo has officially said it's going to be a limited release they have yet to say anything regarding the digital version never coming back or that that might not get an updated version like the original All stars where it had a version released with Mario World. The have YET to imply or say that the games WON'T still be on the eShop, ONLY that 3D all-stars WON'T. They might in fact split it up into the respective games and sell them individually.

Anyway I may not run Mario 64 but with a lot of the little things that would confirm which version ir is still unknown namely text localization also the fact that some of the sunshine and Galaxy stuff seems the same "Shine Get" still appears in the JP trailer for sunshine although I don't think that matters much but the text not being shown does say something.

Pika makes a valid point, I've seen him on several forums just disagreeing with people. Also, to answer your question redhead, download an emulator called Project64, there should be a link in the Discord or if you go to the Resources tab on speedrun.com. Then download an SM64.z64 file and add it to the folder where you keep your roms. Then map your buttons to however you want (including connected controllers) and jump-dive to your heart's content!
