Dry Dry Desert rendered in 2D

For fan service, this 2D treatment of the classic Super Mario 64 is pretty damned good. It’s not stunningly high quality, but if you loved Super Mario 64, you’ll definitely get a kick out of this.

There is something to be said about the nostalgia kick going on; all the kids who grew up playing Nintendo are now old enough to program, design, and publish their own video games. Is it any wonder they keep throwing back to their happy memories of yesteryear?

I’ve not played through more than the intro of SM63, so I don’t know how much of the game has been copied over from SM64, but there’s definitely enough here for some casual lunchtime gaming.
