A remake of Super Mario 64
Super Mario 64, the classic 3D platformer for the Nintendo 64, arrives on the Nintendo DS with all-new features that take advantage of the portable system's dual screens, touch screen, and wireless multiplayer capability. Like the original game, Super Mario 64 DS challenges you to find all the power stars hidden throughout the royal castle in the effort to free Peach imprisoned inside the castle. This time, you can play as Mario, Luigi, Wario, and Yoshi, each of whom has unique abilities. Overcome the challenges on your own or battle up to three of your friends in the multiplayer modes.

Glad that SM64 is available to more people, although in my opinion, this isn't as good as the original. The multiple characters both add to and take away from the original experience, and the addition of more stars and levels is an unalloyed plus. I also probably sank at least as much time into the minigames as I did into the game itself. Really cool that they tried to remake SM64 rather than just port it over, even if it doesn't 100% land.
