A
computer science student named Erik Roystan Ross has recreated the
first level, Bob-Omb Battlefield of the popular game Super Mario 64 in
HD, using the Unity Engine and has released it for free to everyone.
Though this game was initially launched on the Nintendo 64, users can
now play this game in the browser as well.
Currently,
Ross has no plans to further recreate any other levels for the game,
dubbed Super Character Controller. According to Dsogaming, the computer
science student said that, “I currently do not have any plans to develop
this any further or to resolve any bugs, unless they’re horrendously
game-breaking and horrendously simple to fix.” He added that, “This
project is provided as-is, and you are free to use it for any purposes
you like, with the exception of selling it for profit.”
Initially,
Eric had planned to make just a part of the first level but got carried
away and finished the entire level, points out Technabob. The report
added that, Ross made all the art and animations for the game, except
for the ones for Mario, the Goomba and Power Star, which he borrowed
from Super Mario Galaxy. The background music and sounds for the game is
similar to to the existing Mario games while the UI elements are based
on the original Mario 64 user interface. Erik claims that though the
replica of the game is not 100 percent accurate, users will not have any
complains against it, added the report.
An
earlier report suggests that, Super Mario was to go mobile as Nintendo
was planning to venture into smartphone games. Nintendo, which already
warned its annual operating profit would halve on weak console sales,
said it was teaming up with online gaming firm DeNA Co Ltd to develop
and operate gaming apps. The two companies will also launch later this
year an online membership service accessible on mobile devices as well
as Nintendo’s existing Wii U console and the portable 3DS.
