Super Mario 64 was released back in 1996 as one of the Nintendo 64 launch games and was the revolution for 3D based platformer games.

Even today, 17 years later many games are still inspired by that game and use gameplay elements which were introduced with Mario 64.

Its a damn great game and the screenshots of the upcoming Super Mario 3D World for the WiiU make me think that the new game is going back to its Mario 64 roots.

Don’t understand me wrong, Mario Galaxy is great too, but a journey back to the roots would be damn cool!
