A YouTube video with VHS footage from Nintendo's Japanese Space World show from 1995 has seemingly given us our first-ever look at the multiplayer mode with Luigi that never saw the light of day in Super Mario 64.

Can't wait for them to sell this in a new package with other half-assed Mario ports for $60.
- Can't wait for fans to make a better product than their port in every way, only for it to get demolished by Nintendo lawyers less than 70 hours after release
  
  Yes that actually happened just a few days ago. Shit like this is why it's always morally correct to pirate Nintendo games
  
  I mean, there are 3 big multiplayer mods for sm64 that I can think of offhandedly. Nintendo has been hands-off with them for at least 5 years now.
  
  there is a reason none of those are actual products.
  actually selling them would probably only make the lawyer's job easier.
  
  And the SM64 PC port has existed for years at this point and has no sign of being taken down. You know why? They don't distribute copyrighted assets. The people that made the Link's Awakening port screwed up, plain and simple. There's no other explanation for why their project gotten taken down and not SM64 or OoT ports, which are monumentally bigger games for Nintendo.
- Can’t wait for myself to buy this in a new package with other half-assed Mario ports for $60.
  
  I have no self-control. 😥
  
  Consider piracy lol

  Yes this happened. The game in question was also 30 years old. This is why it's always okay to pirate Nintendo games
L is Real
- Please tell me I'm not the only one who ran around the fountain in the courtyard 128 times to try to get Luigi in my game
  
  If you wish so:

- Isn't it not supposed to happen until 2248 or something?
  
  I think it was 2401, so you are a tiny bit off.
Didn’t the DS re-release have multiplayer? I remember playing as Yoshi but I’m not positive if it was different gameplay or just different graphics.
- Not in the main game, but there was a battle mode I think. I know you could have multiple people running around some small island.
- it had a ds download play multiplayer with small pvp minigames iirc
- I don’t think it had multiplayer but it did have different playable characters (with Yoshi — not Mario — being the default).
Plz
