So, since Peaches Castle from Super Mario 64 has 871 Polygons, and that there are about 512,000,000 Castles in one castle that means there are 445952000000 polygons in one Castle made up of castles. And also because there are 152 Castles Made up of castles in the Nintendo logo seen at the end, that means there are 6.7784704e+13 Polygons, and I don't know what that means ._.

[@banditboogaloo]

One thing you should know is that you would need a nasa computer to run that many polygons, and even that it would lag like hell :D

[@Eichro]

I'm pretty sure the lore is that there are 512,000,000 castles total, not in one single bigger castle.

[@aphexGIBA]

I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in design college, and a classmate brought this video and another one that was supposedly of a Super Mario Advance 3D and showed them to the class. I remember that we were perplexed and at the same time uncomfortable, because in 2005 all of this seemed too utopian. When I used VR glasses for the first time, decades later, I IMMEDIATELY remembered this video.

[@DevilMaster]

I bought my first VR headset in 2005, mere months after this video. It was a Z800 from eMagin, and I used it with my PC and the nVidia stereoscopic drivers. A newsgroup about consoles was full of Nintendo fans, eagerly waiting for the "Revolution" to come out, but when I told them that they could already do that on a PC (I even appropriated the Revolution's catchphrase, "Play games, make games, the eyes feel games") somehow *I* was the party pooper. Then, when the Wii was revealed, and the whole gimmick was a motion-sensing remote control, those turncoats started talking trash about the product they had been expecting for months, calling it useless, saying nobody ever wanted that, and defended the Wiimote as if it was their child, calling it really innovative.
