I would like to take this time to officially announce that Game #1 will be getting replayed next on The Gaming Beatdown. Starting Saturday November 12th, 2016 it will be Super Mario 64. This was one of three games that won the 5-Year Anniversary Replay Poll.
It's finally time into the Replays for the channel. Back in October 2016 during the 5-Year Anniversary the winners were announced for the Season 5 replays. That you the viewers were able to vote on. This year I will be doing 3 games that I previously have played on the channel. Our first game to be played, that placed first in the poll is Super Mario 64. This is also the first time the game will be replayed on the channel.
Super Mario 64 was originally played on the channel back in October 14th, 2011 - October 22nd, 2011. It was the first game to ever be played on the channel, making it Game #1. It was originally emulated on the stream using Project 64, since at the time I did not own a capture device to stream the game on an actual console. This was also at the point, I was only starting out on casting so this was before my show was even called The Gaming Beatdown. The quality wasn't as good like it is now, and everything was well... ghetto looking. Yeah it was a pretty dark time on the channel. Things have sure changed since then, and this game is long overdue to be replayed.
The last time I fully played through Super Mario 64 hasn't been since 2011. So please keep in mind that my memory may be a little rusty when it comes to remembering were all the Power Stars are, but for the most part it shouldn't be that bad. I have played countless Super Mario 64 ROM hacks since then, so I do have specific levels memorized on were stars could be. Just like before it will be a 100% playthrough of the game, so all 120 Power Stars will be collected. I don't think this game will take long to beat either, I am predicting either two streams at most, maybe 2 1/2 depending how much is left on Day 2 of the playthrough.
So with that guys, Super Mario 64 is Game #1 (Replay), begins on Saturday November 12th, 2016 only on The Gaming Beatdown. If you missed the announcement trailer for this playthrough you can find it available down below.
