Anyone who had an N64 will have a soft spot for Pilotwings 64. I can remember looking at the box for my console (which I put back in the box every time after using it for the first couple of weeks and kept out by the TV like a trophy), and seeing the images for Pilotwings 64 on the box. It was an amazing launch title and showed us all just what the N64 could do, bringing us into the 3D era alongside Super Mario 64.

Mario 64 runs unoptimized on native hardware. And it’s a mistake that it does. Hackers switched on optimization that was code into the game but never used and the game runs much smoother in emulation even without recompiling.

If that’s anything to go on, I think these games being completely recompiled would inherently run better even on the same specs as the Nintendo 64.
