With this unofficial PC release, the floodgates have opened to high-quality HD Mario 64 content that just can't be matched by comparatively primitive emulation. If this is true, then Super Mario 64 needs to be more than just a directly emulated port, like the Wii U Virtual Console version. Rumors have been circulating for a while now that Super Mario 64, as well as other 3D Mario titles, may be released in a Nintendo Switch collection before the end of 2020, possibly called Super Mario All-Stars 2. When downloading anything from anywhere, users need to be vigilant in protecting their computers from viruses, so buyer beware. The ROM still exists for players who know where to look, but it's still technically illegal internet activity.
Nintendo struck hard and fast when they cracked down on the illegal PC port of Super Mario 64.
