SuperMario 64 Coming To a Browser Near You!

Posted by samzenpus on from the play-time dept.

Billly Gates writes Since Unity has been given a liberal license and free for non commercial developers it has become popular. A computer science student Erik Roystan Ross used the tool to remake SuperMario 64 with a modern Unity 5 engine. There is a video here and if you want to play the link is here. You will need Firefox or Chrome which has HTML 5 for gamepad support if you do not want to use the keyboard. "I currently do not have any plans to develop this any further or to resolve any bugs, unless they're horrendously game-breaking and horrendously simple to fix," says Ross.

    Yeah, thanks but no thanks. I got rid of Flash and Java because they're security holes. I'm not going to install anything just to run a stupid game.

    Furthermore, mentioning "HTML 5" is pointless if it requires a plug-in.
