Super Mario 64 ported to Microsoft's forgotten Zune HD

Original: Programmer ports Super Mario 64 to Microsoft’s Zune HD media player — the 2009 iPod rival runs the game natively on its Nvidia Tegra chip, with touchscreen controls and saves

A programmer has ported Super Mario 64 to Microsoft's Zune HD, the failed 2009 iPod rival, running the game natively on the device's Nvidia Tegra chip with working touchscreen controls and save support. The project is drawing attention as a striking example of retro hardware revival, showing that Microsoft's long-dead media player could still handle a full Nintendo 64 title.

Why now: People enjoy seeing dead tech resurrected to run a beloved classic, and the unlikely Mario-on-Microsoft pairing is inherently striking
