It seems that everyone who ever writes about their first experience with polygonal graphics (not just SM64) has a reaction like this.
"Wow, this is so cool!"
"A 3D world and it's so big!"
"What is this analog stick magic?"
I wonder why I didn't. When polygons came around it was a natural move for me.
