then literally a few weeks later Nintendo announced the 3D All-Stars collection. Oh well.

Coming from more recently 3D Mario titles like Galaxy and Odyssey, I was shocked at how bad the camera and controls are for SM64 in comparison. I seriously just wanted to stop playing, but after an hour or two you get used it. I now find those things...tolerable. The game itself is still very fun to play. Exploring courses and finding new stars never gets old. It's just amazing how refined 3D Mario titles are today, and it's all thanks to SM64 paving the way.
