![]() Nintendo announced that physical and digital copies of Super Mario 3D All-Stars will only be available for purchase until March 2021. The game was not even a part of the montage that Nintendo used during the reveal to celebrate Mario's gaming history, leading fans to wonder as to why Nintendo would neglect the popular title.įurthermore, fans are also skeptical as to why the collection is available only for a limited time. Even though many fans are excited that the collection includes Mario's previous 3D adventures, some fans are upset since the collection does not include Super Mario Galaxy 2, which many consider being one of the best Mario games in the franchise. Super Mario Galaxy has also received some significant control changes, enabling players to either play the game using the Joy-cons on a TV or in portable mode using the touch screen.įans have been skeptical about the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection since it was announced. That said, Super Mario 64 did receive minor character enhancements, making every character look sharper in comparison to the original game. If this is actually the case, then there is a high chance that none of the games in the collection have been reworked all that much. Super Mario 64 also seems to be using an emulator, but the origin of the emulator is unclear. Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy will be using an emulator that is capable of running Wii and Gamecube games.

If we knew Galaxy 2 was coming – say, under a 3D All-Stars season pass – we would be able to swallow the pill more gladly. It’s to be expected from Nintendo, which is infamous for refusing to drop prices on their first-party games even years after release, but a disappointment nonetheless. It’s worth noting that the $59.99 / £49.99 price tag is still a lot for such old software, especially without a substantial remaster. Either way, the limited release doesn’t bode well for the future, with it looking likely any future compilations to get the same treatment. While Super Mario Galaxy is included, though, the lack of its beloved sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, is a glaring omission – though it could be coming in a separate pack or DLC down the line.
