After months of speculation, Mario 3D All Stars has been announced. To celebrate the series’ 35th anniversary, Nintendo has revealed a slew of new events and games. Mario 64, Sunshine, Galaxy, and 3D World are coming to the Nintendo Switch. In addition Super Mario Bros. 35 was announced, which is a 35-player online game set in the original Super Mario Bros world.

In a new video presentation released today, Nintendo detailed several games, products and in-game events that are all arriving for the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros.This includes games new to the Nintendo Switch family of systems like Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a collection of three Super Mario games of the modern era: Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy; Super Mario Bros. 35, a 35-player online battle in the world of the original Super Mario Bros.; and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury, an enhanced version of Super Mario 3D World which originally launched on Wii U.

The game will launch on September 18th. It will be sold physically in limited form, and on digital until March 2021, after which it’ll be pulled from sale.

Holy shit I just actually read the PR, they're not selling it AT ALL after March 31st?? Meaning if you miss out, you're just fucking fucked. GG Nintendo, nice anti-gamer practices.

forgot the quote said:
Please note: Super Mario 3D All-Stars can only be purchased until March 31st 2021. Owners can still play its entire contents after this date has passed, and can also redownload it from Nintendo eShop if the software has been archived.

Yay? I guess?

Wait, does pro controller have analog shoulder buttons for sunshine?
Nope, no analog triggers at all on the Switch, so they either either figured out a way to get around that (I'd guess holding the button doesn't keep you in place anymore) or they just expect you to deal with it.

SNES All Stars again but the 3D collection is nice. And in just a little over 2 weeks! Any idea how Mario's FLUDD control works without the GameCube shoulder buttons?

Looks like this is going to be Nintendo's big Christmas plan. Thought they would at least announce a Famicom coloured Switch Lite.

Uuuungh. Maybe i can use the official gamecube to usb adaptor (the smash one) for it.

Hooray for no-effort releases that don't update anything. Did they forget the effort they put into the first one?

They said the collection isn't being sold after March 31st, so there's a possibility that they'll sell the titles individually after that. That's weird and doesn't really make any sense, but it'd make more sense than them just letting the games vanish into the ether so I'm gonna choose to believe that's what they're doing until proven otherwise.

There are some games on the Switch that act as a collection but will put separate tiles on your dashboard for each game, so if this does that then I think there's a chance they'll sell them separately in the future.

Since it has an extra shoulder button, maybe ZR is 66% water pressure, R is 33%, together is the stop-and-shoot 100%

Wow. I really want to be excited that these are here (and to an extent I am) but they just barfed these games out and did nothing to fix them. 64 and sunshine have blatant design flaws that I thought would surely be addressed but... Nope. I can't even make myself play all the way through sunshine because the camera and control are atrocious. Lets not mention the fact that you can play it in FULL WIDESCREEN with the homebrew version. Sunshine wouldn't have even been that hard to fix... Just gate progression behind number of shines collected instead of reaching the 7th shine in each level and the major issue in the game would have been solved. Galaxy is fine as is. It's not my favorite game but it is by far the most polished.

OH YEAH (I'm just typing as I go) WHERES THE SM64 DS CONTENT??? I honestly would have preferred they port that game with analogue controls as it is far superior. The physics feel better and there's tons of extra stuff.

Galaxy 2 is absent which I prefer. Both galaxy games are good but if you're going to vomit one might as well vomit both. Since there's so little improvement maybe... maybe it will be easy to use layeredfs to replace the levels???? Probably not

Finally. I wonder if this is a form of emulation rather than straight up ports. If it was emulated.... It would be a lot harder to make a game such as 64 widescreen... Not to mention the fact that so little effort was put into improvements. It probably isn't emulation but if it was that would be pretty huge. At that point we could probably replace the .iso/.n64 files to play whatever Wii, gamecube, or N64 game we wanted.
