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.

You just wait until the 100+MB download for it :^}

I doubt one SNES game can be that big in file size.

Never doubt Nintendo and their stupidity lol

Although already mentioned here numerous times, the biggest disappointments are definitely no widescreen in Mario 64 and no Galaxy 2 whatsoever.

Who knows if they will really stick to the limited release timeframe forever, but they did manage to get me to shell out $60 for the cart instead of waiting around for a potential price drop.

Spoiler: I mean, you ain't wrong...

maybe you can't prepurchase yet. I tried on my system, and it shows preorder for both 3d all stars and 3d world.

Nintendo is now lower than Sega standards.

Fucking goofy ass limited release. What the hell is up with that. I personally don't care how bare-bones these releases are, just very weird 64 isn't 16:9 if Sunshine can be.

I know it kinda sucks but I'm still hyped.

No kidding, wonder how Galaxy is gonna control with the Pro controller though

Confirmed that Galaxy will either have original motion controls or handheld with touch screen for pointer so no pro controller

Let's not forget that time Nintendo fucked up so bad that they had to basically re-add the whole game engine into a DLC for one game.

That time being with New Super Mario Bros. U and the New Super Luigi U DLC.
They basically made you download the entire game again in the DLC.

According to this we should have a metroid direct next year some time

Somebody will have to explain to me why Nintendo had the 300 IQ idea of making this a limited release available until March 31st. I know that this kind of nonsense works for Amiibo and the Nintendrones will jump on it anyway, but there's no reason why it should be artificially restricted like this. There are no licensing issues to speak of, they're all Nintendo first-party titles.

So that afterwards they sell the titles as separate products instead of as a collection.

Pto Controller has gyro and an extra stick though?

This, really...
Nintendo, is this all for Mario 35th anniversary? What a shame. They are literally selling the same games again without any effort and some of them for the 10th+ time.
I will buy 3D world as I skipped Wii U, no way I'm buying something else they announced today...

Not even a Splatoon/Super Mario keyring?

What would be expected on an anniversary? I'd expect old and old-inspired titles celebrating the past

That's a good point, and if that's the case, I'm not totally opposed to it - I could pick and choose what I want our of the bundle.

That way we can ditch SM64 for the PC one and use Sunshine and Galaxy from the bundle :^}

 

[MeAndHax]

nothing new announced except "Bowsers Fury" whatever this means...

I don't see much of a point, both of them can be emulated with increased resolution. I'm only interested in the "new" stuff. If I ever want to play the old games, I can just play them. I never quite understood purchasing an old product that isn't enhanced in some meaningful fashion or offering new features unavailable in the original if you already have the original, you're just buying the same thing twice.

I'm hopping Galaxy 2 will be added or sold at a later date.
Also... Why do they hate the Super Mario Land series so much xD

 

[limpbiz411]

where is galaxy 2?
