​

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.

If it's an emulator, can we finally see N64 / GC / Wii games on the Switch?

That's what we are all hoping for.
N64 has been a thing for years now through RetroArch.
GC/Wii games are the only ones which can't run at decently in HOS homebrew, but hopefully, if these are emulated games, we could probably see injected GC/Wii games in the not so far future.

But they'll probably charge $30 each for them individually.

I'd say it's just as much to create some artificial scarcity, like they did for the Metroid Prime trilogy (and Kirby's Dream Collection) on Wii. Adds a bit of collector's value to the physical copies.

Who's to say they won't produce more copies once things return to normal?

Payment will be collected no sooner than seven days before the official release date, and the download will start immediately upon the successful completion of payment.

maybe prepurchase is seven days before?

No disrespect for the people on here but some of you guys are pretty weird. Most begged for 3D world and Nintendo actually gave alot of stuff in this direct and it is still complaining . Me personally I'll just bootleg 3D World and also the 3D All stars via NSP when the game comes out no need to complain on my end. I can already play the games they revealed on my PC since I'm already half way through 3D World on my Wii U emulator (very fun game)

This is going to sell for the small children who never played these so I will give this direct a 10/10. This is very good content for BRAND NEW PLAYERS. Old school players why are you suprised they actually did what I suggested the only thing they should have done was also include 3D land and Galaxy 2. I guess they are holding out for a 2nd release to squeeze more $$$

I'm one of the few who didn't like 3D world, the fact I bought it, beat it once and then sold it should say something.

I'm with you as well.
I didn't enjoy 3D World as much.
It feel really weird, more like a 3D version of NSMB if at all.
Didn't have that 3D Mario feel to it to me.

Heck I might be one of the few ones out but I didn't really enjoy Odyssey neither, I felt it too boring and empty.

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.

Welcome to the Chad that is emulation going up against the Virgin Nintendo port!

In all seriousness, if I could replace Mario 64 with Galaxy 2, I'd do it in a heartbeat. If one seriously wants to play it, there's ways to do it on the Switch, phone, tablet, and any modern PC.

Yeah, I getcha. Personally I'm coming from the rare-on-GBAtemp perspective of that who is someone who has not hacked their Switch yet. (I like having access to online, personally!)
And ya can't emulate these things on an unmodded Switch!
Really, I'd say to many here, it's incredibly easy to ignore these ports though, especially so if playing on the Switch itself isn't a requirement. They're barebones ports from the look of it, and nothing that can't be done by stuff like Dolphin and the Mario 64 decomp on a computer. I'd have to imagine Sunshine and Galaxy's releases will be of use to those with modded Switches, though - especially so considering the possibility they just could be ROMs in an official GameCube/Wii emulator.

Now, as someone without a modded Switch, I'm buyin' the collection. Call me a sucker all you want, I am one. I already have access to these games, I just want a solid excuse to play them again without bootin' up the Wii.

3 games at $20 each bundled together isn't that bad

Debatable. Considering that Mario 64 isn't even running at 16:9/60fps... When a free project does. I'd pay no more than $10 for that. Super Mario Sunshine is a maybe. Galaxy without Galaxy 2 is meh. $20 for the inferior version?

Might happen, but it's usually these collection games in particular that Nintendo likes to do limited runs on.

 

[Souperman9]

As a modder, I would almost prefer a native port rather than emulation, as it makes modding significantly easier, at least for me.

 

[Tweaker_Modding]

having this as a limited time offer is basically the middle finger to those who aren’t fortunate to get it

I also love how they announced Mario Bros 35 and thats why took down the fanmade browser one

R.I.P Infringio - He was too good for this world.

I never played Mario 64 nor Sunshine I did play Galaxy for a bit on dolphin but I hate the knumbchuck motion controls. I liked 3D World because of the achievements and the stamp collection I try to get all 3 stars and the stamp on each level. Honestly most Nintendo games you can play on PC.

If Yuzu can play Odyssey , Crafted World, and the pokemon games honestly no reason to even buy a switch,

 

[godreborn]

I'm playing 3d world at this very moment.

Is there any way to confirm if it is an emulator or a port? or just when the game is released?

 

[aerios169]

Well if it will be limited i hope that we can play it in other ways if u know what i meant

 

[Kioku]

If Yuzu can play Odyssey , Crafted World, and the pokemon games honestly no reason to even buy a switch,

Portability? Y'know? One of the big selling points of the system? The fact that it has an online community that is alive and thriving?

I mean.. If none of those appeal to you, then you do you boo. There's reasons, they just may not apply to you.

Of course you will. Someone will rip it and upload it. It's inevitable.

 

[jt_1258]

it's nothing to crazy but it seems like they might have touched up some of the textures in sm64?
