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.

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

Protip: you'll probably play better if you're not typing at the same time.

I was never able to beat champion's road, but I beat the main thing in odyssey as you know. I only played champion's road a few times, so I'm determined to beat it on the switch version.

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

Yeah, it's really noticeable in round textures. That doesn't necessarily mean it's not emulated, because they could still repack it into an n64 file.

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,

You do you

I was never trying to say it wasn't emulation and would honestly love for it to be emulation as it means they at least have a working n64 emulator on the switch

I'm a bit on the fence about it. Emulation would be great, but we have a near-perfect N64 emulator already, and native would be better for mods. For the other games though, it would be pretty massive to have a Gamecube and Wii emulator, if they do turn out to be.

 

[ShadowOne333]

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

We can't tell yet, and probably we won't know for sure until the games are either leaked or released on the 18th of September

what pushes me over when it comes to wanting it to be emulation is I do actually have an alright time with nes/snes online play with my friends and n64 games with online play would be really cool

Even if SM64 is emulated, it won't be anything close to online play, more so since SM64 is single player.
I am not 100% sure, but I think RetroArch has netplay for N64.
I could be wrong tho, but I know it has netplay for other consoles like SNES, Genesis, NES, etc.

 

[Steel-Winged_Pegasus]

With all this talk of Sunshine and Galaxy 1 possibly being emulated, I'll keep my hopes low, even though I would very much like for that to be true. Could totally dump the game for use on my emuMMC and inject Path of Radiance and Radiant Dawn into the game if it ends up being true~

That being said, I ate up the news like a fool when I saw the Direct and preordered two physical copies, one for me and another for my niece, because even if they're not emulated, I'm mildly stoked for the bundle. Hopefully it was early enough (I ordered at like noon EST) that I avoided scalpers like the plague, because fuck knows that stuff like these tend to sell out super quickly because of them and Nintendo hyping it up.

my implication was it leading into there being an n64 nso app...consdering how they added snes at the 1 year anniversary of nso payment starting chances are n64 may be next

I find it a bit funny how when they showed the SNES Mario All-Stars they were careful not to show Mario 1/2 screens with bricks being broken as that would show the problem where Mario jumps into bricks instead of bouncing off.
A rom hack exists which only changes one value from negative to positive which fixes it entirely.
Nintendo couldn't lift a finger for even that but, could bother to hide it in the trailers.
A minor issue sure but surprised they didn't take the chance to finally change it but I guess we have the NES games so whatever.
Least they didn't put the rom on a single disc like on the Wii that one time then charge near full price for it, I guess.

Galaxy 2 is not included... very strange.
I'd have loved to see Mario 3D Land get a port, Mario 64 DS and maybe a Mario Kart good measure but, that's honestly a bit too extra for Nintendo.
Start a whole collection series and bring over the Luigi's Mansion games, old Mario Karts, Smash Bros, Mario Party collections.
I guess not.

I suppose Mario must be really unpopular to warrant such a limited release.

Mario 35 however, free sure but it's gonna be unplayable in a year and that's just kinda dumb.
Could keep making money on it reusing the sprites from Mario Maker 1 and do competitions like Tetris 99.
I don't get it, why make either of those games limited?
It could only help sales for the entire console's life and the next if its compatible.

I feel like they could really milk it too, maybe by adding new game modes, like SMW and NSMB. That would keep things fresh and draw in new players.

 

[Rail Fighter]

Were people actually expecting Nintendo to do anything worthwhile to any of the games?
You guys expect a lot from Nintendo, they just want the easy cash grab.

Nintendo is dead, they will just keep reselling Mario All-Stars for the rest of eternity.

Good thing they're not selling it.

Why are you posting on this thread again?

Haters just need to stop!

 

[wartutor]

Just pre-ordered me 4 copies may scalp a few.

 

[Silent_Gunner]

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.

Portability means nothing when you spend a lot of your free time at home and your job doesn't have an hour long break.

 

[StrayGuitarist]

And? It's up for pre-order. Go get yourself one.

P.S. The Digital release is also limited.

Oh, shit, I thought just the digital release was limited. Damn my ignorance. Well, here's hoping I can get my hands on one.

That is very interesting. I never knew about this difference! I've played SMB on both NES and Snes All-Stars but didn't notice anything weird. Of course I was not a pro-level gamer back then lol. Will check out the rom hack!

Anyways, I feel like it would be weird for them to alter a rom. The whole idea of the NSO emulators seems to be emulating the games faithfully. It's also interesting if anyone at Nintendo still remembers that difference. And would go out of the way to tell the video editor(s) to not use footage of that. It may have simply been coincidence.

Do you mean 2 as in Lost Worlds or the other SMB 2? Never got to play either on a NES, only All-stars. Suppose I can search the net for more info then emulate

---Edit, I didn't double post! --

I kind of want to order a physical cart.. The 'limited edition' effect is strong on this. Not that I'd ever sell it, I still have my Super Mario Bros. All-Stars snes cart.

It's strange it ends on the end of their fiscal year. I feel they will sell each game individually on eShop after that day. (Then hopefully a Zelda collection!)
