​

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.

Good idea but would have been better if they did a better Mario anniversary collection. They messed up with the wii by just giving us Mario all stars when they could have put some gameboy games and now they messed up with this. Don’t get me wrong, I know it’s called 3D world but they still left something out. Could have put some 2D games still, hopefully that becomes a surprise.

They could have at least did Mario All Stars + World for the Wii but no, they wanted to save that 1MB of space.

I lowkey hope they somehow improve the camera of Sunshine since that game gave me motion sickness on the Wii.

Last I checked there was no StarTropics 3.

Ooooooooooohhh... To bad that Galaxy 2 wasn't included. But maybe next year we get Zelda 35th year?

 

[HarveyHouston]

The history is interesting, at least. Look forward to the re-release of Super Mario Sunshine - about time, Nintendo! :gamecube:

...What? That's not an emoji yet? It sure as heck needs to be.

They showed absolutely NOTHING worthwhile here.

3D World, with its frustrating Nessie stages and clone cherry, alongside playable Peach and Rosalina? Forget that; should've ported over 3D Land, which was far more enjoyable and worthwhile.

Why not remake 64 DS for the Switch, since it has 30 more Stars, three more characters, and in general is a far better game than the original? It's not an "All-Stars" if it doesn't have the objectively superior game.

And Galaxy...screw off. Rosalina can go eat shit, the drop from 8 to 3 HP is ludicrous, and extreme linearity is frustratingly boring, and the six motion-controlled Stars can go die. Worthless piece of garbage.

Well I'm happy, which is an extremely rare thing and even rarer is me actually buying a game

 

[EDMIRE]

Nintendo is selling you ROMS and ISOS with nothing more than fixed aspect ratio... LOL
Who'd buy that?

At least update the textures or the 3D models?
No?
Okay...

these are complete ports based on source code and aren’t emulated ROMS/ISOs. Also the games are gonna run at full 1080p so it’s more than just a fixed aspect ratio. Also other companies do this all the time and get away with it but the moment Nintendo does everyone has an issue (btw tons of people asked for these games without upgrades so...)

I asked for 64 DS, not the original. I never asked for Galaxy or 3D World.

worthless comment.

 

[AkiraKurusu]

worthless comment.

Not worthless - it's my honest opinion. What is worthless, was the content of that Direct.

 

[Darkworld92]

Why would anyone have both a Wii and Wii U hooked up, rather than just the Wii U that can play everything the Wii can?

240p, native GC controller support and Wii's superior video output.

 

[M7L7NK7]

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.

No n64 netplay at this stage

 

[Bladexdsl]

and Wii's superior video output.

you must be joking

 

[depaul]

Mario 3D World still looks gorgeous to this day.
I wish they would include 3DS titles SMB 3D Land and New SMB 2

 

[Darkworld92]

you must be joking

lol it's a proven fact the Wii has a better video component than the Wii U, which means yes, Wii games look better on the Wii.

 

[Deleted User]

Well, too little, too late.
I killed on the go both SM64 on years ago then Sunshine on GPD.

I'm happy for people who couldn't do so before.
If you excuse me, I'll stick to the MCC collection during my daily transportations.

 

[|<roni&g]

Meh, nothin special. Tendo can't keep up, recycling yet again.

 

[Naendow]

I've asked myself if Sunshine and Galaxy are maybe running on an Emulator.

I mean, the Chinese Nvidia Shield sold Mario Galaxy too, which btw is emulated, and the Switch has pretty much the same hardware. That is a pretty interesting aspect imo.

 

[Obveron]

Whats with the limited sale window. I know Nintendo likes money, so what gives?
