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.

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

probably too tight arse to make carts they just want to go all digital now

But digital is also unavailable after March 31. Nintendo are actively avoiding potential sales after that date, makes no sense.

Not sure if this has been mentioned already sorry if it has but looking at the video Super Mario Galaxy needs detachable joy cons which makes sense the same as the wii version but this cannot be used with the standard switch lite unless you have a spare set of joy cons. That could be a problem I assume..

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...)

No one can confirm that yet, until the games are leaked or released, we won't.

But seriously, when has Nintendo actually ported a game from 2 or more generations ago into current gen instead of using emulation?
All evidence points towards emulation, since they've always done that for re-releases of any kind, just look at all the previous collections they've done over the decades, and same for re-releases..
The only proper ports from source code they've done are the WiiU games, but that's about it.

There's no way to collect star bits or use the pointer though, so it may as well be forced

In handheld, you can use the touchscreen, I think. SMG is noted to support touchscreen, so I assume that's what it's for.

Not in docked, so yes, it's forced to use it in docked, lame. Really hate how small Joycons are, so yeah, fun times /s

the pro con has motion controls built in i remember using it to aim the bow in botw. so you'll be able to use the pointer with a pro con

Hmm still skeptical, but I'm still pissed about a digital game, you know, something that can be copied infinitely, is limited. Seriously, Nintendo, that's some petty BS move on their part. No wonder people pirate their games, feels even more justified in this case. I may as well preorder it, but still.

Wait until it's not available anymore, then get the NSP. :^}
They can't claim piracy on something not being sold anymore lol

Exactly, it's not my problem but Nintendo's

 

[Bladexdsl]

more than likely all 3 games will be available separate as digital only downloads. surely they wouldn't pull another metroid prime trilogy?

I hope they fix the camera in Super Mario Sunshine.

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.

Simple. Begging for your money.
Limited edition => more people would hop in to buy, or at least that's their (twisted) logic.

These ports seriously look so effortless. Just a quick cash grab, just like it has always been with the other Switch ports... (which make up almost the entirety of its library)

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

you must be joking

The image is far superior on the original Wii imo.

There's also Priiloader, and you can't use the GCN controller on Wii games on the Wii U.

Moreover, I think they want later to sell each game alone, and charge 30$ at least for every game.

As far as I remember on the wii version you always had to use the Wii Remote with the Nunchuck else you cannot play the game, it was a standard issue it asks to connect the Nunchuck. So with the Switch version I’m guessing one joy con acts as the wii remote the other acts similar to the nunchuck forcing you to use the game with detachable joy cons.

Yeah, you needed a nunchuck because the standard Wiimote had no analog stick and only two conventional buttons (A and B), I guess they didn't allow GCC because they wanted the motion controls

the pro con has motion controls also i've used them in botw
