[RUMOR] Report claims Super Mario Galaxy along with other Mario games will be remastered this year

7001907.jpg

Nintendo's mascot is celebrating his 35th anniversary this year, with some possible remasters on the way to mark the occasion, if some rumors are to be believed. News website Video Game Chronicle issued a story claiming that Nintendo would be releasing "several" major games, which would include "most of the Super Mario back catalog, remastered for the Nintendo Switch". VGC's sister site, Eurogamer, also corroborated the story, with their own sources hinting at Super Mario Galaxy being one of the remastered mystery games. Yet another reporting site, Gematsu, made its own separate claims that Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario 3D World would be involved, alongside a brand new Paper Mario reveal. Only time will tell if these rumors turn out to be true, but they certainly would be major announcements, if so.

[UPDATE]

The original story has been updated, with the outlet providing more concrete details from their alleged source. Supposedly, Mario 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy 1 will be released as "a special anniversary collection", instead of just straight ports. That release will be followed up with a Deluxe version of the Wii U's Super Mario 3D World, featuring new content. Finally, a new Paper Mario game is rumored, with the site claiming it'll be a "return to the series' RPG roots".

Brand new paper Mario reveal??

They finally made Mario Party good again, what if they actually go back to Paper Mario's roots?

I know I shouldn't get my hopes up, but it's not like I can be disappointed any further than I have already been.

Why rumors... Not to be the average GBATemper, but it's a nature for me not to believe rumors unless Nintendo really confirmed things themselves. And now I run into this...

The rumor popped up in my phone articles. The very first second I immediately swiped away.
But ofcourse I hope it's true nevertheless.

Would love to see both Galaxies. The big adventage would be not needing those damn batteries for the Wiimote everytime.
But how would Super Mario Galaxy play with Joycons? We'll see, or not.

Paper Mario (story) turns 20 this August for Japan. I believe the end of the mini direct was going to announce a switch port or remaster of the original game for this summer. Due to the developer delays Nintendo believes it might miss the summer window and thus reminded us of pokemon dlc instead

We rarely report rumors, and I loathe to do so--but look how many sites are backing this claim. Eurogamer and Gematsu are fairly reputable sites, even if Emily Rogers isn't. It isn't as if this one is just a conspiracy theory-esque rumor with no credibility behind it.
