[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".

don't see what's wrong with a 3d mario collection. considering the anniversary is coming up soon, it'd be a fun surprise


FIFY. Also it's bit too early for a switch 2 don't ya think
Holidays 2021 will be the Switch 2 refresh Release date

Mario Sunshine will be ruined.....................
Mario Sunshine uses R Trigger for water pressure

removing the Triggers from switch was a stupid idea, it ruined Trails Rising for me [even though i can use Gamecube controller to fix it]

i don't see that game being fun without the R Trigger Functionality it had

The original reporting site (VGC) added onto their rumor, with the new details having been edited into the OP. Now Venturebeat is also backing the rumors as well, with their own claim of that the new Paper Mario game will likely be a "return to roots" RPG. That would make sense, since there's no competition RPG Mario series anymore, with the death of the Mario & Luigi developers. Still seems farfetched though.

Ugh; Sunshine, Galaxy and 3D World? Hard pass.

Nintendo's never been able to top Super Mario 64 DS, in my book; each of those three games have numerous utterly-frustrating Shine Sprites/Power Stars/flags to reach. Galaxy reduces Mario's HP to 3 for no justifiable reason, and all three games have impossible-to-control surfing mechanics, while Galaxy and 3D World have stupidly-strict timed missions. Oh, and Galaxy and 3D World also feature Rosalina quite prominently, which I cannot stand; she's never done anything of note other than stand in one place on either the Observatory or the Faceship - fuck her; she should've been left behind in the Galaxy duo for good, just like how so many better characters have languished, locked to only their specific Paper Mario games. 3D World not only makes Rosalina playable (which is stupid in itself), but also Peach; she's better off as kidnap fodder and the main goal of the game than as a playable character.

Odyssey was a major improvement on these three games, but it still kept the stupid 3-HP cap instead of reverting to the superior 8, and still had several utterly-frustrating Moons; there's still nothing that beats 64 DS.

Just port over Super Paper Mario; other than 64 DS and 3D Land, that's my favourite Mario game.

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.
You rarely report rumors, really? GBATEMP post rumors every week, almost daily actually. In fact I would go as far as calling you a fake news site. Google Chrome recommends gaming articles all the time, 90% of them are rumors, lies, & opinions, & GBATEMP is one of those sites. Most of the shit you moderators put on here is bs & none of you have first hand knowledge. You act like some little fruity independent site posting bull shit just to generate revenue.

just use the pro con problem solved
you didn't play the original game, not going to bother arguing with someone that doesn't know what pressure sensitive Trigger meant for Mario Sunshine, the game was built around the Game Cube controller and its R trigger Sensitivity to manipulate how you moved and cleared your path

the game cube was the only system that used it
there is no point in developing or porting Racing Simulation games without it

you have no idea what you are talking about if you think the pro Controller has it

the Feature exist if you plug a gamecube controller and can make Trails Raising fun to and meaningful to play on Switch

...Are you confused with the site posts made by the hundreds of thousands of users here, rather than the news section? Cuz I think you might be, otherwise there's not really any other way to explain it. You can't just slap fake news on everything and expect it to be a good enough accusation on its own. Otherwise, I'd love to see a news post of mine that wasn't sourced with information from the official PR/YouTube/company statement itself (not counting the like, three posts I've ever made with very large [RUMOR] tags. Or do our reviews/recommends articles count as fake news to you, since they aren't just fact sheets from the manufacturer?

I think the only one putting out "bs" here is you, friendo.

Good old portendo.

That said better than year of gold nonsense, and I would love to see Sunshine revisited even with the Mario 64 DS treatment as far as extras (though with good controls of course). If they did it properly, leant into the jetpackless levels, a few more minigames (see mecha bowser rails fight) and those levels that made creative use of it I might change from "Switch has no games" to "Switch has one game".

lol just becuase you cant controll water pressure doesnt ruin the game at all lol, play sunshine on nintendont withour an r trigger sensitive controllerand its amazing game still.
that was just a tiny thing which takes nothing away from the game itself

Now by remaster... do they mean a faithful remaster...? Or is that going to be dumbed down so that "new" gamers can play it?
I love SM64 and I love Sunshine, but after Odyssey I'm very worried.

And yes I'm aware there's challenge in Odyssey after you beat the story but you shouldn't have to play a dozen hours before facing your first challenge.

preety sure they will keep everything the same and just hd resolution/fps/texture quality.

kinda like WWhd and TPHD and so on, they are remasters not remakes.
