Mario 3D All Stars Announced



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.

First thought, I really don't like that boxart. They just lazily copy pasted parts of the old boxart and moved/scaled the logos. At least the Super Mario All-Stars retail Wii release had some effort put into the boxart.
Second thought, holy shit, Super Mario Sunshine on Switch. Fuck everything else, I'm gonna play the hell out of that.

Okay so not to be nit-picky cause I'm definitely stoked for 3D All-Stars, but I really wish they hadn't reminded me how good the original All-Stars box art was before showing us 3D's

I was thinking that. They could riffed off the original All-Stars easily. Would have been sicc if they did the case horizontal like the SNES one.

Yes, i did watch. Most of the stuff there were ports and new stuff that isn't that exciting;
Im pretty excited for sunshine and galaxy on the switch, sadly its not galaxy 2 though.
Really wonder how the ported mario 64 thing is going to go against the real one

Oh God they didn't even add 16:9 to Mario 64... I knew this wasn't going to be remakes but come on... Look at the Switch port fort SM64 it looks great compared to what they are giving us. >:(

And when Mario Kart showed up I really thought it was MK9 LOL

Oh well, nice direct and I know It is Mario's 35th anniversary focused but TOO much Mario, 4/10

I totally read that subtitle as Bowser's Furry.

Really happy about Sunshine and Galaxy, haven't played the former and didn't play that far into the latter altho I was really liking it. Lack of Galaxy 2 is weird. Also happy about 3D World, didn't finish that on Wii U either. No strong feelings about 64, typically I'd just finished my first ever playthrough on an emulator shortly before the unofficial port came around, so I only fiddled a bit with that out of curiosity and won't be needing another full playthrough any time soon.

The Mario Kart thing looks like an interesting innovation in mixed reality, but fuck knows how well it will work, especially for people without the clear space in their rooms.

Honestly the Game & Watch thing looks pretty sweet and I'll have trouble resisting it.

Oh and the Mario 35 thing could be interesting, might just be a novelty but Tetris 99 turned out to be the real thing. Then again the limited time availability for the Mario one suggests it might not hold up as an all time classic.

Terribly anti-consumer that Nintendo is making even the digital version a limited time release. Just greedy. I understand wanting a limited physical release for collectors, but limiting even the digital copy to a specific date is malicious and plays on FOMO.
Very very disappointed in Nintendo for this.

Now if you buy a Switch or don't have the money until ≥April 2021 you can't buy the game at all. Ridiculous. It's like they're asking for piracy.

If any other company did this, they'd be torn to shreds.

3d all star already is packed. Why would Nintendo waste a seller like Galaxy 2 on this release? This 3d all star already as amazing classic and it would be wasting the chance on a Vol.2 selling a butt load if it included Galaxy 2. LoL look at half the comments on this Tread, most of us will buy Vol.2 without a 2nd thought.
