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.

That's a good point, and if that's the case, I'm not totally opposed to it - I could pick and choose what I want our of the bundle.
But they'll probably charge $30 each for them individually. :P

I'd say it's just as much to create some artificial scarcity, like they did for the Metroid Prime trilogy (and Kirby's Dream Collection) on Wii. Adds a bit of collector's value to the physical copies.

Nintendo and their stupid ass artificial scarcity, no wonder people pirate their games.
People pirate everybody's games lol. But yes, it does lend a bit more credibility to the argument that it's a "necessity for the sake of game preservation" in Nintendo's case.

I don't see much of a point, both of them can be emulated with increased resolution. I'm only interested in the "new" stuff. If I ever want to play the old games, I can just play them. I never quite understood purchasing an old product that isn't enhanced in some meaningful fashion or offering new features unavailable in the original if you already have the original, you're just buying the same thing twice.
Well to be honest, right now this pack is the only way to play any kind of NGC and Wii games on the Switch, that being Sunshine and Galaxy.
If both games do end up being emulated, that could open up the floodgates for possible Gamecube and Wii games on Switch without having to wait for a hopeful Vulkan port to Switch.

"Additional accessories sold separately"

Gamecube adapter + Gamecube controller compatibility confirmed? :huh:

No disrespect for the people on here but some of you guys are pretty weird. Most begged for 3D world and Nintendo actually gave alot of stuff in this direct and it is still complaining :blink:. Me personally I'll just bootleg 3D World and also the 3D All stars via NSP when the game comes out no need to complain on my end. I can already play the games they revealed on my PC since I'm already half way through 3D World on my Wii U emulator (very fun game)

This is going to sell for the small children who never played these so I will give this direct a 10/10. This is very good content for BRAND NEW PLAYERS. Old school players why are you suprised they actually did what I suggested the only thing they should have done was also include 3D land and Galaxy 2. I guess they are holding out for a 2nd release to squeeze more $$$

None of them are true ports. All three games are running on internal emulators that started development back in Spring 2017.
Injections eh? Hmm.. we'll have to see.

I can now confirm that preorder is not prepurchase. I just cancelled the preorder due to that. no game appeared on the home menu.

I do hope so.
Injection might be a good (and only) way to go to have GC/Wii on the Switch.
At least until/if Vulkan and Dolphin becomes a thing properly on homebrew for it.

I'm kind of glad they didn't remake SM64 as that would have messed with the infamous tech that makes the game still relevant today (other than memes). Kinda disappointed they didn't give it 16:9 aspect ratio, but 4:3 is still fine and charming.

I'll buy the physical copy since it seems like a neat collectors item. It's a fake kind of limited but it would still be cool to own it.
