If the Super Mario 3D All-Stars release of Super Mario 64 wasn't feeling authentic enough for you, it might now. Nintendo has put out a new update for the game, which adds support for the Nintendo Switch Online N64 controller. It goes along with the previous update that came out last year, which allowed players to use the GameCube adapter to play Super Mario Sunshine with that controller option. Of course, having an NSO N64 controller to use with the new update might be a bit of struggle, considering they're all sold out until next year.

Wish I could swap my sealed physical copy of 3D All-Stars for a digital code. Physical copies available in mass amounts all over the place. Digital codes are non existent except for one on eBay for $300. Lmfao. I would bet $300 that it won't sell for even half that.

That's cool, but I was hoping for Galaxy two to be added.

Ah yes, nothing says "Nintendo" more than adding support for a controller that's out of stock for a game that's no longer available on a digital storefront. Congrats on a dumbass decision.

It wasn't a dumbass decision, they were just trying to support GBAtemp. We should be thanking them.

It's really weird, too. It's almost like they rushed this compilation. Which is funny, given how slow they've been to enhance the User experience on the Switch.

They exactly rushed this. This is the best explanation. There is no way they actually played through Ocarina of Time to see if it runs properly.

And the problem is the drip feeding. The idea is that they drip feed so that can test each game thoroughly before they release so they are not bombarded with too many at once. But this looks like not even that case.

Man, and I thought the Super Mario 35th anniversary was long over (don't mention that stupid joke about March 31st).
Now imagine if they finally decide to add Super Mario Galaxy 2 in the collection?

 

[techmuse]

cool i guess? can't really comment on it since i dont have an N64 NSO controller

 

[RichardTheKing]

Didn't they remove this from the eShop back in March, or May, or whenever?
Weird.

Let's add support for a controller that's out of stock until next year for a game that's no longer available and which only other available version is a vanilla ROM with awful input latency.

Never stop being stupid, Nintendo.

Nintendo are just waiting for most peoples NSO to expire!! that way they can charge you £40 for a controller plus a NSO renewal fee

How is that bad? There's literally no downsides to this update, I don't understand the logic

No longer available? There are massive amounts of physical copies available all over the place. Amazon, Walmart, Target, eBay, etc. Incredibly easy to buy.

Unfortunately. I bought 4 copies intending to sell 3 of them.

They should sell it without requiring that bs subscription. Let's say I'd want to buy, I can't because I don't have an NSO.

Subbing to NSO just to buy an N64 controller will cost more than a Switch Pro Controller.

I meant officially and currently on print.
I know there are leftovers (if any) of that game, but production for that game ceased months ago.

One - The N64 controller won't be in stock still 2022
Two - 3D All Stars is not available on the eShop because they pulled it

New people won't have a chance to get either, so, it's a dick move.

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Ah yes, nothing says "Nintendo" more than adding support for a controller that's out of stock for a game that's no longer available on a digital storefront. Congrats on a dumbass decision.

So, they should just not add the support then for those that already own it digitally or physical, or for those that plan to buy it physically? Or for those that already own the controller or will buy one when back in stock? Your logic is incredibly stupid. You're acting like since YOU might not have it digitally and werent able to score a controller yet... that N should say fuck you to everyone else too. You're one of those people that would be bitching if they DIDN'T add it. "But but!!! N64 game and N64 controller... but but... they didn't even add support when it would be so easy to patch it in!!!! Congrats on a dumbass decision."

Now only Wii Remote support is missing.

 

[the_randomizer]

NSO was low effort by Nintendo.

The Wii N64 Emulator was their best offering. Each individual game had a ver. of the Emualtor was tailored made specifically for that game. This led to high quality emulation of graphics that was closer to N64 hardware and lower input lag. Nintendo really went in and tested each individual game to give us quality.


While the NSO ver. Is a lazy attempt just one overarching emulator without any individual adjustments. Is insane considering the $30 price tag they want.

The only thing that would've made the N64 on Wii better is if it had proper alpha dithering implemented (the pixel dissolve effect from invisible Mario) but yeah, all around it's superior

Have you checked gray key sellers?

The other day I curiously looked up if someone was selling the original GTA Trilogy Steam key and there was.. for $30 (when it was a few bucks on the actual store).

Now all we need is Wii Remote support, and then the 3D All-Stars will be an authentic experience!
