We need a laughing exasperated man video with this.

• 35th anniversary(makes a big deal out of it)
• Charging full retail price for something they've done 0 work on
• Forcing Switch Lite users to BUY JOY CONS to play 1 game, INSTEAD of fixing it like NVIDIA has on their Shield(biggest OMPH)*
• Not including Super Mario Galaxy 2 in a collection asking $60 for.
• LIMITED digital run.

*stated on Official Eshop Page for game.

 

[Shifty1897]

Someone floated this in the Direct thread, but is it possible Galaxy 2 is an unlock?

Nintendo couldn't be that crazy to pretend it doesn't exist... Right?

 

[Birdo]

I really hate Nintendo sometimes. They just can't do anything right.

 

[TexMex]

It is not required, unless you want to play Galaxy co-op.

The games are all compatible with Pro Controllers.

kiss me

Super Mario™ 3D All-Stars - Nintendo - Official Site

• Defy gravity as you explore space in the Super Mario Galaxy™ game, originally released in 2007! Help Rosalina restore her ship by collecting Power Stars and save Princess Peach. Gently shake a Joy-Con™ controller to activate Mario’s Spin ability or pass a Joy-Con controller to a friend for some extra help in Co-Star Mode*.

*If playing on Nintendo Switch Lite, detached Joy-Con controllers are required and sold separately. See support.nintendo.com/switch/play for details.

They're not saying ONLY for CO-OP they're saying to make Mario SPIN PUNCH, an essential move they couldn't be bothered to bind to a single fucking button.

This one REALLY pisses me off, it ruined the game originally and was fixed on the NVIDIA Shield in Other Markets, but NINTENDO THEMSELVS couldn't make this simple thing happen.

 

[TheContact]

Still will get, if only for Mario 64 on the Switch, but sad to see Sunshine in over Galaxy 2.

 

[Business]

Super lame really. Try harder if you want my money Nintendo.

 

[Goro Majima]

Sunshine was amazing and I won't hear otherwise.

I loved Mario 64 but when Mario Sunshine came out it was incredible. Mario finally actually looked like the Mario on the box for a change. The island theme, the music, the graphics, feeling like you were doing things and accessing things you weren't supposed to with the water pack - it was all just amazing at the time.

So maybe it's because I'm an old fart that vividly and fondly remembers the transition from Mario 64 to Sunshine that I will always hold it in high regard.

That's wishful Nintendo Defense Force hope thinking and trying to defend their awfulness at any cost.

 

[AllyITA]

still wiggle controls in mario galaxy... this is sad.
just map it to a button. how hard can it be

(don't care about the star shooting thing, it was stupid and unnecessary)

 

[BobbyColtrane]

I've been waiting for this because I want to go back and play Mario 64.

What do you guys think is the best way to play it in 2020? I've never looked into playing on an emulator but I can.

 

[Bog]

So much whining over Nintendo putting these games on Switch for $20 a piece. I knew the other place would act like babies, but here, too?

 

[Elcid]

Limited time...no Galaxy 2, and no actual upgrades to graphics? Fucking Nintendo has some giant testicles.

 

[Sophist]

64 dollars for an emulated mario 64 rom in higher resolution.

 

[Portugeezer]

Looks like lazy ports. Sunshine and Galaxy hold up, but 64 looks dated and could do with a noticeable touch up.

 

[anab0lic36]

Probably some kind of subscription based virtual console dropping next year, thats why its only available until march and with the launch of that, probably comes mario galaxy 2 amongst other titles.

 

[Megatron]

I’m insanely excited for this. But why is it a limited time digitally? Lol.

 

[MR ARCADE FOREVER]

Game Explain Fanboys cumming of happiness with Mario 64 running at not even 720 p resolution. What a joke

 

[Jooxed]

You will be okay.

 

[Naibel]

Oh god, I was so hyped about this, and then I saw that those were pretty much the original versions of those games, with a simple res upgrade. Come on, I already played those games to ABSOLUTE death, and finished them more than twice already ! So no fresh coat of paint to somewhat justify a double-dip like the original All-Stars, bullshit Nintendo at it again...

Went from 'instant preorder' to maybe at a discount.

EDIT: Considering the low print run, even a discount is far from a given...

I think if you want to play it at 60 fps you'll essentially have to resort to a hacked version that does its best to replicate animations and physics at that framerate. If you want the most authentic experience that still affords a better-than-N64 experience, it's probably Nintendo's official Switch release.

 

[Scotty W]

Or you could buy a Wii U and most of these games for less than what you will soend on these 2 packages

What's a Wii U?

 

[00_Zer0]

Does Mario 64 have a 16 x 9 ratio or did they even bother. The direct only showed low res 4:3 video of Mario 64. Of the games that needed most attention was Mario 64. I was expecting something like this at the minimum, minus the 4k:



Low effort Nintendo....good thing I'm a multiplatform gamer otherwise I wouldn't have much to be excited for this year as a Nintendo only gamer.

 

[ultrazilla]

Will get just for Super Mario Galaxy but kinda bummed these aren't "remastered". Optimized is good(60fps or bust) but it would have been
nice to see Nintendo give us a graphics/resolution bump.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

No Galaxy 2 is dismaying, but Sunshine and Galaxy? HELL YES. IN.

 

[SuperGooey]

LOL

Literal ports of games 1-2 decades old, and knowing Nintendo, they'll likely be sold at full price.

The price is known, please try to get all the facts before shitposting.

 

[Doczu]

This is so fucking pathetic i just can't.

Missing Galaxy 2, 30fps for Mario 64 and Sunshine, gently telling Switch Lite users to go fuck themself or buy joy cons, no upgrades AT ALL - no, running the 64 rom in HD and 16:9 is nothing a free emulator can't do.

And the worst is that people will buy it. Scalpers will scalp. And not enough people will tell Nintendo to go fuck themself and put an effort. Like they did for Metroids 25th anniversary...

 

[MrMephistoX]

I’m excited because I now have a kid and she loved Odyssey. Here’s hoping the second rumor of 3D World pans out too...kinda scummy but who knows maybe Galaxy 2 is DLC?

 

[Jooxed]

It's been announced in this mornings direct.

 

[The Pleasure]

Mario didn't say "so long gay bowser." he said bye bye. No buy.

 

[MagnesG]

Lol, and people are gonna buy it anyway. Great games never gets old.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Been looking for pre-order for the physical edition but can't find anything. I guess they haven't begun where I live. Damn, feel all rushed and shit since it's limited.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Come here, little pussy cat....

 

[Jooxed]

Come here, little pussy cat....

I wondered when you would show up

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

Is Nintendo seriously gonna do this for only 8 months?

I was really looking forward to this collection, now I gotta buy it for over $100 by the time I switch to the Switch in 2024

I know damn well you already have a switch you closet Nintenbro

 

[buizel]

milk that shit ninty

 

[Deleted member 17706]

Oh hell yes. I'm in 100%. Never played Sunshine, so looking forward to giving it a try.

 

[Neil Young]

$19.99 during the limited run and $39.99 after would be at least reasonable. Disappointing, as they didn't seem to improve them, but reasonable. $60? Jesus.

 

[SF Kosmo]

The quality here is super disappointing. I didn't really expect enhancements of the assets, but is it too much to ask to get 64 and Sunshine running at 60fps? I was really hoping they'd make changes to Galaxy to make it playable in handheld too, but nope.

Oh hell yes. I'm in 100%. Never played Sunshine, so looking forward to giving it a try.

Manage your expectations.

 

[splattered]

And this is why i was angry the Switch couldn't play Wii / Wii-U games... people shouldn't be paying full price for this crap.

 

[MiyazakiHatesKojima]

I know damn well you already have a switch you closet Nintenbro

Close, but no Luma Stars

 

[93xfan]

I really like the cleaned up look of Mario 64’s textures. Wish they’d update the camera and give full control, but other than that, I’m pleased. I’m hoping Galaxy 2 will be dlc down the road. It’d be a bummer to not be able to purchase that as well

 

[Silvawuff]

I can't tell if I should be excited or pissed off. I'm feeling a bit of both here.

What the fuck, Nintendo.

 

[ExpandKong]

Didn't take long for price complainers to show up.

Just don't buy it nerds.

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

This is incredibly low effort even by Nintendo standards.

They get good sales after the wii u disaster that almost shut them down and they can't even bother doing a proper job?

 

[SuperGooey]

The price is known, please try to get all the facts before shitposting.

Laughing at the ridiculous pricing on these ports isn't shitposting. I was right. They are selling this at full price! And Super Mario 3D World as well! Yikes.

This pricing is worth mocking.

I don't think they've done anything to the textures, but the filtering is different than the N64's (very distinctive) filtering.
