Here's an idea, wait until after March 31 to announce the Switch DX, of course anyone who buys that won't be able to buy Mario anymore, they will have to wait for the next limited window offer. Maybe this time with better features, so all the suckers who already bought them can buy em AGAIN.

This intense Disney vault type technique is getting a bit over the top. It's getting borderline creepy to me.

In all seriousness. I think there's a good chance that the Switch Pro will be out in the 2nd quarter (starting April 1st) at the BOTW 2 launch, and it will be backward compatible with all Switch games.

For everyone concerned about the lack of analog buttons for sunshine, I get it but I’m sure that Nintendo has thought of this as it is a crucial part of the game.

Feeling the 5 stages of grief here.

Denial - What, no way?! Nintendo is releasing a collection of 3D Marios!
Anger - It's a half-assed port job of all three. And no Galaxy 2?!
Bargaining - Maybe they'll add more to this with DLC or something down the line.
Depression - Nintendo, why must you do this? Don't we deserve better?
Acceptance - This morning I preordered.

 

[Shaqazooloo]

They fucking censored "so long gay Bowser" didn't they?

They better not have changed Mario's voice in 64 cuz it's classic.

The theory that i'm hearing is that they're using the updated version that was released a year later in Japan that changed that voice clip to 'buh-bye'.

If that's the case it will be the only changed line in the game.

I can see a lot of speedrunners being pissed though since that version of the game patched out BLJ's apparently.

 

[carlosrox]

His voice better not be fucked with in any of these games. I hate when classic shit is edited and fucked with.

So is Mario 64 gonna look no better than it did on Wii/Wii U VC?

Higher resolution. And they fixed the M on his hat

Wasn't it already 720 in the Wii U version?

 

[Punished Miku]

Wasn't it already 720 in the Wii U version?

I guess I'm not sure honestly. I don't remember it looking very sharp, but I don't know.

 

[Dr.Guru of Peru]

fuck yeah, this will tide me over until Metroid prime 4

 

[Codes 208]

Wasn't it already 720 in the Wii U version?

It was 480p

and all the 2d effects (including the UI) have been redone to look HD

 

[carlosrox]

It was 480p

Positive?

Why do I remember Mario 64 looking nice and sharp on both VCs?

I mean if this is gonna look better than I remember then I'm quite excited.

I had to double check for myself awhile back and it came up as 480p for all n64 games running on the Wii U virtual console. The original game was 240p so it was still a jump from that, but obviously 720 is another equally large jump.

Damn, well thanks.

It should look really clean then! Looking forward to it.

That was the one reason I could never get into the GBA All Stars Ports..."Woo hoo!" does not belong in SMB3.

 

[Codes 208]

I actually liked some of the vocal additions. I prefer yoshi’s gba sounds than the og snes. Also they altered Luigi’s palette to be more unique than just a color of swap of Mario for SMW

edit: well actually all-stars +smw edited his sprites originally and the gba version edited them further to match his color scheme a bit better (lighter green with purple overalls)

 

[-Arcadia-]

Didn’t they throw Ocarina of Time Young Link sound effects into LttP GBA? The actual worst thing ever, if I’m not misremembering.

Are you sure? 480p anything looked terrible on my TV, but SM64 looked nice/was perfectly playable. If this is the case, I don’t understand why that is. Other people in here reporting them looking clean as well.

everywhere I’ve checked says 480p, it’s basically the same thing as the Wii VC but with minor changes and fixes.

 

[carlosrox]

But I remember even the Wii version looking really nice and clean too. I never understood why.

It helps that the textures and details were fairly flat. It’s an n64 game so geometry isn’t all that complicated. There may be some anti-aliasing but not that much else from the looks of it.

 

[MrMephistoX]

How does that have fuck to do with a Pandemic?

I think you’re right? I strongly remember not liking it for similar reasons...but man I still miss my Blue GBA SP...being a kid self funding new console purchases by gaming trade in specials at GameStop or EBay wasn’t worth it in the long run.

I'm almost at the acceptance phase.

This is Nintendo's abuse cycle. Instead of being punched in the face by the hateful lover, you're wallet looses some money and you feel like you got ripped off, until you get the game, and you have fun with it still feel ripped off but remember how much you love Nintendo, not the current product so you have fun.

Nintendo hatesex is probably one of the most honest takes of this as I can imagine.

I never played Galaxy and welcome a return to Sunshine and Mario 64, so this is a good deal for me, especially if they play well on the go. I'm getting this because it makes sense to me, not because of FOMO or fangirling.

 

[HotPocket69]

Goddamn if there’s one term/abbreviation that needs to jump off a fucking cliff it’s “FOMO.”

It can hold hands with Yikes, Based, Bet, Fight Me, Slay, Stan and Thirsty as they plummet to the jagged, rocky bottom.

It's a real psychological issue that is being exploited all the time now by all the entertainment industries, actually all consumer industries, it's why you see it.

For me "Living his best life" can jump off a cliff and die. That phrase is useless.

Identifying and shaming companies of abusing FOMO is necessary.

This is what denial looks like.

FOMO acts on not "fucking retarded" people in all kinds of different ways, it's probably acting on you subconsciously in some way, even though you won't admit it.

Your lack of empathy and understanding of this really isn't a great thing, you probably think your perfect or in control fully, uninfluenceable.

People suffering from FOMO need help, not kicks in the balls, it destroys them and they don't even realize it.

 

[TheMasterSwordMaster]

Hopefully Mario 64 has smooth right stick camera control, and Sunshine has gyro control for FLUDD.

if the games had those, they wouldve shown those features off instead of just the limpdick 16:9 aspect ratio for sunshine

 

[TheMasterSwordMaster]

The going price for a fast food burger isn't $50 though. This would be like re-issuing the Lord of the Rings trilogy in the theatres and letting you see all three movies for the price of a single ticket. I'm sure some people should insist that the tickets should only be $2 because they're older movies, but I'd view it as a pretty good deal, especially since the films are superior to the vast majority of modern blockbusters. In a similar vein, if I buy a box set of Beatles albums, they aren't discounted just because they were originally issued in the 1960s. I see no issue with paying "full price" for a compilation of three classic games that are vastly superior to pretty much anything that's currently sitting on store shelves.

movies dont advance in technology as dramatically as games do (at least not since the lotr movies released)`

 

[TheMasterSwordMaster]

It’s very confusing but I think what’s going on with the asterisked bit is: if you want to play with Joy-cons and you own a Lite, you’ll have to buy some Joy-cons. It’s not saying you can’t play Galaxy on the Lite otherwise.

It literally says detatched joycons are required if playing on nintendo switch lite, what mental gymnastics are you doing to come to the conclusion that "Joycons required" means "joycons not required"? Why would they put a piece of text that says "if you want to use joycons, you gotta have joycons"

I can’t tell if you’re being serious or not.

I mean, I’m buying digital on day one so I have no fear of missing out on anything I would’ve bought day one even if the release wasn’t limited. I always day one big releases I’m into because that’s my personal ‘tism and I like being part of that early buyer zeitgeist. It’s fun.

It’s nice to have a job

And I am perfect, thanks

Technological advances do not make newer games better than older games by default. Some people prefer to watch/play things as close to possible as they were originally created.

Let's put it this way: Nintendo expects to sell both Switch Lite and 3D All-Stars this holiday, often to the same customers. You can bookmark my post and check back after the game's release. If I'm wrong, I'll write a haiku in your honor.

yeah they do, and then when parents dont read the fine print tucked away in a corner of the screen or on a details page they wont read, theyll cough up more money for joycons

 

[gamer82]

cant wait for preorders to arrives i have barely played Mario 64 as i hated the controls. lets hope they reworked them. i'f not i will try and push onwards.

i haven't played sunshine didn't own any Nintendo system myself till wii. Mario Galaxy i vaguely remember playing and enjoyed flying to different planets and the motion controlls lol so 3 practically new mario games to go through.

Only decision is now or put away as my xmas just encase no other gaming this year due to stock shortages. got to expect worst

its touch screen enabled encase you don't use joycons they did say this.

 

[TheMasterSwordMaster]

1) where did they say this? its not in the direct, nor the trailer
2) touch screen for what? the star bit shooting? that thing that never needed to exist in the game? goody.
3) if its touch screen for the spin attack, that has to be the worst control scheme ever devised for a re-release

 

[HotPocket69]

I wonder what they’ll use for the bolo like swing that you need to pull off in Galaxy? Maybe repeated button presses? What about tossing fireballs? Really curious how they’ll incorporate non waggle controls to pull off those moves.

encase you don't want to open the link.

Polygon reached out to an official Nintendo representative, who shared a few extra details:

"Super Mario Galaxy is supported in TV, Tabletop and Handheld Modes. In TV and Tabletop modes, motion controls are required for pointer functionality.

In Handheld Mode, pointer functionality has been adapted to use Touch Screen."

so you can play on switch and switch lite without joycons if you so require.

i guess the controls are all reworked, its been that long since i played galaxy i can't remember the game much. looking forward to it myself 2 of them i haven't really played yet.

ok the article (and this gameexplain video, i assume this is the one u meant) says that pointer functionality is on touch screen. still says nothing about the spin attack and how / if that works without a joycon. good to know switch lite users will be able to collect star bits tho!

Huh? The controls are THE reason Mario 64 was possibly the greatest gaming experience many of us ever had.

maybe back when it first came out, yeah. but after more games optimized 3d controls, going back to the originator may seem clunky

 

[Camreezie]

Wait, so they didn't enhance SM64? Wow, that's just...wow...

I was actually looking forward to 3D All Star, but now my heart's broken. I am actually starting to think the Switch is my absolutely last Nintendo console I get. The output has been very disappointing lately and this felt like the last straw. Feels almost cathartic in a way.

See you at switch 2!
