I feel if they tried that like Capcom did with the DMC Collection back in the day I'd be way more disinterested in this collection.

Maybe it'll be a bit like the approach taken with the Disney Vault with another re-release further in the future. The camera fixing of Sunshine was the most important thing in the "remaster" for me, even of it is my least favourite 3D mario game. I understand being exacting in terms of what you look for in a port, and I suppose some new content + Galaxy 2 would have been nice, but “Three of the best Nintendo games ever, in one place” — especially when that place is the most convenient gaming console of all time and when such games enjoy several quality of life / performance bonuses — is a no-brainer 10/10 experience. Only reviews that feature the label "Verified Review" have been checked to ensure that the author actually used or purchased the product. I have many versions of Mario 64 through the original, Virtual Console, DS and such, but to be able to play that Rumble Pak version of the game without shelling out for a Japanese copy will be a nerdy treat.I'm often bed ridden with really bad spinal pain, and video games/books (fiction in general) help me escape it a bit. but with something as big as that you'd expect it to have been announced during the official reveal, "coming later" kinda thing. It's missing one of the best games of all time and that game is higher rated than all three of the games in the pack. A bunch of neckbeards crying because it doesn't fit their microscopic acceptance threshold which no normal human being would ever even notice, and people excited to get to play these games again on their Switch.

Is Super Mario 3D World /Bowser's Fury also going to be a "limited release" like All Stars when it comes out in February? Judging by one of the screenshots, it looks like it's controlled via the right analog and you can just fling the cursor away where it's not blocking your view, which is what the person playing in the screenshot appears to have done. The result is a brilliantly clean-looking version of the game, although this new clarity does expose some of its previously well-hidden tricks; for example, you sometimes see Mario’s head lose a lot of detail as he moves further away from the camera, which would have been disguised on a blurry old CRT telly. Whichever interface you use, the lack of a sensor bar means your cursor does occasionally lose track of where it’s supposed to be pointing, so the R button has been assigned the sole purpose to resetting your cursor and putting it back in the middle of the screen. You say that if I don't take other things into account the review is pointless but I absolutely do take them into account.It would be considered unfair competition and Nintendo would be in serious hot water with every major retailer who they still need to sell their hardware. The one missing star is for the thing I feel gamers truly have a point to gripe about, yet I've seen only a handful do so: It's not the fully expanded Mario 64 for 3DS, complete with Wario as a playable character, extra stars, and areas entirely new from the original.

I can overlook Nintendo excluding bonus content that one might expect in a 35 anniversary collection; it's cheap but somewhat expected. Although it's probably an extremely unpopular opinion, Super Mario Sunshine is by far my favourite Mario game to date, followed by 64 and I look forward to seeing how it goes on switch. I feel like pro controller method would work better if they made the d-pad control the camera and made the right control stick the pointer. I mean, this is a lazy ports collection running on emulators (which is fine) and without Super Mario Galaxy 2 (which is not).Ghostchip I think that Super Mario Sunshine is the best and Super Mario Odyssey the worst 3D Mario games and that Super Mario Galaxy 2 should have been included because the games are running on emulators. I was coming at it from the review is of the games, but especially with a port (or, rather, emulation), the gameplay experience is really what is being reviewed. The games using emulation also means they could easily be patch if need be if glitches are found or if the collection were to ever be optimize for the Switch Pro. I predict Nintendo will re-release Galaxy 2 next year as a standalone download or physical version, with updated hi-res graphics, and maybe as an exclusive to the "Switch Pro" console they are working on. I have been preferring digital purchases but went physical since it'll be out of print after March 2021.
