It had been rumored for a while that Nintendo was working on a collection of Mario’s 3D classics to release in celebration of the plumber’s 35th anniversary. Last week, those rumors were confirmed to be true. Super Mario 3D All-Stars is coming to Nintendo Switch later this month. It will feature visually and audibly improved versions of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy.
The reaction to the long-overdue announcement has been mixed. While most Mario fans are excited to play through the three classics on Switch, others have accused Nintendo of putting in as little effort as possible. The games haven’t really been remastered per se, just touched up and thrown together on the same cartridge. The $59.99 price point off the back of that realization for some has also been a point of contention.
