    Really outdated, the camera controls in the first 2 games are terrible, and Sunshine is waaaay too twitchy. I remembered these games much better than they actually are. Edited to 2 after playing Hotel lobby's secret, what **** game design.

    These are all great games but lets be honest, zero effort was put into making this collection.

    And why wasn't Mario Galaxy 2 included!!!!???

    Shame on you Nintendo.

    This game is sorely understood and is judged on stupid parameters. It isn't supposed to be a ground-up remake of the three games like the Final Fantasy VII Remake. It was released during Mario's 35th Anniversary, and is meant to catch up the younger players on Mario's previous games.

    honestly, **** you Nintendo, don't get me wrong, these are great games, and are worth your time. BUT, does a 60 dollar collection of 13+ year old games with no extra content and nothing else in it that I cant get from emulation seem worth the SIXTY DOLLARS you are going to be paying for it.

    Oh, and I guess mario galaxy 2 or 3D land don't exist either!

    If you really want to play these games just use an emulator. project 64 can play mario 64 and the dolphin emulator can play sunshine and galaxy 1 and 2! for free.
    you can even get widescreen, a 60fps patch and up the resolutions.

    "BuT YoU CAn pLAY iT ON tHE gO!!!"
    yeah what about the homebrew hacks that you can get up and running on your switch hardware, or the PC port that, with the right tools, can be played on the switch with hd models and textures,

    oh right,
    Nintendo nuked it!

    I would like to give this a 10 because come on, 3 Mario games for 60 bucks. BUT.....
    I've heard of Nintendo using an emulator to emulate these games and just improving the games looks by a little. You can literally own the original games and download them onto an emulator. I heard of an emulator called dolphin where you can push the resolution up to 4 f***ing K!

    While the games themselves are great and fun to play, Nintendo became truly complacent when whipping up this collection.

The poor decision of making this game a limited time release is also pitiful, as it makes buying it more of a hassle than a fun experience. Though these are certainly detriments to the experience, I still had fun playing these games for the first time in over a decade. The nostalgia factor of all 3 releases is a big plus, but that plus alone can't make up for these issues.… Expand

    It's Mario games so its hard to go wrong with the value of the games. Taking off points since its a limited time collection, and the ports were wonky on release. Some patches have made the games smoother, but I wish there was more in the collection besides some music tracks. Feels rushed.

    The games included are some of the best games ever created. 64, Sunshine, and Galaxy are still amazing, and slight improvements like a single button for the spin jump in Galaxy improve the game significantly. For some of these games, 3D All-Stars is the definitive way to play, and perfect if you've always wanted to check these games out or just want to revisit them.

    However, this is brought down by the quality of the collection. At its core, 3D All-Stars is an overpriced, unimproved mess that includes issues fans fixed years ago that was barely changed to fit with the Switch better. If it weren't for those issues, this would likely by the best Mario game ever, but it's painfully obvious that this was meant to be a quick cash grab by Nintendo.

    These games are some of my favorite games of all time and to finally play mario galaxy and mario sunshine portably is amazing. In my opinion to play these game portable is worth the 60 dollar price alone. But it would have been nice to see a galery or maybe just a bit more effort in the menus

    Don't get me wrong, I think this game is enjoyable. 3 amazing classic Mario games thrown on one console, but do I think it was necessary or should have been a full £50 price? If you'd never played the games before, then yeah, absolutely! But if you have... then no, probably not. What did I think of the games? Well...

    Mario Galaxy. I much preferred the second game. Nintendo mentioned they updated the graphics a little. I fail to see it. It's enjoyable, brings back a wave of nostalgia, but when I own a Wii and Super Mario Galaxy, I fail to see the point to buy it on Switch full price, which I reckon is why it's 'limited time'.

    Mario 64. The camera aged horribly and was not changed at all. I've been wanting to complete Mario 64 for a while now on 3D All Stars, but I just find the camera irritating. I own Mario 64 DS and I've completed that 2 times in a row, and each time I enjoy it as much as the last. Maybe I'm biased with the camera as I was a Sonic kid growing up which didn't have camera issues for me, but I'd find the game much more enjoyable if they edited the camera a slight bit.

    I have not yet gotten round to playing Mario Sunshine. It looks like a fun game but I basically only played £50 for Mario Sunshine, which I could just get a GameCube and Mario Sunshine for probably only just a little more.

    It's great for a first time player, but compared to other remastered games (Star Fox 64 3D (which was on the DS, may I note), Twilight Princess HD), it lacks in adding updated features to build it up to modern expectations.    … Expand

    Extremely lazy port of 3 old games for full price. Tried to justify this as a limited time release but every store has tons of them in stock. Way to play to fomo Nintendo. Overall not worth it as there are many ways to play these games for much cheaper than $90 CDN.

    Super Mario Galaxy may be a great game, yet a price tag of $60 makes the bundle not worth it. And having played SM: Galaxy on Wii and Switch, I can very well say that the infrared control by Wiimote is much more superior and accurate, while Switch's Joy-cons need constant calibration by "R" (for me, every 5 seconds).

I would recommended anyone interested in SM: Galaxy get a pair of Wiimote + Nunchuk, a SM: Galaxy disc, and run it on PC using Dolphin Emulator. I got mine for around $55 and this enables you to play even more Wii titles, without waiting for their remakes. Well, if you buy a physical copy of this compilation just to try it, it's ok because you can always sell it later. But I got a digital copy, and in HK district cannot get a refund. Regretted.… Expand

    Schlechter Switch port und zu wenig (gar keine Verbesserung) zu den Originalen. Habe die selben Fehler wie bei spielen vor 10-15 Jahren. Sunshine zum Beispiel war mit dem GC Controller besser spielbar. Dann auch noch 69 dafür zu verlangen ist einfach Frech. Ich bin ein Riesen Mario-Fan aber sowas ist einfach nur schlecht. Nintendo sollte sich schämen.

    I was really disappointed with this game initially, due to the camera controls and FLUDD controls, which had been changed (inverted) with no option to revert to the original controls. Having to fight against muscle memory to control the game properly was annoying, especially in Sunshine.

    The most recent update fixed this and added invert camera options so it's a lot better now.

    In a future update, it would be good if they added button mapping options within the individual games. I would like to switch the functions of the R and ZR buttons in Sunshine; it would feel a lot more intuitive to me if it was the other way around (so ZR would be shooting water while standing still).
    (I'm aware that there is an option to change button mappings in the Switch settings, but it doesn't work with all controllers and it is a bit of a faff to turn it on and off.)

    An option for a updated, modernised camera controls in 64 would also be a good addition.    … Expand

    Completely unreasonable to justify this product with what games the collection is comprised of, and the price tags of other versions Nintendo sold - these have little to nothing to with the game itself.

    It's marketed as one of the celebratory products of the Mario brand. This being the case, it fails to show any ounce of passion & care, of which the originals held. The only thing Nintendo has newly offered is a novelty soundtrack which can only be used while the game is inserted; literally having no use or practicality for the average consumer.

    The quality of this game is horrendous. It makes the Nintendo deal look like garbage with how the original of SM64 and SMS feel awkward. On top of that, SM64 bears the worst in how it's presented. With all this porting and emulation nonsense going on it feels crappy even purchasing it for being so unpolished.

    This while thing is daylight robbery and Nintendo made minor enhancements such as remade textures; purely to keep the visuals with the times... Additionally, if individual developers can do better than Nintendo them it's safe to say that they didn't care so that much in the first place. There's more than one reason why Nintendo had so many pirates. That's because though they may succeed the competition in some, they fail their consumers in the rest.

    Blindly praising the company without acknowledging the stunts they pull is ludicrous. Moreso, the purchase time-frame is a disgusting move on Nintendo's.    … Expand
