    If you've played this on 64 or gamecube...it's the exact same. Not sure why it costs 69.99 and not sure why they didn't add a single new feature, didn't even refine the camera and the things that make these games age poorly.

    Este videojuego es un gran regalo para conmemorar el 35 aniversario, incluye 3 de los mejores videojuegos de la historia y como extra su impecable banda sonora, este juego es magia pura.

    This collection is lots of fun to play because I used to play these three great games when I was just a kid. Amazing graphics, great controls. The only game that is missing is Super Mario Galaxy 2. I just hope that eventually this game will join this collection and make it even MORE grander. Definite recommend and a must have for both old fans and new fans alike.

    una puta mierda. agarran 3 juegos de hace como 15 años y lo venden a precio completo, lo peor es que ni siquiera añaden el super mario galaxy 2. los controles son horribles y ni siquiera es un remake literal se ve con mejores gráficos en un emulador 0/10 aunque sirve como un basurero para tirar tu dinero

It was bad on GC and it's even worse now..totally unplayable with out of control controls. As soon as I had to spray graffiti up high I knew this wasn't going to happen. And Galaxy looks decent, but it was a game for the Wii and it doesn't fit with the Switch. Controls can be iffy at times; I had trouble with a certain large spider and I have a feeling you will too! Speaking of the Switch, you do know that Nintendo came out with the greatest Mario game ever with Odyssey, so just go and play or re-play that beautiful masterpiece. Playing anything other than Odyssey is just a waste of time. If you still like these old Mario games you're living in the past man..time for Odyssey so you can experience what 10 years of development time can do to a series.… Expand

    Considering the greedy price, It is a collection of outdated games. Nothing there justifies full price, specially Super Mario 64, which should have at least an aspect ratio update. That is how Nintendo gets money out of our pockets recycling decades old games.

    It’s unrealistic to expect Nintendo to remaster and rebuild three great games (from the bottom up) and charge the same price as they do for one remastered game.

Playing Sunshine (without a Switch) requires a GameCube or Wii (with game cube controller) and the game is a collectible which usually commands a higher price tag than this entire 3 game collection. At $20 USD per game, this is well worth it. For die hard Nintendo fans who have all the originals or have played them all already. The collection maybe isn’t for you.

    Controls were really good in my opinion, the only downside of them is using the touch for Super Mario Galaxy in portable mode, I found it very uncomfortable and overall not a great experience, I recommend playing Galaxy on the TV.    … Expand

    The games themselves are good. SM64 is extremely outdated, Sunshine's controls feel pretty awkward and Galaxy is a straight up masterpiece.

    However, the compilation is very lacking and too expensive. Rare replay is an example of a good compilation.

    I really wanted to give this game more stars, because it could have been absolutely perfect. However, as many of the reviews have stated, Mario sunshine and 64 both are locked at 30fps and 64 has a measling 4:3 screen ratio. Rom hackers have achieved more with less profit, which is an extremely major disappointment; this means that you can find better versions of these games for 100% freeI really wanted to give this game more stars, because it could have been absolutely perfect.

Rom hackers have achieved more with less profit, which is an extremely major disappointment; this means that you can find better versions of these games for 100% free on the PC. To further put my personal disgust with how Nintendo released all-stars 3D, they fixed backwards long jumping on mario 64. This is a glitch that speed runners use to run world-record speed runs, they had the nerve to patch this out of the game which leaves the game as a downgraded version of Mario 64 DS, with 50% less content. Nintendo could have done more by doing less. Leaving backwards long jumping in the game wouldn't effect normal players, all it does is generate more anti-consumer product. I don't even use backwards long jump, but the fact that they removed that and left more important problems in the game just feels like they half-assed this release. Now, I'm not saying you wont have fun playing these games, because you definitely will because they are the best in their own genre. Nintendo could have done a hell of a lot more for 80 CAD.… Expand

    A collection of three of the absolute best 3D Platformers ever. HD graphics added so the games look phenomenal. It is a joy to get back into these games after so many years, and all on the same system and in one package!

Disappointing Nintendo oddly included Galaxy but left out Galaxy 2, but still a fantastic value considering its three of the best Mario games in one game.

    The only thing that keeps it from being a 10 rating is that Nintendo put almost no effort into providing extra features and goodies in the package. The first Mario All-Stars had a ton of extra work that went into it, while this 3D All-Stars are only adds a music list with no extra goodies. It's more like a straight collection rather than something deserving of the All-Stars branding, but as far as collections go its hard to beat this incredible package! If they had also included Galaxy 2 I could have overlooked the lack of extras, but as is both missing an obvious inclusion and no extras keeps it from the highest rating.

    The games look great in HD, and they play and feel exactly how you remember - which is fantastic (outside of the dated camera issues). It's an absolute blast to play back through these classics!    … Expand

Having played Super Mario 64 in my early years, nostalgia plays a huge part in the enjoyment of this 3D 'all star' experience. As a modern experience, the little work nintendo has done to bring these games to the switch has done nothing but mar these hallmark games. Super Mario 64 makes for a frustrating experience. Poor resolution (especially on a switch lite), no camera improvements, no tightening or improvment of gameplay all contribute to a hair pulling time controlling the iconic Italian. Mario constantly bumps and slides off little edges causing you to lose minutes of gameplay, being booted out of the level for a tiny mistep, forcing you to replay entire large segments over and over. The camera rarely keeps up with the game but this all to be expected for a game released in the 90s. This is the issue, nintendo had the chance to create a perfect version of the great Super Mario 64. Instead they settled for a low effort port (a poor emulation for that matter) which simply put a nintendo 64 game onto a switch and made it function. Overall, I stand by my opening statement. Nintendo truly put the nostalgia to work by making it dance infront of a hat waiting for you to throw in your $60.… Expand
