    Una porquería, lucran con la nostalgia pero haciendo el mínimo esfuerzo por traer algo decente Nintendo está en decadencia hace mucho pero jamas pensé que podría reírse de esta manera de los fans

    OK, thanks for nothing Nintendo. Actually the Super Mario Galaxy is UNPLAYABLE with Switch controllers. It was even hard to "Select File" at the beginning of the game. This "package" should be sold for around 5 bucks instead of a full game price. Shame on you!

    Three of the best Mario games combined into one. Not to mention how swimmingly Galaxy was ported into handheld. $60 well spent.

    Great way to play the games on an HDtv. All 3 games are still fun to play till this day. However i wished they filled this collection with more stuff. I mean, is it so hard to make a little booklet or show some history in the ingame menu with video's and pictures of the making? I expected a little more.

    The controls are a bit hard but not bad the graphics are definitely improved and Galaxy looks like the best

    Before I start this review, I've never played Super Mario Sunshine and the original Super Mario 64.

    in particular looks so beautiful.

    But the point of criticism is that they have not made Super Mario 64 16: 9 and have not added / improved small things to the game. An example of this is that keeping up with the blue coins in Super Mario Sunshine is almost impossible. The camera in SMS isn't too good either.
    For Super Mario Galaxy, when you play with the Pro Controller, you have to shake hard before Mario makes his spin movement.
    And yes, too bad to see that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is not in the collection.

    Overall it is a beautiful collection with some pluses and minuses here and there, but I have a lot of fun playing them, hence a solid 8    … Expand

    This collection of games have its own issues: from lack of side content to missing mario galaxy 2, but we are playing not the collection itself: we are playing the GAMES that are in this package. mario galaxy, sunshine and 64 are fantastic games that deserves a higher resolution port to the switch. besides of lack of content, this package is amazing and worth your time

    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 SM64 is extremely outdated, Sunshine's controls feel pretty awkward and Galaxy is a straight up masterpiece.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.

    "This is Nintendo at it's worst"

    I like to think of myself as a hardcore gamer. I grew up on the Atari, NES, and Sega Genesis. Throughout the years, I've owned almost every console (sans the Sega Saturn and Wii U, although I don't feel I missed much with those). Some games you play for the story. Some you play for the gameplay. Others are a graphic fest.

    Super Mario 3D Allstars you play for the nostalgia trip overload. This collection is a love letter to the fans that grew up on Mario and I couldn't be more thrilled. I'm happy nothing was changed. What made these games in many ways was their character; bugs and all.

    I have to laugh at those who call the collection "Nintendo's worse" for them being emulated. I don't think many understand the technical challenge of getting an emulator up and running on the hardware the Switch boasts. Yeah, N64 really isn't that difficult, but the GameCube/Wii is a little different. I've played with my share of emulators, notably Dolphin (a well known GameCube/Wii emulator) and up until recently years (maybe the last five) it was unfeasible unless you owned a decent gaming rig with outstanding system specs. The fact that they got both Super Mario Sunshine and Mario Galaxy up and running with noticable upscaling enabled is impressive in itself.

    Lol. Did you really think Nintendo was going to rebuild all three from the ground up? Does anyone really understand what that would of entailed and cost? Let's talk about a nightmare of ripping assets from games and trying to craft a new engine for all three     … Expand

    Dont obey the bad troll fake reviews.
    The HD upscale of Super Mario Galaxy is a HUGE (!) upgrade to the Wii graphics. Also true for Super Mario Sunshine. Joycon motion control instead of WiiMote also is very good. Super Mario 64 could be a little smother though, framerate-wise. If they deliver SMG2 later on its a perfect 10. Cheers and thanks Nintendo for 2 awesome remasters!

    Screw limited releases of first-party games. This is anti-consumer bs. On top of that, they barely put any effort into making the games improved for current generation.

    This collection has 3 of of the best 3d platformers ever made put into one. These games have never looked or played better than they do on Switch. The presentation is simplistic but effective in the menus, and it would have been nice to have a widescreen support on Mario 64. Otherwise, you are looking at the best (and legal) way to play some of the best games ever made, and on the go!

    Nunca tuve la oportunidad de jugar a estos grandes juegos de Mario, pero ahora gracias a este pack podré disfrutarlos. Son 3 joyas atemporales y aclamadas por la crítica y usuarios. No se dejen llevar por la gente que de seguro nunca han jugado ni jugarán estos juegos y les duele que muchos de nosotros disfrutemos de estos juegos.

    Eu entendo que o clássico foi um jogo legal pra época. Mais è ridículo a Nintendo não ter feito nada pra melhorar os controles desse jogo ou aperfeiçoar os gráficos. Jogo lixo e controles super frustrante. Se puder alugue antes de comprar. Sinto que joguei meu dinheiro fora.

The only aspect of the gameplay I dislike is Sunshine; I feel that Mario has too much momentum when he jumps, which cost me countless lives (I got a game over at the secret level of Bianco Hills due to this), and the controls are kinda janky. However, the games do control either decently to amazing!

    Galaxy & 64 were the games I had the most blast with, and the collection certainly lives up to my excitement!    … Expand

    In this collection, you get three 3D Mario games; Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy, each with upscaled visuals. It's truly remarkable how well they each hold up today.

    These three are full games within themselves, and despite the age of each one, this collection is great value for money. You also get the soundtrack of each game included. While there are minimal changes from the original releases (basically adapted controls and updated graphics) and Super Mario 64 lacks widescreen, this is still a collection that should keep you entertained for a long time. For those who played the games previously, it's a nostalgic trip through memory lane. For new players, you get three accomplished games for the price of one.

    Yes, the limited time release is stupid, yes the absence of Super Mario Galaxy 2 is puzzling, and yes the ports are inconsistent. But these are still excellent games. The graphics are the same, but the resolution are improved. The use of HD rumble is a cool touch. I like that in SMG the tutorial images are different to match the Switch, but still match the art style of the original.

    The classic games have been ported over to the Nintendo Switch with upscaled graphics. The old controls feel clunky compared to modern gaming standards, but if you already love these games, this makes for a great purchase.
