    Fantastic games, Horrendous collection.
    No extra features(concept art, promotional videos, etc.)
    - Bad ports of 64 or Sunshine.
    - Bland menus.
    - No button mapping for any of the games.
    - 60-70$ price tag.
    - Limited release.

Because the games included in the collection are very enjoyable and fun, but looking this as a collection, it's pretty bad. With recent releases such as the Crash and Spyro remakes, we've seen these classic 3D platformers rereleased in a modern form. But this collection feels quite a last-minute release. Not saying there was no effort put into this, that's far from true. The higher resolutions, the tweaked controls, the smoother framerate. But the fact that this is just emulated version, with no other tweaks other than the higher res, is very disappointing. But then, we have some strange changes that raised my eyebrow somewhat. The use of the relatively disliked SHINDOU version of Super Mario 64, and the loud beep in Sunshine, and the lack of button controls in Galaxy's minigames. All of this would've been fine if it wasn't a full 60$. When the Spyro and Crash collections, which are from the ground up recreations, are only 40$, you know you **** up. And then, ooooh boy, then we have the limited release. Nintendo, please answer me, why the hell are you doing this? This is clearly very anti-consumerist. I thought we were gone from the days of the Wii selling out and the Great Amiibo War. These practices make you hated more and more by the community. I know people will still enjoy your games, but you must make an effort to still hold the respect many fans still hold over you. I don't like using numbers for reviews, because it makes readers only focus on the big circle with the number on it like they're moths attracted to a lamp, but Metacritic won't let me not have a number, so I'll just stick with 6/10. I still believe it's worth it, as the games inside are very fun, but the collection is surrounded by a shadow of bad practices. Hope Nintendo backtracks on some of their choices before it's too late.… Expand

    As someone who is new to Nintendo and loved Mario Odyssey, I learned 3 important things:
    * Mario Odyssey really is an amazing game.
    * 2 out of 3 of the games in the pack really DID NOT age well.
    * I really shouldn't impulse buy things just because they are in limited edition.

They could’ve made Mario not look blocky as well, but that might’ve actually been not done due to preservation. They didn’t even release the version most people speed run, so if you wanted to get into speed running Super Mario 64 you’d need to purchase an entire Nintendo 64 or just emulate the game on a computer. You can’t map buttons on the remote despite that making quite a bit of sense given the controls aren’t the best and, people have their own preferences. This game is just so much lost potential and the fact that Nintendo think they can release it at full price, when in comparison to other collections. It has almost a pitiful amount of content for an even higher price tag. I don’t recommend purchasing this game unless you feel it’s absolutely necessary you play these games. Yes it’s a fun time, but the value is absolutely horrible.… Expand

    Nintendo should finally give us a way to legally play their backlog and not just drip feed us SNES games again.
    Take Microsoft as an example Nintendo. Please. The state of legacy content on Nintendo consoles is just sad.

    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.

I really dislike Super Mario 64, though. I will not go into the reasons why, however. What is more important is that this would be a good game, if it was not extremely lazy and overpriced. The resolution upscale is barebones and lacks substance, despite it being the only gimmick of this collection aside from its default Switch features and the soundtracks. The soundtracks do not add anything good to the collection, since all it does is play music from the three games in the background of the game's menu, and there is almost nothing to do in the game's menu, so its existence is only further devalued by Nintendo's laziness.
    They are emulated games with no significant changes. All there is to it is the previously mentioned upscaled resolution, probably a better framerate, music tracks, and the default Switch features. The controls are also not that good in Sunshine and Galaxy, but I will not go into why. I will say that SM64 for the first time can be played with a good controller, though, without being on an emulator, which is good. The games controls and camera are still miserably terrible, unfortunately.
    This would all be fine, if there was a proper price to go along with it. But it is sixty USD, and that is way above what it deserves to be. It is obvious Nintendo put almost no real effort into developing this game, yet they are still fine with charging it on full price for the sake of satisfying their hunger for money. Nintendo is far from the most greedy and lazy company out there, but from time to time they still stab their fans in the backs like this. I would also like to mention that for some reason I bought this game with a 10% lower price than I pay with all other full priced games. I live in Denmark, so I paid four-hundred-and-fifty danske kroner, even though it is supposed to be just as highly priced as all other major Nintendo Switch games. It is quite strange.
    I believe that fifteen or twenty USD would have been a fair price. Fifteen should have been the minimum, every game and soundtrack in the collection would make up five USD, which is a really good price considering their essentially just emulations that cost almost no money to produce. I would have been fine with it costing an extra five USD. Anything about twenty USD is ridiculous for this game, and that is why I regret buying this game.    … 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

Then I started Mario Sunshine and boy is that game terrible...

    Going to be honest here. I absolutely HATE Mario Sunshine. For lack of a better word, its **** To be fair, I did put in a good amount of time, getting 50 Sun sprites / stars in it. But any time I start playing Sunshine, it just feels like a damn chore. The controls are horrendous. They are super clunky and frustratingly difficult to maneuver at times. Then comes the Camera Angle issue which I've heard bad things about before. The camera has a mind of its own. It randomly spazzes out on me, causing me to miss important jumps and die, having to start over.

    The gameplay is really bad and poorly designed. I'm stuck at 50 Sun Stars / Sprities because there is a certain Secret Level that is insanely difficult to complete. This game doesn't have that Sand Box feel like Mario 64 and other amazing Mario games. Instead, you're FORCED to complete stupidly difficult tasks to progress instead of just being allowed to complete the challenges that YOU want and progress the game that way. Being forced to do certain things is NOT fun. Overall, Mario Sunshine is complete garbage. And now that I've played every single 3D Mario Game out there, I can honestly say Sunshine is the WORST. Makes perfect sense why Nintendo never re-released it until now.

    As for Mario Galaxy, I must say, this game is an MASTER PIECE. 1 hour in, and I love it. Seeing how others say MG2 is better, I am a little disappointed that MG2 was not included in this collection. I would gladly trade Mario Suncrap for Mario Galaxy 2 to be apart of this collection. That being said, I've given this game a 6.5 out of 10, because Sunshine - (1/3 of the game) is terrible and there's no Mario Galaxy 2. Other than that, Mario 64 and Galaxy are amazing, and its awesome to play them with updated graphics and on my Switch that can go anywhere I want with it.

    As for the $60 price tag. I paid $50 for it (Plus California sales tax). Amazon randomly refunded me $10 for this game. Not sure why, but I'm happy with it. 2 amazing games for $50 is well worth the price.    … Expand

    Nintendo really did us dirty. This is hands down the biggest cash grab that they have ever produced. They reached into the wallets of all Nintendo fans and took their 60 dollars for what basically amounts to a couple old games slapped onto the Switch with little to no improvement. Here are the biggest issues:

    Super Mario 64: This game received a UI texture overhaul which looks nice, as well as a couple textures such as Mario's hat and overalls. This is great and makes the game feel a little updated, but somehow the game still runs at 30 fps in a 4:3 square aspect ratio. They have given no reason why this is the case, and it is honestly really sad that a multibillion dollar company can't put as much work into making a game run at 1080p widescreen with 60 fps at least. The excellent community behind the Mario 64 Decompile project did such great work reverse engineering the game, that now you can play the game in all it's beauty in a way that is much better than Nintendo's efforts for the Switch version. (*cough* googlesm64pcBuilder2 *cough*)

    Super Mario Sunshine: This is by far the game I have the most nostalgia for in the collection. I will admit that it was fun replaying this classic on Switch, but we have similar problems here to Mario 64. While it is nice to have some of the texture improvements and widescreen, zero effort was put in to making the game run in 60 fps. The game is plagued with frame drops and bugs. The Dolphin Emulator has been able to run this game in 1080p 60fps with an HD texture pack for years now. The controls are no longer inverted in the collection, which is really disorienting for fans of the original, and the updated controls are just not as good. You can't even use the GameCube controller adapter for Smash Brothers Ultimate in order to enjoy those classic controls. The fact too that this game has things like debug cubes visible in levels and other such things is such a spit in the face of fans of the original game, and only adds to the evidence that this was a quick cash grab.

    Super Mario Galaxy: Ignoring the fact that they ignored the excellent sequel to this game entirely and are pretending that it didn't exist, this is the only game out of the collection to run at 1080p 60 fps. From what I've seen most people agree that this game is the highlight of the collection. While there are still some bugs present, this version is at least close to matching the experience of the original. I will need to play this version more to comment on the quality. Seriously though, how can they just sweep Mario Galaxy 2 under the rug like this.

    Conclusion: This is a horrible cash grab of a collection of 3 classic masterpieces. When Activision of all companies, (who are usually considered way more greedy than Nintendo) can release the excellent Vicarious Visions remasters of Crash Bandicoot and Tony Hawk at very reasonable prices and with a boat load of extra content to boot, but yet Nintendo can't, this is simply a direction that the company is going in that I cannot stand behind.

    Not to mention, you die hard Nintendo Fans better pick this game up quick while you still can, because in March you won't find it on the eshop or on store shelves. This is such a scummy release all around.    … Expand

Nothing extra, no QOL improvements. $60 price tag. It's a slap in the face from a company that is showing increasing levels of distain for its customer base (see library of dripfed snes and nes games and no sign of N64 or GC games)… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Que estoy calificando? Los juegos originales, o el pack apestoso que Nintendo nos ofrece por 60 eurazos? 30 puntos, o ninguno?… 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.

    Not sure why this release is worth $60, it's just a ROM dump of three old games with very little changes. Fans have made better attempts at Mario 64 HD for free.

    Nintendo had the chance to knock this one out of the park, but they settled for a bunt. [Issue #49 – November/December 2020, p. 72]

    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.

    Super Mario 3D All-Stars is three masterpiece games in a lacklustre package thanks to poor upgrades, contrived control choices and barely any extra content. [Issue #2, p. 72]
