    3 of the best games of all time, not much more to say. The collection is bare bones, it includes the soundtracks for each game and some little tidbits of info, and the improvements are mainly resolution and some FPS stability, but the games are unmatched in the genre.

This is fantastic collections of 3 of the best games ever made and they look better than ever and play as well as always. In order to play all this games without this collection you would have to pay a lot of money to get the original titles and the original consoles, you could also use emulation but good emulation is usually a constant headache, normally goes toe to toe with piracy and you dont have the benefits of playing on the go.

    Sunshine alone justifies this purchase, the game improves massively with the new wide aspect ratio and 1080p, Galaxy is still one of the best games ever done, looking better than ever, the improvements arent as massive but the game didnt need them, Mario 64 deserved maybe a bit morre of work put into it but is the same classic as always and looks way better than on N64.

    This collection is an absolute blast and totally worth the price.    … 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.

    A great deal that shouldn't be missed.    … Expand

    This is exactly what I asked for, each game a console pushing masterpiece on its' coinciding hardware; running smooth and looking so clean. This is far from a lackluster port, sure, you can always ask for more. But, the fact that this exists is a testament to the staying power and influence of the Nintendo Switch. Thank you, Nintendo. ♥️

    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.

If you have to keep the graphics the game in a port, this is how it's done. If it wasn't for the limited time release, I would recommend this over Odyssey and call it a Switch Essential!… Expand

    Absolutely loved this collection. Personally having never played 64 it stood out as the weakest of the three. The camera controls are pretty bad and movement feels less precise than in later entries. It's also tough to figure out what to do a lot of the time but it was a fun experience overall.

    Revisiting sunshine was just an absolute pleasure. I'd forgotten how much fun that game is.    Absolutely loved this collection.

    Revisiting sunshine was just an absolute pleasure. I'd forgotten how much fun that game is. There are a couple of annoying levels. The chuckster one and yoshi's fruit adventure can be a little annoying but the vast majority of the game is just pure fun. The story has quite a bit of charm to it as well.

    This was my first time playing galaxy and boy was it a joy to play through. It's a little lacking in challenge I think but there's so much fun and creativity present that I just had a really amazing time playing through it.

    The only real downside is that these games were removed from the e-shop. It's a shame that Nintendo would remove it. I can't fault the games themselves though. It would also be nice if they'd included super mario galaxy 2 as well. I'd love to try it.

    I also found the collection kind of highlighted some of the issues with odyssey. Having gone back and replayed odyssey I can see how the lack of challenge, the ease of finding power moons and the focus on exploration over platforming would frustrate some long time fans.    … Expand

    "They are emulated copies"
    "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

    Excelente juego mantiene la esencia de los juegos originales, por ser de colección no es para todo el mundo por eso tiene fecha límite, y no importa si es emulado ya que es su propiedad intelectual y está bien ejecutado. En hora buena por Nintendo y gracias a los que le echaron hate y que hicieron la publicidad que Nintendo necesitaba.

Es honesta, sencilla, y va al grano. Y lo más importante: trata con respeto a las obras originales. Habían un par de problemas de emulación en Sunshine que subsanaron con actualizaciones, y la opción de invertir los controles de cámara, así como la compatibilidad del mando de GameCube para Sunshine fueron implementados también en una actualización (y más recientemente, compatibilidad con el mando de N64 de Switch Online). Las pegas que podía tener han sido corregidas (excepto el puntero en Galaxy en modo portátil), y por tanto, la colección, por mi parte, pasa a merecer un 10. Es casi perfecta, es lo mejor que pudo ser. Había una clara visión con 3D All-Stars: adaptar juegos de tres consolas distintas, procurando que se sientan bien al jugar, lo más parecido posible a la experiencia original, y remasterizando ligeramente el apartado visual, que queda, una vez más, lo mejor que podía quedar. Ni 1080p para Super Mario 64, ni 60fps, ni el formato panorámico, como debía ser, a fin de aproximarse a las visuales y experiencia de juego originales. Si queréis jugar a Mario 64 con alteraciones tenéis emuladores gratuitos (ilegales, pero a quién le importa). Las quejas por estas nimiedades o porque no fueron remakes son meros lloriqueos de quienes no entienden en que consiste considerar los videojuegos como arte. Sí, son juguetes, pero juguetes artísticos, con intenciones artísticas. Mario 64 es Mario 64, y no puede ser otra cosa. ¿Queréis que Nintendo reinvente Mario 64? Ya lo hizo con Sunshine, Galaxy, Galaxy 2, 3D Land, 3D World, Odyssey y Bowser's Fury. ¿Queréis que Nintendo se cargue el legado de Mario 64? Ya lo hizo con su remake, Mario 64 DS. Lo mismo ocurrió con el All-Stars de SNES, que es un destrozo de las obras originales; esta colección supera con creces a aquella de la que hereda su nombre. El mayor error de la colección y contradicción interna respecto a lo que pretende ser, fue invertir los controles de cámara en Mario 64 y Mario Sunshine como forma de accesibilidad, pero reconocieron su error y ahora están presentes las dos opciones.… Expand

    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.
