    what about some cool concept art, or something other extras, how about actually updating Mario 64's visuals to at least the standards of Galaxy 1 - I would've been more than pleased with that. but no, Nintendo is all about maximum profits, for minimum efforts - as usual..

    Un juego de colección y pero, con la amenaza de "solo por tiempo limitado" Nintendo sabe como mojar a sus usuarios para que no se lo piensen dos veces y como dicen "TAKE MY MONEY"

    Como me gustaría poder subir imágenes para que vean que el juego lo tengo en físico, lo compre por colección y por que me salió con 40% de descuento en Liverpool pero realmente no tenia planeado comprarlo a los 70 dólares que es lo que cuestan aquí en México, esos juegos ya los disfrute en mi 64, GC y Wii pero maldita nostalgia, que lo único extra sea su música de manera digital cuando tienes varios medios como spootify o youtube para escuchar esa música, mínimo la colección de Megaman X te trae los 7 juegos, el arte conceptual y ese agregado especial de pelear contra los jefes, pero bueno, Nintendo es Nintendo y por eso hace lo que quiere

    One point for each game. This is such a lazy cash grab. There are 4k 60fps versions of Mario 64 in 16:9 and Nintendo gives us 720 30fps and 4:3 for an ANNIVERSARY edition game. People are starting to look at Nintendo differently and before it gets out of control they need to stop being so lazy.

I don't understand why Nintendo just didn't give this the same treatment as they gave Ocarina of Time & Majoras Mask on the 3DS all those years ago. Instead, we get a lazy barebones super package for the "35th anniversary". Which sucks since Mario is their "biggest" franchise and in turn does not bode well for the anniversary of both Legend of Zelda and Metroid next year.

    As much as I appreciate replaying these classic games, the compilation feels lazily put together. One of my main gripes is that Mario 64 is not widescreen. On a switch lite that means you are squinting at a tiny box in the middle of your screen. How can an unofficial port on PC be in 4K widescreen, whereas Nintendo themselves can't do it...laziness!

    The £50 price tag is not at all justified

    The amount of work put into these ports is almost non-existent. At least they changed Sunshine to 16:9 but why not Mario 64? It looks ridiculous with it's huge black frame. And the camera controls of 64 are really weird because it's meant for the C-buttons on the N64 controller, not for an analogue stick. They could've at least changed that. The only good thing are the very short loading times.

    It has it's flaws, but it's a great collection of games, and anyone who has played the originals knows that there absolutely are improvements. These were never meant to be REMAKES.

    I think there's a lot of rose colored glasses here. I would suggest some of the salty people here to break out a GameCube and play Mario Sunshine on a 4:3 CRT and see if you still think they didn't fix anything.

    These 3 are easily some of my favourite games of all time, but the fact that with the exception of Galaxy the other games use some nasty emulators that don't even hand a candle to the originals in terms on controls on Sunshine and visuals on 64 (Why are those borders even here?) shows how lazy of a collection it is, what a shame.

    Unfortunately a very lazy collection, Mario deserved more.

    The games are still great, but 64 is only 4:3, 64 and Sunshine are 30 frames, both have still the same camera issues of the original versions, no improvements whatsoever in that regard.

    Motion controls are completely forced in Galaxy, even in the menus!

    Altogether incredibly underwhelming for what was supposed to be a big game celebrating Mario's history on 3D platforms. Not only is the collection inexplicably highly time-limited, it's missing a game (that being Super Mario Galaxy 2), and it's painfully obvious across the entire collection that Nintendo only put in the bare minimum amount of effort.

    Super Mario 64 being based on the bugfixed Shindo version released exclusively in Japan is not necessarily a bad thing, even if it does remove some of the game's most iconic glitches and exploits, but unlike Sunshine it's inexplicably still in 4:3 instead of 16:9 and features no meaningful adaptations or additions otherwise.

    Super Mario Galaxy meanwhile is fairly inoffensive for the most part except for the part where the game is literally unplayable on two of the three possible control schemes due to Nintendo's exceptionally poor handling of the matter of the cursor. Using the touch screen for the cursor during gameplay is massively impractical and aiming it with gyro on Pro controller is incredibly awkward. Playing with Joycons feels more or less identical to playing the game as it was on the Wii, but of course comes with the caveat of drift.

    But the real reason for the massively critical score of TWO is Sunshine. Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy weren't handled well, but at least they aren't actively worse than their original versions.

    For those who don't know, in the original version on the GameCube, Sunshine had an interesting, obscure feature colloquially dubbed the 'shotgun spray' or 'spam spray'; by quickly and briefly pressing the R button fully and releasing, Mario would fire out a wide blast of water, which was excellent for clearing large areas of goop, dealing with certain problematic enemies (anyone who's played Sunshine likely has a good idea of what enemies I mean), and in general for just putting out a lot of water at once. This was an intended feature.

    This feature is absent in 3D All-Stars.

    The reason for this is pretty obvious; unlike the GameCube controller and literally every other modern console, the Switch does not feature analogue triggers, and as such this aspect of FLUDD's functionality would not be workable in its original capacity on Switch. Of course, the obvious flaw with this is the fact that every single Switch-compatible controller, with only two exceptions, has additional buttons that this functionality could easily have been assigned to instead. Or it could've been implemented as a combination of both spray buttons. Or it could've been implemented any number of other ways, likely very easily. But they didn't do anything like that. They just removed it.

    It's unbelievably obvious that Nintendo put the absolute bare minimum amount of effort into these ports- which are EMULATED, by the way, they're not even actual ports- if not less, and in doing so have actively taken away from one of the involved games. These are all widely-loved games that did not deserve this kind of treatment.

    I absolutely adore Galaxy, but if I could refund this game, I would. But, of course, it's Nintendo. No refunds for anyone.

    Galaxy was a brilliant game. Easily as good as most modern day platformers and in my opinion better than the sequel. Again, it looks fantastic and plays great when docked. Unfortunately, the controls in handheld haven't been thought through at all. You are expected to take your hand off the controller to touch the screen and collect things while performing difficult platforming sections at the same time.

    So there we have it. One game really showing its age, one game that wasn't much good anyway and the only decent game by modern standards completely ruined for handheld players.

    Incluso el diseño de su portada no es acorde con nada. Deberían al menos haber añadido una caja metálica o Mario Galaxy 2, que es inexplicable porque no lo agregaron.

    Also most people who don’t like this game are just mad about galaxy 2 not being featured and while that does suck, it would make sense not to include it here as then it would push back the game maybe it will be added as dlc in the near future. Also some people call this a lazy attempt to sell games and make money. That is true but this game is a COLLECTION and not a REMASTER. So of course the games are going to be the same. Overall a great experience but it has a few things that could be patched out so I give it a 9/10

    These Games did deserve better. Nintendo did the minimum they had to do to port them to the Switch. They could have at least tried to remaster them. And worst of all, it will be deleted from the eShop in March 2021. Why? This is the opposite of consumer-friendly.

The addition of the official soundtracks for all three games, while being the games only special feature, is still a very welcome addition.

    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.

    I can't speak for those who got this having already owned the originals but I bought this to play Galaxy and Sunshine since I slept on Nintendo games back during the gamecube and wii eras. Coming from that perspective I have very little issues with the collection and wouldn't even realize there were problems with it if I didn't see all the negative reviews online talking about them.

Coming from that perspective I have very little issues with the collection and wouldn't even realize there were problems with it if I didn't see all the negative reviews online talking about them. To me this is just an HD collection, and I knew that going in so I wasn't expecting all kinds of big sweeping improvements.

    I started with Galaxy, got all 120 stars over about a week. Pretty easy game, and I feel the motion controls were pretty gimmicky and not necessary, but overall I still enjoyed it for the creativity and fun gameplay.

    Sunshine I'm still playing currently, about 3/4 of the shines collected. This one is definitely one of the jankiest Mario games I've played especially where minigames are concerned. At first I didn't like it very much but once I started playing the second level (Ricco Harbor) was when it started clicking for me, and since then I've really been liking it. I might be in the minority but I think I like this game more than Galaxy. I like the water mechanics with fludd and the location is probably my favorite I've been to thus far in the mario universe. It helps that I'm a sucker for sunny colorful water levels in videogames so the atmosphere really does it for me as well, and it's cool how the island feels like it's an actual place you're exploring where you can see other levels in the distance from the one you're currently in. It took me some time to get settled in but I can see why there are people who hold this one in such high regard despite it's rough edges.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. There is no doubt that those games are historical but i feel like they haven't aged very well or at least as well I expected. Nonetheless they are great games and nothing changes that. Let's talk about the individually. Super Mario 64:The nostalgia hit like a truck when I played again this game after so many years(it was the first video game I remember playing) and it's the beginning of everything. For its time, it actually has good moveset and levels but the controls and the camera have aged terribly though. Overall it's great game but definetely not for one to play on 2020 except for nostalgia or if you are a newer fan and want to try the begging of Mario 3D platformers.

    Super Mario Sunshine :This game has incredibly good colors and the overall theme is amazing. In HD it looks way better that it used too.The game though is very challenging comparing to the other 2 and generally to any other Mario 3D platformer. The controls are hard and levels even harder for those controls. Nintendo also removed the long jump in the game for some reason which is one of the most important moves of Mario in all other games. Instead they added Fludd. Overall it's good but very challenging I believe.

    Super Mario Galaxy:This game is the best I believe. It has the best levels, theme and Mario's moveset is controlled way better than the other 2(most of the times). The only con I find ,except that sometimes Mario doesn't go to the direction you want,is that (SPOILER) you have to play the game again as Luigi to 100% it. It's about 25 hours..Overall it's amazing and the best of the 3 I believe. The trilogy here is great even though Nintendo could make some improvements instead of HD ports which are made on emulators...They could fix some controls, bugs and glitches and at the same time keep the nostalgia textures and graphics. I strongly recommend this game nonetheless.

Mario turns like a truck - in a big, wide arc, rather than on a dime like you would expect; the result of which is infuriating as you try to speak to characters or read signposts around the castle and worlds.

    I bought this game however to play Sunshine again and to finally play Galaxy (I had a Wii late in the lifecycle and as such never got around to it). I am not disappointed with Sunshine at all though and the HD textures do what was already a beautiful game justice, but again, the controls are a little hard at times: especially in the platforming levels!

    Was it worth £50? Yes as there are three fantastic games present on the cart.
    Was it in need of an facelift? Certainly yes for 64, which begs the question as to why they didn't use the updated models from the DS release.
    Was it in need of some tweaking? Absolutely, and this is where it falls down as Nintendo seem to have just pulled the ROMs and slapped them on a cart. New camera controls for Sunshine and 64 would have been a must for most players asked and the control scheme itself can be infuriating at times.

    Here's hoping for some patches, but I shan't hold my breath.

I decided to use the pro controller but was again met with dismay to see that the water spraying mechanics are now rigged to both of the R triggers.

    Super Mario 3D All-Stars does the job. But only just. The games are emulated, and while I've seen no graphical glitches thus far, there are audio glitches I hope will be patched soon (but I won't hold my breath). Mario 64 looks better when sourced through unofficial channels, but this is the best these games have looked on a Nintendo console. I can't defend the absence of special features, nor the decisions to emulate the games rather than port /remaster/rebuild them. On the other hand, Nintendo is under no obligation to release any of this, and as someone who missed out on Mario Sunshine and Galaxy in their first release, I'm very happy to play them on the go and in high definition at home.

    Bottom line I can't deny this is a lazily assembled package, but when its this fun, I really can't complain.

    M64 is as good a game as it ever was, and plays well with joy cons or a controller. Textures are a little hard on the eyes in 2020, but it's entirely unedited from the OG. Could have stood to have the extra stars/levels from SM64DS because it's biggest fault was DS controls, but again, they didn't do anything but the bare minimum here.

    I originally was going to say the controls in Sunshine were done poorly, but after talking to someone who played the original game that's just how they were. 40 sprites in and I'm glad I missed this on Gamecube. (Also I genuinely have a hate on for whoever designed the underwater movement, it's like someone said how can we make this not fun and as frustrating and nonsensical as possible).

    Galaxy gets the overall samesies, though having spin attack assigned to a button over motion controls is probably the one improvement that this collection has over the original game. Definitely play it docked though, tilting the switch for motion controls or using the touchscreen to collect star bits isn't ideal.

    If you haven't played one or more of the games included and don't have another way to easily play them it's worth picking up, but calling it an All-Stars collection is a misnomer especially since they did it right with the original All-Stars.

    While the games themselves are good and revolutionary for their time, they haven't aged well and I don't think the best idea is to sell them for $ 60 when there are even remasters or even remakes a lot cheaper. And the excuse that it is that expensive because it is a collector's item or because Mario is an iconic franchise is not worth me, since that would add an extra value to itWhile the games themselves are good and revolutionary for their time, they haven't aged well and I don't think the best idea is to sell them for $ 60 when there are even remasters or even remakes a lot cheaper. And the excuse that it is that expensive because it is a collector's item or because Mario is an iconic franchise is not worth me, since that would add an extra value to it superficially, when that value would only have to be calculated with the quality of the video game, replayability and the work of a company. You can buy PS1 games in the PS Store for less than $ 10, just to give an example of what Mario 64 should have come out individually, since many use the excuse of $ 20 per game, when in reality not it's like that. The games are emulated and there is not a single improvement that makes a second purchase worthwhile, if you already have the originals. And if you don't have them, there are better alternatives. I will not support piracy, but it must be recognized that even fans with the PC port (almost without money) or other companies with their respective ports or remakes have done more remarkable work, and Nintendo does not offer a more attractive alternative to this, improving The titles. Not because you like Mario does it mean you can't recognize this. I would also have suggested putting the Mario Galaxy 2, or putting the DS version of Mario 64 in its place, since as I said, Mario 64 of the 3 is the one that has aged the worst, it would not hurt to fix the outdated camera.
    Some people said that its not a remake, and thats true, but it would be could if Nintendo does what Medievil remake did. The remake itself + the original game. If they had done this instead of the other, of course i will pay $ 60 without problems!
    In short, everyone is free to spend money on whatever they want. Let everyone pay for what they want without being guided by the opinions of others, but at least recognize that it is a very improvable product and that it does not do justice to Mario's anniversary.

    Lazy cash grab. Literally $60 for 3 ports of games that are over a decade old. Don’t support this garbage. I expected better of Nintendo.

    Finally! It's almost perfect! Finally I can play my favourite games on my Switch in HD! The only reason I didn't give it a ten is because Mario Galaxy 2 would have been a great addition.

    I understand not having an option to use the native Gamecube controls, but having no option to change back inverted controls from the original game (For all games), some odd emulations issues, as well as very odd changes overall to different aspects make this feel very 'why' I guess is the best word.

    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

    60$ price for emulated games.... Good job Nintendo, good job.....
    Also the collection is limited and Mario 64 has black bars and not widescreen support.... This is unnaceptable.

    ROMs a 60$ y sin mejoras de ningún tipo, abuso total. No me vengan con que Nintendo no puede lucrar de sus juegos, ellos tienen todo el derecho, pero tienen que ser consientes que son juegos de hace muchos años. Luego que los nintenderos no se quejen que lo único que les dan son humo y refritos si es que apoyan estas prácticas abusivas.

    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]
