Super Mario 3D All-Stars offers three excellent games in close to their original forms, but it misses a lot of opportunities to polish and improve them.

All three games are absolute classics, Renders at high definition, Bonus music player

No visual or mechanical improvements to fix rough edges, Doesn't run at 60 frames per second, Lacks Super Mario Galaxy 2

: 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.

Upscaled graphics, Three games in one purchase, The nostalgia is real

A lazy port, Dated controls, Overpriced

Why are you looking at this? Go and play Super Mario 3D All-Stars now! Oh, still here? Fine. Nintendo has done the utterly expected and pulled at the nostalgia strings of all generations to bring a triple threat of titles to Nintendo Switch and make its rectangle of delight almost irresistible.

The stars are all here!

Enhanced textures in Mario 64, New control options for Mario Galaxy, Resolution upgrades across the board, Three amazing games that have aged surprisingly well, Widescreen support for Mario Sunshine

Old bugs still remain, Some elements haven't aged as well as others, Upgrades are largely surface level

The other thing they released was a Game & Watch handheld that lets you play the original Super Mario Bros., the Japan only sequel, plus a Mario version of Ball and a special clock. As of this writing, I haven’t been able to find this one yet.

Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy are exceptional, timeless games; Galaxy still looks great; Fascinating to experience the evolution of 3D Mario games in one package;

Almost nothing new and few bonus features for series veterans; The games are barely remastered; Camera issues in the first two games remain ; Galaxy is awkward to play in handheld;

Long ago, in the days of the Super NES, Nintendo released Super Mario All-Stars. It was a brilliant idea, a collection of three classic 2D Mario games (and the original Super Mario Bros. 2, which was never released in North America) on a single SNES cartridge, all overhauled with new, more detailed, more colorful 16-bit graphics. Now, nearly 30 years later, Nintendo is bringing out its second Mario All-Stars collection: Super Mario 3D All-Stars. This $59.99 Nintendo Switch release includes Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy, all on a single card or download. These games don’t get major graphical upgrades like the games in the original All-Stars, or the more recent Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy and Spyro Reignited Trilogy collections on the PlayStation 4, but they’re still classics that play just as well as they did on their original consoles. Inexplicably, Nintendo is only offering Super Mario 3D All-Stars as a “limited release.” This doesn’t just mean ...
