Part of Nintendo’s Super Mario Bros.35th Anniversary celebration, the collection of Super Mario remasters was confirmed. Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a collection higher resolution, smoother-performing versions of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy will be coming to Nintendo Switch on September 18th 2020. The highly-anticipated trilogy will even include a Super Mario Music Player, letting you listen to the “epic music from these games”.
Fans should keep in mind that not only will a limited number of physical copies be made, but even the digital version of the collection will only be available until the end of March 2021. If any Mario players ever wanted to place a pre-order on the Nintendo store for anything, the time is now.
Super Mario 64 (Nintendo 64), Super Mario Sunshine (GameCube) and Super Mario Galaxy (Wii) were originally released in 1996, 2002 and 2007 respectively. Each title had received critical acclaim and acquired a status of legacy amongst Super Mario titles, causing eventual ports or remasters on new platforms to be in very high demand. Rumours of the trilogy started as early as March 2020, being part of Nintendo’s rest-of-year line-up in first-party games.
Is the 18th too long to wait? Then scratch that itch for great new titles by checking out the best looking indie games releasing in September.
