Title
I think Scott The Woz said it best. This is obviously a very low effort collection, but they put SOME effort into it, enough where I think it would have made more sense if they put NO effort into it. Nintendo made some good improvements to these classic games, but they should have gone further, you know like the pirates they are competing against. Nintendo up scaled the textures in Mario 64, that should have required SOME effort, so why not also make it in widescreen, at 60fps, and also be able to select the Rumble Pack version or the NTSC version of 64 which is favored by speed runners? Nintendo up scaled the textures in Sunshine and made it in Widescreen, that should have required SOME effort, so why not make it run at 60 fps? Galaxy has controller support and up scaled textures, that should have required SOME effort, but why not improve the menus with controller support? The inclusion of the soundtracks with its own media player is very cool, that should have required SOME effort, but why not also slap those babies on streaming services and Vinyl? That's what is so frustrating about this collection, Nintendo cared enough to do these things, but they should have gone further in making this re release the definitive versions of these classic games.

I love Mario, and I am a Nintendo fanboy so I am happy that these games are being re released at all, so I don't have to play these games on an emulator not getting an authentic experience (I know all of these games run on emulators made by Nintendo, so in a way its no different from playing these games on Dolphin or Project64, but still it feels different playing Nintendo games, on a Nintendo console, with a Nintendo controller, compared to your PC or Android Phone with an Xbox controller or a keyboard), and so I don't have to shell out $80 for a used copy of Sunshine and a used Gamecube. But I will admit, those emulators and that native PC port of Mario 64 offer more customizable versions of these games that have more effort put into them by hobbyists, compared to the lower effort put into it by official paid Nintendo developers. I still love these games, but this collection should have been much more and then some, because it's Mario, and he deserves the best treatment possible.

It also sucks that this game is a collectors item now.

Title
3 Great Games... Mediocre Collection
Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a weird one. It was created to celebrate Mario's 35th Anniversary and is a Compilation of 3 (Very great) Mario games which are Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy. I'm happy these games are on here but I feel like there should've been more...

Most video game collections will have more than just games. They will have music, art, trailers, etc.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars only has the 3 games with brief summaries on them and the 3 soundtracks of these games. No artwork (Unless you count the loading screens), no trailers, etc. There's not much here.

These games are also simply ports. They aren't changed all that much (apart from some minor changes in Mario 64 such as the removal of the Backwards Long Jump and "So long gay Bowser".)

The games have all gotten new controls for the Switch (Which you can't change by the way), Are all bumped up to HD which makes games like Mario Galaxy look incredible and made Mario Sunshine widescreen. Mario 64 weirdly doesn't have widescreen.

The controls I've heard bothers people. But I didn't really mind apart from a few times.

Nintendo has also seemed to just pretend that Super Mario Galaxy 2 doesn't exist as it isn't on here.

It's also full price at 60 dollars and is a limited release. The game should be 40 dollars and if they wanted to make it limited, they could've just made the physical release limited rather than both.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a fun experience that takes you through the history of Nintendo's Red Italian Plumber... But the price, limited run, and lack of features hurts it...

If you have a Switch, please buy... But don't expect a whole lot

Happy 35 Years Mario

Title
Amazing Games, Awful Collection
Do not buy this collection:

- The superior way to play SM64 is with 'Super Mario 64 Plus' on PC, you can play it at 4K@60FPS (wide-screen) and you have a myriad of options to spice up the gameplay and improve the camera (you also have options to leave the gameplay and camera unchanged from the original for a purist experience).

- The superior way to enjoy Sunshine is on Dolphin with an HD texture pack and a gamecube controller. (you can also make it wide-screen if you want or use any controller you want/keyboard)

- The superior way to experience Super Mario Galaxy is on Dolphin as well with an HD texture pack (this one looks very beautiful with the HD texture pack) and either a Wiimote or a Pro Controller (using the gyroscope or just the right stick for aiming; again, you can use any controller or input method you want).

I get that some people are not okay with emulating and yadayada but if Nintendo is expecting us to pay 60 bucks for a collection like this, they should at least put some effort into it.

I suggest experiencing these games with the methods I previously mentioned for the superior experience.

    I feel like I wouldn't be so offended by this if they simply didn't exclude Galaxy 2, which just makes no sense to me. It was critically acclaimed and it's a popular game in the series. I could simply live with the fact that they did the bare minimum, like sure whatever there are still 3 great games here to play that weren't botchered in the slightest, but why exclude Galaxy 2?
