It's a shame Galaxy 2 isn't in that pack but.. not bad.

Mario 3d Worlds is great fun

Would have liked something more than ports though, just saying :messenger_tears_of_joy:

3D World getting some love is overdue. It shouldn’t have had to live isolated on Wii U for this long.

But all-in-all, basically what you’d expect. Not really interested in repurchasing these games again, but won’t fault those who do.

Uhh that 3D All Stars thing is some lazy bullshit. The games aren't remastered, 64 doesn't even have the DS features/enhancements and no Galaxy 2? Also that Battle Royale thing looks cool why would they make it a limited thing?
Oh well we're getting Mario All Stars today so still a good day.

Weird to see Galaxy 2 not included? I could have sworn that some of the footage was from it (but it has been a long time). I feel like stopping short of a game that runs on the same engine, looks almost exactly the same, builds on everything the original did, and is almost as beloved as it’s predecessor, with debates between the two to this day, is a bit questionable.

At this point, Galaxy 1 without it’s companion piece is a bit like Oreos without milk. You’re still happy to have a delicious Oreo, and they made their name as a snack before people started dunking them in milk, but something’s missing. Particularly given we’ll probably never have a chance for an official modern release of this game again.

Of course, I’m skipping the obvious, that the three of them back in action, portable, and looking this amazing, is a blessing itself, but that’s going to be a common theme in here. It is wonderful to not only have SM64 on this system, but for SMS and Galaxy to have their first encore performance.

I am beginning to wonder if Nintendo expects all of their fans to have Alzheimers based on all how often they keep releasing the same shit each generation.

Piss off.

I don't pay attention to those youtubers or twitter etc so it's awesome that we have Jooxed Jooxed giving us updates and speculation.

I want that Game and Watch, and I'll probably get the package for Sunshine and Galaxy.

I already have SM3DW on my Wii U so eh.

No galaxy 2 and limited run on the game is insanely ridiculous. Plus that battle royale game is also a limited time game to play. Seriously, I have no idea what Nintendo is thinking here. What should’ve been a great announcement has kinda been soured I feel.

Sucks that that Mario 35 Battle Royale is a limited time too. Only til March 2021? What the fuck? Just keep it going like Tetris 99.

Well at least they are giving us Mario all stars on the SNES online service instead of charging us $50 like they did on the Wii for the exact same rom

Strange that the rumours about remasters and remakes were wrong.

Why Galaxy 2 was missing from the clip show?

Will be buying the 3D collection for sure.
