So why is Galaxy 2 not on Mario 3D All-Stars?
- Thread starter Uzumaki Goku

I hadn't thought of it, but now that some of you mention it, Yoshi's controls being far from ideal for the Switch Lite makes lot of sense... (without modifying the game more than a simple port)
This is my take as well.
Try to imagine running, jumping, and pointing/using Yoshi's tongue on a touch screen.
Because original Galaxy is still the better product than 2.
Galaxy 2 is awesome but the first game is still more enjoyable to me.

I have said this in another thread, and I will say it here again:
Nintendo is not leaving money on the table. All-stars may be limited, but the games will surely hit the eshop soon afterwards, seperately. I wouldn't be surprised if they will announce this and compliment it with the release of Galaxy 2.
Switch seems to become a home for all 3D Mario games now, and I don't expect Nintendo to leave Galaxy 2 in the ditch when they know full well its worth.
They just aren't throwing everything at consumers at once.

Because it never existed. I'm sorry, but the truth needed to come out sooner or later. It's been nothing but a figment of your imagination this entire time.
Surprised it hasn't been mentioned but it's worth nothing that original Galaxy was already running on Nvidia Shield TV for China, so it was probably just a lot easier to port.

If you live in China, you can now get Mario's classic Wii adventure for Nvidia Shield.

For years people told me that 3d land and 3d world were not 3d Mario games for "reasons". Now that galaxy 2 has been removed from this collection it is also not considered a 3d Mario game.
It was removed? Was it ever announced as being in it in the first place?
So how did this work exactly? It's not the first time I've heard it mentioned as an explanation and it kinda makes Galaxy 2 sound like one of those games that couldn't be brought off the Nintendo system it was released on without significant changes that would alter the game? (Thinking here of something like, say, TLoZ: Phantom Hourglass back on the DS with a number of its puzzles and entire control scheme.)
To be fair, for Nintendo to bundle the three games that are there, is a fucking miracle to me. There was probably some internal resistance that argued it would devalue these games below full price and they ended up with that limited time crap as a compromise. Adding another game? Aw hell naw.
People are overthinking this one.
Much like the 25th Anniversary Wii All-Stars release, this game is meant primarily as a celebration title, rather than an explicitly new and enhanced value proposition for gamers. If you want to play the games in largely their former glory on the Switch, grab this title.
Because of the info glut, we all assume this is Nintendo's tent-pole holiday title, but I don't think that's true. It's much easier to consider the game as a bonus rather than the main course.
As others have said, SMG2 isn't included for mechanical reasons (thanks Yoshi), and 3D World appears to be the high-quality remaster with new content akin to what we expect with titles like WW HD, XBC DE, etc.
Our next-gen 4K remakes of these games are in anothercastle decade's time. Please understand.

"Wasn't in the budget"? Joke post? Do you know how much money Nintendo made last year? Lol
My guess is that later down the line there is a plan to sell each title individually and digitally (for 20$ or so) and that Galaxy 2 will be sold like that.
I would suggest go checking out some videos. It's actually really tightly integrated. People are quick to say "greed" and such, but I'm having a hard time coming up with a way that would work elegantly on handheld or Switch Lite. Even if it were relegated to a right stick, you still need face buttons to jump. It would be a mess. At the very least it wouldn't be anywhere near what kind of dexterity you are expected to work with in the original game.
Huh, this whole time, I thought 3D World was just a Wii U remake of 3D Land. Thanks ya'll.
Holy crap people. What the hell? This has been discussed to death but Nintendo works in mysterious ways much like Jesus.
Tell that to Lost Levels in the SNES All Stars collection.
You would probably just have to have Yoshi's tongue autohit targets, which is too drastic and questionable of a change for what this collection intends to be, a basic "as you remember" release of these games.
Thanks for the timestamp on that. 👍 I wasn't sure where to look, as I obviously haven't played the game, but just seconds in on where you marked the video I see what you and the other person mean. I'm really not sure what could be done about that that wouldn't involve taking control away from the player and making a great deal of the game frustrating. I'm surprised this isn't the reason being touted in this thread and elsewhere now that I get why this was being mentioned so often.
So many great replies in this thread. It's fun to jest from time to time, video games don't need to be serious business 24/7. Wish we could have more threads like this.
Because there is no god
It's the best game that Nintendo has ever created and it gets this treatment.
Also it might be because of Yoshi, but they could make it work if they tried.

Yup. And not to mention, can you imagine how upset people would be if it inevitably auto-targets something they don't want? I wouldn't blame them.
One look at that video should at least show people that the port is not nearly as straightforward as you think.
