They can't get over it, LOL.
The best part is that it has been said here for a while that Galaxy 2 wouldn't be in the collection and many are acting blindsided.

So why is Galaxy 2 not on Mario 3D All-Stars?

I'm able to play it on dolphin entirely with an Xbox one controller, and clever mapping of the motion controls.
Probably because of the pointer controls for controlling Yoshi. It's pretty clear that they didn't want to make much effort with this collection, so including Galaxy 2, would've need a lot of rework on the controls for Yoshi.
I can't shake the feeling that it was supposed to be there, when I see this:
It really feels like the game is missing in that fourth column. As if it was there at some point but they removed it and slapped the logo of the compilation instead. That empty column is really jarring.

How does the game decide what's "most important?" What if the player wanted something else? This would shift the gameplay for a lot of levels and is pretty far removed from the "as you remember" intention of these ports/remasters.
Despite being $60, it's a bare bones, low budget collection. Nintendo didn't want to spend the time/money getting Galaxy 2 running on Switch.

You're never gonna make using the right analog stick to control an on-screen cursor anywhere near as immediate or functional for a game like Galaxy 2, as IR pointing was.
Hell, I only ever found one PC controller that was even kinda suitable as a wholesale replacement for use with Dolphin (besides, well, mouse & keypad) - that being the Steam controller, with its trackpads working really elegantly for the purpose. Everything else I've tried, including using gyro, has fallen short.
It's one game from each gen but it's really because money: they could give it a stand-alone re-release for $40 (my bet's on that), or they could do a Galaxy bundle for $60 since All-Stars will be a limited release. Either way it's shitty.

Same for me. In the video, it lingered on this image for a good few seconds, I thought for sure that last column was going to fill in with Galaxy 2 to surprise you before the end of the trailer.. But nope. That's it I guess.
Honestly just thinking about the Grandmaster Galaxy Yoshi section with autocontrol would lead to so many ragequits since not only are the targets are really close but you have to do it in the air while dodging Goombas and Bullet Bills
Edit: but now thinking about it how are they going to make the pull stars usable?
Edit 2: wait i now see it since you can't move while in the pull star unlike Yoshi the thing they can do is simply letting you move it with the stick

I think the video posted illustrates why this would be a problem; the "closest" thing might be an enemy when you really want to reach the flower. These are actually pretty important fundamentals of game design that can't yet be easily tweaked when you want a port collection that's 1:1.
That's not getting into more complicated segments like Grandmaster Galaxy.
So they're holding it back to make an extra buck off of people?
Didnt notice this before. Does look like something should he there. Perhaps G2 needed more time.I can't shake the feeling that it was supposed to be there, when I see this:

Because a ton of people don't care about a $15 vs ~$20 price for each of the four games with higher resolution and portability. Especially for some of the most loved games ever.
I know making the joy con required would be screwed up for lite users and people who play handheld, but would the joy cons be a good replacement for yoshi pointer controls? It's been awhile since I've played it and never did grandmaster galaxy, but having some sort of auto target or w/e and joy con options be a good middle ground? That way everyone could atleast get through the mandatory yoshi stars with relative easy if they didn't want to use joy cons, and then those who do Grandmaster have the joy cons since its more complicated.
I know it wouldn't be easy, but I'd just love Galaxy 2 on switch along with the others in some form.
Because of Yoshi and/or switch lite. With how much people complained when it was assumed that you were required to use the Joycons to play Galaxy 1 I can't say I blame Nintendo here.
Personally I would prefered they full stop required use of the Joycons for Galaxy 1 and 2 and included 2.

Auto-locking was how Yoshi's tongue worked in Sunshine. Needless to say it only worked that way because of how that game was designed, and even then I use the word "worked" generously.
It's kinda fascinating that Galaxy 2 was the game that took a greater advantage of the console's unique controls, despite the game eschewing the novelty of its setting a bit more than the first game did. Usually - especially for a controller as unique as the Wii had - you'd expect a game like that to come out at the beginning of a console's lifetime rather than the end of it.

I'll post my mappings in bit, not near my computer currently.
It's probably going to be a $20 DLC pack at some point
Also this is a good lol:

It does have a touch screen though, which is how they're handling it with Galaxy 1
Galaxy 2 Special Edition with Wii-themed Joycons and a sensor bar for $99
Yes, but Galaxy 2 requires much more action while using the pointer than 1 ever does.
Really ticked me off
Would have pushed me to get day one
instead i guess i'll wait for the standalone games

Kind of forgot what the addition of Yoshi did with the pointer controls. It would have been almost impossible to emulate with a handheld switch.
I hope this doesn't mean we never see a switch release of skyward sword.
