Never the damn mind. 64 and Sunshine aren't 60 FPS and 64 is a straight port. Fuck off Nintendo. Keeping it digital limited so people forget about it quickly.

Looks decent.16:9 is appreciated. Some better AA would be nice, though they did mention the games will be running at a higher resolution. Sunshine looked 30 FPS. Probably will pick it up anyway.
Super Mario 3D Most-stars!
Mario's importance for Nintendo can literally not be overstated, so yeah: people expected them to go all-out for a 35th anniversary collection.
Instead they managed to announce a collection that is not only incomplete, but the games that are included look unimpressive.
I think calling Nintendo lazy for this is understandable, but that's not directed at the developers (I know they work hard and don't make the calls), but at the higher-ups.
I know you didn't ask me, but for me it would have been a good collection if:
- Galaxy 2 was included
- Every game was 1080p, widescreen and 60 fps

Indeed. I don't like the insecurity that comes with owning an "available for a limited-time only" digital game from Nintendo. But I also play all my games digital on Switch and don't cartridge swap (BotW is the only physical game I own and it's never left that slot haha).
I just discovered Mario Sunshine Gamecube actually supported widescreen through a cheat code, they just never put the option into a menu to enable it. So that's how they could get it widescreen in this game without making big changes.
I absolutely wouldn't expect anything but a res bump and control options for traditional and pointer.
They're going to release a Super Mario Whoops! All Stars! Collection with just Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 later :D
Pre-orders are up at Best Buy: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/super-mario-3d-all-stars-nintendo-switch/6414104.p?skuId=6414104
But, the thing is, the only real way to "demand more" is by not buying it. We all know we will.
This thread will prove the "screw Nintendo" era is a bubble when the collection is a massive success sales wide.
edit: copying from my recent post in this thread: I didn't mean intend to say "criticisms against the Mario collection are invalid". I just kept seeing the "this collection is barely touched up, screw Nintendo" and felt, it was funny considering that regardless of the comments, it will sell very well, even if it is just small enhancements to these games. That is all. Didn't mean to dismiss any criticisms.

Just pre-ordered from Best Buy, can't wait! Too bad Sunshine didn't have some kind of enhancement/fix/counter for Blue Coins. Oh well, still will be amazing to finally play these in HD and on the go.
Fair enough.
And actually I felt bad, I didn't really mean to single you out. I actually agree with a number of the points people feel sore about.
But there's a general level of hyperbole in these threads which I'm finding kind of depressing, and I think you got the unlucky draw. Sorry about that!
I hope the collection goes up on Amazon. I'm not against getting it digitally since my Switch library is almost exclusively digital (Save for BotW, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Xenoblade DE, and Wolfenstein II), but I'd rather have this one physically.
Port quality and price, that shit is subjective and arguable all day long. $20 a piece for good games in a collection isn't awful, especially playing them on your current console on the go, even with a perceived lack of effort in porting them. That limited availability shit, Nintendo need to fuck off with that crap. Just sell fucking games, quit with the artificial scarcity crap, your games already hold their value absurdly longer than other games as it is, no need to give scalpers more power on top of that.
Hard to see this as anything other than a cynical, corporate cash grab rather than an actual celebration of their work and legacy. The Disney vault-y shit is very outdated in a world of streaming content and near instant gratification, yet more wacky backward-ass policy from a company that seems to revel in making things just a little bit shitty for no reason.

Are you seeing people predicting this will be a sales flop? All I see is people upset with the complete lack of effort.
I'm fine with the games included (is there any reason why it would be difficult to include Galaxy 2 though, like is there anything about it that's different from the first game?) and the rest of the details, because I don't think any of the games required a big face lift in any way, but pressure needs to be absolutely heaped on Nintendo to backtrack on making this collection a limited time offer, not only physically but digitally too. Like many, I suspect it's so they can sell them at a later date separately but until we hear from them that the pricing will be split equally, this shouldn't be acceptable.
Considering the game is only being sold digitally for 6 months, it's obvious there will never be DLC for it.
It's the exact thing that was rumored that you refused to believe. I told you, they were going to port 3 games and release them.
Not sure why people were expecting anything more...or less.
I agree, I hope Galaxy 2 is DLC or something. I imagine they must have something in mind for it.
The main thing, as you said, is that calling developers lazy is completely uncalled for and inappropriate. Saying Nintendo is lazy is entirely different, although I still personally wouldn't.
Lol, there's nothing to be proven. Of course it's gonna sell well. It's three 3D Mario games in one package, releasing on one of the best-selling consoles ever in a period where there's few high-profile games competing with it.
Fans being disappointed with this doesn't mean they think it won't sell well. They're not mutually exclusive.
How is making a full Gamecube emulator "lowest effort"? That's a whole lotta work. The lack of 60fps support isn't due to "effort", not once you are emulating the game; it's a development choice.
Seen a lot of others ask this morning and I will echo it as well:
How will Sunshine work without analog triggers?
Game is out in 2 weeks. Will I have to play Sunshine with the GCN controller to have the optimal experience, or can I play with the Pro Controller and they've figured out some kind of workaround that doesn't suck?

Yep, but they know the game will sell anyway because it's Mario.
Arg I was really hyped for this but the barebones remastering is disappointing. Like Mario 64 isn't even wide screen and 64 and Sunshine are not in 60 fps. No work on textures beyond the 1080p bump. And the fact that Galaxy 2 was completely ommited from the entire presentation was terrible. Very hesitant to buy this now, but portable-ish Galaxy in 1080p might push me.
Lol, watch Galaxy 2 be included on the Game & Watch as one of the '35 little touches' :^)
