Will the physical release be in all regions? Or only NA? It wasn't clear from the video I watched...
I hope so because this is going to be absolutely terrible for everyone. Game preservation is already questionable enough with digital games as it is. Now we're putting time limits on digital games? Absolutely ridiculous. I wouldn't even expect this from the worst publishers out there.I think it was inevitable Nintendo would try to pull this when it became clear digital was going to be the way forward pretty soon.
I actually think they may reconsider this one though tbf.
As someone who has never played Sunshine or Galaxy...I'm in! Can definitely understand the frustrations from some, but looks great to me.

GameXplain discussion video on this, not sure if it has been posted yet -
They said amatuers with the 64 source code were able to get Super Mario 64 running at 60 FPS and 16:9 within a day of work.
It isn't. Your use of Tomb Raider DE as an example leads me to believe that you haven't really kept up with the technical side of these current-gen versions.
Onimusha is advertised as a high resolution/definition version of the PS2 game, it's not a remaster.
TR DE is an actual remaster, upgraded and enhanced graphics, new graphical features like TressFX, new character models, higher performance, etc.
If the resolution details that some websites have shared are definitve (they are, the game is going to release soon), Nintendo is not even upgrading Galaxy to run at 1080p all the time :
Super Mario 64
Docked mode: 960 × 720 pixels - Handheld mode: 960 × 720 pixels
Super Mario Sunshine
Docked mode: 1920 × 1080 pixels - Handheld mode: 1280 × 720 pixels
Super Mario Galaxy
Docked mode: Up to 1920 x 1080 pixels - Handheld mode: Up to 1280 x 720 pixels
So, they release 2 30 FPS games and a "up to" 1080p game (a port of a 2007 game).
What a mess, even if the pixel count is almost always 1080p-

If you alternate opening and closing your eyes fast enough you can get a pseudo-40 FPS but otherwise yeah 20 FPS max for humans :P
Funnily enough, Activision has been showing us how it's done for a few years now. Crash Trilogy, Crash Team Racing, Spyro Trilogy and now Tony Hawk, all of which released and are releasing at $40.And only a week after even Activision shows us how an actual fair and competent remaster can look like with THPS.
- No Galaxy 2
- No 16:9 for 64
- Limited Time playground for Scalpers
- Absolutely not remasters at all. Just high res ports. Seriously, they couldn't have upped the model quality on 64, or man even the aspect ratio again like, seriously?
This is the absolutely worst they could have handled this. This is the most barebones, worst version of this collection. I am amazed and so disappointed.
no new purchases, redownloads will be fineSo when they say limited digital release for this, and that it's getting taken down in March, does that mean it will be off the Eshop entirely? Like, even those who bought it won't be able to redownload it anymore? Because that would be awful.
I sure hope so lol
They always sell Wii U ports by themselves since they are basically new titles to 90% of Switch owners. There was never a chance of bundling 3D World with these games.

It's pretty amazing that, like, 16:9 support was the literal worst case bare minimum most people were hoping for 64, and, like, we didn't even get that.
With Nintendo, you need to start your expectations with the bare minimum, and then you take it down one more notch.
I also see a listing on Best Buy for Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury coming out February 2021.
I agree with Gamexplain (one of them) that having the game 2 weeks from now makes them far more appealing than announcing them before. Yeah the ports are crap, but are almost here now so people will buy them without thinking too much about the fucking scam this pack is.
Except it's not a scam? We know what we're getting. Nintendo never claimed that it would be anything else.
Oh lord, Galaxy is unplayable on Switch Lite without the use of Joycons?
Yeah, that's a hard pass lol. Profoundly mediocre is the kindest I can be towards this collection. It's only being released to make money, not out of passion.
So will these games have all the exploits that speedrunners are used to or will they "fix" them?
You just need seperate joycons for the Co-Star mode, that's it.
Mario 64 seems to be based on an updated JP-only version that removes the BLJ exploit.
Apparently it's only the co-op mode that requires an additional Joycon, but your feelings toward this collection still apply lol. If I get it, it'll only be because I've been wanting to replay Galaxy for years now and if a friend is able to score a copy for me for a fair price. Honestly, I would've preferred a Galaxy 1 and 2 pack for $60 a lot more, I would've gladly paid for that.Oh lord, Galaxy is unplayable on Switch Lite without the use of Joycons?

I think they're just being hyperbolic and trying to say that the collection is very bad.

Target 30 but could drop to 20s sometimes.
