yeah but the switch isn't weightless. It's the single worst solution they could've done. I'd literally rather use the gyro than have to hold the switch onehanded controlling mario and touching the screen to starbit goombas.
I mean the single worst solution would have to have made it TV only
Doom Classic on consoles are getting patch updates (today iirc) for widescreen and whatnot.
Surely, Nintendo could at least give Mario 64 a widescreen patch, no? It seems like such a given to leave out.

So I imagine they could make Sunshine's controls work by using the Right trigger as "full power FLUDD" and the right bumper as "half power FLUDD" (or vice versa).
Left trigger is same function as gamecube, and left bumper can be the Z button that brings up your Isle Delfino map.

I could be wrong (it's been quite some time since I played some parts of Galaxy), but I remember having to use the pointer to shoot stars during action and to collect items in the screen, but I don't have any concrete memory of those actions. If it's not required to use the pointer while moving Mario, than it should be fine
They took the DS voicelines like when launching Bowser, yes it sounds weird when you're used to Mario 64.
They should have just adjusted the game so that most star bits you go near automatically come to you, and mapped shaking to the X or Y button. Then the right stick could be full camera control like Sunshine. It boggles my mind how they haven't found a way to make Galaxy fully playable in TV Mode without any motion. Ugh...
Galaxy 2 not being included, Super Mario 64 just being a resolution and aspect ratio bump, and the limited window of availability are all pretty disappointing honestly.
I'll probably still buy this, but was still hoping for a bit more. What's weird is in the trailer towards the end, they have a graphic that shows the three games then the "Super Mario 3D All Stars" seal on the right hand side. Where the seal is, there looks to be enough equidistant space for a fourth game but nope. Kind of strange and makes me think of how people inferred there might be more additional content for Mario Maker judging from conveniently placed gaps in the images of the interface awhile ago now.

Yeah it sounds weird. The sound in those clips might be "bullshotted" for the trailer for all we know.
adding full camera control to galaxy would be a strict downgrade imo :p
it'd probably add a lot of extra work too, given there are probably quite a few areas that were specifically designed to be only seen from one area -- and it gets even kookier with with spherical planets.

You can do it to stun enemies but it's never required because they're so easy normally anyway.
it's mainly used for pull stars/bubble blowing as well as selecting levels and collecting star bits. Collecting star bits is the only time you'll be moving Mario but even then you don't have to and it shouldn't be too bad to get them.
Ya, 64 and Galaxy were $20 on Wii U. These "remasters" are basically those. I can't see them charging $30 for Mario 64.
We had like 10 poorly thoughtout reaction threads despite rules, so Arlo doing 2 videos seems like not much lol.
My apologies technically they are remasters due to the resolution increase but they did nothing else to any of the games graphically (no character remodels, new lighting etc)
I expect a shadow drop most def Q2 2021. You know its coming..
Shazam!
They gonna charge based on what they assume they "gonna get away with". That is how businesses operate, I'm neither judging it positively nor negatively. If I would be Nintendo I would assume I "would get away with" a higher price point. The more revenue, the better.
The fact that 2 out of 3 of the games in this collection are still running at 30fps has me looking like that one Jackie Chan meme
Like, could they have done any less

Major bummer. That PC port of 64 has had more dedication put into it already.
No Galaxy 2, full price, limited release both digital and physical. Yep, this is something Nintendo would do.

Lol wat this is so dumb unless I can use tilt controls with a pro controller lol.
I don't understand posts like this.
Is the goal to purposefully spread misinformation and troll?
You know very well that they're remasters.
Full price, half-assed ports, missing games, limited release (?). Typical Nintendo style, basically what I expected.
Won't be buying.
Won't be buying.
SMG 2 being absent from the collection is definitely disappointing, but I'll be honest, I'd gladly pay 60 € for Sunshine alone. So the other two games are basically a bonus for me. Can't wait to visit Isle Delfino again <3
You must be apocalyptic then that Sony and Microsoft are releasing new machines "during a pandemic when most people can't even manage to buy a switch".
Such a strange argument.
The day you find out 2 companies are about to release 2 new consoles in the middle of a pandemic, while many are not having enough money to buy the current ones...
Nintendo could have included Galaxy 2 if they wanted to, motion controls and all. They chose not to, likely because of a combination of effort and projected sales.
Put differently, they are not shooting themselves in the foot by not including SMG2. They see 64,SMS and SMG as good value for $60 and think enough people will agree and buy it. Meanwhile they keep SMG2 in their back pocket for a separate release.
It's a bit analogous to how they handled VC library and how they're handling NSO. They always want to hold something back, which gives their software more value and gives themselves more opportunities to slow roll re-releases in the future. Much as it frustrates people, it's a model that has worked for them.

Pre-ordered. I don't care about it being "overpriced" not everyone wants to play the better looking versions on their PC
This game has just completely destroyed ShopTo lol
People thirsty for that £7 saving...
The difference is that the PS5 and Xbox Series X aren't going away in March, and neither are their games. This is, so by preying on nostalgia and FOMO Nintendo is going to get a lot more people spending $60 during a time of economic stress. It's not exactly the end of the world, and not enough to deem Nintendo "the worst gaming company," but it's definitely a scummy practice considering what's going on.
