Review on Unleash Nostalgia with Super Mario 3D All-Stars on Nintendo Switch! by Josh Schaefer

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A worthy celebration of the anniversary with a few changes.

If you don't have them on any other platform, this is a great way to revisit this popular classic. Mario 64 has almost tripled the original resolution while still maintaining a stable 30 fps, since it's a port of the 1997 remastered edition of Shindou pak taiou, the backslide glitch was removed along with the "So long gay bowser ' fixed, but most of the texture hasn't changed. Super Mario Sunshine seems to have garnered the most attention thanks to its brighter colors all around, as well as its higher resolution, resulting in a much less blurry image. However, this game also runs at 30fps, and the classic GameCube controls have been slightly adjusted due to differences compared to the Switch joysticks, even when using an adapter (so that you can no longer change the water pressure). Last but not least. Mario Galaxy looks sharper than ever, the resolution upscaling and transition to modern displays is pretty smooth, the motion controls are really well integrated, and it's a smooth 60fps experience. Also included are soundtracks from all 3 games.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
