WTMG's Leo Faria: "Don’t get me wrong, I love the fact this collection exists. I love that I can play these classic Mario games on-the-go. They are still ridiculously fun. But I can’t help but feel annoyed with the lack of effort put into this collection. It just feels lazy. We are paying sixty dollars for emulated ROMs, available for a limited time only, with little to no quality of life improvements. This sets a very bad precedent for the future. If this was being sold for maybe thirty or forty bucks, without the stupid limited availability, this would have been a complete must-have, a stroke of genius. As it stands, however, Super Mario 3D All-Stars just feels like an act of greed and hubris from a company that once knew better."
Mario, TMNT, Sonic, some of the best retro games live on the Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo has just provided some updated information on several of their Switch million seller titles via CESA 2022. As such, we’ve got some new sales figures for a few of these titles.
Awesome to see Bayonetta 2 get over a million and the Xenoblade games to do so well! Good numbers all around. Nice to see Nintendo recover after the Wii U.
With the release of the White Book, Super Mario 3D All-Stars lifetime sales hit a new total of 9.07 million.
I still have a sealed copy of this game. I heard it was going to be a limited release so I never opened it. I wouldn’t exactly call 9mil limited however.
Nintendo played us yet again. Fattened up their pockets by using the coveted limited release tactic to gain profits by secretly releasing more than they said was available.
I feel this as bad as insider trading. There's a law broken somewhere here. It doesn't feel right. Bastards never again will I listen to their bs.
It was stupid to make it a limited release to begin with. No matter, it is pretty easy to find used copies for people who missed it and want the collection. It is a fine collection, especially having Mario Galaxy which is a pain to emulate because of the controls.
Can they just do the Zelda collection already?! Yes we know Mario is popular. But damnit I want a Zelda collection of all the handheld games, including the 3ds remakes of Ocarina and Majora along with the great and underappreciated Link Between Worlds.
I get it but at the end of the day Nintendo put years of effort into these games first time round sure they could get a bluepoint style team to do all the remasters or do it themselves but then they not spending all or most of their time and effort pushing things forward. I’ll take it not played mario 64 in years and really enjoying it. Looking forward to galaxy most but will smash through sunshine again first as well these are great games and to get all 3 for one even at full price for a current game is brilliant value it’s no rare replay but 3 of the best mario games ever made for less than £15 each. I got my physical copy for £43 (shopto.net) and a digital copy for less than £40 (2 Game vouchers for £84 paid £79 for the eshop credit so kerching) it’s a bargain even at full price. They could have not bothered at all or they could have split them all up. Galaxy 1/2 for £50 mario 64 remake £50 sunshine port £50 someone would have had a field day either way it’s the cool thing to do. Edgy 😑🥴😂
Playing Mario Galaxy at the mo, it looks and plays fantastic.a total masterpiece.
