We’ve now had reports that a 3D mario all star collection featuring all of the pre switch 3D Mario’s, 3D World Deluxe, and a new Paper Mario are all coming this year. I say absolutely no way that’s all happening. Like I’d give MP4 a bigger chance of releasing this year than all of that Mario hitting in Q3/Q4. First of all, it wouldn’t even make good business sense to do that, they would all cannibalize each other. And second of all, no way is Nintendo going to be that generous to give us all of the 3D Mario’s remastered in one $60 game when the reality of the situation is they could get away with charging that much for one. I think a much more realistic scenario is either a Galaxy 1 and 2 remaster (since those games already look pretty gorgeous as far as non HD games go) OR 3D World Deluxe OR a 3D World sequel + a new Paper Mario game. |
It's not very unrealistic to expect a 3D Mario Remaster Collection all in one game for 60$. We've seen Nintendo do it back on the Wii with the Metroid Prime Trilogy, where Nintendo/Retro Studios remastered 3 Masterpiece and High-Budget Metroid Prime games in one package, in fact on the Wii U Virtual Console they didn't even price the trilogy at 60$ as it was only 20$. Nintendo also did a huge remaster collection like this back on the SNES where they remastered every major 2D Mario in Super Mario All Stars in one package. The 3D Mario Remaster collection would essentially be a Super Mario All Stars but instead of every 2D Mario Game we're getting every 3D Mario game in one package. Plus as for pricing, Super Mario Galaxy on the Wii U VC was only 20$ and I'm sure Sunshine and Mario 64(Which was 10$ on VC) would be worth even less since they are old games. Plus these are remasters, not remakes, which means that it won't take a ton of development time or money just to remaster these games in a fresh coat of paint, so they won't be THAT much more valuable to warrant a separate release at a higher price point since they're just remasters.
