Apparently there's a Super Mario Bros 40th anniversary logo that someone saw

Take it with a grain of salt but still

Anyways, if they do a Mario collection - would be great to do a 3D All stars 2.0 which includes Galaxy 2.

They could also do a remake of Super Mario All Stars (1, 2, 3, World + Mario Bros) kinda like what they did for the SNES where they fully remade the games - wouldnt make sense to re-release the collection like they did with Wii since the games are on NSO (unless if you could say its finally purchasable as the main reason).

I would be super annoyed, unless they also offered Galaxy 2 as dlc for people who already have 3D All Stars.

A remake of the NES/SNES games in a style similar to wonder would be cool. 

That would be amazing and a day 1 purchase for me.

I don't think Nintendo's generous enough to do 3D All Stars 2.0. They barely did 3D All Stars 1.0. -_-

Dk hasn't been fully clicking with me and I think I finally figured out why. I don't care about Bananas.

In the 3D Mario series (setting aside 3D Land/World) collecting stars or moons has been central to progression. Same with BK and DK 64.

Here... I'm pretty sure you don't need Bananas for anything except leveling up your abilities, and so far (I'd estimate I'm about halfway through the main campaign) I've found enough Bananas without looking too hard for them to get all of the key upgrades, and the other ones don't feel super necessary. Nothing has ever threatened me to the point where I feel I need extra health and I basically always have enough bananergy to transform when needed. And I don't really feel like the costumes are worth the effort either.

So, after a couple of hours of "break everything in sight" I've kind of just been going straight for the objective. If I stumble across a banana I'll grab it, but usually the challenges haven't been rewarding enough in and of themselves to make me feel like they're worth seeking out. In Mario Galaxy 1/2, and to a somewhat lesser extent in Odyssey, there are some challenges and sequences where I felt, "man that was really cool", and they were worth doing just for the fun of it. So far in DK there have been a few clever puzzles, but mostly they've been a little basic. There are a lot of Bananas so maybe I just haven't come to the good ones yet.

Don't get me wrong, I'm having fun, but so far this feels like a good game and not a great one.

Yeah I kind of feel the same way, I started by 100% clearing every level and did that for maybe the first 3-4 layers. I just can’t do collectibles into the thousands anymore. I find just collecting what I find along the way (and making the exception if there’s outfits I want) and just going through the story to be much more engaging. No shade at those who like collecting the obscene amount of collectibles Nintendo like putting into their games but personally I’m over trying to 100% video games.

A little while back I said I was kinda sad Donkey Kong Bananza didn't have any underwater sections, but because of the game's emphasis on smashing terrain, I don't know how well that could work underwater. Unless, of course, one of the Bananza transformations was an aquatic animal, like a shark or swordfish, which could give DK more maneuverability underwater.

Tbh although I feel SMO is overall the better game I very much prefer DKB's system with the banana's than 3D Mario's star/moon as the is more incentive for me to go looking for the former than the latter and it doesn't tether the game's design to mandatory collection of them instead progression in the game can remain largely independent of them allowing a more open design for concepts to be explored.

There's practically no difference graphically between the Switch 2 and PS5 versions. ^^
