I think the value is great. I am a business owner and understand and appreciate the maintaining of value both ways. If you play all 3 games enough, you easily get 60 hours of entertainment which equates to $1 an hour. Whether you are replaying them or not. It's up to the individual to determine if it is of value to them. People pay $10 or more an hour for all sorts of other entertainment. We have gotten used to a highly competitive videogame market in which software prices drop dramatically very fast. This actually isn't good for the industry IMO. Thus DLC, microtransactions, season passes, and the like. And if the sales of one game don't do well, a company can crumble. The nice thing about how Nintendo has approached the issue, is by balancing value, quality, and scarcity. They know how to maintain the value of their products. That extends to the value of their resale and trade in. Regardless, to each their own, but to me i love these games and will definitely purchase this. The omission of Super Mario Galaxy 2 does sting a bit and I feel as thought that is a mistake. Maybe it will be free DLC? Or paid? I have a version of Bayonetta 2 which included a free download of part 1. You must remember, the carts that the Switch uses are limited in storage and maybe it was a cost decision based on that.

I'm on the fence about it. I love 3D Mario games, but $60 for ports of Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy, seems overpriced to me. It should have included Galaxy 2 to make it more worth it.

The only logic about the pricing seems to be this...

$10 for Super Mario 64 

$20 for Super Mario Sunshine

$20 for Super Mario Galaxy

$10 for the soundtrack selection and being on Switch.

But that's all really steep. In a more ideal world, we would've gotten Super Mario Galaxy 2 included as well. Or Nintendo would've remade the 4 games. Charge $60 for 64 and Sunshine as a duology, and $60 for a 2 pack of Galaxy remakes. But with the pricing they picked, I would not put it past Nintendo to release all 4 games separately as remakes for $40-$60 a piece.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 122 million (was 105 million, then 115 million) Xbox Series X/S: 38 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million. then 48 million. then 40 million)

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

They'll probably add Galaxy 2 later as $30 DLC

I'm never buying any of Ninty's no-effort releases. They do so much of that garbage, and I'm just not going to feed into it. I'll buy every new Mario platformer, and I'd probably buy this collection if they made some real improvements. But, I'm not paying $60 for old games.

Yes, but under protest.

I wonder how Nintendo will react to reading this comment after receiving your $60.

Fair point. But I would've bought several Wii U ports by now (even some that I already owned on Wii U) if they were $30-$40 instead of $60. The only Wii U port I ever got on Switch was Mario Kart so that I could play it with family and because I got it at a discount. 

Me paying $60 for this 3D Mario package is an exception, not the rule. But yes, Nintendo cares at the end of the day that they will get my $60. 

I really wish if enough people called Nintendo out on social media about Super Mario Galaxy 2 that they would add it to this compilation for free.

No. No Galaxy 2 no buy.



For sure, 3D Mario is my favorite franchise of all time. I'm hyped to play 3 of my favorite games in a crisp HD resolution on the go and widescreen for Sunshine now. This is the first time Sunshine has been ported outside the Gamecube and I feel like it definitely deserves more attention than it got on the GC.

I know some people are disappointed that these were very low effort remasters that are priced at 60$ with no Galaxy 2 when the Crash Trilogy recieved full remakes for 3 games. However, IDGAF I love 3D Mario too much and I believe 3D Mario games good enough alone for me to pay 60$.



Yea it wouldn't surprise me if they released Galaxy 2 as DLC for like $30. Which would be annoying as hell. I'd still get it because thats the one I want to play through the most and its the best of the bunch, but I'd not be happy with Nintendo. Then again I dunno if they would later on announce DLC for a game that only had a limited run so a lot of eventual Switch owners never even had a chance to get. Unless they're just gonna release it separately as a stand alone at some point. No matter what happens, it's clear Nintendo just refused to do the obvious thing and include both Galaxy games together and make all their fans happy and they intentionally were like hey let's leave something out and not give our customers what they want.

If they really wanted to blow people away and get everyone pumped they should have remade M64 with Odyssey level graphics and sold it separately full price, and then put Galaxy 2 in this collection to replace 64. That way the people who wanted remakes get a remake and its the game that is by far the most dated and therefore most could use a remake, and we still get all the games, and then Nintendo gets to sell two $60 packages that are both guaranteed to sell many millions.
