With all the news about next-gen consoles, hardly anyone could have guessed what Nintendo was doing. It turns out that one of the company's biggest threats to the consoles coming this fall will come in the form of a 3D Mario collection on Switch, aptly named Super Mario 3D All-Stars. The bundle will include HD remasters of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy. Unlike most versions of Switch, pre-ordering this title is unlike any other, and we recommend that you do so as soon as possible.
Release date and end date
The newly announced game will land on the eShop and physical tablets on September 18, 2020. However, Nintendo has said it will be in “limited production” and will only be available until the end of March 2021. It appears that the Le gaming giant wants Super Mario 3D All-Stars to be a rarity, so this end date applies to both physical and digital copies. So far, it's unclear if Nintendo plans to bring the collection back to the market afterwards.
Versions and bonuses
Pre-orders are slowly starting to be taken for the game, but one can imagine that its supply won't last long for the physical edition with the supposed end date implemented. The games can't be purchased separately, but snatching three remastered classics for the low cost of the collection is a major theft.
According to the Super Mario 3D All-Stars retailer pages, there won't be any special editions or bonuses, at least for now. Either way, those who want to reserve their physical copy can be done at stores such as Best Buy and Amazon.
While there aren't any additional bonuses for pre-ordering, the latest features in the games may be enough to get you out of the way. Each game will be optimized for the Nintendo Switch, with Super Mario Sunshine also offering a 16: 9 screen ratio. There will also be a music player mode, where players can access all the music from the games at any point in their adventures. .
