Nintendo celebrates the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. with remastered editions of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 for Switch. The company offers both games as a bundle for $70 or separately for $40 each starting on Oct. 2. Switch 2 owners can access free upgrades that enable 4K resolution gameplay.
Super Mario Galaxy 2 returns to retail shelves for the first time since its 2010 Wii debut. The games feature spherical planetoids with unique gravity mechanics that create distinctive 3D platforming experiences. Nintendo added an Assist Mode, but the visual improvements remain modest compared to the 3D All-Stars collection.
The remastered versions deliver 30 to 60 hours of content with updated textures and interface elements. Joy-Con gyro controls replace the original Wiimote pointer system with mixed results. The Galaxy titles maintain their appeal despite feeling somewhat restrained next to recent Mario releases.
