A celebration of three excellent Mario games, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy have all arrived for Nintendo Switch in a single time-limited release package. But just how good are the remasters - and are they actually emulated?

Surprised DF didn’t notice this, but they’ve “de-inverted” the y-axis in Mario 64 and Sunshine, which will come as a shock to those whose muscle memory is expecting the original controls. Also not mentioned: in Sunshine, they’ve edited Fludd’s voice over to just say “the button” for any new Switch button names.

Okay, I just got my copy today, and I kept spraying the water wrong and I was like... why is it reversed? Was it always this way? Also the voice editing in the cutscenes pulled my ear too. I played so much Sunshine I immediately noticed stuff had been monkeyed with. I'm glad you mentioned it too. That being said, I'm pretty sure it's not a big deal. And despite what DF has to say, I just beat Mario 64 on the WiiU and it was fine. I noticed no severe input lag or color issues. I know that these guys are professional nitpickers, but sometimes I wonder if they're being critical for the sake of having something to say.

In my opinion, the Christian Whitehead's sonic 1 is way better because of widescreen and 60fps.

Mario 64 is the most disappointing one. Nintendo did "remake" it in 2004 for the DS, so one assumes the source code is kicking around some where. N64 games do not age well, and it could have used some TLC. We've been able to download the virtual console version for almost 15 years now, I was hoping for something a little more fleshed out.

No company does that anymore besides Nintendo (or rather Game Freak which is also owned by Nintendo partly).

this is nintendo they have 2 top tier games one with massive technical issues the other with cleverly masked ones. they rely in the dum fuq nintendo is my childhood friend ndf crowd and the money from parents who cannot stand their business practices but respect their best games and many if the games in the middle which are lazy as fuck but still the best option for kids. i mean really what is the alternative here for ages 6-12? mediocre lego games? crash team racing? shite yooka laylee rip offs? they do it because they can top to bottom and prey upon nostalgia and brand awareness. i accept that im getting ripped off if the game suits my 7 and a half year old we get value out couch coop which other companies have abandoned. is this bundle a fair price is it lazy as shit and could they have done more the answers are obvious however the nintendo ransom holds true, i had all these launch, my son loves and has finished odyssey, he has not played these, these are the best versions and are on his switch. its the same deal with 3d world in feb. proper coop we have not played like dk tf, scam pricing but it is that. and the mario pins cool to have for him but also bullshit which is classic nintendo. will i get both and the pins yes, christmas and his birthday in march, this is nintendo how they operate. i would only have bought 2 games if it was not for my son, and likely sold it all on. but we enjoy having both and he is proud to have his switch and just loves good games. at the end of the day if you want these this is the deal and the games are great. df as always giving us the technical view of what is on offer. i won’t hold my breath for 60fps patches but honestly im not buying these to okay again i’m buying them for my son for christmas. theres not much else on switch for him. considering this will be game #13 11 of which first party.

Thank you for the deep dive @Digital Foundry. As others mentioned, I feel conflicted. It's an excellent compilation of games however you can't help but feel disappointed. It feels this game requires a final sprint of polish. According to the internet, there is already a patch planned for launch (tomorrow). I'll see if I keep my pre-order. Unsure right now... I still hope they can improve some of these issues with subsequent patches but it doesn't sound like Super Mario 64 will ever get to 60fps (given it's being emulated)...

@@retrodad418 I doubt it was made in 6 months since rumors have been around since the begining of the year. That also isn't really Nintendo's style to do these things quickly like that. I also get the feeling they reused code from their Gamecube/Wii emulator on the Chinese Nvidia Shield since the one in all stars uses Vulkan (just like other shield games) instead of the proprietary API Nvidia made for the Switch. There's nothing wrong with reusing code though. Also, while it did take years for the rom of Mario 64 to be reverse engineered and documented into a byte for byte copy, the actual porting process only took a few months. The source code of the copy got uploaded to Github at the end last year. The DirectX12 and OpenGL ports happened in May and the Switch port, which was based off of the OpenGL port happened about a week later. I guess my real gripe is that if they're going to bother emulating the games why not give us the goodies that come with emulation like savestates and *remapping your controls*. If they're not going to do that why not port them for the better performance?

As someone that owns a gaming rig, the only game in this collection to me that is an improvement (but this is arguable) over playing in unofficial ways (Dolphin emulator with an HD pack, or unofficial native ports) is Galaxy. 64 has an unofficial port for both PC and Switch that runs in 16:9 (and scales to other aspect ratios), optional improved models, optional improved textures, optional 60 FPS, and of course analog camera control with X and Y inversion options. Sunshine has the Sunburn mod which removes the save nag screen when you collect blue coins and other QoL improvements, along with 60 FPS patch, widescreen patch, and removing heatwave patch. Playing Galaxy in Dolphin, however, without using a real Wiimote and a Dolphinbar is a bit of work to get going properly. Some may prefer it over playing it with a Pro controller on the Switch though.

@Digital Foundry did patch 1.0.1 fix the color banding issues that you mentioned with Super Mario Galaxy?

I have never played Mario 64, sunshine and galaxy, so it will be worth to me. But i agree that Nintendo was lazy

@3:20 the video states Nintendo bumped up the resolution for Super Mario 64 from 320x240 to 1280x720 then states that it kept the 4:3 aspect ratio. Do I need to point out that 1280x720 is a 16:9 aspect ratio resolution?

Such a nice episode. I personally never played any Mario 3d world titles or owned any Nintendo consoles, but this was fun to watch.

@@megazenn22 Hey it's you! I use Dolphin to play games like Wind Waker since my PC can run them, but the main reason why you buy this collection is to get the physical copy and to play it portably. I just like playing on the Switch on the road, or going to see my family overseas.

Does the day 1 patch correct some of these issues? Did you play with that, or is that not possible since it comes out tomorrow?

Pulling the octpousses legs off in Mario Sunshine is one of my all time favourite gaming experiences.
