Super Mario Galaxy Switch bundle to cost £70

While we aren't getting a new 3D Mario game for the series' 40th Anniversary, we are getting re-releases for two of the best 3D Mario games of all time – Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2. Like most new games nowadays, the price is raising eyebrows, with the package costing more than Nintendo's previous 3D All Stars collection. 

As reported by VGC, the Super Mario Galaxy collection for Switch and Switch 2 will retail for £70, costing a hair under £35 for each game. This is more expensive than the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection, which included Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario 64, and sold for £60 at launch.

While not billed as a remaster, the Super Mario Galaxy collection for Nintendo Switch will include a number of improvements. The game should run at a higher resolution compared to the original Nintendo Wii version. The game has also been expanded with some additional story content, all contained in Rosalina's Book, a mechanic that was originally introduced in Super Mario Galaxy 2 but will now be present in both games on Switch.

Nintendo has confirmed that it plans to release both games as separate purchases digitally on the Switch eShop.

KitGuru Says: Super Mario Galaxy ranks highly amongst the best games in the franchise. Still, a £70 asking price is a tough pill to swallow for games well over a decade old.
