Super Mario 3D All-Stars brings three high-res ports to Switch
Super Mario 64 is looking sharper than ever (fan recreations excepted).
Thursday morning, Nintendo confirmed longstanding rumors that a set of classic 3D Mario games will be ported to the Switch. As part of a video presentation celebrating Mario's 35th anniversary, the company announced Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a package including "higher resolution" ports of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy with controls designed specifically for Switch controllers.
While Super Mario 64 was previously emulated on the Wii and Wii U virtual consoles (and heavily modified for a Nintendo DS re-release when that system launched), this is the first time any 3D Mario games have been specifically ported to HD-capable hardware. While Nintendo hasn't specifically confirmed what "higher resolution" will be supported, Super Mario 64 in particular looks much sharper in provided footage.
Super Mario Sunshine will also be playable in a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio for the first time, and all three games will include a soundtrack that can be played independently of the games running or the Switch screen even being active, Nintendo says.
