Topic: Super Mario 3D All-Stars

@Snatcher My goodness, I just checked and my copy finally shipped. Hopefully tonight your copy will ship too. Fingers crossed!

@MarioLover92 I hope so I looked into it and amazon does this sometimes when they wont ship it till waay later and still get it to me on time I got first day shipping so they may ship it tomorrow or later today.

@BruceCM It's a 1st party release so it'll be playable at midnight. It's the 3rd party stuff that releases at various times.

(removes Karen wig)
ok I contacted Amazon and basically they said "It'll probably be there tomorrow. Need anything else?".

I think its going to come tomorrow I really hop so, and concrats to you @Eel.

@Snatcher Yeah, I've had that kind of experience before. So you're not the only one. I don't see why they wouldn't ship it tomorrow at the very latest. Best of luck!

@BlueOcean Have fun. My poor, poor indigo GameCube broke down early on The platinum one that I have is showing its time these days, as well.

@MarioLover92 Thanks for the support man have fun tomorrow hopefully I can say the same to myself.

@Snatcher Yeah no problem!

Wah Hoo! Just got the shipping confirmation from Amazon, which says it should be here tomorrow.

Just brought the game home. HOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOO

I been playing Sunshine and Urgh, they messed up the controls really. Switching the Fludd mode is now on X, which means it takes more time to get to the button. But the worst is they removed the over the shoulder mode for spraying water... You now only can fixate spraying without the camera coming close to Mario. Super unintuitive and worse than before. I don’t understand this. Plus the 30fps really shows. It looks much better in 60FPS emulated on my PC

My GameCube is black, I mean the game box 😂.

@andisart that's terrible to hear. it looked crisp in the trailer but I wondered how it was going to turn out. They removed the over the shoulder too? I was sure they were going to find a way around it. How are the other games at least?

@Tendo64 What game are you playing first? How's it play?

@andisart The over-the-shoulder camera is super helpful for aiming, isn't there any other way to trigger it?

64 looks ok, but for some reason there isn’t just the black bars on the sides due to no 16:9 but there are also some black bars on top and bottom of the image for some weird reason.. Also the game has some noticeable slight slow downs here and there. It’s definitely not on par with a modern fluid graphic experience, which is a shame.

Galaxy is probably the best out of the 3. Looks and feels great. Controls with the joy cons are good, Wiimote was better though. With Pro Controller aiming the pointer is not that accurate and feels a bit unintuitive. On handheld you need to use your finger on the touchscreen for the pointer, no other option.

I could not find any. They added a new mode where Mario is locked in a left-right moving position for spraying, triggered with ZL, but so far I don’t find it useful for anything.

Btw if you want to unlock the game before midnight use a VPN On your phone from a location where it’s already the 18th and connect your Switch to it for the online check. I unlocked the game at 5pm this way

@andisart Galaxy's my favorite of the bunch so I'm glad that's good. Definitely the one I'm heading to first. Besides the black bars in 64 is everything else good? Control-wise?

Yeah that’s how I’m justifying it to myself to have spent the money now, it’s Galaxy on the go with bonus subpar Sunshine and 64.

Controls in 64 seem fine, the thing is I haven’t played that game in decades so I don’t remember properly how they were originally.

@andisart Thanks. I will be disappointed if there's no over-the-shoulder camera for aiming. I used that a lot for cleaning and for battles. The game should support the Nintendo GameCube controller Adapter for Wii U/Switch.
