Topic: Super Mario 3D All-Stars

@EndlessFloydian Yeah, the original said “most of his 35-year catalogue”, then the same people listed only four games like one week later.

@BabyYoshi12 Well, the "aaaaaaaaa" sounded suspicious, I didn't say it but I agreed with you about that 😅.

@EndlessFloydian The reports talk about Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario 3D World. They also mention most of the Mario back catalogue meaning older games on Nintendo Switch Online (Super Mario All-Stars?). They also revealed a new Paper Mario in 2020 before it was announced. The sources sound confident and are respectable so that's why most people believes this.

@BabyYoshi12 It's supposedly linked to an official Nintendo email address. Could be faked though I suppose, but it would pretty elaborate to spoof the format of an official Nintendo email address for a Twitter account in the hope fans would find it...

@Reprise @BabyYoshi12 Yes I just read Nintendo Life's article and the F-Zero account is apparently linked to a Nintendo account too (or made so it would look like it) and it's from March so it could be real. The "aaaaaaaa" name could be just discretion.

@Slowdive Do you think there is any truth to these bonus game/unlockable game rumours? The ideal scenario would be that they are:
Super Mario Land
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
New Super Mario Bros
New Super Mario Bros Wii
New Super Mario Bros 2

If Galaxy 2 is included, you would then be able to play every Mario game ever released on the Switch!

@Slowdive That Resetera user is referring to Zippo's tweet. The original sources say that it could be a collection or separate releases like The Legend of Zelda remasters.

@BlueOcean @Reprise The thing is, all you can see is a few letters, so when you see:

You assume it to be the official Nintendo email, but it could just be:

So it’s impossible to tell at this point, but I don’t have high hopes for the time being.

I’m still confused. They said ‘most of his 35-year catalogue’, the the same sources listed only 4 specific titles saying those would be the ones. Now they’re saying only 3? (I feel bad for Switch Stop)

@BabyYoshi12 This whole anniversary thing surrounding Mario seems way too big for Nintendo. They barely did anything for the 30th anniversary which I would argue is the bigger milestone than 35 years. Dunno, maybe it's just me but this whole thing never made sense to me from the very beginning.

Uh... I think you already can play every Mario game on the Switch... on the Switch. Do you mean Wii?

It was odd that Luigi got an entire year for his anniversary compared to Mario also.

@FragRed If someone told me this rumour in January, I’d think they’re crazy. But then the original source successfully predicted a Direct and The Oragami King, so... I think I have to.

@jump Right that happened. I feel like Mario Maker was a pretty big thing, as it wasn’t just a game but the beginning of a franchise- but then Mario All-Stars was his 25th anniversary- which is basically the same thing as this.

@BabyYoshi12 There has been a few Mario related merchandise popping up recently from various toy manufacturers and none of them seem to be stamping 35th anniversary on them which would certainly have made sense for the Lego NES kit. I just can't put much faith into any of this. Seems too obvious and big a deal for Nintendo. They are more likely to try selling you these things at full price or just stick Mario 64 on the subscription service instead.

@FragRed Only time will tell.

I added a comma with what they probably meant. Which is untrue of course, the NSMB subseries, 3D Land, and Super Mario Land 1&2 would still be among the missing.

@link3710 I think he meant on the Wii- Galaxy, Galaxy 2, 3D World, New Super Mario Bros. Wii

They didn't say only four games:

As part of its anniversary celebrations, Nintendo will reveal plans to re-release most of Super Mario’s 35-year back catalogue this year, remastered for Nintendo Switch, VGC was told. These remasters will include 1996’s Super Mario 64, 2002’s Super Mario Sunshine and 2007’s Super Mario Galaxy. Nintendo will also release several other Mario titles in 2020, including a new instalment in the Paper Mario series and a Deluxe version of 2013’s Super Mario 3D World.

@BabyYoshi12 That would be untrue too then, since NSMB Wii coming to Switch hasn't had so much as a poorly written 4chan rumor that I've heard of.
