Was planning to play Sunshine as I've waited so long but had a change of heart and decided to play the games on chronological order. Currently about 66 stars deep into Mario 64

Glad I cancelled my order with them now and got it from Smyths

@YonVonBlett

Pretty much came here to say the same thing. The first game is absolutely fine. Just needs additional music tracks to make it more interesting

DLC could have covered this rather than a whole new game

I'll be picking up the ps5 version

I'll probably ruffle a few feathers with this comment but 3D land and world don't deserve to be on the list.

They should be in a category of their own as they're neither a 2D game or 3D

I originally pre ordered with Amazon but later cancelled it and pre ordered with Smyths instead.

With smyths I can pick it up when the shop opens rather than curtain twitching all day waiting for Mr Post man (assuming amazon deliver on the day or release)

Just hope Smyths don't cancel and I end up regretting canceling my first order

Probably Sunshine because it's the only one that wasn't previously accessible to me

I did recently play through Galaxy at the start of lockdown (thoroughly enjoyed it). Obviously had I know at the time this was getting released I'd have probably held off, I'm not in such a hurry to play it again so soon.

No doubt I'll get to it once I've finished with Sunshine & 64

As someone who's been a massive mario kart fan since the very beginning... I have to be honest I'm struggling to get excited for this one.

Looks cool at first glance but then in reality how many different tracks can you make in your own living room (unless you live in a mansion)

Why bother when you can still easily pre order your own copy pretty much anywhere

@bluesun

That's what I thought, in which case probably not enough of an incentive for me to double dip this time

@Anti-Matter

I think we were probably spoilt with the effectively endless lives system on Oddesy.

I suppose the advantage with the Switch version is that we'll be able to put the console to sleep and pick up exactly where you left off providing you don't play something else in between.

@Anti-Matter

I played through it again at the start of lock down to keep myself occupied. Every time I switched it back on Peach had sent me a letter offering me an extra 5 1ups.

I guess she must love me more that you

On a serious note though, as great as Mario Galaxy is in hindsight I wish I hadn't played it now as I feel its spoilt my appetite a little for 3D allstars.

I'll still be smashing my way through 64 & Sunshine but I don't feel in such a hurry to play Galaxy again so soon

I've preordered this and to put it bluntly I can't wait to play it.

That said I am slightly disappointed they haven't given it the full remaster / remake treatment, particularly with Mario 64.

I was hoping for something similar to what Activision did with Crash and Spyro where all 3 games were given a fresh modern lick of paint and looked absolutely stunning.

It will print money either way no doubt but does seem like a missed opportunity

Whilst I did enjoy this the first time around on Wii U I have to be honest its probably my least favourite of the so called 3D Mario games.

Having to hold the run button all the time never felt quite right for a 3D game and even then it did feel particularly slow making it rather infuriating to play.

Hopefully this will make a big improvement.

Depending on what Bowsers Fury turns out to be I may well give it another chance. Is it a full on separate game that's included or just a level expansion? Time will tell I guess

Pre ordered with Amazon UK

It's not there on mine just yet

I just had a tiny orgasm

God I hope so, its been far too long since we had a real one.

2 things in the world I'm desperate to know about

1. Is the 35th anniversary mario 3d remaster a real thing
2. A price and release date for the ps5

8/15 better than I expected, a few tricky ones in there

I remember having it and didn't like it as much as Mario 64. I remember certain levels felt more frustrating than fun

I foolishly sold it along with my game cube a long long time ago. Its only now looking back that I regret selling it.

Probably due to the fact that it's just about the only Mario game you can't play unless you happen to have an old game cube knocking around (or a mk1 Wii of course but you'd still need a gamecube controller)

I really hope that I'd does get a remake as I'd definitely love to try it again

This guys effort deserves more than 15 comments

As good as burnout paradise is is refuse to pay full price for something I can get for half the price (or probably less if I take the time to look) on other consoles.

I hope it sells well and will be happy to be proved wrong but I think they've left it too late. It should have launched at the same time as it did on ps and xbox

Supply and demand.

At the end of the day its only worth what someone is willing to pay

64, Sunshine and Galaxy for me.

Sunshine is a must because its the only game that's impossible to play without an actual game cube (or an original Wii)

Super Mario 3D world is probably too new to qualify and would probably get a stand alone deluxe release as the article suggests

I'm all about Tony Hawks 1&2 later this year so I won't personally lose any sleep over this

I didn't realise there was quite so many already

Looking forward to pga tour. I'm hoping it has decent and optional motion control

Can this play Wii games does anyone know?

Seems like it's looking to solve a problem that doesn't even exist

Disappointed to see its Mario Kart Tour. I very briefly got excited to think it could be a new Diddy Kong Racing or possibly even Mario Kart 9 😔

@BlubberWhale

Either way you won't be disappointed. It's arguably one of the finest games ever made.

I remember when it first released I was away on holiday in Spain so I had to wait till I got home to play it.

Probably the first and only time I've ever wanted to get home from a holiday in the sun haha

I decided to play through galaxy 1 & 2 again earlier this year before the remaster rumours. Hadn't played them for over 5 years and I'd forgotten just how good they were.

If the rumours do turn out to be true part of me wishes I'd held off playing them again as I would have waited for the new shinier version

@Dirty0814

I think you're being very generous with use of the word "all"

Granted some of them are fine and still very enjoyable to play but some of them are simply terrible. Not even worth a remaster.

I used to pay monthly and got a year's free subscription with Super Mario Maker 2.

I believe it expires in September.

As it stands I've turned the auto renewal off.

The nes and snes games were a nice little bonus at first but an awful lot of the games haven't aged very well so Nintendo definitely need to up their game a bit if they want my money again for next year

@sixrings

Not suggesting it isn't. As a Ps4 Pro owner I'm all for a bit of extra power.

Power aside though, the whole Switch concept is simply perfect in my opinion

Other than making a new console more powerful, I don't really see where nintendo go from here.

They've absolutely nailed it with the Switch

Almost ashamed to say I only got 3 correct.

Disappointed with myself as I pride myself on being a mario fan since the late 80's

I am rather hung over from celebrating ve day yesterday with the neighbours (socially distant of course) so I'm using that as my excuse

Agh the 27th October 2017. The day this game released

I remember secretly booking the day off work simply so I could spend the whole day playing it.

My Daughter hadn't started school back then so I took her round to my mums for the day and pretended to go off to work.

I still don't feel guilty about doing that to this day.

A new main series Mario game doesn't come along that often and boy was this one worth the wait

I'm guessing this is down to the vast majority of stores being closed and people being stuck at home.

Very impressive numbers whatever the reason.

Despite that I'm proud to say I still went down the physical route. (managed to order a copy online and it arrived just before Easter)

I heard from my dad's boss who's aunties stepsister works for Nintendo that it's an update to install Playstation Now

Obviously this is quite likely an April Fools wind up but for the record in no way would the SNES version of Mario is missing be classed as a hidden gem haha

Great game but I worry they may have left it too late.

If you only own a Switch then fair enough but the vast majority of people nowadays own one at least 2 consoles and when you can pick it up on others for next to nothing will people be willing to pay top wack for portability

@mariomaster96

We need people to stop buying MK8 😂

@mariomaster96

I'm hoping they saving it for MK9

As much as I love Mario Kart 8 Deluxe I'm ready for an all new game (I had the original on Wii U)

@Jedi_jem

I think I did when I first bought it when I was trying to figure out where best to put it.

I just didn't feel very secure and I didn't want to cause it damage to it. Baring in mind this was when the Switch first launched

My 6 year old daughter loves Mario and she also loves Lego

Sounds like the perfect excuse to secretly buy it for myself

I always look forward to Nintendo's e3 Direct stream, as for the tree house thing, I wont miss that it the slightest.

Even if they we're playing a game that I was interested in I still found it rather boring

@ancientlii

Very true.

That's my one small criticism of the Switch in that I don't really have anywhere suitable to stand it. (probably more down to my own set up in fairness)

I can't stand it in front of the TV because it's too big and obscures my view of the TV.

It wont fit on the shelf underneath along side my PS4 and Wii U because it's too tall. I've ended up having to stand it out of view just slightly behind the TV.

Having ports on the back of the dock only really adds to my problems haha

@sikthvash

To be fair I can't really argue against that haha

Great idea but those ports couldn't have been placed in a more awkward place.

Brings a whole new meaning to Cat suit Mario from 3D World
