Super Mario 3D All-Stars - Nintendo Switch

If you're a fan of Mario's older 3D platforming titles, then you simply MUST do yourself a favor and pick a copy of this game. And if you're younger, I'd still recommend to seriously consider picking up a copy - to better appreciate how far Mario has come in his epic 3D adventures, and simply because some of his older stuff remains a blast to play to this day.Three classic games in one is tough to beat. And even years later, I think all three titles are a blast to play.Nintendo enhanced the look of all three titles, so the graphics look a little nicer. And I find that gameplay for all three games transitions pretty well on the Switch console.Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Sunshine play pretty well for me on the Switch Pro Controller. And for the most part, I find Super Mario Galaxy works well with the detached joycons. The motion controls can take a little getting used to, but I find after a little while it begins to feel natural.I would say Super Mario 64 hasn't aged perfectly well. The 1996-era graphics, awful camera and at times finicky controls can be frustrating. But this is still a very fun game - I'm also a sucker for nostalgia.I have never played Super Mario Sunshine prior to it being in released on 3D All-Stars, and I must say that it is both terrific and frustrating at the same time. The game has aged well graphically, and the environments, movements and levels are a bunch of fun. Be warned though, if you're a casual game like me, this game can immensely frustrating at times. Some levels are brutal in difficulty (IMO), but persevering through the tougher ones does feel incredibly rewarding. I'm so glad I played this game.I had a lot of fun on Super Mario Galaxy back in the late 2000s, and the game still looks and plays fantastic to this day. The graphics are still quite pleasing, the levels are highly intriguing, and the overall gameplay is so much fun. This is one of Mario's best adventures for sure. The difficulty is balanced well. Some levels can be pretty tricky, and a few can be considered downright difficult, but you don't have to be amazing to beat this game. This may be the best title among the the trio of games on 3D All-Stars.Overall, I've had a blast re-exploring two classic Mario titles, while discovering the world of Super Mario Sunshine for the very first time. Getting three awesome titles for $60 bucks is a great deal - and if you aim to beat each one 100%, the hours you can sink in will definitely give you your money's worth. Plus, each title has pretty darn good replay value.So please, if you're a fan of Nintendo's iconic Italian plumber - whether hard core or simply casually - do yourself a favor and buy 3D All-Stars. I don't think you'll regret it at all.
