    This video proves that they did fully update the textures.

  3. JackhorseBowman

    So the SMG that’s in this is graphically updated vs the one on 3d All Stars?

  4. TheUltimate721

    Having bought the collection last night, one of the underrated things that I like is the fact that autosave happens in the background without jumping up on the screen and locking you into a big window. Helps you get back into the game faster.

    They did this with 3D World too and it was one of the best upgrades from that game.

  5. TerribleTerabytes

    The fact that all Nintendo had to do was simply update the textures for these games to look good, is a testament to how masterfully crafted they were back on Wii. Back then, this game legitimately looked comparable to PS3 games to me and it made me fully believe that the Wii was far more powerful than it actually was. It’s a true showcase of a genius, meticulously created art design that is nothing short of timeless. These games look absolutely gorgeous in 4K.

    These motherfuckers at Nintendo are going to get me to buy these games again.

  7. IrishSpectreN7

    “They downgraded the textures” folks can sit back down, now.

  8. SuicideSkwad

    How are the handheld controls? Haven’t seen mention of them anywhere

  9. Multimoon

    what’s the difference between this copy of galaxy (1) and the one in all-stars?

  10. AssidicPoo

    I’m definitely snagging 2, but will skip 1. Even with the upgrades, spending $30 for 1 when I have All-Stars is a tough pill to swallow.

  12. sammy_zammy

    This video is full of mistakes… for example, he said the HUD is the same as 3D All-Stars when evidently it’s not, and that the opening cutscene is the same when it’s been confirmed as having changed since the trailer was released.

  13. JackOfAllSkills

    Are you supposed to play with joy cons separated or can you just use the pro controller and not use the cursor?

  14. skag_boy87

    Ah fuck, I’m gonna end up buying this smh 🤦🏽‍♂️

  15. Deceptiveideas

    Finally, the state of the art technology of anti-aliasing is finally achievable.

  16. ScoobiesSnacks

    Damn you Nintendo. RIP wallet with Silent Hill f, Ghost of Yotei, and now Super Mario Galaxy 1+2

  17. helium131

    The one thing I’ll add is that the pointer controls seem to work pretty well. I haven’t put that much time in to fully confirm but from the quick hour that I played, I had no issue.

    I’m not sure how they will hold up over boss battles or controlling Yoshi but I was pleasantly surprised how they were working. This was my #1 fear about rebuying these games.

  18. FigsNBranches

    I skipped both of these when I was a teenager so im stoked to get to try out the supposedly best 3d mario games. I’ve heard nothing but good things

  19. viky109

    It would’ve been cool if they remade the pre-rendered cinematics. The one right at the begging looks so bad compared to the rest of the game.

  22. kaleebisnthere

    Heads up, OP. DF already remastered this video and re-uploaded a new version.

  24. grimydude

    Wish they had mouse functions for single player

  25. ProphetNimd

    I’ll probably get these at some point but hopefully later on if/when there’s a sale. Too busy with Final Fantasy Tactics and Silksong at the moment.

  26. FriendlyBrother9660

    Last week you where all bitching that this was a “lazy greedy port”..…….

  27. PurpsMaSquirt

    Playing through Bananza still and my son is working through one of the Kirby games. Once we finish those this is next on my list!

  28. TheIrv87

    If these games were priced accordingly it would have been an instant purchase.

    No shot I’m paying 60 bucks per title for how old these games are.

  29. MercenaryCow

    What about all those issues everybody was talking about, with the downgraded/missing textures?

  30. JozuJD

    They privated the video for some reason. No longer accessible.

  31. Acsteffy

    Edit: not sure why the downvoting. Is this comment taken in a negative way?

    I just want to see a full breakdown comparison between all the different ways to play…

    Wii 480p
    Wii U 480p
    Wii U 1080p upscaled
    Switch 1 720p & 1080p (3D Allstars)
    Switch 1 720p & 1080p (2025)
    Switch 2 4K upscale (3D Allstars)
    Switch 2 4K native (2025)   

    And any other combination that is possible between device and resolution (native & upscaled)

    Even if some dont present any differences, I want to see that.

    This is Nintendo’s Skyrim…

  32. T-Donor66

    Anyone know if any of the “downgraded” textures from the trailer like that grey texture less block in galaxy 2 got fixed? Just curious

  33. chemicalreligion

    Can someone explain to me like I’m an idiot how the motion control stuff works on Handheld mode? Like the waggle controls, etc

  34. CardinalOfNYC

    If I buy the switch 1 version, does it upgrade for free on switch 2 when I buy a switch 2?

    Or will I have to buy the game again to get 4k

  35. LandonKB

    I am just going to pick up Galaxy 2, the version of Galaxy 1 in the collection is good enough for me not to double dip.
