One of Nintendo’s biggest games of the year isn’t just one game, but 3 classic games. Super Mario 3D All-Stars releases later this week on September 18 bundled with Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy to help celebrate Super Mario‘s 35th anniversary. And now Nintendo has released a new video showing off a taste of the gameplay players can experience later this week.
In the newest Nintendo Minute video, hosts Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang showcase new gameplay of Super Mario 3D All-Stars while taking a trip down memory lane, reminiscing about playing the 3 classic Mario titles when they originally released. The 8-minute long video primarily shows gameplay that was originally shown during the Super Mario 3D All-Stars reveal trailer, however, it does show some new sections of the games, such as climbing as Bee Mario in Super Mario Galaxy.
While the new gameplay in this video may be small in comparison to the amount of commentary and footage that was previously revealed, that doesn’t mean Nintendo doesn’t have confidence in its collection. In fact, Super Mario 3D All-Stars is already ahead of The Last of Us 2 on the Amazon Best Sellers List for 2020, despite the collection not releasing until next week. The 3 Mario games included in the collection are widely considered to be classics among players, so it makes sense that it probably doesn’t feel the need to show a ton of new gameplay.
However, there’s one part of the gameplay shown in this video that is rather odd. During the section for Super Mario Sunshine, players can very clearly see that the button prompt to use F.L.U.D.D. is not the X button found on either the Joy Con or the Switch Pro controller, but the X button for the GameCube controller.
While Super Mario Sunshine did originally debut on the GameCube, according to the official Nintendo Japan website, Super Mario 3D All-Stars does not support the Nintendo Switch GameCube controller. This lack of change likely wouldn’t be a big deal, however, players can very clearly see the Nintendo Switch’s + button as the prompt to start Super Mario 64 in the footage.
This could likely feed into the many controversies surrounding Super Mario 3D All-Stars where some players have described the collection as “a bunch of lazy ports.” These claims alongside other facts such as the game having a limited sale window (including the digital edition), the notable absence of Super Mario Galaxy 2, and it being sold as a full-priced game, is enough to make most people give pause. However, when it comes to Nintendo it seems most players would just rather play their favorite classic games in whatever way they can.
Super Mario 3D All-Stars will release on September 18 on Nintendo Switch.
