It’s been nearly two months since the release of Super Mario 3D All-Stars, and since that time, the game has allowed fans both new and old to experience the magic of the early 3D Mario games. Now Nintendo is giving older fans an opportunity to use a throwback controller as a means of experiencing one game in particular that’s included in Super Mario 3D All-Stars.
One of the games that comes included in the All-Stars collection is Super Mario Sunshine. Originally released on the GameCube back in 2002, Sunshine brought a lot of new concepts to the table, introducing new characters and enemies that would grow to become mainstay members of the series, such as Bowser Jr. and Petey Piranha to name a few. However, now it seems players will be able to experience Super Mario Sunshine how it was originally intended.
Nintendo has just released an update for Super Mario 3D All-Stars that allows players to play Super Mario Sunshine using a GameCube controller. Considering that the game originally released on the GameCube, the fact that players can use GameCube controllers adapted for the Switch to play Sunshine is quite the nostalgia trip for some or even exciting for those who never played the game on the console it initially released on.
It’s amazing how much mileage the GameCube controller has had in terms of its presence on other consoles. Considering the Wii’s backwards compatibility with GameCube games and controllers, the outcry of fans who asked to have GameCube controllers compatible with the Wii U when Super Smash Bros. for Wii U released, and GameCube controllers now adapted for Nintendo Switch, the amount of longevity the controller has had across console generations is astounding.
It goes to show the amount of influence the controller has had in terms of the history of Nintendo and its production of gaming hardware. In fairness, the company has yet to make N64 controllers or NES controllers compatible with the Switch. So for whatever reason, a staggering number of Nintendo fans have latched onto the controller.
In any case, it will be interesting to see what else Nintendo has in store in terms of both the GameCube controller and Super Mario 3D All-Stars. Given the newfound presence the GameCube controller has on the Nintendo Switch, it may be in the company’s best interest to start porting more GameCube games onto the system, considering that there’s already a GameCube controller optimized for the Switch. There’s likely a lot of fans that would want to see more remasters of older games, given the success of 3D All-Stars.
Super Mario 3D All-Stars is available now exclusively for the Nintendo Switch.
