Super Mario 3D All-Stars
Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection is gonna release on September 18 as well.
It will feature an upgraded version of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy on Nintendo Switch. All of these games are considered classic, and some of the best platformers ever made. Hopefully, there are some big changes in this port.
It’s already short on supply, so we would recommend you to get it digitally. “We have just been notified of our allocation of Super Mario 3D All-stars (Nintendo Switch), and it is woefully short. This is very disappointing, and it is with great regret that we have to inform you that we will be unable to fulfill your order on the day of release. Further, as Nintendo and their UK distributors are unable to give us any reassurance that more stock will become available after release, we have taken the regrettable decision to cancel all orders.” -UK Retail Store
