Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 review for Nintendo Switch
Posted on 1 week ago by Ethan in Reviews, Switch, Switch 2 | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: October 2, 2025
Developer: Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
The 40th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros. series is finally here, and Nintendo’s most notable offering for the event has now arrived as well. By now, there isn’t too much to say about Super Mario Galaxy or Super Mario Galaxy 2 that hasn’t already been said – they’re absolutely brilliant 3D platformers and are properly rated as some of the greatest games of all time. Thankfully, that brilliance continues to shine bright on Nintendo Switch (and Switch 2) with the new re-release. Long story short: if you can stomach the $70 asking price, this is the best official way to play two of Nintendo’s greatest games. The developers have made a whole host of minor changes to these titles that make them a joy to play through, even to this day.
