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.

Something that Nintendo initially mentioned is that new storybook content is in the works. We now know that new stories will be added to the book as you progress.

Nintendo has revealed the price for the just-announced Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2, and it turns out it’ll be quite a bit of cash. Fans will need to dole out $70 for the collection.
This is a bit surprising given what we saw with Super Mario 3D All-Stars. That package launched at $60, and included three games. You can argue that we’re now getting two Wii games instead of one, but it’s a tough sell.
