    Puzzle League, it's ridiculous that there isn't already one on the Switch.

    We should find out if there's any truth to it (at least in terms of timing) tomorrow or Friday. Video stated that the second rumor source said the announcement would be the first week of September. While they could do it over the weekend, Nintendo generally doesn't do that. And after this weekend it'll be the second week. Of course, there's nothing saying they can't simply change the announcement date, or that the first source could be right but the second wrong. But at that point it casts doubt on the rumor's second source entirely since they sounded very confident it would be the first week of September.

    That's why I said those are my favorite kinds of rumors, because at least we don't have long to wait and wonder :lol 

    (Of course, the first source for it coming at all is a separate source. So if nothing happens, it could still be coming... but we're back to square one in terms of waiting/wondering.)

    Can someone reccomend an SD card, cause good lord, I installed the Bioshock trilogy on my Switch, and the first one is over 13 gigabytes! The game came out 13 years ago.
    My system memory and 64 gigabyte SD card is almost maxed.

    Ebay:
    Go for a 256 GB one I'd say. Amazon has Sandisks at pretty good prices right now.

    Wow, they did the absolute bare minimum for this. I can't say I am that surprised, but I'm still disappointed that they didn't even bother updating the camera controls for Super Mario 64.

    See this is why I love short term rumors! Finally! Something happened! :lol 

    3D World looks awesome on Switch, I always felt like that game (like most of the Wii U catalogue) never got a fair shake. Super, super fun game imo.

    The whole rumor was true. Revealed Thursday? Check. 3D World coming spring? Check. All Stars coming soon? Check. Awesome!

    Home Circuit looks incredible and I wasn't expecting that. At all. Only Nintendo can do this kind of bonkers augmented reality stuff and get away with it I swear lol. Love them for that, always have.

    Oh snap they even announced the original 2D All Stars like I hoped! :lol  Awesomeness!

    My only (very slight) disappointments/nitpicks with all of this great news: I don't see any graphical enhancements whatsoever in the 3D All Stars collection besides resolution and aspect ration (which are appreciated and fine, don't get me wrong,) but, much more importantly, I'm not sure if I see any enhancements to Mario 64's camera controls, potentially (though it's hard to tell - hopefully they've been enhanced as well.) And I hope Galaxy can be played without motion controls at all whatsoever. Or at least make it mappable to gyro or something. (I know, I know, this is "part of the game," but, no. I reject motion other than gyro, sorry. Just not for me.) And lastly, what's with this "available for a limited time" even for the digital version? Is it like that Zelda compilation disc on Gamecube that was limited or...? Did they just word it poorly? "A limited run retail edition, and a digital edition of the game, will be available for a limited time, until the end of March 2021." Why limit the digital edition's availability?

    Ultimately though just the fact that these games are going to officially be on Switch is awesome and I couldn't be happier!

    Does anyone wanna see other collections? Like a Super Mario Handheld Allstars + Wario Land or a Mario & Luigi collection?

    I do not mind that 3D All-Stars aren't all remastered and stuff.

    One, its kinda celebrating these masterpieces the way they are and what they mean to Mario game history.

    Two, younger players who never played these get the authentic experience.

    Well, technically you could be happier if they put more effort into the 3D collection, right?

    I'm a little bummed out by the collection.
    Don't get me wrong, I'm happy to see them all be on the Switch, but I wish there was more in it. What if Nintendo fully remastered the game, like the original Allstars? With new characters, updated graphics, etc. Give it the Super Mario 64 DS treatment by adding characters like Luigi to Sunshine, or Wario to Galaxy.
    Plus, no Galaxy 2?! I'm still buying it though.

    :lol  True. At least as an option. The point someone else made above about authenticity is a good one, but that's why options exist.

    But I'm still very happy!

    3D collection is 60$, a little bit too over priced for games that came out more than 10 years ago.
