My only decision is physical or digital, and it's only going to be physical to be honest.
This looks fantastic, but I wonder if Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be coming at a later date.

The racing game, while I don't see myself playing it I will, no doubt, buy it, it looks remarkable.

And, lastly, the Game&Watch has to be mine, it is simply beautiful!

I never got to play it the first time around and since SMG is probably my favourite Mario game it's disappointing to see it missing in the collection, and completely ignored in the Direct.:(

I'd say it'd probably have been a smarter decision to release Mario 64 for free on Nintendo Switch Online, and bundle Sunshine and the Galaxy games instead.

I suppose they could always tack it on as a DLC too.

GameStop Twitter are looking into availability Smyth's don't seem to have anything up yet only other Bricks and Mortar option is Argos they're all more focused on next gen than this and it looks to have been pulled from thin air by Nintendo so maybe it'll be Monday before there's info from these three

It is up now on Amazon, just pre ordered it.

Never actually played any of those games that are part of the new All Stars pack, but a tad disappointed none are proper remasters (by the looks of things). Mario 64 looks very prototypical of the sub-genre of Mario games seen later with Galaxy & Odyssey; and those early 3D platform games were kinda notorious for having awful cameras - no idea if that included Mario 64.

It's unlikely the PS5 and Xbox Series X will have anything as good as this for a long time!

Well, it's 35 years, and there is still nothing like these on other platforms.
(I've just put a post on the "new Nintendo direct" channel about the brilliance of these games.)

It's now up on Smyths' site also to order.

Thanks for the link, pre-ordered. Must keep an eye out now for cheaper options. The Game Collection are normally good.

Just pre-ordered from Amazon but, if Smyth's have a better deal I'll cancel and buy from them instead.

CastorTroy

Smyths for 59.99 so will go with that. Think Parcel Motel cancels out any savings with amazon. Plus amazon has become really unreliable for me lately.

CiDeRmAn

God's help me but I've ordered both the Game and Watch and Mario Kart Live from Nintendo.co.uk
£149.99 for the two...
I'm in deep folks, no hope of rescue

I got my Wii + Galaxy , my Wii U + 3d World and my Switch + Odyssey in Smyths. Mainly because they were the cheapest and I could drive there and pick those suckers up in person!

CastorTroy

Yeah Smyths are handy and rarely much more expensive than online prices.
When once I would go to amazon as my first port of call, they've gotten really bad lately and only use them if necessary.

Never had a problem with Amazon until recently. Couple of games lost by DPD and a desk that's not getting shipped for some reason. No problem getting my money back though.

Early on Amazon were great, delivering to Irish addresses ahead of the release date.
But lately they've been terrible, for games at least.

Smyth's is handy, as said, I can nip off to the local branch and pick up my goodies.

I'm hoping they've got something nice as a pre-order bonus...

CastorTroy

That's just it. They lost an SSD that I had to reorder. They stopped tracking Last of Us 2 and thought it was lost but turned up a couple weeks after the original date I was given. So if this is limited, I would rather know I was getting it rather than have it get lost with no way to replace it.
And due to their lack of reliability I didn't buy any Christmas presents from them last year since no guarantee they would've made it here in time, if at all.

Those mario pins look really nice ... But US only it seems.

What do you need for Nintendo store uk to ship to Ireland address ... ?

I'm using Parcel Motel, but they've shipped to my home address before.

The Game & Watch is there for pre-order on the GameStop.ie website

I've gone for Smyths myself too. Just ordered the 3D All Stars and Luigi Kart Live. Didn't think Nintendo was gonna get any money off me for the remainder of the year. Now they got €170. Eeep!

We're meant to use these things? I thought it could just sit nicely by my unopened NES and SNES minis
