The Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 Switch collection is a remastered offering of both Galaxy titles. Its release date is a pivotal moment for long-time fans and those of you who’ve never had the chance to go planet-hopping in space.
As part of Mario’s 40th anniversary, Nintendo shocked everyone by announcing a remastered collection, featuring Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2. It marks the first time Super Mario Galaxy 2 has featured on the Nintendo Switch, whereas the first entry arrived as part of the Super Mario 3D All-Stars Collection.
We’re here today to let you know Super Mario Galaxy 1 & 2’s release date for the Switch 1 and 2, and when you can dive in.
