Nintendo is re-releasing two classic Mario games via Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2. It’s a complete collection of the two Galaxy games, with upgraded graphics and quality of life features, but let’s see if the Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 price is a dealbreaker for many of you.
Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are two of the best games ever, critically speaking. They are considered legendary video games, so it’s no surprise that Nintendo is bundling them together in one super-duper collection. The games are so good, they’ll have you seeing stars. The reception to the collection has been positive, but there are question marks over its price tag.
This isn’t the first time a Super Mario Galaxy game has been remastered in the last few years. Time to find out how much this costs, and if its price will send you through time and space.
Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 Price On Nintendo Switch
Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 costs $69.99 or £58.99 for the Nintendo Switch.
Switch 2 owners get a free upgrade, so there are no hidden costs there. However, it’s now time to decide if two remasters are worth $70. It will all depend on how much you loved the originals, and how eager you are to try them out if you never have before.
The biggest talking points about the collection concern value for money and repetition. $70 for two games that are over 15 years old with minor graphical upgrades might not justify a purchase. Furthermore, the 2020 Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection included Super Mario Galaxy. You could question the lazy nature of the bundle.
For Mario fans, there’s probably no debate—this is worth the time and money.
Is Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 on Switch 1 & Switch 2?
Yes, you can buy and play Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 on both the Nintendo Switch and Switch 2.
Here’s what the official Nintendo store page has to say:
A free update will be available for Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Nintendo Switch 2! Enjoy both games at 4K resolution in TV mode or 1080p in Handheld and Tabletop mode.
You’re free to enjoy Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 on whichever platform—although the Switch 2 is likely to be the best way to enjoy both platformers.
Can You Buy Super Mario Galaxy 2 Separately?
Nintendo has confirmed that both games in the collection can be purchased separately.
For example, if you own Super Mario 3D All-Stars and don’t want to pay for Super Mario Galaxy again, you don’t have to. Both games can be purchased individually for a cheaper price.
So, what’s the verdict? Are you happy with how much Super Mario Galaxy 1 + 2 costs on Switch and Switch 2? Should Nintendo be charging for the first Super Mario Galaxy again, given that it was in the Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection? What should this bundle have cost?
