Hmm so I guess no big game this winter.  Mario 3d all stars was pretty interesting but for the life of me I don't understand why Galaxy 2 wasn't included other than they want all our money.  The AR Mario Kart looked pretty awesome... it's an idea I've had floating in my head since Twisted Metal was released.  The $99 kit and separate nintendo switch per player seems like it could get out of hand pretty fast though.  Also they don't have my boy Bowser as a kart for sale, so no dice.  Mario 3d world getting released means that the only mainline wii u game that didn't get ported (yet) is Star Fox Zero.  I wonder if that "bowser's fury" bit is enough to justify a re-purchase or it's just a one level add-on like they did with Captain Toad.  Mario 35 looks like good crazy fun..... basically tetris 99 rules applied to SMB.  It's hard to get excited when that was the only "new" game being released.  Hopefully there will be another non-mario related announcement soon.

I don't get the limited nature of all this. They're just feeding ebay trolls, at this point.

I'll get (hopefully) the physical release of 3d World because it's the one game in the 3d series I don't have. I looked at the preorder page on the switch eshop and it's $60 for the digital edition. If the physical edition is limited to ebay scalpers, that's just crap.

*Edit* I just preordered the physical edition from Best Buy. Luckily, we have one nearby.

KenToad:
Some more details emerged about the 3D collection and the physical version went up for preorder on Amazon.

Sunshine doesn't let you use an original Gamecube controller like it was used on an original GameCube or Wii, even though tons of people have them for Smash Ultimate. This is important because the GameCube controller has a unique 2 stage shoulder button that helps you control the Fludd water pressure.

Galaxy expects you to use the touch screen when in handheld mode, which sounds really bad, so you basically aren't able to play the game without the joy con controllers held like Wiimote and nunchuck, not my favorite way to play any game, as the Joy Cons aren't comfortable, IMO.

Mario 64 doesn't have these special control needs, but the game was obviously designed to work best with the N64 controller. If you've ever played the game through an emulator with a different controller, you know that something feels off. I haven't heard if they even tried to fix the button controlled camera.

So the Switch Pro Controller won't work?

KenToad:
You need to shake to do the spin move and point at the screen to collect and shoot star bits.
