Nintendo "Mario" Direct.

Galaxy 1 and 2.... their jumping mechanics were off and that's coming from a hardcore platform player. They were serviceable I guess but it didn't feel like Mario. I eventually got used to them but the whole point of a new Mario game is that it's essentially the same... you shouldn't have to get used to them. They were fun though... 2 especially since it offered some actual challenge. Sunshine, despite being a dark horse in the series, at least felt like Mario. Odyssey was amazing, mostly because it felt very much like Mario 64 with updated graphics. The thing about the 3d Mario games is I really don't like revisiting them but once in a blue moon. You know a new one is going to be out in a few years anyway, so I never saw the point. Modern games are just so much of a time sink.
I'm not really interested in any of these releases tbh. I just want a new game. I wouldn't worry too much about the "limited release" status btw. They said that about Mario All Stars for the Wii and I bet I could still find copies of that in some big box stores. Limited release means nothing unless they tell you how many they intend on producing.

Galaxy runs really well in Dolphin with an Xbox 360 controller and some thoughtful mapping. Didn’t miss the wiimote at all.
Didn’t like Galaxy 2 very much back in the day. Too samey.
Sunshine is an absolute turd then and now.

People said the same thing about Prime 2, and I’m like “so? The first one was good, why not want more of that?”
I never cared for the opinion that a sequel being the same as it’s predecessor made it bad. Lots of sequels get punished for continuing the quality of the game before it, and it never made sense to me. Are you not entertained??
Howard_Casto:
I prefer galaxy 2 over galaxy. The levels in 2, especially the bonus levels, are more difficult and at this point anything that is going to get me a challenge is welcomed. Well except new super luigi U..... ugh. The prime games kind of blur together at this point but I can't remember playing any of them and thinking... "ugh more of this". That being said I'm hoping prime 4 tries something new. The best thing about Metroid games, aside from the Prime trilogy, is that, much like Zelda, they typically change the games up quite a bit. I suppose Zelda does a better job of it, but Metroid still tends to get a lot of tweaks and such. I was really hoping prime 4 was going to be out this winter... even though I knew there wasn't a snowballs chance in hell.
Sunshine isn't bad.... it's just that damn fludd made it fill more like a spin off than a main line Mario game. (Like Luigi's Mansion) I get the feeling that Mr. M. was running around nintendo headquarters playing ghostbusters with a vacuum strapped to his back during that time. The highlight of that game were the mini stand-alone bonus levels.

I loved sunshine. It kept a bunch of stuff from 64 like the star system (shine sprite) red coins and hub world type deal, while adding something new to the mix with the fludd system.
Can we expect a zelda collection for the switch?
I would assume ocarina and majoras mask, maybe skyward sword or twilight princess?. Would hate to buy them again but I do really love playing on the switch while listening to TV lol.
