While the presentation still doesn’t feel quite right in the remake – it’s like an external team using brand guidelines to come up with ‘something Mario’ – there are some significant additions here.
Thankfully, while most of its early levels are virtually identical to the original, the game’s fourth world is entirely new to the Switch version – the first of two new worlds in the remake – and it does introduce some original mechanics. The remake also introduces a co-op mode and a casual difficulty, which adds checkpoints, though we can’t imagine many older players will need it to be any easier.
When did they re-release SMG?
Assuming SMG is Super Mario Galaxy, that was in 2020 as part of the 3D All Stars collection.
Sadly, Nintendo being Nintendo, thought it would be a great idea to “Disney Vault” it and pull it from sale after just a few months. Only available now if you buy a secondhand physical copy at a huge markup.
Whoops, I meant SMW. There I go, asking the entirely wrong question while trying to be clever.
I don’t remember the year, but I had SMW on the game boy advanced so it was rereleased then.
Oh yeah, I remember that! Dang, that was a long time ago…
