The upcoming Switch ports of Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 will surely be excellent ways to play a pair of all-timer 3D platformers, but at $40 apiece – or $70 for the pair – there's some question over whether that price is worth it. The price is doubly questionable given that the first Galaxy already got an upgraded Switch port once before, but it at least seems that the new port is getting a bit of extra remastering work.
Nintendo bills both Super Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 on Switch as having "upgraded visuals," and it's more than a simple resolution boost, according to analysis from a new GVG video, which you can see below. There are some pretty striking texture upgrades which add some nice details, and in direct comparisons with the old Super Mario 3D All-Stars version of Galaxy on Switch, it's clear there's been some notable work in improving the looks of this new port.
