Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the Nintendo Switch feels like a no-brainer when it comes to celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Super Mario series, as well as preparing moviegoers looking forward to The Super Mario Galaxy Movie next year, a chance to play the games that inspired the titles. It ticks a lot of boxes, but do these nearly 20-year-old Nintendo Wii games hold up to the test of time?
Both games are masterpieces in their own right from a golden era of Nintendo games, so a port was going to come out eventually. But do the changes made to the games enhance or detract from the experience, and how does everything ultimately hold up? And is the magic still there for modern-day gamers who may have never touched them on the Wii to enjoy for the first time?
