Technical specifications[]
- All three games will use the Joy-Con and Nintendo Switch Pro Controller in all available modes, with HD Rumble support.
- All three games have improved higher resolution image qualities up to 1920 x 1080 (docked), except for Super Mario 64 (see below).[1]
- The games have been optimized for an improved performance on the Nintendo Switch.
- The game will have a mode where players can listen to entire soundtracks of all three games.
Super Mario 64[]
- The game maintains the original 4:3 aspect ratio.
- The HUD maintains faithful to the original, but now no longer in a pixel-like design.
- The title screen has the "Press +" instead of the "Press Start" text to best match the controls of the Switch.
- In both docked and handheld modes, the game will have a resolution of 960 x 720.[1]
Super Mario Sunshine[]
- For the first time ever, Sunshine will be playable in full 16:9 aspect ratio display.
- Apparently, Mario still retains the F.L.U.D.D. when playing the challenge areas.
Super Mario Galaxy[]
- The player will use the Joy-Cons for use of motion controls in place of the Wii Remote and Nunchuk.[2]
- Players are required to use the detached Joy-Cons even if the game is played on the Nintendo Switch Lite.
- Since the speaker function is not present on the Joy-Cons as with the Wii Remote, it will not return for the Switch version.
- The star cursor is now determined by the use of motion rather than requiring a sensor, namely the Wii Sensor Bar.
- If played in handheld mode, the cursor can also be interacted through touchscreen controls.[2]
