can't say im not at least a little bit disappointed with this. its a shame that galaxy 2 hasn't been included - its basically the same game as galaxy 1 so idk why you wouldn't put it in there, only reason i can think of is that maybe the gyro pointer is too unstable/inaccurate to properly use yoshi? (we know that its less accurate than the IR pointer from other games and unlike galaxy 1 where you can kinda get away with that, the pointer is a central part of gameplay when you use yoshi so who knows). it wouldve been amazing to have a proper remake for these games but i understand that theyre probably too different from each other to do that easily... and taking a closer look at some comparisons, it does look a bit crisper than the original releases, so thats pretty nice actually. i also kinda wish that it was a little cheaper, considering how low effort it seems to be. i get that this is more of a "special edition" limited release game rather than a "proper" release like sm3dw is, but full price is a bit hard to swallow for something with not a lot of effort put in, and the whole "it disappears after march" thing, while i think i actually almost understand the rationale behind it (again, goes back to the whole special edition thing), is still kinda lame, and really perpetuates a FOMO kind of mindset for me which i dislike. i already have some form of each of these games (if you count sm64ds, that is), so its not really something i need to buy, and i do especially appreciate the sunshine release since gamecube games are pretty rare, especially in australia so if i didnt have a copy my brother hunted up for me years ago i probably would be over the moon for the chance to play it, so i guess this is more of a me problem as well (side note: next time nintendo should do the same 3 game release style for the first three paper marios just so i can get my hands on a legitimate copy of ttyd, i would happily pay an annoying amount of money for that).
naturally, with all these mixed feelings i have, i... preordered it this morning, cause i like giving nintendo money for somewhat half-baked releases of stuff i already own, apparently. looking forward to playing original sm64 for the first time, getting all 120 shines in sms for the first time, and 100%ing mario galaxy for the 5th time (or 9th and 10th if you wanna count mario and luigi as separate lol)
