To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros., Nintendo has announced Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2. Launching on October 2nd for the original Switch, they’ll be available separately for $39.99 each and in a physical and digital bundle for $69.99.
While supporting 1080p on Switch, Switch 2 users can experience both titles in 4K resolution. They also include additional Storybook Chapters, improved menus and UIs, amiibo support, and even a new Assist Mode. The latter features added health and fall recovery to help ease new players in.
There’s also Soundtrack Mode for listening to the incredible orchestral scores in-game. Best of all, unlike Super Mario 3D All-Stars, these won’t be available for a limited time (at least, for now).
