Super Mario has cradled the childhood of several generations of fans and continues to write its history on Nintendo Switch with a Super Mario Odyssey that has been among the top 3 best-selling games on the hybrid console since its launch. For nostalgic fans, as well as younger ones who want to discover or relive the franchise’s classics, Nintendo is preparing a surprise collection to celebrate Super Mario’s 35th anniversary.
The information comes to us from the Video Games Chronicles website, which is often well informed. The news has since been confirmed by Eurogamer and VentureBeat. Big N is reportedly preparing a collection of most of the Super Mario games released over the past four decades: from Super Mario Bros. (1985), Super Mario Galaxy (2007) and Super Mario Sunshine (2002).
Eurogamer goes one step further and calls it the “Super Mario All-Stars 2” collection, referring to the franchise’s first compilation (1993) of Super Mario games released in the 1980s. The new collection would also include remastered versions of Super Mario 64.
