A limited number of physical copies will be made, while the digital version will only be sold on the Switch eShop until the end of March 2021. Bizarre.

The triple pack will see each game 'optimised' for Nintendo Switch. The trio will feature higher resolutions and 'smoother gameplay performance', Nintendo has said, as well as a music player mode to listen to tunes from the three games.

As expected, these are not radical redesigns or remakes of the original games. Also as expected, unfortunately there's no sign of Super Mario Galaxy 2.

Oh, and when playing Galaxy's Co-Star mode, you will need separate Joy-Cons to use their pointer functionality. Worth noting for those with a Nintendo Switch Lite.

Eurogamer first reported on Nintendo's plans, which were delayed as a result of this year's E3 being cancelled, back in March.

Super Mario 64 came out in 1996 to revolutionize the way the world thought about video games. It wasn’t the first 3D platformer (just off the top of my head, Jumping Flash! and a French game called Alpha Waves both predate it), but it was the one that created the blueprint for such games going forward.

The game was hailed as a masterpiece immediately. In fact, Next Generation magazine called it the best video game ever made before the game was officially out (though Next Generation had played a review copy of the game by that point). Ultra Game Players magazine gave it their 1996 Game of the Year Award. Needless to say, Super Mario 64 is a hugely important part of video-game history.

Now, the game is getting a fresh lease on life on the Nintendo Switch via Super Mario 3D All-Stars.
