Super Mario Sunshine is finally coming to Nintendo Switch Online, seemingly letting Switch 2 owners play a worse version than the one Switch has had for 6 years
Nintendo is set to add Super Mario Sunshine to Nintendo Switch Online, giving subscribers access to the GameCube classic through the service’s retro library. The announcement matters because Switch owners have already been able to play a remastered version through Super Mario 3D All-Stars, raising concerns that the newer Switch 2 option may offer an inferior presentation.
Super Mario 3D All-Stars was released for Switch in 2020 and included Sunshine alongside Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy. The article suggests the Switch Online release is likely to be the original GameCube version, potentially without the remaster’s widescreen support, higher resolution and updated controls; 3D All-Stars was also removed from sale in 2021.
- Super Mario Sunshine is coming to Nintendo Switch Online.
- It may be less polished than Switch’s 2020 remaster.
- Super Mario 3D All-Stars is no longer sold digitally.
