Description

Nintendo Delivers Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Duo to Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 eShop Nintendo has announced a significant addition to the Nintendo eShop’s lineup in North America, with the dual release of Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 for both the Nintendo Switch and upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 platforms.

The collection, available from October 2 for $69.99, allows players to once again experience two of the most critically acclaimed entries in the Super Mario franchise, now with several enhancements fitting Nintendo’s latest hardware offerings. Originally released for the Nintendo Wii—Super Mario Galaxy in 2007 and Super Mario Galaxy 2 in 2010—these titles are celebrated for their innovative gravity-based platforming, expansive cosmic environments, and charming narrative elements.

Developed in-house by Nintendo, each game has since earned a dedicated fanbase and sold millions of copies worldwide.

The arrival of these games on the Nintendo Switch eShop signals another opportunity for longtime fans and new players alike to explore the mythic galaxies alongside Mario, Rosalina, Yoshi, Princess Peach, and Bowser. The new compilation brings a host of improvements to modernize the experience.

According to official Nintendo statements, both titles run at enhanced resolutions: 1080p on the Nintendo Switch and an impressive 4K when played on the Nintendo Switch 2, with the visual upgrade included as a free update.

Additionally, players can utilize a newly introduced Assist Mode—a feature designed to support less experienced players, making both adventures more accessible than ever before. In Super Mario Galaxy, players join Mario as he navigates unique, spherical worlds to recover the stolen Power Stars, encountering Rosalina for the first time and striving to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser’s cosmic clutches.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 expands upon the formula by introducing Starship Mario, a mobile hub shaped like Mario’s head, and bringing fan-favorite Yoshi into the adventure for cooperative mechanics and exploration. As Nintendo continues its successful strategy of combining legacy titles with modern enhancements, the Super Mario Galaxy collection is poised to become an essential addition to the Switch library.

The ongoing support for classic titles demonstrates Nintendo’s commitment to preservation and innovation, ensuring new generations can enjoy iconic gaming experiences. For Switch fans eager to revisit or discover these galactic adventures, Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 is now available for digital purchase on the Nintendo Switch eShop, backed by positive early reviews and anticipation ahead of the Nintendo Switch 2's release.
