Nintendo has officially revealed that both Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 will be landing on the Nintendo Switch in a bundled collection, scheduled for release on October 2, 2025.
This highly anticipated pairing brings two of the most beloved 3D platformers in gaming history to a new generation, marking the first appearance of Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the Switch platform.
Originally developed by Nintendo EAD Tokyo, the Super Mario Galaxy titles redefined platforming with their innovative gravity mechanics and imaginative level design.
Super Mario Galaxy first debuted on the Nintendo Wii in 2007, quickly earning critical acclaim and numerous Game of the Year awards.
Its sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, launched in 2010 and further cemented Mario’s reputation as the king of 3D platformers.
Until now, Super Mario Galaxy 2 had yet to appear on any modern Nintendo hardware outside of the original Wii release and Wii U digital re-release.
The upcoming Nintendo Switch bundle will give fans the opportunity to relive Mario’s galactic adventures, both at home and on the go.
Nintendo has clarified that this bundle will not feature enhancements specifically for the rumored Switch 2 hardware and will run as expected on current Nintendo Switch models.
However, the company is sweetening the launch with additional Mario Galaxy-themed amiibo, alongside a new physical storybook inspired by the narrative and artistry of the games.
In an official statement, Nintendo affirmed their commitment to honoring fan demand, noting, "Players have been eager to experience Super Mario Galaxy 2 on the Switch for years.
We're pleased to finally deliver both iconic games together for longtime fans and newcomers alike."
For those preferring a digital-only experience or who wish to purchase one title instead of the complete set, Nintendo has confirmed that Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 will also be available as separate purchases on the Nintendo Switch eShop.
This launch continues Nintendo's ongoing strategy of making classic titles accessible to new audiences through the Switch hardware and digital storefront.
Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 have collectively sold millions of copies worldwide, with the original Galaxy boasting over 12 million units sold on Wii alone.
Their arrival on Nintendo Switch underscores the enduring legacy of the Super Mario franchise and the company’s dedication to celebrating its most acclaimed games.
The inclusion of new amiibo and a themed storybook adds even more value for Mario enthusiasts eager to delve back into the cosmos with their favorite plumber.
Be sure to mark your calendars for October 2, 2025, when the Super Mario Galaxy bundle launches on Nintendo Switch, with pre-orders expected to become available through the Nintendo eShop and major retailers.
