Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 Remastered Announced for Nintendo Switch: Pricing, Features, and Release Details

Nintendo has officially announced the Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 remastered bundle for the Nintendo Switch, bringing two of the most beloved platformers in gaming history to a new generation.

Following a formal reveal via an updated Nintendo Direct, store pages for both titles are now live, with international pricing and release information confirmed for eager fans. This new bundle marks the return of two acclaimed Wii classics—Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2—both receiving significant enhancements for the Nintendo Switch platform.

Scheduled for release on October 2, the remastered editions are offered as a bundle for $70 USD (or £58.99 in the UK, with region-specific details pending for the physical edition), available in both physical and digital formats.

For those who prefer to purchase the games individually, Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 will also be sold separately as digital downloads via the Nintendo eShop at $39.99 / £33.99 each. The decision to price the bundle at $70 has drawn attention, especially in comparison to past digital releases.

Notably, when the titles appeared on the Wii U Virtual Console, they were initially offered at a discounted rate before increasing to £17.99.

However, the Nintendo Switch remasters offer far more than simple re-releases.

Enhanced visual fidelity, additional in-game content, and amiibo support set these editions apart from previous iterations.

Nintendo representatives have emphasized the significant work involved in updating the titles, stating that the current remasters feature substantial improvements over previous releases, including the limited-time Super Mario 3D All-Stars compilation, which did not include Super Mario Galaxy 2. Adding to the value for Switch owners, both Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 will support a free update to increase graphical resolution to 4K while docked on the upcoming Switch 2 hardware, and 1080p while in handheld mode.

This futureproofing ensures an optimal experience for players who upgrade to Nintendo’s next console platform. Both games are widely considered among the highest achievements in Nintendo's storied platforming legacy, and their return to the Switch via this comprehensive remaster demonstrates the company’s ongoing commitment to celebrating its classic franchises.

As October approaches, fans can look forward to reliving, or discovering for the first time, the iconic adventures that helped define a generation of Super Mario titles.

More information can be found on the Nintendo eShop ahead of the October 2 launch date.
