You can now get Nintendo Switch’s rarest Mario game cheaper on PC

Nintendo released Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a collection featuring Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy, but it was limited and lacked significant enhancements. Super Mario 64 is available through Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack, and Super Mario Galaxy has a standalone release, while Super Mario Sunshine is only available in the discontinued collection, making it costly for players. The market for Super Mario 3D All-Stars shows varied pricing, with some sellers inflating prices significantly. An alternative, Super Mario Sunshine ‘ReShine,’ is being developed for PC through decompilation efforts, requiring a physical copy of the original game. Gameplay footage has been shared, demonstrating that the port is fully playable and resembles the original. The ReShine version is not yet publicly available but is expected soon. Playing on PC allows for mods and performance enhancements but may lose the authentic experience. Nintendo has released a Bluetooth GameCube controller for the Nintendo Switch 2, which can be used to recreate the original gameplay feel. The decision to restrict Super Mario Sunshine to the collection raises questions about its availability on the Nintendo Switch Online service.
