The Nintendo Switch 2 is already shaping up to be a hit, with iconic characters like Kirby, Zelda, and Samus Aran gearing up for exciting new adventures. Known for its talent in reviving classic games, Nintendo is celebrating the anniversary of Super Mario Bros. with the launch of a fresh edition of the galactic double pack Super Mario Galaxy, now available on (virtual) store shelves.
Super Mario Galaxy: A Fan Favorite and Classic
Super Mario Galaxy debuted in 2007 as the first game starring Nintendo’s most popular hero for the, back then, brand-new Wii, with a sequel arriving three years later. Even now, both titles are considered some of the best in the entire series. The Wii’s motion controls meshed perfectly with the premise of these adventures, where Mario – as the title suggests – dives into new galaxies, explores wild planets, and deals with low gravity.
This beloved 3D platformer marks Rosalina’s first appearance. In the second game, Mario’s brother Luigi and the friendly Yoshi also join the fun – and the universe of these games seems epic enough for Nintendo to spotlight in their next movie, set to premiere in spring 2026.
