Super Mario 3D All-Stars brings three high-res ports to Switch

64, Sunshine, and Galaxy to be sold in a “limited production” through March.

Thursday morning, Nintendo confirmed longstanding rumors that a set of classic 3D Mario games will be ported to the Switch. As part of a video presentation celebrating Mario's 35th anniversary, the company announced Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a package including "higher resolution" ports of Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy with controls designed specifically for Switch controllers.

While Super Mario 64 was previously emulated on the Wii and Wii U virtual consoles (and heavily modified for a Nintendo DS re-release when that system launched), this is the first time any 3D Mario games have been specifically ported to HD-capable hardware. While Nintendo hasn't specifically confirmed what "higher resolution" will be supported, Super Mario 64 in particular looks much sharper in provided footage.

Super Mario Sunshine will also be playable in a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio for the first time, and all three games will include a soundtrack that can be played independently of the games running or the Switch screen even being active, Nintendo says.

SpaceX launches 12th Starlink mission, says users getting 100Mbps downloads

Company also says it has successfully tested Inter-Satellite links.

On Thursday morning a Falcon 9 rocket lifted off from Kennedy Space Center, carrying SpaceX's 12th batch of Starlink Internet satellites. The mission went nominally, with the first stage making a safe landing several minutes after the launch, and the full stack of satellites deploying shortly thereafter.

Prior to launch, webcast commentator Kate Tice, a senior program reliability engineer at SpaceX, offered several details about development of the space-based Starlink Internet service.

"We are well into our first phase of testing of our private beta program, with plans to roll out a public beta later this year," Tice said. For several months, the SpaceX has been collecting names and addresses for people interested in participating in the public beta here.
