Where to pre-order Super Mario 3D All-Stars for Nintendo Switch

As many Nintendo fans have no doubt found out, Mario is set to receive a host of new games to mark 35 years since his initial creation. One of the most notable inclusions is Super Mario 3D All-Stars for the Nintendo Switch, which is a collection of three classic titles — Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy. While not ground-up remakes, each remaster is said to be optimized for the hybrid console, which means higher resolutions, new screen ratios, and added Joy-Con support. Also included is an in-game music player which allows users to play 175 tracks from each game, even while their Switch console is turned off.

Pre-Order Now

What’s even better is the collection is out in just over two weeks on September 18. The downside is this is the lack of time players have to secure a copy. To add to the pressure, Nintendo has announced that the title is a limited-run until March 31, 2021. What this means is that the game is available both digitally and physically until then but after that, its future is unknown. This undoubtedly puts a lot of pressure on Nintendo fans, especially physical game collectors who want to secure a copy of the game for launch. Nintendo announced that the game will be up for pre-order from September 3. However, retailer information is scarce and Nintendo’s website simply states the information is coming soon. That doesn’t mean some retailers haven’t already put their orders up.

Due to the limited nature, people are often known to purchase multiple copies and reselling them at a higher rate once all stock is depleted. As a result, the limited-run has has ensured stock is in short supply, so getting that pre-order is vital for those who want a physical copy on release. Luckily, multiple outlets are still taking on pre-orders and are expected to arrive on release.

The unique collector’s item will come loaded with Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, and a special version of Ball with a Mario makeover.

Additionally, a real-world version of the classic racing game is set to arrive on October 16 called Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit. The hybrid game comes packed with a physical kart, in which players can create their own tracks and use the Switch to race around their own house. Custom courses can be created and using a built-in camera, the kart responds to boosts by speeding faster in the real world and even stops when it’s hit with an item.

OLED Nintendo Switch

The Nintendo Switch OLED has been essentially impossible to purchase since its release a couple of months ago, and unfortunately, its popularity hasn't decreased during the holiday shopping season.

Nintendo Switch games don't go on sale as often as some of the other consoles, first-party titles especially. So, when there's a promotion or discount it's always best to see what's available and gauge whether or not you've been wanting a game, or two, or three. Besides the many upcoming Nintendo Switch games soon to release, there is an incredible selection of relatively new to old titles too!

One of the best things about Switch games is that you can also grab them pre-owned without missing out on anything major -- they don't typically include download codes and most downloadable items are free. That allows you to get them cheaper than full price, alongside new copies that go on sale. You can choose either option, going with whatever matches your budget. It's the perfect time to mention that GameStop is hosting a sale on many Switch games right now, with some truly excellent prices. You can browse the sale yourself, or see our top picks below.
