Super Mario Galaxy and Galaxy 2: the ultimate pack is landing in style! Release date revealed

Nintendo is reigniting the magic of the stars! The publisher has just announced a bundle bringing together Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 on Nintendo Switch, scheduled for release on October 2, 2025. Two legendary adventures that marked millions of players are returning in a modernized version, ready to win over both nostalgic fans and newcomers alike.

Released in 2007 on Wii, Super Mario Galaxy revolutionized 3D platforming with its spherical levels, mind-bending gravity, and enchanting space atmosphere. Its sequel, launched in 2010, pushed the concept even further with new planets, innovative mechanics, and most memorably, the arrival of Yoshi who instantly became a fan favorite. Both titles are considered masterpieces and remain among Nintendo’s finest games, having amassed countless awards and glowing reviews.

By bringing them together in a single package, Nintendo offers the perfect opportunity to relive this intergalactic epic or experience it for the very first time. It’s also a way to extend the Switch’s lifespan while setting the stage for the Switch 2.

This compilation is far more than a simple port. Both games benefit from a technical upgrade with enhanced resolution up to 1080p in handheld mode and 4K when docked alongside a steady 60 FPS for smoother gameplay. The controls have been reworked for the Switch: you’ll be able to mimic Wiimote gestures using the Joy-Con, or switch to a classic button layout. Nintendo is also adding the ability to save at any time, a modern convenience missing from the originals.

To make the event even more special, this pack comes with bonus content. A music gallery lets you enjoy the saga’s iconic orchestral tracks, while a collection of illustrations and never-before-seen sketches reveals behind-the-scenes development. A new “Galactic Challenge” mode introduces extra missions designed for players seeking tougher trials, and compatibility with Mario and Rosalina amiibo unlocks cosmetic extras and helpful in-game bonuses.

The release date is no coincidence: October 2025 marks the 15th anniversary of Super Mario Galaxy 2. Nintendo is turning this milestone into a true celebration, delivering a collection worthy of the legend.
