With “Super Mario Galaxy”, Switch 2 looks more like Wii than ever

Remember Super Mario Galaxy (not the upcoming film)? You better. One of these games was released for the strangest console in Nintendo, the Wii, designed for the system with a TV remote controller. It was more than innovating for the time. No other game has managed to reproduce Galaxy Complicated severity simulation. Each jump and jump sends Mario orbit around a planetoid, the camera barely capable of following. It is also beautiful now on Switch 2 with a large 4K television as in 2007, played on my old CRT Boxy TV. It looks better, but does it play better when we replace the Wii remote control with a Joy-Con 2?

Nintendo invited me to play through a single level in both Super Mario Galaxy And Super Mario Galaxy 2. The company sells each game separately for $ 40, or you can buy them both for $ 70 at a “Mama Mia” level price for an 18 -year -old game. The Mario Maker has suggested that it was a good deal, because you get new chapters of stories, improved textures and a 4K resolution in your regular appearance report 16: 9. There is also a new “assistance mode” which adds additional health and will automatically save Mario if it falls into a black hole. It is a recreation, and on the basis of my brief experience with her, it is a good thing.

The gyro is not quite the same as the Wii remote control

The original SUser Mario Galaxy Used the Remote Wii as well as the Nunchuk attachment to allow the normal suite of Mario jump attacks, as well as the pointer to collect candy -colored sprites and launch them with enemies. Galaxy Witnesses were particularly simplified in relation to Super Mario 64 And Super Mario Sunshine To compensate for the lack of facial pimples on the Wiimote. Now on Switch 2, we can only approach what the original game looked like.

Joy-Con 2 controllers use integrated gyroscopes to simulate the pointer on the screen. You can use the movement commands or the X button to finish Mario’s spin attack and the ZR shoulder button to launch sprites or enter “tile stars”. In Super mario Galaxy 2The gyro is also the way you aim for the language of Yoshi to licked enemies (both in terms of swallowing and throwing them).

You can also use Nintendo’s Switch 2 Pro Controller or any other third -party game game with an integrated gyro. Depending on my experience with GalaxyHolding the controller and doing it going around is more uncomfortable than lounging with a Joy-Con 2 in each hand. Unlike the Wii, which used an infrared sensor bar to follow your remote control, the Switch 2 does not have this capacity. If you lose the sensor or move your controller, you will reset the cursor by pressing one of the R buttons. This means that you do not have to point the Joy-Con 2 directly on the screen, although you can lose track of your cursor if your hand starts to derive.

I have encountered some problems with the Joy-Con 2 registering with the game, although Nintendo told me that it was perhaps a problem with so many Switch 2 units, and that should not be a problem with the final game. I want to believe them; Nintendo had already reassessed the 2007 original on the first switch with the limited series of Super Mario 3D All-Stars. The title on Switch 2 is certainly the best version. The pastel colors seem shocking today when you compare the 480p resolution from the original to the modern version at 4K and the large native screen support. The game looks like a stories book, with each large and daring color, surrounded by the sparkle of space and a sea of ​​stars. There is an ethereal quality for the world and its characters. Once you have displayed the game side by side with its old version, you can see how the updated textures make the difference.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond plays very well with the gyro and the mouse

I only hope that the game will also be delivered with mouse commands. Such a functionality seemed to be a shoo-in when Nintendo showed the game for the first time last week. The fact that the Switch 2 version is missing leaves the potential gameplay of the table. I also managed to play the first level of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond– A game I have been waiting for so many years. It is the same demo that Nintendo showed before the beginnings of Switch 2, but it may be one of the emblematic games of all that the console has to offer.

Metroid Prime The classic locking mechanic combines with Gyro controls Metroid Prime 3: Corruption On the original Wii. Then, with the added mouse controls, you can switch transparent between the gyroscope and the precision mouse to simply placing the Joy-Con 2 on a flat surface. Easy exchange to and from mouse commands is the only missing element in the otherwise excellent port of Cyberpunk 2077. Now, I can’t help but think about how I want to suit the incredible Metroid Prime: remasteredBut with options to activate Metroid Prime 4’s Orders.

Metroid Prime 4 will cost the same $ 70 as the Galaxy remake.
