Mario 3D All-Stars will finally get new camera options next month

Nintendo will add a much-requested camera feature to Super Mario 3D All-Stars next month.

From Tuesday, November 17 a new game update (version 1.1.0) will allow players to invert the camera controls in all three titles included in the anniversary bundle, it confirmed on Tuesday.

Inverted controls were one of All-Stars’ biggest omissions at launch, especially in GameCube’s Super Mario Sunshine, which flipped its aiming controls from the original release and wouldn’t allow players to change them back.

All-Stars is a limited-time release available until March 2021, featuring remasters of Super Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy.

Super Mario 64 features Joy-Con controls with rumble and improved picture resolution (720p docked and portable), Sunshine features higher-resolution 16:9 visuals (1080p docked, 720p portable), and Galaxy features Joy-Con controls which mimic the original Wii Remote (1080p docked, 720p portable).

In VGC’s Super Mario 3D All-Stars review, our critic expressed some disappointment at the low number of enhancements made to the ports.

“No matter how much we enjoyed revisiting these games – and we had a fantastic time – it’s difficult not to feel slightly disappointed that Nintendo hasn’t done more.

“A rebuilt lighting engine and lavish new character models weren’t necessary for this anniversary project, but some more quality of life improvements would have been welcome.”
