Mario Galaxy Remasters Launch on Switch With 4K on Switch 2

Technical breakdowns emphasize sharper textures and higher resolution on newer hardware alongside unupscaled cutscenes.

Overview

  • Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2 are out now on Nintendo Switch and playable on Switch 2 following the October 2 release.
  • Digital Foundry and comparison videos report TV output at up to 1080p on Switch and native 4K on Switch 2, with handheld at 720p and 1080p respectively.
  • Remasters add high‑resolution textures across environments and clothing, plus longer‑range shadows and improved character detail at a distance.
  • Pre‑rendered cutscenes remain 1080p on all hardware and show compression and occasional color banding.
  • Menus and controls largely mirror the 2020 3D All‑Stars approach, a day‑one update is available, and Galaxy 2 returns after being absent from that collection.
