Overview

• Nintendo releases the remastered duo on Oct. 2 for Switch, with a free Switch 2 update enabling higher-resolution output.
• Switch 2 versions run at up to 4K and 60fps in docked mode, and reviewers note the games do not support 120fps.
• Enhancements include Assist Mode that grants extra health and rescues falls, expanded Rosalina storybook content, and a new soundtrack player.
• Pointer-based actions are translated to Joy-Con gyros, Pro Controller recentering, and touch in handheld, though some find star bit and Yoshi mechanics clumsy.
• Pricing is $69.99 for the bundle or $39.99 per game on eShop, drawing value questions even as critics welcome Galaxy 2’s long-awaited modern availability.
