Overview

• Both games are out now on Nintendo Switch and playable on Switch 2, with the original hardware targeting up to 1080p and Switch 2 reaching 4K in docked play.
• Handheld resolutions land at 720p on Switch and 1080p on Switch 2, according to technical comparisons.
• New high-resolution textures and cleaner distant detail modernize the look, though some reviewers note a few flatter-looking surfaces versus the Wii originals.
• Pre-rendered cutscenes remain capped at 1080p on all hardware and can show compression and color banding.
• Nintendo added extra Storybook chapters and an optional Assist Mode that doubles Mario’s health and offers recovery help, and a day-one update is available.
