Never played it before. Really enjoying it. The world feels similar to Mario Kart.
Oh man, I wish I could play Galaxy for the first time again. So creative and pure.

Just pre-ordered this, and got Super Mario 3D All-Stars as well.
This is a limited time thing, isn't it?

No. All Stars is.

Which is worth picking up for Galaxy alone.

We have All-Stars. I just don't have a kid's birthday coming up, so I wanted to know if I needed to pick up 3D World right now, or if it can wait.

I just started Galaxy yesterday. Is it better with the joycons or pro controller?
I found it a little frustrating at first having very little control over the camera in a 3D game. As the levels get bigger in scope though it's becoming less of a nuisance.

This is how I would rank the controller options:
1. Split Joycons (how the game was originally designed to be played)
2. Pro Controller (pointer controls work remarkably well though re-centering can be sort of a pain)
3. Handheld

Thanks. I've been using the pro controller but i'll give the split joycons a go.

Playing Galaxy on the Switch with the handheld is such a miserable gaming experience.

Only done handheld so far. Been ok, a few frustrating moments.

I'm still amazed how good Galaxy looks on a giant TV. They just increased the resolution and the 13 year old game still looks great.

Started Super Mario 3D World on the Switch now. Looking good so far.
