Who\u2019s ready for a vacation to the tropical Isle Delfino where the breeze is cool and the plaza\u2019s always dirty? Super Mario Sunshine is coming to Switch 2 for Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers on August 13. Discover where it all started going wrong for 3D games<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The GameCube classic is one of the more controversial entries in the Nintendo franchise. It ditched more straightforward platforming sandboxes for environmental puzzles that revolved around spraying water at messes to clean them up. The water gun was named FLUDD and, of course, it talked. In retrospect, it\u2019s easy to see the seeds of both Super Mario Odyssey and Splatoon. Also the annoying talking flower from Super Mario Wonder.<\/p>\n

Nintendo\u2019s tease for the game\u2019s arrival doesn\u2019t show gameplay, but other additions to the GameCube library (which remains exclusive to Switch 2) have included improvements like better resolutions<\/a>. It would be odd if Super Mario Sunshine didn\u2019t get a similar treatment, especially considering there\u2019s technically a remastered version of it you can already play on Switch via the now-defunct Super Mario 3D All-Stars collection.<\/p>\n

Some fans will be satisfied with finally getting to play one of the series most underrated entries on Nintendo\u2019s newest hardware, while others might prefer the company to release a full-on remake at some point. Then again, nothing\u2019s ever stopped Nintendo from double-dipping in the past. Mario Sunshine will bring the GameCube collection on Switch Online up to 10 games. Pok\u00e9mon Colosseum<\/a> has also been confirmed, but still doesn\u2019t have a release date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Who\u2019s ready for a vacation to the tropical Isle Delfino where the breeze is cool and the plaza\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":795279,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[6881,1299,187778,4663,74],"class_list":["post-795278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-gamecube","tag-nintendo","tag-super-mario-sunshine","tag-switch-2","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795278","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=795278"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/795278\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/795279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=795278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=795278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=795278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
