Mario Galaxy + Galaxy 2 on Switch 2: timeless magic, wobbly gyro, and a price that stings

Gravity still sings, but the pointer wobbles: my first nights back among the stars

TL;DR

• Two of the best 3D platformers ever, now sharper: 4K docked on Switch 2, 1080p handheld; Switch holds 60 fps at 720p/1080p
• Controls: best docked with Joy-Con pointer; handheld is fine but fiddly, with touch/gyro compromises
• New bits: small Rosalina storybook chapter, music player for both games, Assistance mode, limited Amiibo support
• Quirks: rare input bug (Mario circles), occasional camera fights on spherical worlds, very Wii-era menus
• Price stings at €69.99 for the pair (€39.99 each), but the games’ brilliance largely wins the argument
• Recommendation: easy yes for newcomers and anyone who missed Galaxy 2; veterans should weigh love vs. wallet
