Favis additionally brought up the lack of a [[Virtual Console]] service on Nintendo Switch, compounding the issue some fans had with the limited release (though ''Super Mario 64'' was later additionally made available on the console through [[Nintendo 64 - Nintendo Switch Online]]). Alexandra Sakellariou from ''Screen Rant'' asserted the reason [[Nintendo]] made the game limited release boiled down to potential profits from it being labeled as an "anniversary release," and worried about whether future releases would adopt a similar pattern if this sales tactic ends up succeeding. | |||

On the mixed side, Riley Little from | On the mixed side, Riley Little from Screen Rant has given the game a 3.5/5, stating that while the games are worth owning for the Nintendo Switch, for players who want to experience the ''Super Mario'' titles again or for new players, they are not exactly a bargain deal either.<ref>Little, Riley.

He opined that ''Super Mario 64'' is the weakest game of the trio due to how many times the game was rereleased, that the compilation was more about preservation than improvement, and that ''Super Mario 64'' is inferior to its Virtual Console release due to the lack of save states and a digital manual. | ||
