It's hard to know what is a fair rating for a collection like this. While Super Mario 64 is showing it's age a little bit, and Sunshine still has those blue coins, they're still fun games to play and come bundled with Galaxy, probably Mario's best outing overall. They're quality games.
On the flipside, how they've been bundled is incredibly barebones - Galaxy has probably had the most work done allowing for players not to have to use motion controls in some play style (but annoyingly not others), but that's about it. There's a resolution bump and full soundtracks are included but these games are almost as they were when they released and that's incredibly disappointing for a re-release bundle in a world where something like Rare Replay or the N.Sane Trilogy exist.
Maybe chucking the All-Stars brand on it wasn't the smartest move, a collection that included revamped looks for all NES games, along with a game that had never been released outside of Japan before at that point as it increases expectations. But then again given the sales, maybe it was the smartest move...
