The two Wii games that inspired the biggest movie of 2026 are on Nintendo’s Black Friday list. Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 gets $20 off starting November 22, Nintendo announced on November 12, 2026.
The Switch collection has a suggested retail price of $69.99, so the deal works out to about $49.99 for both games. According to Nintendo, the boxed discounts run November 22 through November 29 at Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, Target, Walmart and Nintendo’s own stores in New York and San Francisco, while supplies last.
The movie that sent fans back to 2007
The Super Mario Galaxy Movie opened on April 1, 2026, and became the first film of the year to pass $1 billion worldwide. The Numbers puts its total at $1.01 billion, including about $429.8 million in the U.S.
That makes it the second-highest-grossing video game movie ever, behind 2023’s The Super Mario Bros. Movie and its $1.36 billion. It also means a lot of people met Rosalina and her observatory on a movie screen before they ever touched a controller.
Galaxy 2 spent 15 years stuck on the Wii
The games are older than much of that audience. Super Mario Galaxy came out on the Wii on November 12, 2007, and Super Mario Galaxy 2 followed on May 23, 2010.
The first game reached the Switch in 2020 inside Super Mario 3D All-Stars, a collection Nintendo has since pulled from sale. Galaxy 2 had never been on the Switch at all until Nintendo released the pair on October 2, 2025, timed to Mario’s 40th anniversary and the movie’s buildup.
The price was the sore spot. Several gaming outlets questioned charging $70 for two games more than a decade old, and Nintendo still sells each one digitally for $39.99.
What you get for the money
It’s a Nintendo Switch game card, so it plays on the original Switch. On a Switch 2, a free update adds up to 4K resolution on the TV, according to Nintendo’s announcement at launch.
If you’d rather go digital, Nintendo’s eShop sale starts earlier, on November 19, but the company hasn’t said which games are included yet.
If the movie was your first trip to the Galaxy, start with the 2007 game before the sequel.
