it's a bit of a tangent on this story, but it's been super disappointing that the wii/gc emulation layers they built for the mario collection hasn't really materialized in anything else. I feel crazy for thinking we would start getting ports of gc/wii games that feel lost to time
FWIW I believe Mario Galaxy was recompiled for Switch with only some parts being handled via emulation, so it likely isn't just a broad drop-in solution for any game. Though I do wonder if they did something similar for Pikmin and Metroid Prime
