Nah, Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy are all in the contest already, and I don't think the new game changes anything about them too dramatically.
Not to mention SM3DA is a poor and utterly lazy collection.
I would say it's a very good lazy collection.
The games themselves are good. The presentation and effort is bad.
Nintendo don't deserve credit for simply dumping three roms on a cart and running them in HD/16:9. They also don't deserve credit for charging $60 or releasing it for a limited run of 6 months, even digitally wtf.

I agree with all that, just to me a bad collection would be games that were not well optimized or didn't play well in the collection. These games all play and control great. I also like the presentation - the little graphics as a game loads, the classy font on the main menu.

It's just so barebones. No wide screen in 64 is a bummer, and no galaxy 2 is a bummer. Would have also been nice for them to adjust the way blue coins work in sunshine and other QOL stuff.

Wait, WTF? Why wasn't The Talos Principle already nominated? It must have been in one of the user-submitted subcategories last time.
