    @therawski It's not just the same stuff. It's the same games, all with better graphics, AND a CD with never before officially released music, AND an art book. For $30. I believe I left the fizzy lifting drinks untouched actually.

    Yes, i will buy this. I want the music CD.

    BUT I LIKE LUIGI MORE. This is necessary if I have that SNES cart, right? $30 is a lot for a CD and booklet. reCAPTCHA: ungracious EAD WHAT. Nintendo is on to me...

    Unexpected review, but a good one nonetheless.

    I was talking to the manager I'm close with at Gamestop today. She said that they are only getting shipments for their pre-orders only and none after that. So take that how you will.

    The Mario fanboy in me demands this!

    lol it wouldn't even be 8 megs it'd be more like 3. But looks worth it for the collectors mainly just for the behind the scenes stuff, other than that just use an emulator.

    Got this a week ago (UK got it earlier) and although I thought it could've been bigger and not just a straight copy of the SNES game, it's still very good. My mum didn't understand why I got it, as I have SMB, SMB2, SMB3 all on my NES which still works (and 1 & 3 on virtual console) it's just because now they're all together. Also I'm thanking god for the ability to save! I could never get all that far on SMB2 but now I can because I don't have to restart. Plus the CD makes a nice addition to my iPod (well the songs and one or two SFX)

    Do want!

    Nintendo has the balls to sell you the same shit over and over again and it's not even a complete collection so... NOTHING, YOU LOSE, GOOD DAY SIR! (just emulate the versions you already own with save states and more!)

    I definitely think it's worth $30, but I still have the original SNES Allstars in the box. I don't plan on getting this. Also, Peach sucks.

    "Furthermore, why only four games on the disc when you could fit every 2D Mario game (or you know, every NES/SNES game period) on one DVD?" And the 3D ones? (Before Galaxy)

    I got it a week ago (lol release dates) and I'd give it a 9. It really is absolutely brilliant, and I don't care that it's unchanged from the original, but maybe that's because I'm a massive fanboy.

    I can't wait till SUNDAY! Looks like this Sunday won't be lazy so I won't have to call Parnell in the late afternoon to see how he's doing....

  • InsertChrisAntistaJokeHere - December 11, 2010 12:06 a.m.

    Epic!

    Oh man, perfect holiday gift for old-school gamer friends
