@Ryno: The SNES Allstars and the Wii Allstars are pretty much the same. Did they even have a non players choice box for Super Mario World? I though before that it was included with the SNES.

I've beaten Gaiden I-III, and III: The Ancient Ship of Doom like I've same numerous times makes the other two Gaiden's at least i found a walk in MCDonalds Rainbow chicken nugget Park. Limmited continues play a role obviously, but the game is just relentless towards the end especially. You need 2x the Ninja turtle skills to beat this devilishly tough bad boy. I still can't believe i ended up taking out the final boss with one tiny trinket of life, it was one of the best "OH MY F***ING GOD!" gaming moments of my life. Never have i felt that much intensity in a videogame! Well, there was the final Boss(that i still can't beat) in Blaster Master. All in all, it was a jolt to the radical shell shock system if you will and it's another constant reminder how wimpy and easy most games are today. I miss these REAL challenges, as to why I always prefer opting for a new Retro experience over modern.
As far as the original Gaiden goes, I HATE how if you lose to Ryu's Father you have to start 2 or 3 levels behind but that's still a god send than having to start back at the beginning once you run out of the lives in Gaiden III.
Did any one also pronounce 'Gaiden' wrong back in the day? I always blurped it out as GAY-den rather than GI-den.
@WaveGaiden Remember that fight for your attention between April O'Neil and Irene Lew in Videoland?
I haven't got around to NG II & III but I finally Hayabusa'd my way through then end of Ninja Gaiden. It's nice to finally have beat one of my favorite games. Does II make you restart the previous level if you lose to the last boss? It's a Bloody Malth pain but it definitely makes you become pretty good at that last level. Yes, I used to pronounce it Gay-den. I know III is going to takesome serious Ninja skills.
To blessed to be stressed.

Yep, I know All Stars for the Wii and SNES is the same though I would still like the SNES All Stars copy too with World for my collection because Luigi has his own sprite in that game. I have seen the non-players choice boxes of Super Mario World on Ebay so they at least released it for awhile.

I guess it depends on why you collect games in the first place. I personally collect games so I can play them. It doesn't matter if I have the box and the booklet. However, I picked up TMNT 2 and Double Dragon 2 for a combined 7 bucks, CIB, and TMNT 2 came with a Pizza Hut coupon and DD2 came with a full poster and it does feel...better? I don't know, I just know I like it.
I'm a musical gear junkie. I tend to collect higher end stuff, but I know someone who would rather have quantity over quality. The same could be said for collecting games. WaveBoy wants the total package and the value it may bring, whereas I just want to play the games. We collect in different ways, but we agree that retro games are awesome
So you heard that the American version of Ninja Gaiden III is hard because Temco felt players wanted it that way. Ryu takes double damage from everything, and they removed the password feature from the Japanese version and limited Continues.
@WaveBoy yeah i only play old games, the only time i turn on the wii is for virtual console. i was just under the impression that some of you are missing out on some games because if the cart is rare or expensive so is the box. yes my collection is pretty massive and yer right, i have enough old games to keep me busy for the rest of my life lol. i still need a few more to go however. i have a ps2 which i use for ps1 games and ps2 games. since its the more modern of my collection im pretty picky about those games. the newest game i have was downloading Castlevania Rebirth.

@WaveBoy - Yeah, it was a good deal. This was in 1999 I believe, and my local video game store was selling all of their NES games and they had everything CIB. If I was an adult back then, I would have bought the whole lot because they had tons of games, many incredibly rare.
Note: Those games I bought were in perfect condition. The boxes have very little wear on them.
@WaveBoy little samson was one of the very last nes games put out. dont wait too long if yer going to buy it. theres hardly ever any on ebay and the price just goes higher and higher. its a grail in any collectors collection. prices for games like that have more than doubled in the last year and a half.

@Waveboy: IMO Ducktales 2 and Chip N Dale 2 were no where near as good as the first ones. The only reason really that are so high is cause they came out late in the end of the NES era. For me though they just didnt have the charm that the first ones did.

I have Chip 'n Dale 2 because I lucked out and won it for about $10 a few years ago, DuckTales 2 I imported a Famicom cart. Looks like DT2 FC still shouldn't be more than $25 shipped (which if you want to play is still a lot better price than NES. You don't really need to be able to read, I don't think? and unless the GB version has spiked lately it should only be a few bucks if you want a cheap way to play the game.
