Topic: Super Mario Collection discussion thread

@madgear I've tested the PAL version, it starts up without having to switch, works with a component cable and is slightly 'stretched' to reduce the original PAL boarders just like VC SNES games. Super Mario Bros. also at least seems to run at a good speed, 2 and 3 seem a bit slow but I'd have to compare with 60Hz versions to be sure.

Cheers, thanks for clearing that up

@90's Gamer It's necessary to adjust the format in 4:3 mode for avoid to see black strips in 16:9 mode

OK. Just like Resident Evil Archives then (as most people do not know they can stretch the image)...

Thanks

The part about future consoles is not confirmed. I just get the feeling that this is the case because I wanted to buy a red Wii however when I called Nintendo they said they won't transfer my content from my white Wii even if I were to mail them both Wii's. This caught a lot of people by surprise after they traded in their DSi for a DSi XL. They called Nintendo and Nintendo wouldn't give them access to their DSiWare purchases on the new XL. that Issue is well documented on the Nintendo tech forum. At least with the disc I can take the disc to a friends house and play it. And if the next console is backwards compatible with the Wii like the Wii is to the Gamecube then I can play the All-Stars disc in that console Like the Gamecube games in the Wii. Nintendo blatantly refuses to transfer DLC unless it is a repair to a console they cannot fix.

Just while you guys are a little off topic.

Nintendo have confirmed that you can send your downloaded DSiWare titles to the new 3DS. I would assume this is the same for the Wii to the unconfirmed Wii 2. This is just an assumption, but it would be silly to have double standards when it comes to this, considering Nintendo are trying hard to get this on-line thing right.

Is all stars out sunday?

Yes

And US has the better box...

it is

this is 10 million times better than vc although i already have smb3

i bought all four awhile ago. you what that does to my self esteem?

I'm still getting the Super Mario Collection though.

I thought the European version would have been reviewed here by now.

I'm embarassed for Nintendo on this port...that's what it is, the same game years later on the wii. It's nothing more than the Super NES remake sold for $30. To help justify the cost, they threw in some deluxe packaging: a nice box, a soundtrack CD, and a book chronicling Mario's history. These "fluff" items are hardly worth the extra money, they are cheap selling points that Nintendo knows hardcore fans will goggle up, and packaged with the zero-effort port of an old compilation of even older games.

They could have included all the remakes from All Stars for the SNES as well as the original NES versions, as well as Super Mario Land, Super Mario World 1 and 2, and Mario 64...then it might be worth it.

Pretty much everyone has been saying this since they announced SMAS on the Wii. Nintendo is lazy, and they know that us Nintendofreaks will buy damn near anything with the word Mario on it, even though most of us have these games at least once (I have them 3x each, yet I still bought two copies of this game. lol.
It would have been awesome if they made a collection of all the Mario games ever made (main Mario titles, not Mario Kart or Mario Party), with the exception of SMG and SMG2. This would have been an amazing collection, and I don't believe it would cut into their other sales, as all of the games are at least 1 generation old.
Maybe for Mario's 30th anniversary, but I highly doubt it.

Nintendo silently up-sold me. I was only there to finally pick up Donkey Kong Country, and I see this on the shelf, pleading to be taken along. I couldn't insult Mario by only picking up his enemy's new game.

Still cheaper then a new copy of All Stars.

I already got the collection on release day, the japanese version of the Super Famicon super mario all-stars (known as super mario collection), and the original carts of all the games for the NES.

IMO, and probably said before, Nintendo should have made a new all stars. Slap the NSMBWii graphics and physics (though I bet some will disagree with that bit ) on the four games, and sell that.

I probably said this before too, It would be too big to fit.

Too big to fit?

• New Super Mario Bros. Wii is 350 MB.
• A Wii disc is 4100MB.
• There's 3750 MB left (empty space) on New Super Mario Bros. Wii's disc.
• New Super Mario Bros. Wii could fit on a Gamecube disc (1.4 GB) = four times.
• New Super Mario Bros. Wii could even fit twice on a PSone disc.
• A "New Super Mario All-Stars Wii" with new flashy New Super Mario Bros. Wii-graphics would fit on a Wii disc even if it were accompanied by 1 hour of high quality fmv.

Wtf I didn't know New Super Mario Bros, Wii was that small... HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! MY WORMS ARMAGEDDON IS 500 MB!
