I used to love this game when i was younger, and will definitely be purchasing it. I never played the 64 version but im sure ill be wanting to try it on the VC.

I also hope that a Wii version is in the works.

I do actually like the updated graphics on Super Mario All Stars. But I seriouslly doubt that All Stars will be released on the VC. I have my reservations over whether this game will even be on it.

This game is hard, and it all depends whether or not you are the time of gamer who enjoys a challenge, i think most of the people on here who grew up in the 80's are used to that.

I disagree that Super mario 2 USA is harder than this, but I guess it just comes down to the individual. Some people find Sonic 2 harder than Sonic 1.

Have a look on the ESRB website - this game is rated alright but not one for the virtual console. The NES one is rated, thats why i am sceptical.

Does anyone else think this is looking less likely to be released? Japan gets it in May instead we get the USA version.

I'm still hoping Nintendo do decide to release this - i'm pretty sure it would do enough sales to cover the cost of putting it on the virtual console (which would obviouslly cost a lot less than releasing on a cart)

I agree about prefering to own the originals rather than Mario Allstars. I just hope we get Super Mario 2 (Jap) aka the lost levels. Although I can't see that happening any time soon if not at all

Yeah for a second i thought it was going to be the Japanese version, seeing as it was released there this month.

Something tells me we won't ever see that over here, or if we do I reckon they will make us wait for it

I feel the same about this as you Billy. I loved the challenge of this game when i was younger, so i'm praying Nintendo do decide to release it.

I mean it isn't like this game has mountains of text to translate.

I also hope this gets released. It's out in Japan on the 05/01/07. Having looked on the ESRB website I can't actually find it on there, which is pretty worrying, so I am guessing this is just a rumoured release?
