If this was getting a New Super Mario Bros update, then I'm totally fine with it. If it's just the SNES game, I would have much rather seen it on VC with a premium price tag to correspond with the quanity of games... or... better yet... chop it into three VC games each with SNES price point.
If Nintendo bails on VC I will be one of the most depressed video game fans in the world.
I'd like to to see how it looks, though I suppose the obvious answer would be that it will be running on the same engine as New Super Mario Bros. Wii, so chances are that the remakes will be in the pre-rendered style of that game.
Kytim and Jonny, how is $30 full price?Sorry, I didn't see the price info before I posted. $30 is still not worth it for me, but it makes more sense for the marketplace.
Mario 1: $5
Mario 2: $5
Mario 3: $5
Mario World: $8
Mario Lost levels: $6
=
$29
I already have tons mario songs on my ipod
Maybe if they include mario land 1+2 with updated graphics and music that would be cool.

Quote from: Killer Man JaroI'd like to to see how it looks, though I suppose the obvious answer would be that it will be running on the same engine as New Super Mario Bros. Wii, so chances are that the remakes will be in the pre-rendered style of that game.
That is not at all the obvious answer, and in fact there is no chance these games are being reskinned with 3D visuals at this price point. Also, there is nothing pre-rendered about NSMB Wii. It's all rendered in real-time, including the backgrounds.
It's a shame it's just a port. It'd be neat if it included options for NES, SNES and Wii graphics. It'd be awesome if it included an option to use the NSMBWii engine for multi-player. Imagine playing Super Mario Bros. 2 USA with four players. But then, we're looking at a $50 release instead of a $30 release, I'm sure.There are fan projects for New Super Mario Brothers Wii out there that have already re-created the entirety of the original Super Mario Brothers, as well as a lot of Super Mario World. I believe someone is working on SMB3 as well, though I'm not sure. They are worth checking out if you are interested. Super Mario USA is not possible, of course, since it's a whole different type of game.
hey look, mops a star!!!

maybe they can trick the Wii and run all the old games in 720p.
KDR, where in the catalog is it? I just checked the UK catalog and the only Mario soundtrack I could find was for Super Mario Galaxy.
"Super Mario Collection" is something I'm always on the lookout for my Super Famicom while browsing used games shops here in Japan.
The only cart I ever found was something in the region of 3000 Yen ($30) without a box or manual.
So yeah, now I think about it this isn't such a bad deal, considering the extra stuff you get.
I would however, pay full price for:
-NSMBW graphical updates (optional of course) of these all on one disk with 4-player.
-E-reader levels
-Mario World
-GC/CC/CC-Pro support
See, when they first announced it, that's what I thought they meant. If this is simply a SNES game emulated on Wii... hm, now where have I seen that before? Oh, wait, it's called Virtual Console. The appeal of this package is minimal to me - some may want it for the book and the CD, but that's supplementary stuff at best. I would only consider buying this through download. Not necessarily 800 Points; it's a special occasion and the game is an anthology of 3 NES games, so the premium price of 1500 would be acceptable. That's not happening though, and it's debatable as to whether it will ever show up in the West. If it does not, meh, no big loss.
4 games, and enhanced with SNES and sounds and graphics (along with tons of other improvements over the NES versions). How you thought there was even a chance it would be 1500 (when even the plain NES versions would cost 2100 points, and these are much better). It's OK if you don't want it, but it's pretty cool and worth more than what you are willing to pay.
