It's been on their website since that Nintendo Direct when they announced that it is going to come, but until we have a date I'm not going to get excited.
What's the deal with that. They are announcing a Virtual console game that most of us own in several forms way in advance why not just give it to us?

FINALY
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR AGES!
hands down best mario game ever!!

How can you say finally? We have No Clue when it's coming. It could legitimately be 2014

Are people really excited over the slow ass rererererelease of the same games over and over again?

And it will probably cost $5.99 to top it all off.

I'm buying it on the only platform NES games *should* be on until crossbuy comes in for a buck, I dunno what the concern is.

Nintendo really needs to step up their game and release all the quality titles on the eShop.

if it was a 3d classic i would buy it for sure.

Who cares, the better mario game is already on VC for Wii U

As this is my favourite game of all time, it is a goal of mine to own every version and rerelease of this game. Needless to say, I will be downloading this for both platforms.

It's probably my favourite game too, and yes I will buy it on every platform it is ever released on. It is the only game with which I do that though. With most other games playing through them once is enough.
