Continuing to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros., Nintendo has announced that Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition for Wii will land on December 12, 2010. I know that many of you have bought these games five times over, but this $29.99 set will tempt you to buy them again. Here are the contents of the compilation as per the press release:
The games included in the Super Mario All-Stars collection are Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3. Each game features the enhanced graphics and updated sound from the Super NES Super Mario All-Stars collection, and all four can be played on the Wii system using one of several controllers: the Wii Remote controller, Classic Controller, Classic Controller Pro or the Nintendo GameCube controller.
Also included is a Super Mario History soundtrack CD, a compilation of memorable music from the Mario franchise. Containing classic theme songs and fun sound effects from the original Super Mario Bros. game all the way up to this year’s acclaimed Super Mario Galaxy 2 game, this special disc also marks the first official release of the “Super Mario Bros. Ground Theme,” widely recognized as one of the most famous pieces of video game music in history.
Rounding out the Super Mario All-Stars collection is a 32-page Super Mario History booklet featuring interviews, behind-the-scenes details and rare concept art. Fans from every generation can enjoy firsthand insights into the beginnings of Mario, illustrated with candid photos and never-before-seen design sketches. Together with the game software and soundtrack, it’s the ultimate tribute to a unique game series.
I’m going to enjoy playing these games again, but I’m super looking forward to the CD and booklet. Any of you interested in this package? Or are you through buying the same Nintendo games multiple times?
I think I saw the Japanese version of this announced somewhere a while ago, but it does look cool. Unfortunately I don't have a Wii…so I'm not as tempted by these things.
i'm getting it. the cd, poster and history booklet is worth 29.99 to me on their own! i love Mario!
If I had a Wii I would have this game.
My brothers have a Wii at their place I'm going to get it for them.
I'm buying this. In fact the soundtrack is the big draw for me. Currently I'm using "Inside the Castle Walls" for my ringtone. YouTube it, it's from Mario64
