[quote name='elwood731']You're right that it is a crappy version because it's the original NES version, and neither the arcade version nor the updated GBA version. Now, Super Mario Bros. on the other hand...who knows which version we will get? The original NES version, the SNES All-Stars version, or the GB Color DX version which I think had even more changes! Yeesh.[/quote]
My money's on the original version.
The GBA version possibly as well.
The GBC version had a retooled resolution to compensate for the square screen. The GBA did as well, but less so. All-Stars? That suckers going into a closet and will never be seen again. Much as we may want it, Nintendo is losing $20 in VC sales to sell you 4 games one time for $8.
I think it's a cruel joke that everytime I buy a game on the VC, Mario runs by.
I want to cry out, "Mario waittaminit! Buddy! Why don't you come back and stick around for awhile..." I even stuck my R.O.B. next to the Wii to coax Mario into staying a bit longer...
