Super Mario All Stars - New Print Run Shipping in March

I want this game too. I wouldn't mind the new red Wii either, but only if they announce a way to transfer WiiWare/VC to a new Wii, like they've said will be possible from DSi to 3DS. Seems like they could make it happen if they really wanted to.
 
[quote name='spmahn']If anyone really wants this and doesn't feel it will come out here or doesn't want to wait, it's available for pre-order at NCSX for ~$40, which isn't too pricy, and about in line with what we'll pay if / when it comes out[/QUOTE]

NCSX ? i'm guessing that is a European site ? If so, whats the total cost to ship it to the states, and will it work with American wii systems?

The European version of the Mario 25th Anniversary Wii has been announced. It will include a red Wii, a red Wiimote+, Wii Sports, New Super Mario Bros. Wii, and the installed game will be Donkey Kong: Original Edition (Presumably the arcade DK).[/QUOTE]

2 regions, one more to go. Come on America! If this doesn't come to the U.S I'll be disappointed.

NCSX is located in New York. Japanese Wii games do not run on US systems without mods.

I'd kind of like a NA release of the Mario Wii but the lack of transferring Wiiware/VC titles would limit the usefulness for me. If I got a Japanese Wii, I'd at least have access to Japanese downloaded titles and Japanese retail games. NOA should work on some kind of transfer kit to allow people to upgrade to a Mario Wii.
 
Both systems look like something Nintendo of America would release as Black Friday bundles. We'll see what they do this year, hopefully it will be something good.

Although you are probably right, I hope not. Black Friday crowds = staying home. Last year did all my shopping on Amazon and they pretty much pricematched everything going on in Best Buy, Target, etc. If it is a Black Friday thing, hopefully it's not a Wal-Mart exclusive, etc. I'd like to get it on Amazon.
 
That's crazy-underwhelming.


I should have kept my NES GBA-SP.

Still hope this gets a release in the U.S., and I'd REALLY love more games to get this treatement. So disapointed the NES series on the GBA was so limited. Heck, first I bought that scanner thing, hoping there'd be a ton more games, which there weren't. Then I hoped we'd see a bunch more in the cartridge NES series, and still, SO FEW classics get released. When we're having to hope the already-finished Super Mario Bros. series comes out...
 
If NOA does not bring this, I have four fuck you's for them this year:

1) Failing to bring Zangeki no Reginleiv Stateside, which I just imported (S&H) and paid $80. So at least I can play that now. I didn't expect it out of Japan honestly but it was worth hoping for. They still get a fuck you for it though lol

2) Failing to bring Xenoblade Stateside, which I'll give them a little more time to announce it before I begin importing it too. They better not disappoint me with this one, no fucking excuse.

3) Failing to bring the motherfucking Super Mario Collection Stateside, when both Europe and Japan are getting it. They got some time to fix this though and I'm very hopeful!

4) No Last Window for America? They get another fuck you, I have to import from Europe now.

Nintendo as a whole is making me a pretty happy gamer but NOA in particular is sucking hardcore lately.

NOA's big thing is if it's not guaranteed 500k in sales then they won't bother. Look at Tingle, Starfy, Fire Emblem, Earthbound/Mother, Magical Star Sign, etc. All released but not supported or advertised very well, what happened, sales tanked, then that gives them an excuse to not release follow up games or others from the same companies, because they cite lack of sales / interest by the buying public.

We should all be shocked we got Sin and Punishment 2 here, since it goes against this policy. But yeah I had to import Disaster and pissed me off since it SHOULD have been released here. I see Xenoblade and The Last Story coming to the US, since Nintendo needs some big gun RPGs for the Wii (like Baten Kaitos and Tales of Symphonia for GC)

The only thing that could stop that is the restructuring internally in the company lately with the marketing dept. getting shoved to NY and then loosing Cammie here recently (not that, that can't be construed as a good thing though ;) ) but if Reggie and Iwata are all about the games, then the chances are pretty good for those two in particular.

Something like Another Code R, well the sales tanked, and that falls into the trap I mentioned earlier. If people bitch enough, we'll get the Mario Collection I think they're just deciding what to do with it right now, or how much they can gouge out of people for it...:whistle2:# Since they know there is demand. (See the GC Zelda Collections)

Zangeki no Reginleiv looks cool (just watched the trailer) but again it falls into three issues for them. 1) It'd be M-rated, which reminds them of Conker's BFD 2) Niche game, SotC meets Dynasty Warriors 3) Sales...the almighty sales. So yeah, seriously don't see this happening, unless a miracle occurs.

3rd parties are shying away from localizing anything new for the Wii without sales potential since they aren't making said sales on it anymore, this is fact, just look at the dismal quality of 3rd party releases for the system in the past year.

The only thing that will help the Wii in the US is Nintendo giving it one last push before a successor console is named in the future. Depending on how bad the Wii is tanking after the 3DS release next Spring will determine what they do for Rolvphiin :lol: or whatever they call the next system and how soon it is going to be released either 2011-2012 or 2013 at the latest, and I predict no later than that.

It's at the 5 year mark next year, and Nintendo knows that Wii won't last 10 years like the competition, a little lack of foresight on their part for everything they've done right so far. Also one thing that stings for me (and all of us in the US) is the free trade agreement in Europe due to the European Union, is it any big shocker that niche games seem to flow like water over there?

That's because if any company (like Rising Star and other niche publishers) want to release the title over there, they can with no major issues from Nintendo, Sony, or MS. I noticed this when I was trying to find out why Europe got so many cool Shmups and Suda 51 games not released over here. They can make many of the deals and publish games over there that their US counterparts can't do because of refusal by the main body. (See Working Designs vs. Sony for more info)

So I'm with you in your complaints, I think Nintendo needs to ween itself off of Mario, Zelda and Pokemon (Metroid used to be a factor, but not so much in recent years) for as much as those games sell systems, people are bemoaning their lack of creativity and uniqueness after 25 years. And as I always say, whats going to happen to them when Miyamoto retires or dies? Think about that...(or even a lot of their designers are pushing late 50's now, when the retiring exodus happens, that won't be good for Nintendo at all)

I remembering reading about there being extra docs never seen before by the public. Here they are.

Still sad there hasn't been an announcement :cry:. I want to write a letter to Reggie or NOA even though it won't do much. Just for posterity. It would great not having to import. But at least there's a European version in English ready to go if need be. :D
 
[quote name='Demolition Man']Its not a matter of if but a matter of when Nintendo will release this here.[/QUOTE]

15 years ago you would be correct sir, but Nintendo of 2010 makes decisions that are neither sensible nor rational.
 
I don't understand why they wouldn't release this here. Its getting the English language add for Europe and this is fucking Mario we are talking about so it sell here just like everything with Mario on the cover.
 
[quote name='spmahn']15 years ago you would be correct sir, but Nintendo of 2010 makes decisions that are neither sensible nor rational.[/QUOTE]

Its Mario. Nintendo knows Mario will sell. So of course they'll release it here. Maybe not this holiday season but I can forsee a release around early 2011.
 
Is it wrong of me to suspect that Nintendo of America is just holding this back from us until they can figure exactly how they can possibly force us to pay the most amount of money possible for it?
 
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I guess NOA wants to make money this year, go figure. :p I'll be pre-ordering from Amazon as soon as its allowed lol :p
 
Looks like this is going to be a limited print run. Better get it ASAP instead of waiting for sales and missing out.

Could this be a only retail Wii game that will require a classic controller? I don't see how anyone can play Super Mario World without it.

This collection doesn't include Super Mario World.

Yeah, I remember the last time I did that, Metroid Prime Trilogy went OOP. Not making that mistake twice, I went and put down my pre-order for it via Amazon today. :D
