"Who says South Africa gets left out when it comes to great videogame content? Nay not I, and with the news that the country is set to receive ‘Super Mario All-Stars – 25th Anniversary Edition’ for the Wii in December, nay not you either!
Wipe the sleep from your eyes, do that double-take, pinch yourself and forcefully eject whatever is in your mouth right now, because it was recently announced that South African gamers, too, will be able to get their hands on the classic Mario game collection, which includes Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, all on one disk."
Remaking video games is not a new trend, but it is more popular than ever. Which are the best video game remakes of all time?
Where's the 2D love? Like Strider and Bionic Commando Rearmed? Some of my personal Remake favorites.
For a 90s video game remake I would put QUAKE 2 at the top. Nightdive did a amazing job . And Machine Games added awesome new content.
Dead Space over Mario All-Stars, esp since All-Stars was just a graphical upgrade. Otherwise.....can't quibble much with that list.
Custom-themed, limited edition consoles weren’t really a thing back in the day of the SNES and the Genesis, so it’s up to a dedicated few to set things right. Zoki64 picked Super Mario World, the most obvious choice for his custom SNES.
The super famicom looked way better than the boxy snes in the states.. This is a really nice console.. All super famicoms look nice though..
This is the kind of effort the big 3 need, when making limited/special console bundles!
i love the controls ;D man the D pad would tear my thumb up but so worth the memories
hmmm.... i prefer the vanilla version of the european SNES
( which is basically the same design as the Super Famicom )
this looks a bit too colorful for my tastes but each to his own.
It's Super Mario Week at Review Crew, which means that we'll spend the next three episodes looking at old school games starring Nintendo's favorite Italian plumber. Up first it's Super Mario All-Stars, a compilation featuring upgraded versions of Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3 and The Lost Levels. Did critics love this 16-bit collection of 8-bit games, or did they view this as a cynical cash grab from Nintendo? We turn to Electronic Gaming Monthly, Nintendo Magazine System, SNES Force, Die Hard Game Fan and other classic magazines for the answer.
I strangely prefer the 8 bit versions than the 16 bit. Might be nostalgia factor.
Mario 3 on the NES, SNES versions looked a not to clean and rent a mario, prefer them in their original forms, still played it, who didn't but I'd take the original games in this case every time.they were great in the first place, some things don't need constant tweaking, George Lucas I'm looking at you, the fact he put new Anakin at the end of Return of The Jedi was outrageous, little of topic but hey ho, as you were.
