Gaming Trend - One of the best features of the Wii is the ability to purchase and play classic games from classic systems. For some of us, that means revisiting old favorites from our youth. For others, it introduces them to old games that they might not have ever been able to play because of the availability of the old NES and other systems.
SuperPhillip Central writes, "Fresh off the news of Pokemon Ruby and Sapphire remakes for the Nintendo 3DS, we thought we'd take the opportunity to dust off our brains and come up with some of our favorite video game remakes ever devised. These are the ones that made the originals look like student projects in comparison. Whether they updated the visuals, added cool new modes, or threw in extra playable characters, these are the remakes that get our hearts racing with excitement. Now, we don't want to overwhelm you with entries, so we're splitting up this feature into three parts. The other two will arrive on SuperPhillip Central in the following weeks."
A review of the Mario All Stars Wii edition, including why it has been much approved over the classic while retaining the same feel fans love.
"How many hours have Wii owners spent playing Super Mario All-Stars: Limited Edition, with 93 days of game-play reported since it released(the first time)? Let's take a look!", says CoffeewithGames.
If you purchased this, do you think the "Limited Edition" is worth the $29.99, or should gamers that haven't picked it up, pass on this until perhaps another Mario "Limited Edition" is released in the future?
well from a personal standpoint i definitely think it was worth it. i do feel slightly cheated as i think they could have easily added super mario world for no additional charge but overall im still happy with the purchase. you get mario 1-3 and lost levels with updated vibrant colors (everything is more distinct and easy to see) and enhanced sound. Also comes packaged with a music cd and a mario history artbook.
all that aside what i also really liked was the fact that you can play with all controllers including the gamecube controller if you want. playing old school mario with the wiimote held sideways though just feel "right" if you know what i mean. But yah, if you already own copies through the virtual console, gameboy, or nes it might not be worth it. I was gonna buy each one individually anyways so im more than happy with my purchase.
I purchased this and while I think the packaging is nice, I've played these games hundreds of times. I would've really loved Super Mario World to be in this package.
" Is it a WoW killer? No, but god damn it is a whole lot of fun"
For some reason that statement doesn't justify the 7.5 they give it. Whatever, i feel like a little kid playing with my He-Man and Thundercats again when i play this game.
