Mario All Stars Wii could have been a lot more...

It seems like Mario's 25th anniversary would call for a little more than a quick cash in.

They could have...

included the bonus content from the GBA ports,

updated the graphics,

orchestrated the music,

updated the multiplayer,

added a level editor that allows players to create levels and release them online,

included updated versions of the original Gameboy games,

the list goes on.

I mean I'm not surprised that Nintendo didn't do any of this stuff but I think this package could have been something truly special if they had.

They should have just done a brand new all stars 25th anniversary edition with those games plus world with NSMB wii graphics!

That would have been cool and more reasonable.

Very true. Also mario editing on this site is amazing:http://www.pouetpu-games.com/index.php?section=4

I used to go there all the time until they removed the comments. Unfortunately it's populated by tweens. :| HML.

I really can care less about updated graphics. I just wish it contained more titles in it.

They should have added Yoshis Island and the 2 Mario Land games along with World.

about the only thing u are right about is including more games. Everything about allstars is great...they wanted to preserve the original games...and they do have updated graphics...but they should have put in the Super Mario Land games, Super mario world, etc...Outside that, it is a good deal considering it is $20 of VC on a disc. i will be getting it, but it was sold out everywhere i went last couple weeks.da_chub

It could have been alot more in terms of game content; they could have at least thrown in Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and Super Mario 64.

It seems to me that Nintendo just took the SNES version and threw in some collectibles. A milking attempt, perhaps?

I still have the original cart of Mario All-Stars for my SNES and after hearing how it's just more or less a direct port I'd rather avoid the Wii game at all costs. It's more a game for the late 90's generation of kids who grew up purely on Mario 64 and beyond IMO.

Yeah, wasn't there a SNES cart with both All Stars and World? Good to know Ninty chooses to fit less on a massive DVD then on a tiny cart.....

Also, anyone read the booklet with it's "insightful comments"? Shigsy talking about the Mario's first yet still amazing 3D adventure, Mario 64: "Mario runs around like a hamster. In fact, I had a hamster around this time" :P

Then it'd probably be like 40-50 bucks. Would you have rather paid that?

$40-$50 would be a steal for a proper compilation like that.

As it is, $30 is a rip-off for the actual compilation that we got.

So yeah, I'd rather pay the higher price for the better package.

I didn't know there was a port of All-Stars to the Wii. Part of me wants to get it, but then, reading comments suggests that I don't. Is it really worth it?Rocky_MacIntosh

Yeah, Nintendo was really lazy on this.

Are you guys kidding me? everyone i know complains about it being so lame.

Lazy? they've been dissapointing since 2009.

more of the same,more of the same...Super Mario won't offer anything new untill Wii 2.

It could have so much more,indeed...

Lazy? they've been dissapointing since 2009.GreekGameManiac

whatever dude.

Yeah, Nintendo was really lazy on this.

What's worse is that regardless, people still buy it.

THE Wiifan001 will analyze this. Super Mario Bros 1, 2, and 3, all 500 points. Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels at 600 points. Super Mario World at 800 500 + 500 + 500 + 600 + 800 = 2900 wii points. 2900 wii points = $29 (In america) Now take that to where all games are upped to 16 bit on one disc. You also get a soundtrack and a book for $30. THAT'S ONE $ MORE! wiifan001

Super Mario World isn't on the disc, though.

ok let me do this for ya

super mario bros 1-5 dollars

super mario bros 2 5 dollars/500 points

super mario bros lost levels 600 points/6

smb 3- 500

15 plus 6=21.00 dollars keep in mind youll have to buy at least 2 points cards ---to get 21 points,

-40 dollars your left with unused points might you want somthing else or not

-add the cd you got with the soundtrack if they sold it in stores it be probably 5 more to 9 dollars

bringing your total to 30 plus tax

oh lets not forget these are snes versions

they could have just thrown all 4 sepearetelly at 800 points each

8x 4 =36

so either way, your getting what you pay for

ne 1 saying it could be more, wrong

personally as i have all those games yall are tossing upalready on ds and n64 and vc

--- theres no need for them ,

get mario 64 for vc world for vc the only one missing is world 2 , -find that cheap for snes lol

and there

you go

buy this for 30

buy mario 64 for 10

buy smw for 8

thats only 48 bucks

theres nothing they could change for 64 mario or world as it would be the same looks and everything ,

if they changed mario 64 they could just redo the whole game and release it as a standalone wii game

but you wouldnt want that either i suppose 50 bucks is to steap for you,

THE Wiifan001 will analyze this.

Super Mario Bros 1, 2, and 3, all 500 points.
Super Mario Bros The Lost Levels at 600 points.
Super Mario World at 800

500 + 500 + 500 + 600 + 800 = 2900 wii points. 2900 wii points = $29 (In america)

Now take that to where all games are upped to 16 bit on one disc. You also get a soundtrack and a book for $30. THAT'S ONE $ MORE! wiifan001

You're looking at it all wrong.

How much would it have cost if they just put SMBAS on VC? 800 points for a SNES game, is it?

800 points is £5.60 (in England).

The 25th Anniversary Wii All-Stars has an RRP of £25 in England! That's over four times the cost of a SNES download from Virtual Console! Four times the cost and they didn't even have the decency to include Mario World or 64.

Yeah, thanks Nintendo. Thanks a lot.

It is lazy pure and simple. When you have the metroid prime trilogy collection debuting at $50 with all 3 games. They added the wiimote controls to the first 2 games plus achievements and tweaked the second game so it wasn't so hard. The collection obviously costs more now, but makes the mario collection a joke. The soundtrack only consists of 20 tracks and half of those are sound effects. At the end of the day, it is a crappy collection. If Nintendo would have included all of Mario's adventure games, it would have been worth it. Mario bros 1-3, Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Mario 64, and Mario Sunshine, then it might have been worth it. Nintendo needs to mark down the VC prices. 5 dollars for mario 1 is too expensive. When other companies sell collections for $20 and those include 8 games or more. I fail to see the logic why street fighter 2, the world warrior and street fighter 2 turbo are the same price. street fighter 2 turbo is better. $10 for mario kart 64 is too pricey.

Agreed with this.

All those games in one package would've been awesome.

What SNES game. It only comes with Mario bros 1-3 and the lost levels. This is not the version that has mario world included in the package. Yes it is greedy. VC games should not cost as much as they do. Seriously, those VC games have been out for 3 years, time for a discount. The CD is basically only 10 songs. The booklet is also not good because it does not mention the sports games mario was in, or a lot of the other games Mario was featured in. This collectors item is incomplete.

They should have just done a brand new all stars 25th anniversary edition with those games plus world with NSMB wii graphics!

That would have been cool and more reasonable.
