Super Mario All-Stars package lightly damaged

When I got my copy, the booklet of the Super Mario History was badly ripped on the bottom right of the second page. I know i"m going to get over it but somehow I can't feel that Nintendo rushed the packaging. Anyone else have a similar expierence? It's nothing big but I just wanted to share my thoughts on the packaging.

any good pic's of what exactly is included in the box-set?

Sorry for the bad lighting but in person, it's pretty bad. I used photobooth on the mac.

Here's what's included

It's a decent packaging but I expected more.

Hmm...I haven't picked up my copy quite yet, so I'm not sure if I'll encounter something like that.

I've been saying for a long time that this game would be a "rip off" (pun intended).

at TC where did you get it from?..EB? ...if so take it back. I wouldn't accept crap like that.

I see no reason why you should care, unless you're a hardcore collector who wants it to look like you just purchased it forever. I thought you meant something that made some text in the booklet unreadable or something. Not a tiiiiny little rip like that.

Then you're not a collector and probably have no problem with used games too, lots of people want pristine versions of their games

My book showed slight where as well on the top cover and it was brand new.

Also watched a couple un-boxings on utube and they also had this problem.

Nothing as big as your but still a little dissappointing.

Off topic, but man whats wrong with your photobooth, those are horrible pictures :(

this, I don't really collect for say my games but even the ones I've played 100s of times still look brand new. Its called respect for ones belongings

I had no problem with the packaging, but I think the soundtrack was rushed. Why are half of the "songs" 5 second sound effects? Rocky32189

Because these are the exact same games that have been released over and over again through the years. They are currently on virtual console so the argument that "newer gamers who didn't get to experience the originals now can" is invalid.

My box was a little...chipped I guess. There's marks on the outer cardboard box, only on one side. Kind of dissappointing. I haven't opened it because I'm getting it for Christmas (Shhh, it's a secret).

Yea mine had a few dings and scuffs on it as well, I assume its from shipping since I got it at gamestop. But I'm a collector and very meticulous about my games condition, so i turned back around as soon as I bought it and said "this ain't gonna cut it, bring me another", So i got a better conditioned one after that. Admittedly I've done that before since gamestop has the bad habit of thinking ill want the game off the shelf in a sleeve already opened, that's something I cant stand and wont settle for.

Ditto!!!...hence why I buy (wanted most) on release day, so they don't get the chance to take it out of packaging then re put it back.

I'm pretty sure this is the first rerelease of the graphically enhanced versions. However, I agree they could and should have done more with it.

[QUOTE="PersonNinja"] Why is everyone complaining about this game? Its a $30 anniversary Limited Edition game. $30 will buy you the original Super Mario All-Stars cart for SNES. They kept the original songs and included sound effects for the fans to have fun with.Jamisonia

I think he was talking about the games in general being released over and over again, graphic enhanced or not.

Though I guess you could say All-Stars had already been rereleased if you count the Super Mario World combo version that came out for the SNES. That is technically a rerelease. Then theirs also all the GBA ports, those are rereleases of some of the graphically enhanced versions as well!

Dude the mario world version was not a re-release. It was available on any store to get it you needed to buy a new SNES System at the time of the promotion, you needed to send a receipt and $35 dollars too.soulreaper-4

So the Zelda collection for the GC wasn't a rerelease of Ocarina, Majorors Mask, and other old Zelda games just because you had to buy a special platinum GC to obtain it :roll:

Just because you had a special condition to obtain it doesn't change the fact its a release of a previously released game, thus a rerelease!

Picked this up this afternoon and love it. I had the same issue with the booklet as well as the instruction manual. Minute defects. A little disappointed but not to the extent that I wanted to exchange it. I wish there were a few more tunes on the CD but otherwise this package seems like a tribute to old school Nintendo fans who have been there since the beginning. I played each of these games on the original Nintendo when they were released when I was a kid and now I am getting to share them with my son. Awesomeness. Salute Nintendo.
