For some reason I imagine this having a Spyro-esque feel in terms of the plot line. Maybe, maybe not? Not sure how I feel about that kind of RPG story, but I'm actually excited about this. Guess we'll see how it turns out in the end.

@laus: I don't really see them pulling a LotSS on this one, either. We can hope though!

When you have games on the upcoming games list, how close does that mean?tancred8120

I think it really depends - some of these games have set release dates, while others haven't even been officially announced yet.

Do you think there is any chance they will release Super Mario All-Stars, or at least the graphically enhanced versions of those four Mario games, for Virtual console? I loved that cartridge to death and would love to be able to take those games with me when I head back to school in the fall. I'd rather not shell out 20 bucks over the next year to pick those games up only to realize that wasn't necessary...
