FINALLY indeed! i couldn't wait another day, honestly...

Hey good news about the SMB3 but i wont to know when it comes out in the uk, should i buy Super Mario Bros. 3 or Super Mario World?

at aussie-nintendo.com nintendo has an ordered list of games that will be out. its the closest thing ive seen to release dates for the vc

ross, i dont know when the mario galaxy release is in the uk, but expect mario 3 the week before. and to your other question. i would just buy both. they are equally great games.

This is awesome! I live in Germany but i am from NYC. This is great news! I will download today!!!!!! Thanks NINTENDO!

Allright! I was just asking myself the other day when they would release this little gem, if not with SMG then surely on the Wii's first (US) anniversary. Can't wait for Friday...

BTW, how about you guys do a little write up on the Virtual Console feature's first year on nov. 18th?

HUZZAH!

Ross, buy both. Both are excellent games, among the best in the Mario series (along with Yoshi's Island).

I thought we'd get SMB 3 today. But were did the info. come from? The press release isn't on the press release page yet.

Great week for you guys, please let us get Super Mario Bros. 3 this Friday or even next...

YEAHA!!!!!
SMB3
Hopely comes out on Friday in Europe!

Kevin: Charles Martinet (The voice of Mario) sent out a phone call to various press people in the US (Whether the message was prerecorded or not I don't know, probably was though) and told them all three games.

Ahhhhh!!!! When is Super Mario RPG going to come out for the VC?! Christmas hopefully? Anyway, it's good to see this game being released again in its original 8 bit glory. It has been a long time since SMB3's original release in its 8 bit form in 1990, when the current George Bush poppy Bush Sr. was still president.

Alright, we finally got one of the best video games ever made on the VC: Power Golf!

I remember when I got Super Mario Bros. 3. I just had to have it and cried and moaned all morning about it until my uncle took me to get it.

What the heck happened to Super Air Zonk?!

Damn, and I thought Picross would be there.....

Finally, the best Mario Bros game for the NES, released on the VC. This game was the symbol for platforming.

SMB3?! HELL YEA!

"What the heck happened to Super Air Zonk?!"

who cares? we got SMB3 man!!!

I think both Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario World are equal. But I already have the game for my NES, though I am happy it finally came out to the Virtual Console.

Ok.... Super Mario Allstars please

Im glad SMB3 finally came(and will hold me off for now) so make the SNES version!!!

Along with Super Mario Bros. 3 out on the Virtual Console, finally Alien Soldier is available in North America (with the exception of Sega Channel) after staying in Japan in its original form and the PS2 Sega Ages: Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box. That is a good week...

Super Mario All-Stars will probably be released in August 2008 to celebrate the game's 15th anniversary.

That's awesome Nintendo finally put super Super Mario Bros. 3 on VC. It's one of the best games on the nes, This is a day fans have been looking forward to. Thanks again Nintendo and keep brining out the hits.

Drake, u mentioned to Kevin that people got a call from Charles Martinet about three games. Did u mean the three games this week, or three Mario games this Month?

Problem is i have 2600 wii points left i need to gets some more but these have to last me until christmas.. I am so wanting Zombies Ate My Neighbors and the release of Splatterhouse 2 & 3... Is there any signs of them games now? Thanks for the advice Dazza & kelvingreen Due to the un-even points i might just buy SMB3..

Excellent week... with the exception of power golf. I wanted Super Air Zonk instead of that.

Desperate: Just the three games today.

Ross: No signs of any of them yet. I would assume Splatterhouse 2 and 3 are coming in the future for sure, when Sega's run out of their own games (They're already starting to put a bit more third party games on VC now). As for Zombies... It was rated by the ESRB but it's gone now, so who knows? It was made by Konami and it's not licensed or anything, so it should be entirely possible.

why was zombies taken off of the release schedule? did they rate it as ok and then just change their mind?

****, still no N64 titles and no Zelda: Majoras Mask.... It was the only game i never played

Thanks Drake.. Can i just have one request? Name one game i should get for vc with the 600 points remaining on the shop without cracking into my other point cards..

they may be saving Majora's Mask for some special occasion... Christmas or New Year perhaps... but remember they also need special games like Majora's Mask to give us next Christmas too.

"The best game on the Virtual Console to date! (Well next to Super Mario World of course!)"

Psh, please.....

diablos: No idea. It was rated for a console called just "Nintendo" instead of "Wii" like all other VC games (Along with a few other titles which are also gone now), so maybe it never was a VC version.

Ross: (I assume you have a European Wii?) One of the Bonks, Soldier Blade, Devil's Crush, Wrecking Crew, Ninja Gaiden, Mega Man? (Trying not to mention the big Nintendo titles)

It'd be easier if I could see what you already have, maybe sign up on the forums and post in the "What VC games have you downloaded?" thread?

I hope the release of Alien soldier means more Sega channel exclusives games like Pulseman gets released.

Uuuh, aaah, uuuh... No words, a must download!

"at aussie-nintendo.com nintendo has an ordered list of games that will be out. its the closest thing ive seen to release dates for the vc"

Aussie-Nintendo is a fan site, so therefore it's speculation and Nintendo does not put out the info.

Also, why the heck should we get Super Mario All Stars when we now about have ALL of the games included in SMAS? It does not make any sense.

Lets home this is the month of Mario and we get Super Mario RPG. If that happens this will be the best VC month in a long time.

Some people prefer the better graphics of the SNES game, PowerLegend. I do. Super Mario All*Stars will probably come very late 2008 or 2009. It won't be any time soon.

We probably won't get Majora until next year.

I think we could also use a Mario game for the N64, as well.

I don't understand why everyone is so excited, there has always been the GBA port

The classic original has always been the better one of them all even if it doesn't look the best.

How come? Did the GBA version leave something out?

Nothing was left out from the GBA version. It's just that the NES version is the one that people grew up playing with. I for one don't get that fuzzy feeling when playing this on the GBA. It's meant to be played on a NES (or Virtual Console), in it's true 8-bit glory. YAHOO!

Please Nintendo SMB3 must surly come out in the UK for this Friday!, it's a great game. I'm hoping its like the NES version but when it came out for the Gameboy advance and you lost all lives you only begin from that level not the whole world again. Roll on SMG, UK and Europe we are getting it Friday week!! Roll on Friday, Nintendo PLEASE!

Guys in America we're getting Super Mario Galaxy 16 November!!!!!! I think we're getting it before Japan do, guys enjoy SMG on Monday.

Japan already has Galaxy. They got it last thursday.

Super Mario All-Stars will probably be released on the VC a week before Super Mario Galaxy 2 comes out.

Super Mario Galaxy 2?

@ Don and Pocketim

I think he meant.. it will be a long time till All-Stars comes out (which it wont), until Galaxy 2 comes out! lol

That will take some time...
Should it ever come.
