Super Mario's 25th Anniversary
Is this not the coolest website to promote a game? It's simple, attractive, classic 8-bit (and 16-bit) Mario greatness. When I found out about this game I knew for certain I wouldn't hesitate to buy it. Then I read the reviews. What a disappointing celebration of Mario's b-day. Essentially if you already own the SNES Super Mario All-Stars then there's no real reason to buy this. What about the awesome book you ask? Half-assed. The sweet cd? A joke. Good old Nintendo, why reinvent when you can simply repackage? That's what they did with this set conveniently right before Christmas. Yeah I still bought it, but that's kind of the problem. Nintendo knows they can take advantage of people like me when they release these retro sets. I'm not complaining, it's great to have these for the Wii, but the set as a whole could have been so much better. The book, the cd, the discs themselves that leave ample disc space for more extras. They all could have been improved. Moreover, they should have been for the VG royalty that is Super Mario. All hail the king! Happy "25th" Mario! Wait, didn't Donkey Kong come out in 1981? So he's really 29? Shit.
