Super Mario All-Stars was almost 'Mario Extravaganza'

I don't care what they call, just give me the 25th Anniversary Collectors Edition :D

It's not enough to have a commercial before the video, now there's a pop up ad over the video as it plays.

Gosh.

Uh, I'm not sure why its such an interesting factoid, honestly. So they used graphics to make the graphics? And more for the SNES than the NES? Shocking!

Yeah, but those 8 blocks were my childhood.

Sesame Street for gamers.

What everyone really wants is a true 25th Anniversary collection that has all the Mario appearances on NES/SNES/N64/Gamecube games on disc.

Seriously, I want to play Donkey Kong, Mario Bros. and then Mario Kart 64 on the same disc.

I think this blew my mind more, though!

The more you know!

@Guts If you haven't played Okami on the PS2 yet, you should try the Wii port, it's dirt cheap everywhere. Seeing that you listed a few RPGs, The Last Story is also a game to look foward to in the future... if NOA ever localizes it that is.

It's really just 4 parts though, they're just flipped.

you know mario was making money over the years, look at that gut.

I don't know what this video was for

Another video instantly backed out of when a commercial started to play. Joystiq staff, if you're going to sink this low, then at least warn your readers by the video window, before we hit the play button, so we can make an informed decision. Thank you.

@Guts
That's a kind of random selection! For instance, Fragile Dreams - I very much liked it and definitely recommend it to people who like that sort of game (especially to those who like Japanese voice acting), but there are lots of better Wii games that you should probably pick up too if you get the system. I loved the story and locations/world and the memory items, but there isn't a whole lot of actual gameplay.

For example, both Mario Galaxies are absolutely stunning. I can't imagine anyone who wouldn't like those games at least enough to be worth buying them. You can probably get them used now (ebay etc) for a good price.

That aside - if you do like Fragile Dreams, you might want to consider Cursed Mountain, which is sort of in the same vein and also has good voice acting, though English this time. Nobody bought it so you can probably get it in bargain bin for basically nothing, but I thought this was a good game too (again, gameplay is lacking, world/story is great).
