Also, SMW was NEVER a part of SMB Allstars. They had a cart with both games on it, but they also had a cart with SMB and Duck Hunt on it but that doesn't make Duck Hunt a part of SMB.

Really? I'll have to boot up the VC version because I can't tell a difference from the AS version.

There's a significant difference between the two.

But didn't the grass wave in the 'wind'? I remember being a kid and thinking that the graphics were all so real!

Here's another one that's more accurate. http://retromedia.ign.com/retro/imag...06012_640w.jpg

It's funny how my muscle memory totally remembered the jump/duck sequence on Mario 2's level 4-2. Hate those whales though.

It always amazes me the things I remember to do in games after I have gone years not playing them at all.

Yeah, it's funny remembering all the invisible blocks but I totally blanked on the warp zones in SMB.

That's for the best, really.

That's a better price than the $70 average this game is going for on eBay.

That's quite a steal. I can't find it anywhere here still. I'm wondering if the tools at Best Buy are poaching them and putting them up for sale for profit somewhere. I hope I don't miss out on this totally...

I never play my Wii but grabbed one of these before we sold out just in case. Looks like I may be able to sell this in a year or two like the old PS2 Metal gear Solid 3 collectors edition. I made almost $200 off that baby. I honestly did not think this would be "limited" though...props to Nintendo.

Got this for XMas. I'm actually looking forward to having my son play this as his first game when he gets a little older.

I had no idea it was that limited. I returned my extra copy to Wal Mart a couple days ago for a gift card.

Oh god damnit, I had no idea this was actually limited and hard-to-find. I planned on buying it eventually, but figured the L.E. part of the title was bullshit. UGGGGGH.

Does anyone have an extra copy available they'd be willing to sell for cost + shipping? Help a fellow Mario geek out.

Shoot, I wish I had though of asking here. I was also planning to buy it after Christmas, but it's gone.

I bought an extra for a Christmas exchange tonight but with the soaring value I would look like Michael Scott tossing an iPod into the mix. lol

I went out and bought something else. I'll just hold on to the extra Mario for a while.
