Please let us get SMB3 this week or even next =)

I think you guys will get this game next week.

It's nice that it's on VC and all, but I can't help but wonder why SO MUCH people get all worked up over it. It's been released three times before (Original, All-Stars, SMA4), are you honestly excited for a rerelease of a game you've played already or have you never played it before (In which case, why are you getting excited for it since you don't know if you'll find it good or not)?

I've only had it on GBA and it's such a good game that I want to play it on the VC. Simple as that. Also, it gets me even more hyped for Galaxy

[SKTTR]

I'm not that hyped about SMB3. I still think Super Mario World is way better,
but anyway, you can't get a better platformer for 500 points.

I've played this on NES at my cousins house.
Later I got it on Super Mario All-Stars but I sold my SNES collection.
Yeah, that was stupid, but I learned and didn't make the same mistake with my N64 and Gamecube collection.

The GBA version is considered too easy, as it gives you way too many 1 Ups...

Yeah I know what you mean, I just can't wait to finally play the NES version

[hippiecrite]

This is so downloaded as soon as I get home from work. SMB3 is my favorite platform game and to have it again in its original form is going to rock so hard. This and Zack and Wiki will hold me over nicely until next week.

Well, I don't remember having it, but for some reason I remember playing it. I get that nostalgiac feeling from it. I think I might have owned it on All Stars or my old NES back when I was incredibly young.

Anyway, this is basically my first (real) playthrough with it, and at 5 dollars it's probably the biggest value on the VC. And to think, I almost bought the Advance version for $30 a year or so ago.
