Check out that snazzy anniversary logo.
For a while, Mario fans in North America were a little upset when they heard that Japan would be (and possibly exclusively) getting the Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition for the series' silver anniversary. It seemed as if the Mario faithful of America would be missing out on a chance for a nice gaming collectable. Well, finally, the limited edition set will be arriving in North America on December 12. This of course comes a week after Nintendo announced Mario anniversary Wii and DS bundles (including some really nice artwork on the consoles to boot), so it seemed likely that the company would announce the release of Super Mario All-Stars.
This pristine package will include four classic Mario titles (Super Mario Bros., The Lost Levels, Super Mario Bros. 2, and Super Mario Bros. 3), all of which will have updated graphics and sound, presumably the same from the original Mario All-Stars collection. The collection also includes a commemorative art booklet and a soundtrack dubbed Super Mario History, which brings together all the music and sounds that the series has to offer.
According to the press release, the soundtrack will contain the "first official release" of the "Super Mario Bros. Ground Theme," which is a memorable tune from the original game. To top it all off, this entire collection will only run you $30. That alone is enough incentive to have this package, even though the included Mario titles have been released in different formats over the past two decades.
