Today, Nintendo of America revealed plans to give U.S. consumers a super-special way to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Super Mario Bros.™ game series. Starting Dec. 12, the Super Mario All-Stars™ Limited Edition will be available for purchase while supplies last. This collectible package features four classic Mario™ games playable on the Wii™ system, a soundtrack CD and an illustrated commemorative booklet. Sure to be a sought-after item among holiday gift-seekers, Super Mario All-Stars will be offered at a suggested retail price of $29.99.

The games included in the Super Mario All-Stars collection are Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels, Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario Bros. 3. Each game features the enhanced graphics and updated sound from the Super NES™Super Mario All-Stars collection, and all four can be played on the Wii system using one of several controllers: the Wii Remote™ controller, Classic Controller™, Classic Controller Pro™ or the Nintendo GameCube™ controller.

Also included is a Super Mario History soundtrack CD, a compilation of memorable music from the Mario franchise. Containing classic theme songs and fun sound effects from the original Super Mario Bros. game all the way up to this year’s acclaimed Super Mario Galaxy™ 2 game, this special disc also marks the first official release of the “Super Mario Bros. Ground Theme,” widely recognized as one of the most famous pieces of video game music in history.

Rounding out the Super Mario All-Stars collection is a 32-page Super Mario History booklet featuring interviews, behind-the-scenes details and rare concept art. Fans from every generation can enjoy firsthand insights into the beginnings of Mario, illustrated with candid photos and never-before-seen design sketches. Together with the game software and soundtrack, it’s the ultimate tribute to a unique game series.

This should break the Pachter curse and Wii is no longer d00med!

At 20 I'd buy it at 30... eh I have SMB 3 on VC, for 15 dollars I could have the other 3, but all 4 with the all star graphics, a soundtrack, and artbook I'd buy a game I had over 10 years ago again (thats had no improvements) lol

Really though I was wondering why they couldn't take the engine for New Super Mario Bros Wii and remake all-stars in proper fashion I think it would sell like hotcakes.

Im getting one for sure. If not im going to go hulk all over the store. (not realy)

I'm curious to see how it sells.   Without updated graphics there's simply no incentive for me to buy this.  It's cheaper to get the games off VC and I don't care about the CD or booklet.

I wished Super Mario World was in there!!

In fact we need a New Super Mario World Wii !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What would be the point, you can get that on VC.

I'll be getting it for sure, as I'm definitely interested in the CD and Booklet. The games with the "updated" graphics will be nice as well.

30 bucks and no Mario World??? the sad part is people are going to buy this in droves and I thought the COD crowd was bad

I do believe I will ask for this for Christmas. If Nintendo stops shipping this after a year like they did with Metroid Prime Trilogy, then it would be unwise to wait to get this.

It's not just for the game. All that other stuff is included.
