I just read on another web site that Nintendo has just pantented Mario all stars again. Now I know this just means the snes game will probably get a vc realase.  But what if they gave the original game a 2009 face lift but better still add Mario world with a face lift. And while they are at it how about give Mario 64 the galaxy look!! I would pay £40 full game price for that game pure awesomeness.  Anyone agree?  

I never thought they would release Mario All-Stars on the VC, but if they've patented it, maybe they will. Interesting.

As for your post, that would be cool, but I'd rather see that effort placed in making new games instead.

If Nintendo releases Mario All-Stars on the VC, especially the one with SMW on it, I'm calling that a foul move. A lot of people had to buy those games seperately and Nintendo could have easily released All-Stars instead of those five games and given everyone the same value.

Regarding the updated looks of older releases, it would be cool, but I'd rather see the energy go somewhere else. I've never had an issue going back and playing Mario games with their original graphics and I think many feel the same way. However, if they did do it, it would sell gangbusters, so from a financial standpoint, Nintendo should definitely do it.

Some games need to be updated. Mario games, I believe fall in this category. The gameplay is timeless, so a graphical update serves it very well to intice new players, and get long time fans to play them again.

Could be another Mario compilation. Wich Mario games aren't on the virtual console?

Just Yoshi's Island.

I would buy that.

my day has been made

I'm guessing if Metroid Prime Trilogy and NSMBWii does well. Chances are they will make Super Mario All stars for Wii with all the old games, and Super Mario 64 remade to give the Wii even more 2D Mario. And if people buy the compilation for 2D Mario, maybe the SM64 remake will make them like 3D Mario.

I have no problem with the"old" graphics.
