Can you believe it's been 25 years? Man.
Here's a little video (http://www.gamespot.com/wii/action/supermarioworldsnes/video/6275779/super-mario-bros-25th-anniversary-video?nonRedirectElement=1) celebrating the history of Mario.

Cool video. That page nearly freezes Firefox here if I try to do anything beyond watching it, though. Now I remember why I wasn't allowing some of the scripts there to run. I still need to play New SMB Wii and Mario Galaxy 2 to be able to say I've played all of them.

Definitely grabbing this if it comes stateside.

Seems kind of like a lost opportunity for something so instrumental in gaming. Super Mario All Stars is a start, but they could have done stuff like Lucas Arts did in the Monkey Island remakes where you can play with the new or the old graphics. Mario Sunshine could get a Wii port where you aim with the Wiimote. Bring New Super Mario Bros (the DS version) to the Wii. It's not a lot of Mario stuff doesn't exist on the Wii at some level already, so even putting everything up to Super Mario Galaxy into a single package would have been awesome.

That gives them less to repackage and sell later

Well, yeah. However, if they put all that in a package at a premium price around that of a collector's edition, it might actually sell pretty well. Money now or money later. Someone's probably already run the numbers. Still, it would be more meaningful to put that all in a celebration package. If the creators of Mario had any input, I imagine they'd like that if Mario was more than a money printing machine to them.

Super Mario All Stars? Really?
