... but in the case of Nintendo's Super Mario Collection Special Pack, I don't really care.
Why? Well, I've never been a fan of Super Mario All-Stars--and that game serves as the backbone of this soon-to-be-released (in Japan only, as of now) "special pack."
Of course, said pack--which will retail for about $25--also will contain a booklet that chronicles the 25-year history of the Super Mario Bros. franchise and a soundtrack CD that culls tunes from the series' first entry all the way through Super Mario Galaxy 2.
As fabulous as that sounds, I can't help but feel a bit disappointed that the game portion of this "special pack" doesn't include the original versions of Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, 3 and USA rather than Super Mario All-Stars' 16-bit re-imaginings.

BTW, I also would have liked it if Nintendo had decided to remake SMB 1, 2, 3 and USA (or 1, 2, 3 and Lost Levels) using the New SMB Wii engine. I'd probably still prefer the originals, though.
Oh man...I'd LOVE that.
Yeah, I'm actually a bit confused as to why they've decided against doing that thus far.
Great idea -- and that would have made this collection a must-buy. Can't say I'm terribly interested in this one, either.
You know it's going to sell a boatload, though -- esp. in Japan. Still, it's an uninspired release, if you ask me.
Just saw this commercial on TV tonight and was wondering what it was... Thanks for the explanation
Glad to be of service, Jeff! So, the question is -- will you be getting it?
