Don't do it. Spend your points on Bloody Wolf instead.

I downloaded it as soon as I heard. SMB2 was always one of my favorites.

The game wasn't that bad, it was just a stupid idea.

Nah, where'd Mario be today if the SMB2 madness hadn't happened?

Luigi might still be a green-clad clone!

I wish they would just bring the Japanese version of SMB2 here, and just alter the difficulty.

Why release the game here and change what it's known for? I say we're better off with just the SMUSA game. Besides, it wasn't a stupid idea, SMB2J wouldn't have been successful then due to its difficulty and similarity to the original. It was a smart move on Nintendo's part to make a new SMB2: it joins SMB1 and 3 as the top three best-selling games for the NES.

Alter the difficulty? ?? ??? ???? ????? ?????? ??????? ???????? ????????? ??????????

Bring it here? SMAS, SMBDX, imports.
Edit: you know, SMB2 happened. Both versions have been released here. Mario is super-successful. I don't think there's any room for complaining here. SMB2J may very well have turned off a lot of gamers here and killed Nintendo.

aRgH, the bumping of this made me think that SMB2(j) had just been released, perhaps as Reggie's aforementioned September surprise!

Wait, what was the September surprise, anyway?

Every time I see this topic I think the same thing. Then I look at it and I'm like MAAANNNNN.....

I said in my post that they should "alter it" to make it easier.

Yeah, but people would want the original game. Nothing from a compilation. And I'd rather have them port it here than buy the system that plays it, which would cost more money.

The difficulty of SMB2J is its defining feature. Also, you double posted again.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #15 on:** September 25, 2007, 05:48:23 PM »

silverstarman missed what I was trying to say, which is that altering the difficulty is a stupid, stupid, terrible idea.

silverstarman · « **Reply #16 on:** September 25, 2007, 05:53:47 PM »

And you can fix this by???? And how????

NintendoExpert89 · « **Reply #17 on:** September 25, 2007, 05:55:44 PM »

Just don't touch the difficulty. If Nintendo chooses decides to release it on the NA VC, let them. Until then, just get an emulator or something.

Well, the game has been rated to be released here, and the only reason it never came out overseas in the first place was because of the difficulty. I'm not trying to start a rant, either. It's nintendo's choice, and they can do what they want. This was just my opinion.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #19 on:** September 25, 2007, 06:18:21 PM »

That's the reason they gave, which may have been their thinking at the time, but it's still a horrible reason, and in this day and age, there is absolutely no reason to touch the difficulty.
