Sadly, that's probably indeed the case. I miss the Super Mario Deluxe/Advance-style remakes badly.

They weren't kidding about Nintendo being quick to pull it from pre-order sources, though: It's nowhere to be found on Amazon.

Soundtrack sounds neat, but there's no other legitimate reason to buy this.

That and if you don't already own a SNES, I suppose. But yeah, were it to come out here, I'd probably buy it anyways.

I'd definitely buy it even if I do own a SNES.

Yay Mario!
But it bothers me how they always leave out the Yoshi's Island games and the Mario RPGs.

The RPGs and the YI games aren't part of the core series, so wanting them to be included would be no different than demanding the Party or Kart games to be added in.

Interesting how the video contains no SMAS footage...

But the Yoshi's Island games and the Mario RPGs are still full-fledged Mario adventures with stories, characters, level progression, and final bosses. It doesn't make sense to me to just cluster them with spin-offs like Mario Kart and Mario Party.

From a business perspective, they're unique and elaborate enough to justify a separate, wallet-milking release... hypothetically.

Yoshi's Island is definitely a main-series game. Yoshi's Story isn't as much. The RPGs are really too big games of their own to be included in collections.
At any rate, all they're doing here is porting SMAS to the Wii to get some money.

Yes, and they included SMW. I wonder if that means this'll be SMAS+SMW..?

That was my first assumption, seeing as that was in that special Japanese version that came out later.

The official site says no: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/svmj/index.html

SMAS+SMW only came out in the US and Europe.

That's... news to me. Ironic!
