I guess three years from E3 '05 could be "like years".

Or you could, you know, hit the Adblock Plus disable button.

She can; I can't. :D

Why?  What was so bad about them?

…and then the american verison came out in 1988 of the original SMB2 in JP from 1986.

You don't got it.  Or maybe you made an error when you typed.  To reiterate...blah, let me color code it.  Red is SMB2J based, purply blue is YK:DDP based.  Flags are also provided to show what was released where (Japan and US only).

1986 — Super Mario Bros. 2
1987 — Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic
1988 — Super Mario Bros. 2
1992 — Super Mario USA
1993 — Super Mario Collection (contains Super Mario Bros. 2 and Super Mario USA)
1993 — Super Mario All-Stars (contains Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels and Super Mario Bros. 2)
1997 — BS Super Mario USA
1999 — Super Mario Bros. Deluxe (contains Super Mario Bros. for Super Players)
2001 — Super Mario Advance
2004 — Famicom Mini: Super Mario Bros. 2
2007 — Super Mario Bros. 2 (Virtual Console)
2007 — Super Mario Bros. 2 (Virtual Console)
2007 — Super Mario USA (Virtual Console)
2007 — Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels (Virtual Console)

EDIT: Added GBA titles as reminded by Mß; added BS Super Mario USA just 'cause.

I see now.  I guess saying "basically just a level hack" is just a bit of an oversimplification.  While it's definitely built on the SMB engine, and a lot of things look the same, there's still the new graphics, the new objects (poison mushroom, wind), the original World 9, and a new ending theme.  It's very similar, yes, but at the time you wouldn't have really expected too much more from a sequel.

Where as SMB:LL is considered just a hack of the original "American" version to make it harder for the Japanese public!

Bird Person's explanation is quite satisfactory.  I'm just wondering where you got this idea from.

Yeah, kinda makes me wish people would host some ads through a third party so that I wouldn't have them blocked when they're posted here. :(

Yeah, I'm really eager to take a test to see how dumb I am. Especially when I'm being goaded by a hand puppet and Dr. Seuss font.[/img]

Not to mention that two of those aren't polygons…

I have it on good authority (chatlogs) that Deezer used proper spelling and punctuation when he said that.  He used the lower case, though.

I'm not saying that it's a good idea to do it because of that, I'm just saying what it does.
