Super Mario World takes off on VC

I was really hoping for Donkey Kong Country along with Super Mario World. But at least I got one of them

Ya i really keep hoping for either Super Mario RPG or Earthbound really hoping Earthbound eventually comes out on VC, but anyhow Super Mario World is definately a good add at least :).

Alaris83 I think that is a complete understatement sir. If anyything, we'll should get Earthbound by the time SSBB comes out.

Haha! This is awesome!

I think Nintendo has some sort of Anti-RPG thing going on.

f'ing yes!

im still playing killer instinct on xbox. i mod-ed it to play all emulators. its almost better than my 360.

One of the best games of all time is here! Super Mario World. I still want Chronotrigger...sigh..

super mario world wow i mean ok i saw this coming not a shock, but i had it for my GBA it has serious replay value i loved that game but now they need to redo those games into 3D! NINTENDO fans would flip idk i think thats a pretty good idea

With the exception of gain ground this weeks list was sweet. Now give us Uniracers (PLEASE!!) All the castlvanias And start selling GBA through VC.

O_o pretty sweet

Thats great but when are we getting Demos Free Demos!

At first I thought they meant Vigilante 8. A great game if you haven't tried it yet. I wonder if they gonna put Battletoads on the VC

Now nintendo is on their game, LttP, MK64 and now this. I am gonna buy 2000 points and my first act will be LttP and Super Mario World, 2 classic games. I bought a lot of crappy virtual console games just because i could which was kinda dumb.

Nobody is mentioning Gain Ground as a good release. I had this for my Genesis and it was one of those sleeper hits. Good game play and a massive challenge (once your favorite character dies, they die for good.......use them wisely). Good to get, especially if you have never played it. BTW, SMW is one of the greatest platform games EVER!

That is great news but they really need donkey kong country.

As much as I've been clamoring for Donkey Kong Country, I can't argue with Super Mario World. Quite possibly the best in a great series. @FiestaUnicorn: Color A Dinosaur, LOL! Wall Street Kid FTW, dude.

Its a fantastic game but I already own the SNES cart. Still, heartily endorse purchasing this game.

AvIdGaMeR444: "What many people don't seem to realize is that when Nintendo puts up their VC games, those said games have to be tested again to make sure there are no bugs in the emulation. Nintendo has to pay their testers, therefore VC games are costing as much as they are. The process is not as simplistic as just throwing a game for VC for download. It still takes a bit of time for Nintendo...so you are paying for convenience, the cost of testing the game for emulation, and time. When you consider all this, VC games are a bargain! " That is by far the smartest thing I have read in days on Gamespot articles. It explains the price so clearly, you get my applause sir. Anyways, great they have a classic that's withstood time on there. I really want my Super Mario RPG: Quest for the Seven Stars sometime soon!

Its good that these great games are comming out for vc but i dont really like their price tag...

Good, girlfriend will stop harrassing me with Mario World. I may actually also get Vigilante. I vaguely remember this game.

I remember playing Vigilante in the arcade, that's why I bought it for the TG-16 since it was "arcade perfect". However it was so-so back them, I don't know think that it has held up today.

Ahh yes the good ole days... man this game(Super Mario World) brings back memories!

C'mon EarthBound, Chrono Trigger and Super Mario RPG.

Awesome, one of the best platformers ever. I'll downlaod it when I get more points, or just enjoy my GBA version, and stare at my broken SNES.

Maybe not the best Mario game, but definitely the most fun and enjoyable for me. It's about time.

Cool.

That's hot. I already have 2 copies so no need to download. Super Mario World is among my favorite games of all times, but Super mario bros 3 is superior in every possible aspect.

doobs87 Super Mario World = greatest 2D platformer ever, no contest Nah, Super Metroid was MUCH better, closely followed by Castlevania : Syphony of the night Super Metroid will probably make it to the VC.

Super Mario World = greatest 2D platformer ever, no contest

Pftt, I only have 500 points, I wish there was a feature so you can BORROW points :)

Muzykmann "Man... why is it every time Ninty releases another great classic game, we get bombarded with people **** and moaning?" -------- Because unfortunately, some people just aren't happy unless they're miserable. They need something to complain about. If Ninty releases their top titles on the VC, they're accused of whoring their games in an effort to milk cash from us. If they don't release those titles, they'll be blasted for ignoring their top franchises/titles, and giving out obscure, inferior games instead. Either way, people have some reason to flame the company... it's win-win for them. Not that it matters. I'm happy to enjoy the 5-star titles, secure in the knowledge that some folks have no taste when it comes to quality.

*goes to download* Oh no, I'm outta Wii points. ='(

Man... why is it every time Ninty releases another great classic game, we get bombarded with people **** and moaning? hazuki : "....Reggie promised super mario world for americas wii launch. Not 4 months after." -the Regginator promised that a long LONG time ago, and Ninty made it perfectly clear that it was going to be releasing these titles slowly WEEKS before release. You're dwelling on something that was said months before the release. Point being, you were alerted to the change before the purchase, so nobody was tricked or fooled into the buy. Andy639_basic: "Why is Nintendo making all these releases of games that they've re-released in the past five years ... Makes no sense to me. " -Because the games that were worth re-releasing are the best of the best, and therefore the FIRST to be released on the VC. Not everyone bought the re-released versions, and those people deserve those A list titles. And some people will buy the newest release ANYWAY, because the convenience of having all those titles on one pretty little box is worth a few $. Think it over again, cause it makes PERFECT sense to me. Keep up the good work Ninty. Pay no attention to the whiners.

This is proof that Nintendo is conspiring against me... they want my money.. .and they have a good shot at getting it. I have it for the SNES but I don't have my SNES with me and haven't set it up if I do. For the GBA the resolution is the same but the screen is much smaller. And you're still paying twice the cost.

DiscoJoy! Finally an excuse to get some more Wii points and get downloading. This is the one I've been waiting for...

give me "color a dinosaur" or give me death!!!!!!!!!!!!

Too bad EVERYONE already has it for SNES. Or at least you should.

I think I'll get the GBA version instead. I just have to find an used copy.

Best game ever

This... is the 2nd happiest day of my life.... (1st was the day i got a SNES with Super Mario World... so great that i got two of 'em)

Ahh, sweet classic goodness. :)

I'm glad that I'm not the only one who sits in suspense every Monday, I really want Super Metroid, Zelda OoT, Zelda MM, and Earthbound. I'm waiting Nintendo...

Super Mario World is classic and a must-buy for any gamer. Go, Wii60!!:D

I wish I had a Classic Controller... ;_;

Already have it for SNES, amazing platformer, one of the best for sure. :D

I'd buy SMW in a heartbeat--if it wasn't already on GBA. Why is Nintendo making all these releases of games that they've re-released in the past five years (Super Mario World, Zelda, LTTP, Mario 64,) when they could be releasing games that haven't seen the light of day in decades (like Kid Icarus) or at least since the early ninties (like Earthbound)?? Makes no sense to me.

Mario World was like one of the first games I've owned for the SNES and now I have it on my GBA. I would like to play it again on the Wii (If I can find one!!!)
