Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) YEEESSSSSS!!!! I am SO glad to be made to look stupid in this case! Why the hell didn't they mention it before!? WTF is wrong with them!? How the hell did the eReader levels not got mentioned in the press release OR the trailer!? How does this even happen!? It's THE big selling point of this release! 38 brand spanking new levels!!! There are clearly some incredibly braindead people working at NOE!! Money has been well earned from me here! I finally get to play the JPN only levels!

Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) Why was anyone even worried? @Dcubed, you actually jumped on to Miiverse before the game came out and complained? I can't believe I'm saying this. But for this day, you're a Miiverse Dope! Now remember, Final Fantasy 4 came out before Bravely Default, Rosalina existed before Frozen's Elza and don't worry, I won't make any jokes, you wouldn't get them anyway.

Posted March 10, 2016 Why was anyone even worried? I feel the worry was justified. 1. We never got these levels in the first place. 2. NoA actually said that they were getting the eReader levels when they announced the game was coming to the VC. 3. Seeing as we never originally got them you would have thought NoE would have been shouting from the rooftops that they were included in this release, but they didn't.

Posted March 10, 2016 Great they made it in. Not so great in that this means I'm probably gonna buy them now. March expenses... intensify. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

America never got the Japan-only levels, so I'm not sure what you're trying to prove with that first point. The other 2 are fair enough, but seeing how NOA/NOJ has put the effort in to modify the ROM to include them, I don't see why NOE wouldn't follow suit. I'm sure they just asked what NOA did and just copied them, provided they weren't just flat-out told to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We didn't get them then, so it doesn't mean we would have got them now. Yeah, the US got the Japan only stuff but considering just how weird the releases are between regions when it comes to the VC, who knows what version we could have ended up with. The US gets 60hz games, so why don't we get the same ROMs get dumped over here, as well? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 10, 2016 Because of the language options. If a game is text-heavy, then they use the version that has multiple languages. Donkey Kong Country 2 is classed as text heavy? I'm not going to argue the point anymore, i'm just happy we finally get the Mario 3 eReader levels. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 10, 2016 Why was anyone even worried? The press release made no mention of the eReader levels and the trailer went out of its way to avoid showing anything from World e whatsoever... @Dcubed, you actually jumped on to Miiverse before the game came out and complained?I can't believe I'm saying this. But for this day, you're a Miiverse Dope! Now remember, Final Fantasy 4 came out before Bravely Default, Rosalina existed before Frozen's Elza and don't worry, I won't make any jokes, you wouldn't get them anyway. Ha ha! I'll try not to stoop to THAT level, but in this case, I'm glad to be a Miiverse dope this time :p Because of the language options. If a game is text-heavy, then they use the version that has multiple languages. Oh don't get me started on DKC 2... You know as well as I do that the US version actually does include multi-language support... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) I feel the worry was justified. The worry, maybe. The complaining/attacks before we had any sort of confirmation wasn't. NoE have actually handled the VC way better than NoA*, we've got more games released and got them way earlier in most cases. The omission from the PR was pretty odd, though they did sort of hint at it. *Ignoring the 50hz issue, but at least they fixed it for the N3DS VC. Edit: This is why we sometimes get the 50hz version: You must have JavaScript enabled on your device to view Miiverse posts that have been embedded in a website.

Posted March 10, 2016 Well I'd best get downloading then! Today is a good day, thank you NOE! I now retract all that was said earlier... ...until the next time. Anyway, yay! e-Reader levels get! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 10, 2016 (edited) I decided to play through the normal game first and have just finished it now.

I still despise world 7, though. Hated it in my youth and still hate it now. I've had a quick go of the eReader levels and ones I played looked great. Looks like there's plenty to do, as well. Finishing with both brothers and finding all the coins should keep me busy. Edited March 10, 2016 by Hero-of-Time Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2016 I ended up finishing the first set of eReader levels before going to bed last night. I love hunting down the coins.

I wasn't really fussed about getting any of the other Mario games on the VC yesterday but I may pick up Mario Advance: Super Mario Bros. 2 after i've finished with this one. It's been a while since I played through the original game and the GBA version has some nice added extras to hunt down. I was trying to hold off purchasing anything off the eShop until the My Nintendo thingy came into play. I figured I would hold back and then hopefully get some points for my purchases. Releasing these games and then putting them on offer was a sly move, Nintendo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted March 11, 2016 @Hero\-of\-Time what differences are there between the Mario Advance games to the originals on the NES/SNES There's a bunch of changes and tweaks to each of the games. Stuff like better character models, voices, new challenges, being able to play as Luigi, Mario Advance even has a new boss fight. If you haven't played the original games in a while I highly recommend giving the GBA games a go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 11, 2016 I played through Super Mario Advance tonight. You must have JavaScript enabled on your device to view Miiverse posts that have been embedded in a website. View post in Miiverse Great game! I've always liked this game and feel it gets an unfair amount of criticism from many gamers. It may be very different for the other Mario games but I feel that's what makes it so special. It's very much same situation as The Adventures of Link. Honestly, I wish Nintendo would step out of certain comfort zones and do more crazy stuff like this with their 2D Mario games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted March 12, 2016 I have to say, I'm having a cracking time on Super Mario Advance 2. I've played the SNES version countless times but always avoided the GBA conversion as many said it wasnt that good. I'm happy to find this isn't the case. Trying to find all 5 of the Yoshi coins has proved to be stupidly fun and has gave the game some legs. I've just finished world 3, as well as finishing off Star Road. Loving it.

Posted March 12, 2016 Oh yeah! I forgot that they added extra Yoshi Coins (and a coin collection tracker) to this version! It's a nice little extra that encourages a bit more exploration Too bad the music still sounds terrible in this version and they've made it substantially easier overall :p (it is fun to use Luigi's crazy floaty jump to break he levels though ) Still, we have both versions on the VC, so everyone wins Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its a great conversion and reinforces my opinion that Super Mario World is still the King when it comes to 2D Mario games. I do have one issue with this version of the game. When playing this on the SNES or Virtual Console I ALWAYS spit out a key just as the keyhole is closing, when I have Yoshi in tow. This version doesn't allow it for some reason. It's such a small thing but it really bummed me out! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
