Dammit, Nintendo. Only you could get the gaming world excited about the re-release of a 17-year-old remake of some 20-plus-year-old games. You know that Wii version of Super Mario All-Stars Japan is getting, with a soundtrack CD, booklet, and 25th anniversary Super Mario Bros. packaging? We’re getting it, too.

Nintendo announced Thursday that it would be releasing a “limited time” edition of Super Mario All-Stars, the Super Nintendo compilation remake of Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2 (both American and Japanese versions), and Super Mario Bros. 3, and gave them all 16-bit graphical overhauls and save features. This version of the game will work on the Wii, and be able to use the Wiimote, Classic Controller, and even the Gamecube controller. The game will also include a Mario soundtrack CD and a booklet of Mario history.

The best part? It’ll be just $30. Well, the “best part” is a bit relative. If you consider it a full game in its own right, worthy of a current-generation release at $30, it’s a great deal. If you think it’s a 17-year-old relic that played the remake card when it first game out, it’s a cheap cash-in. If you think the $30 is a steal compared to the $50 of most new Wii games, it’s a great deal. If you think you’re getting ripped off an extra $10 compared to the price of the original games over the Virtual Console, it’s a cheap cash-in. Either way, the game comes out December 12, and will be available at all major retailers (making the “limited edition” part of the release just slightly in question).
