Cool! Exactly what I wanted! I never actually said I wanted the NES version instead of All-Stars, just that if it came down to just emulating the actual original, I wouldn't mind so long as the original was in there. This is totally unaltered original NES gameplay just with updated graphics, AND a new revamped awesome far above remake of the game. THIS is exactly what I wanted OB1, and yes, I'm happy! Now then, there was ONE thing the All-Stars version altered from the NES version of SMB3. When you beat the NES version, when you start a new game (without turning off or resetting the system mind you), you get a full item menu of p-wings. It was a fun bonus that allowed you to have all sorts of easy flying fun in a second run of the game. In the All-Stars version, you don't get that. It would be nice to give us that reward again. When beating the All-Stars original, unlock an option for whenever someone starts a new game, for "P-Wing Mode" or "Normal Mode". That would be nice.
Anyway, it's awesome that they are finally doing this. They SHOULD have done the same for Mario Bros. 2 (let us choose to play in original mode) instead of only giving us the altered mode, but at least they are doing it now.
I can't wait for this ultimate version of my favorite 2D Mario game! Please give us multiplayer (alternating without the multiplayer bonus levels is easy enough with just one Advance, alternating with bonus levels should be easy with two linked systems).
