Topic: Super Mario Advance- How do you think it will end up?

[SuperMarioBros4]

Here is my example:

Released:
Super Mario Advance- Super Mario Bros. 2
Super Mario Advance 2- Super Mario World
Super Mario Advance 3- SMW2:  Yoshi's Island
Super Mario Advance 4- Super Mario Bros. 3

But wait, since the first 3 advance games have been selling like hotcakes (and so will SMB3: SMA4), they will keep on milking the franchise.. Here is how I think it will end up.  A nightmare!!  Madness!!

Super Mario Advance 5- Yoshi's Story
Super Mario Advance 6- Super Mario Bros./Super Mario Bros.-The Lost Levels
Super Mario Advance 7- Super Mario RPG
Super Mario Advance 8- Super Mario Land
Super Mario Advance 9- Super Mario Land 2

Sorry folks, but nothing is going to stop this madness, in my opinion.  Even PSP won't even hurt sales one bit.  Hey at least we have our new 2-D Mario game, Mario and Luigi.

well they allready released mario 1 on hte GBC so that wont be it, yoshi's story doesn't have mario in it, so i guess thats out, super mario RPG is a posibility, but super mario land 1 and 2 are GB games no? so re releasing them would be a bit silly sure they could jazz up the graphics, but i doubt they are going to milk it that much

What about

Super Mario Advance X - Donkey Kong Jr. ?

[Bartman3010]

I think they should enhance Super Mario Land 2. That was a GREAT Game Boy game, and if they can DX Link's Awakening, they can DX Super Mario Land 2.

That and super mario land 1 was horrible.  Well maybe that is a bit harsh.  But not anything I would ever buy again.

Here is what I want.

Super Mario Bros. 4.  Or maybe 5 if you count Super Mario World as 4.  Give us a new classic style mario platformer!!  I mean Mario & Luigi looks cool, but I want more old school mario!

lost levels was in mario deluxe (the gbc game).  if i remember right, you get access to it when you beat the game.

i'd like to see Super Mario RPG.  i love how my awesome Super Nintendo collection may some day be entirely portable.   i'll probably piss my pants if they actually release Mother 1 & 2 here!!

I was thinking about this today too.

Some things to consider:

-Super Mario Bros. Deluxe was never released on cart in Japan; it was only available through the Lawson convenience store download system, which is now over. So the All-Stars versions of 1 and 2 could be an option. But remember that the SMA games have all been rather expansive since Mario Advance - Mario 3 was given a complete overhaul. As fun as they are, Mario Advance 5 featuring SMB 1 and 2 would not be an impressive followup unless there was some dramatic change to the games.

-With the spate of SNES rereleases, and the success of Mother 1&2 and the Mario Advance remakes, I'd be shocked if Mario RPG didn't hit the GBA within a year or so. I doubt it would be tagged with the Mario Advance title though.

-Yoshi's Story sounds like it could happen too. They've probably got a working GBA version sitting around already and are just wondering how to position it as a commercial success.

-Super Mario Land and SML2 would require top-to-bottom upgrades, and let's not forget that they are very limited games. This would defeat the purpose of the Mario Advance series if they had to be entirely reprogrammed and redrawn. A brand-new game, as well, would defeat the purpose.

I'd look to the SNES back catalog if you really want to know what's going to happen GBA-wise. There's two more DKC games. There's two Fire Emblem games. There's Metal Slader Glory Director's Cut. There's Marvelous, an RPG directed by Eiji Aonuma. Kirby Super Star.  Star Fox. Hell, there's even Super Punch-Out! if you want to get crazy. I'd put money down and say that at least half of these games will end up on the GBA. Sadly, Nintendo's kind of running out of Mario titles. And I say that without a speck of sarcasm; I was completely addicted to Advance 4 these last two days.

I think that Mario RPG is the only good choice left.

[Do you like Super Mario Bros 3?]

: I think it might be the 9 that were mensioned + Super Mario Advance 10 Mario Party, Super Mario Advance 11 Mario Party 2, Super Mario Advance 12 Mario Party 3, Super Mario Advance 13 Mario Party 4, Super Mario Advance 14 Mario Party 5! (When Mario Party 5 Gets Released)!

^^^^ There should definately be a character limit for names.

i think i'll just hold my breath on 'super mario sunshine' to arrive on the gba 7.
