I usually hate people who are mad about games not getting a 10... but uh, WTF? Unless these graphical things really are a WiiU new problem, HOW DARE YE!

To the GALLOWS!

Why so low?

There are only a handful of NES games that truly deserve a 10. This is one of them.

This is the greatest travesty of a review in the history of video game journalism. Not only should this game have gotten a 10, but we should have coded higher numbers into the site database just to give them to this game.

a 9 out of 10 is low? i don't think so, dawg.

maybe in retrospect a 9.5 wouldn't have been so bad, but what is done is done. based on my own tastes and thoughts I determined that was the proper score to give. That's what reviewing a game is all about!

the graphical glitches didn't play a part in the scoring, btw. It didn't have an effect on my experience one bit but it is noticeable so I had to put it there.

I like SMB3, but SMW is the better game. And the graphical glitches are very noticeable in the 3DS version, yes enough for me to argue against a 10/10. There is even slow down sometimes (which is annoying in a platformer).

Yeah there are better versions of this game out there which makes a 10 hard for me to justify.

Pretty sure the game always had the graphical glitches - mostly on the sides of the screen. Back when the NES was out, most TVs were rounded off on the corners so you couldn't see as much of the screen. Nintendo used the invisible sides, and the scoreboard on the bottom to allow for more things on the screen with less flickering or slow-down. Now that TVs no longer have those rounded-off corners, the glitches are visible.

You guys shouldn't get upset over something that clearly never happened.


I'm one of the suckers that bought the Super Mario All Stars Wii Disc.  Although I played the NES version first, I always liked the SNES version best (Colors were a bit too muted for my tastes as a kid).

I bought the SMAS disc on Wii too (which is why I won't buy the Wii U version of SMB3). I vastly prefer the SMAS versions of the SMB games. I still think it's worth buying on 3DS though to have a portable version.

Ha ha ha ha!! A "game"? Really?! A game is something like Hide and Seek, Solitaire or Stalking. SMB3 is software, plain and simple. Get it right and stop trying to make it into something it isn't because what it is is lousy. It can't send e-mail, I can't upload songs to it, it doesn't balance my taxes, nor does it do anything to prevent viruses. If this is what Nintendo calls software, no wonder the Wii U is failing. SMB3 doesn't do anything and the fact that it was rated as 9 out of 10 makes me wonder if anyone here has ever actually used a software program of any kind before. Now, if you'll excuse me, I've got get back to hunting my prey.
