I still don't understand why anyone who cares about money would drop $30+ on what is literally the SNES ROM with a booklet.

Judging by my Facebook feed, we're the only ones who realize this. We're not the target audience for this release. You know the people who ramble on about "the original Nintendo," and how they want to play "the first Mario?" Yeah, this is for them. The non-gamer who remembers Mario.Originally Posted by Zing
A few reasons. I'd rather play the game on my Wii than either bust out my old SNES or play it on my laptop with its puny 17" screen. Also, it looks great in my display case. I need physical copies, as I hate digital downloads. Finally, for all of its faults, it's a ton of fun. I just beat SM2 US. Played it after work every night for a week and had a total blast, and next up will be SM3.
Nintendo is doing a second run, Releasing 3/13/11 Better hurry and sell your double copies now!!

Is it me or is that a different cover?

It's the same artwork the slipcover for my game has. It's not the outer cardboard box.
I'm going to pick atleast one up for myself this time but might pick up an extra copy just in case.

Hmmm.... I'm torn about buying it.
Future News from Nintendo: Due to the overwhelming demand for our cash cow Mario and it selling out on both prints, we will print one more final run. Ignore what we said the previous two times about it being the last run. Believe us this time. We swear this 3rd run will be it.
Are there any markings that indicate which is the true first run?
I got my quantities in today, about 30 pieces or so for Sunday.
Anyone think the value of this will hold for resale still? At first I wasn't thinking of grabbing a couple copies but I'll be relocating in a few months and could use some extra cash.
Does it look any different from the first release?
Because it makes no attempt to be great, it is therefore extremely great.

Nope, not at all. It looks exactly the same. I'm going to do a UPC / item code check tomorrow. They're in the sales system not to release until 3/13/11 and won't ring up until then. The UPC has probably just been re-flagged but I'm curious if the part numbers or copyright are different.
The cardboard shipping cartons were street date marked for 3/13/11 and they're fresh stickers, not like stuck over older stickers so it's not old warehouse stock or anything like that.
It checks out, it's all exactly the same as the earlier release.
Then I'm definitely going to buy two. I'm sure these will go pretty quickly and once again end up on ebay for atleast twice the retail price.

Yeah, I'm going to jump in for four. It honestly looks like it's going to be single shipment this time around.
Funny how "limited" sometimes really does mean "limited".
People laugh when I say I can predict the future. Anyway.
I remember when I was in college I worked at Target. My friends and I took every Starting Line-up Figure (remember those?), rare Star Wars figure, and Treasure Hunt Hot Wheels car we could find. We would take them right off the truck as it was being unloaded and buy every one (with 10% employee discount of course). Then we would sell them for HUGE profit on Usenet, eBay, etc. Eventually we graduated and got real jobs. Good times.

Anyone can make an accurate guess once in a while, it's how often it happens that matters.
I'm still waiting on that PSP Go with expanded internal memory you predicted would be released a few months later.
Wait, there were in-demand Star Wars figures since Target had been in existence?
I'd grabbed six. Heh. Wait and see how long it takes to go back up. Unless I need the money real quick.
Lum fan.
