Happy 25th to Super Mario Bros.

I swear this has been the worst feeling old week ever. Super Mario Bros. was released on September 13, 1985.

I was just reading an article on Ars about OSX being 10 years old today. Time fucking flies.

Apple should throw a 10 years of obsolescence party. Now back to shit that had some relevance.

Two and a half decades ago, plumbers didn't wear nonslip shoes.

Not a whole lot for the price, but still pretty cool.

You have an iPhone.

I do. And it doesn't run OSX.

So, there!

I like the idea of the soundtrack and art book that I heard comes with this, but overall what a lazy fucking way to celebrate Super Mario Bros' 25th anniversary. When I first heard rumors of them doing a Wii release of Super Mario Allstars I was thinking that, maybe, they were going to update the graphics again, or maybe include more Mario games into the mix (Wishful thinking, but maybe include Mario Land or Yoshi Island on the disc). Instead, it's the shitty SNES Super Mario All-Stars ROM and, I'm assuming, it's wonky controls for Super Mario Bros and The Lost Levels that plagued the original release of Allstars.
What a disappointment.

Doesn't even have SMW!

Cool looking box, though.
