I am error Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 On Wikipedia it said Mario Bros had a US release on the NES but it is also on many lists for PAL only games. So who is correct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's clearly wrong because Mario Bros was one of the last NES black box games to be released in the US in 1987. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 That's clearly wrong because Mario Bros was one of the last NES black box games to be released in the US in 1987. Actually, it's correct. There was an updated PAL release later on in the system's life that is closer to the arcade game. Redrawn sprites and a few other things. This updated version wasn't released in the USA.

I am error Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 So the bottom line is it did have a US release, but PAL territories got 2 releases?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebor Posted May 30, 2016 Share Posted May 30, 2016 So the bottom line is it did have a US release, but PAL territories got 2 releases?? Correct. The updated release, "Classic Serie" 1993 version, is a port of the original FDS game, Kaettekita Mario Bros. from 1988, minus the advertisements between levels and Nagatanien World, contains updated graphics and sound. Released by Nintendo of Europe for parts of the PAL B region, it is shown running below under NES NTSC hardware (Hence the speed increase in sound and video): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_6QSgdIsMw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I am error Posted May 30, 2016 Author Share Posted May 30, 2016 Wow okay, thank you. Very neat, it's too bad there wasn't a US release of the better port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
empsolo Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 Wasn't a form of Kaettekita Mario Bros updated and released on the GBA versions of Mario Bros that is found on the Super Mario Advance carts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted May 31, 2016 Share Posted May 31, 2016 (edited) Nope, Mario Bros. Advance is a completely fresh effort on the GBA and is essentially a remake/re-imagining of the original arcade game. And all of the rereleases have utilized the original NES port rather than the early 90's European version, such as the Famicom Mini Series release on the GBA and all of the Virtual Console releases for modern Nintendo platforms.
