I just ordered a Wii and was really excited to get a copy of Super Mario All-Stars Limited Edition.

Now that I have the system I went to purchase a copy of the title that pushed me over the edge to want one in the first place and cannot find it for sale at MSRP anywhere. Sure it's for sale on eBay... if you want to pay $80+ for a copy!

Are there any places still selling this at MSRP?

Stores have been getting new shipments in. Start looking in some GameStop's, Wal-Mart's, BestBuy's, etc.

Really? Most places on the web state there will be no further shipments nor can I find anywhere besides eBay to order a copy.

If anyone sees these in a store somewhere would they please let me know?

Best regards,

The Best Buy stores in my area are still sold out. At least, that's what their kiosks still say.

I was talking about physical store locations. Clearly, you're out of luck right now buying it online unless you want to pay a mark up on Amazon or Ebay for a copy.

But there have been no shortage of reports at web forums of stores restocking this game. My local Wal-Mart, for example, recieved a second shipment several days ago.

You have to get up and make some calls and check some stores, or be patient and hope retailers will be able to restock their online stores.

Hack your Wii and install the SNES game using a custom WAD (it's a channel, any Wii hackers out there will get what I said), it's much better than the Limited Edition (because the dev. manual is bad, I hear, and I know the soundtrack is... well... crap- it's bad) and cheaper!

I know Nintendo mentioned that this was a limited edition so I don't know how many shipments they will be making of this game before they stop. I'm just glad I picked up my copy in the middle of December. Still haven't opened it as it's games I've played before and I have a stack of other titles to play through first. lol (Doesn't everyone have this problem? lol)

Nintendo announced that they are doing one more run of All Star's and then putting the game away, never to be released again. All Star's will be available on March 13th, come with the same bonus's, and sell for the same $30 price tag.

CLICK HERE for Amazon's ordering page.

I ordered one just because I'd be kicking myself later if I didn't. I have no interest in playing this since I play All*Stars on my SNES, but this is a nice collector's item to have. Even with the re-release, I can't see this not being worth some money down the line.

SWEET, I'm definitely getting me one, I missed it when Walmart got it, and they just recently took the display down, I guess they got tired of me asking when they were going to get more copies in. :P

I saw a few copies at Target a few nights ago. I've said it before: I don't want to buy it. I have no desire to buy it. Why buy it when I already have these games X times over?

What did I do?

I bought it.

Haha, I know, right? I was tempted to buy another one the other night. Ended up walking out with something else instead.

Target has them. I put some out on the shelf a two Sundays ago. We had someone try to steal two of them and a Pokemon DS system last Sunday. I may pick up a copy as an investment.

Probably a smart move though - as a consumer screwed by such scenarios in the past by people buying up investments to resell later, watch your back. :P

I kid!

It was a limited edition. They did an initial run and later did a second several weeks later to meet demand. They announced that was it and that they wouldn't be doing a 3rd run.

I was on Amazon the other day and they had a listing for the game at $39.99, which is $10 over MSRP. Funny thing was that it was not being sold by Amazon but all orders were "fulfilled by Amazon"..... strange.
