I\xa0think\xa0most of our listeners know I'm a Mario fan-boy. We've covered most of his games from the old days, with Super Mario All-Stars\xa0 being a rare exception. I know this is a\xa0phenomenal collection of\xa0games, and you probably know it, too. But we've already covered all the included games in\xa0greater detail on their own episodes of the podcast. I wasn't sold there was enough meat on the bone to\xa0justify talking about them all again.\xa0\n\n\xa0\nBut then I started replaying it, and remembered just how incredible this collection is. Better graphics, better music, save files, a never before released (in North America) Mario game. Super Mario All-Stars is phenomenal, and dammit, it's time to give it its due on RTG.\n\xa0\nDavid Rae makes his triumphant return to the show this week. He was my guest for the Lost Levels, Super Mario Bros 2, and Super Mario Bros episodes, and we talked about what made this collection special, what other NES games would have benefitted from the All-Stars treatment, and whether or not these games are the greatest remasters of all-time...\n\xa0\nAnd before we star is all the way up, I stumble through another edition of the 'Remember The Game? Infamous Intro'!\n\xa0\nThis week, I answer a bunch of "will this game ever get an episode of the podcast?' questions. Why do I hate Assassin's Creed? (I don't.)\xa0And what games have let me down and surprised me the most over the years?\n\xa0\nPlus we have another round of 'Play One, Remake One, Erase One', too! This one features 3 SNES platforming greats: Donkey Kong Country, Super\xa0Mario World, and SMW2: Yoshi's Island.\xa0\n\xa0\nAre you on social media? Of course you are.
