Daily reminder that we can safely delete the shitty NES version of 3 from history and that SMAS is the based and definitive edition.

Here we go. The snes version is better and you know it. Do you hate Shinobi 3 too?

>>5798984
Shinobi III and NES Mario 3 have soul
SNES? No

^gross

The differences actually make me prefer both versions more, insteada of having to just pick one. Why not both?
When I got All Stars back in the day I remember thinking smb2 looked the best out of all the remakes on the cart. The detailed and colorful background graphics on the first impressed me.

I first played mario 2 and 3 on the gba but I prefer the music and graphics of the originals.

>>5798917
Who the fuck cares? The original still exists and is easily available.

Can we discuss how the original japanese version of SMB3 is better? It's actually challenge since any damage turns you back into small mario.

>>5799082
Yep. Mario 3 JP > Mario 3 >>>>>>> All-Stars >>> GBA

>>5798917
>generic, soulless
stopped there

>>5798991
>soul
Are you crazy?I agree that SMB3 sounds more interesting than SMAS,but to say something about the kind of soul it's stupid

>>5798917
I mean, you're not wrong, and I do agree that SMB3 looks better on NES the same way Kirby's Adventure looks better on NES (no clutter, simple and easily readable pallette, no gradients etc.), but the way you phrased it with the whole "soul/soulless" shit makes me wanna puke.

>>5798991
>>5799179
Anyone using the word "soul" as a buzzword to say 'I like this thing and I look deeper into it than I need' can have his opinion get discarded.

This. How about OP brings something interesting to the table ? This meme-tier "daily reminder" shit is just boring as hell.

>>5799475
Dont make me post the World 7 music from All Stars
/vr/ doesnt deserve the cruelty

>>5798917
I think maybe you guys are less interested in playing games and more interested in just being derisive in general but can't actually hit any hard hitting controversies, instead swinging for low-hanging fruit only you could possibly care about, like "they changed the colour of the caves" or "now the blocks have rounded edges" or "but muh clouds"
I'll give you that the lego egypt is retarded but so is throwing mushrooms at a snake, you fuckin' absolute nonce

This is why modern gaming is where it is; rather than talk about the actual game, you idiots took a collection pack of classics intended to bring them to modern accessibility and decided to bitch about cave colours

>the last one
Wtf is this

>>5798917
I can't tell if this comparison is a troll on people who like the nes version better, or if whoever made it is half retarded because the snes version looks much better. I've played both versions growing up and never compared them, but this photo just shows a slight difference. Such a bad example of whatever you were trying to prove.

>>5799848
nintendo gave the gba extremely shitty underpowered sound hardware to cut costs and they were lazy with making most gba music to boot

>>5798917
The only good thing about SMAS is the OST

>>5798917
both are fine

>>5798917
I like them both. Why can't I play both?

All of them are good mfker

>>5799901
imagine being so spineless that you cant form a decisive opinion

You may have a point with 3 and 1, but smb2 is not an iconic game. It's a generic asset flip on the NES and the gba release actually makes it worth playing. Literally nobody gives a shit about 2/super mario bros USA on NES, so the remake on gameboy advance was the perfect way to fix the asset flip flaws from the original.

That's a sign that your soul is in an embryonic state; your strong reaction shows that there's a seed of soulfulness in you. If you're ever able to fully embrace it then you'll also naturally embrace the idea that soullessness and soulfulness are discernable characteristics found in creative mediums, and that there's more to aesthetic discernment than a pretty/ugly spectrum captures.

>>5800031
It's not spinelessness. He's just simple.

>>5799892
Sorry, that was meant for >>5798917

>>5799848
It's the Silent Hill version.

>>5800031
Read what >>5800069 said

You're not special. Whether you're actually so specially retarded that you actually believe I "can't* form a decisive opinion" or you actually just attempted (a pathetic attempt) to troll

>>5800082
>Seeing the good aspects in all versions of SMB3 means he's "simple"
Goes to show how complex _your_ thought processes are top kek

>>5800080
no two people could ever come to agreement on what necessarily even constitutes soul or soullessness so it's meaningless

i think whatever you're actually referring to here is probably something like clear effort and/or consistency

>missing charming holograms power ups in the sky
Holy crap i dont like all stars anymore, worst port ever 0/10

Someone posted World 7's music
I rest my case.

>>5800821
I dunno, I don't hate the All-Stars version.
The one SMB3 track that disappointed me on All-Stars was the ending theme. The drums sound much better on the NES version.

>supposed to be a pipe

it's supposed to be a cave. The pipe just leads there.

>>5799848
the GBA version sounds drunk

schizos should be hanged.

>>5801557
I always thought it was supposed to be a sewer tunnel.

Almost every aesthetically sensitive person recognizes it in most of the same things for the same reasons. It's a resonance not that unlike how people who aren't tone deaf instinctively know when notes are off key. Geeks are notorious for being totally oblivious to it. It's beauty that's deeper than cleanliness or impressiveness, usually because it captures some kind of life; either the life that's in the artist (something like how a child's drawing might capture its innocence or naivety), or that it's strongly conveying some kind of life through a non-living medium (often strengthened by some kind of intentional or unintentional imperfections), which when it happens seems like magic. The jokey shorthand for that is soul.

>>5802381
so...yes, you're referring to something that conveys a certain consistency, as in something that captures some kind of life. you could've just said that instead of pretentiously defending meme-speak

>>5799832
hahaha

>>5802381
>aesthetically sensitive
Do you mean autistic?

>>5803281
Isn't he describing something more like the opposite of autism?

>>5798917
I still think All Stars looks overall much better.

>>5798917
Based and redpilled. SMB3 especially is SOULFUL as fuck on NES, but generic and lifeless with an ugly palette on SNES.

>>5799082
That actually sucks unironically.

>>5798924
FPBP

>>5805540
Of course the faggot who not only adds the qualifier "unironically", but uses it in addition to "actually" holds the most faggoty opinion known to zoomer-kind. What an embarrassment you are to your species.

>>5800031
I remember that game, its tony hawk on gbc.

>>5805575
lol, they kept the progression of powering up and down in future games similar to the US version of smb 3 for a reason. It is a better balance. I am probably less of a zommer faggot than you easily. Castlevania 3 US is the best castlevania hands down and I bet you are a rondo of blood fanbaby. I bet you also prefer the snes to nes you cock sucking zoomer.

>>5805658
NES > SNES, CV3 > Rondo, and SMB3's only real failing is lack of difficulty which the JP corrects to a small degree at least. How you can think that the easier version of an already much too easy game--if not at release than definitely now, decades later--is a step up makes no sense unless you munch on male pubis.

>>5805693
SMB 3's difficulty was just right. It was an 8 world game with like 7 levels in each world. It didn't need to be the lost levels. It didn't try to overly punish you and it treated you fair. A LOT of people honestly consider it too hard, not that I agree with them. I really doubt you will find many people at all who will agree with you on this.
