It seems like Europe is going to be getting the remarkably pretty box set that Nintendo is releasing to mark Super Mario Bros’ 25th birthday.
The Swedish-language section of the company’s website has posted some images of the contents of the package, complete with English translations of the original Japanese text.
While the box art is marked as “Not final,” the accompanying text lists a release date of December 3, so it seems like it could well be arriving in time for Christmas. It seems like all the contents of the Japanese box set are included – a soundtrack CD and a DVD with a history of the series.
The set also includes a disc with the game Super Mario All-Stars, a 1993 Super Nintendo title that bundled up remixed versions of the original Super Mario Bros., the slightly odd and not-originally-a-Mario-game Super Mario Bros. 2, the excellent Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels.
In Japan, the box set costs 2500 yen, which is about $30.
(Chris says: Expect this to be released in America sometime around the 12th of go to hell.)
