Will we be able to play this co-op? Was that included in the previous Mario Advance VC releases?

It feels like Nintendo is really hitting its stride with the VC stuff and releasing constant quality now on a weekly basis. It's strange as many are anticipating the NX for this year or early next year.
Why didn't they do this at the start of the Wii U's life??

Pretty cool that they are adding the E-reader stuff but i wouldn't hold my breath for any of the promo levels from corocoro or the B dash de kakenukero level. Not sure if the are adding the switches and if so how will they even work, if they are going to be added to the rom. The switches required you to scan the card to turn them on & off.
Because then you'd be asking why Nintendo isn't releasing Virtual Console games anymore.
38?? That's like half a whole new Mario game. I'm so excited for this.To be perfectly clear: the North American VC release includes all 38 of the regular and promotional/special e-Reader levels that Japan got - go to Level Card and they're all unlocked and available at the same time, at once, the Japan-exclusive ones with fancy new English-language names.

The simultaneous multiplayer in the Mario Bros. Classic mode is not available. In SMB3 itself, you can start a save in "Mario & Luigi" mode and handle that like a two-player game with one controller. Mario and Luigi control a little differently (Luigi has the high-jump, low-traction thing), but you've got two sets of lives, two sets of items. It's basically SMB3 2 player mode without the battle segments and with a slightly different Luigi. Or one player can play both characters with the different play styles, whatever floats your boat.
Edit: Also FWIW, since this game came out so late in the life of the GBA, graphics aren't really brightened/made pale for the original GBA screen, so no worries about that. Color saturation looked great to me on the Gamepad and an SDTV.
Good to hear.
That being said, does it include the other e-Reader features, like being able to change the base game with things like vegetables, being able to use the Cape (!), and more modern Fire Flower rules (enemies turn into coins)?

I'm more excited for this than almost the the rest of the 2016 lineup for video games.

Well, they did included B-Dash level in this release but with a different english name!!
At last our prayers were listened in order to be able to play that holy grail level
Got SMB4A today, as someone who spent quite a bit of money a few years ago buying and collecting all the complete sets of the American SMB 3 e-cards, having all of the U.S. e-levels plus the Japanese levels is a bargain and a huge bonus well worth the $7.99. Until now, emulated and region converted printable e-reader files were the only way to enjoy the Japanese stages on an American copy of the game. Also, as said before, "No Time to Dawdle" is based on "Mad Dash" which was an ultra rare e-card only available as a promo in Japanese manga shops, you couldn't even take the card home, the player was only allowed to scan it. Due to this, it was the only SMB 3 e-reader level which wasn't emulated and made available as a printable e-reader file like the other stages. It's a great little stage, I still haven't been able to get all 5 gold coins on it.
Really? That doesn't sound too bad.
Actually we managed to find someone who had the level in the save file and I released it as a Level Card. Too bad no one really noticed it.
My only issue is that sadly, I don't think theres a way to get some of the fun effects of certain ecards like the hard mode and using the cape feather in SMB3. Otherwise, having access to all the Ereader levels is a real delight!
The levels got pretty nuts.
Yes, that's Mario Bros 3 with Mario Bros 2 Turnip pulling, with Mario World Charging Chucks. Makes Mario Maker look tame by comparison.

It's a shame they left out the Cape, Boomerang, etc, but bringing back all the limited levels is pretty great.
This is why when people said, "Mario 2 Mechanics won't work in Mario Maker!" I thought, "But they already did it before..."
Also is it me, or do Mushrooms move the wrong direction? I thought they always move right, but in this game, they seem to always move left?
Whoa, Luigi feels crazy.
I don't remember him being this hard to control in Super Mario World Advance.

Amazing. I don't usually buy VC stuff and already have all of the e-reader levels scanned on my cart, but I'll rebut just to support the decision to include them.
Yep. Not officially, but I have user-printed translated versions of the Japanese + rare US cards that actually scan plus a nearly complete genuine set of all US cards.Wow. Even the Japanese cards?
This has those too.

Together, they contain all of the levels.
I did a post on them with pictures a few months back in the Retrogaf Unite thread but can't link you right now because I'm on mobile.
Correct. You have to rescan when you fill up all of the the slots.Wait, doesn't the cart actually only fit 32(+1) levels though?
M2 is doing the emulation for these, right?
Yes. Wish they did NES and N64. They're absolutely horrible.
Absolutely horrible is kind of an overstatement. NES is pretty much a straight downgrade from Wii, unfortunately, but at least N64, despite the darker colors, has better IQ.
It is absolutely horrible; more so if we have to pay to 'upgrade'
