Very nice to see Nintendo actually put them in! I remember that being very doubtful!

Might wanna post where it came from: https://www.nintendo.co.jp/titles/20010000008346
Select them in the data screen apparently: http://nintendoeverything.com/super...ii-u-vc-release-will-support-e-reader-levels/

Game-changer. I've always wanted to try those out!

 

[ShadowElliot]

Just what I needed!

 

[jholmes]

Whoa, no way. Maybe I won't bother playing them on Mario Maker after all...

 

[Platy]

HOLY MOTHER OF MIYAMOTO

Instant buy day -1 WHERE

 

[CDX]

When will NoA put this on the US eshop?

I want it.

 

[Seven Force]

Hell of an incentive to buy the Virtual Console version, then. Hopefully the US/EU releases follow suit.

Ha. This is cool though.

 

[DownGrader]

Man, when Nintendo does patch things in VC releases, it does it right. Hope this will come in EU!

 

[MisterHero]

Holy shit, I bought all the SMAdvance games. I thought I was done buying them lol

That's pretty cool. What abot stuff like the Cape?

Well that's where I found it, and the source is there. I wanted to prioritize an English page that said the bit, I can't read Japanese.

Added your post to the OP anyway. Thanks!

 

[Seven Force]

Though looking at this, I wish they had done the same for other VC games that had a good amount of content originally locked behind a peripheral. (Mario Tennis GBC comes to mind)

Edit: Though M2 handles GBA stuff for Wii U, right? This was probably their idea.

I see what you did there.

 

[jacob armitage]

Couldn't be happier to hear that!

 

[I am Christina Aguilera]

FINALLY, AN EASY WAY TO DO THIS.

For better or for worse, as I understand it, these SMA4 e-Reader levels, along with the new slate of bonus levels in the GBA Yoshi's Island, were Nintendo's New Super Mario Bros. team's trial run on designing new 2D Mario levels from scratch after spending years on programming the Super Mario Advance ports.

Just what I needed!

Bravo

They actually re-added a mode in the Wii U VC version of Mario Tennis 64 that was cut on Wii.

Fake edit, it was Ring Tournament:

To be honest, there wasn't much sense in cutting it out - it just referred to a defunct web site.

It was kind of weird for them to cut that out in the first place though, considering it had no relation to any of the Transfer Pak stuff in the game.

 

[Zubz]

Cool! Hopefully they come with the power-ups, too; I always thought it was neat that you could get the Cape/SMB USA vegetables in the main game, as well.

 

[Nights Owl]

I'm.... actually surprised.

Wonder if when they release this in the States/Europe will we get the Japanese only e-Reader levels? I hope so.

This really is cool. Especially since it's pretty difficult to get to these levels *with* emulation.

I'm shocked, honestly. I really don't expect Nintendo to do these things.

 

[entremet]

You didn't only need an eReader but another GBA and link cable lol.

 

[Triple Da G.O.D!]

First Pokemon and now this...

You'd swear that somebody's listening to the people!

 

[Balb]

Were there Japanese exclusive cards for this game or no?

 

[alf717]

Cool! Wonder if US and Europe will get this.

 

[entremet]

Were there Japanese exclusive cards for this game or no?

Yep.

 

[blame space]

Pretty freaking cool. Is this coming to the US?

 

[Balb]

Yep.

Yeah that's what I thought. Hope the Japanese stuff is included if the game gets released here.

 

[I am Christina Aguilera]

Were there Japanese exclusive cards for this game or no?

Yep, somewhere around 2/3 of the (numerous) card levels stayed Japan-exclusive.

 

[Richie]

Freaking game changer, absolutely a day one purchase.

For the gaffers who wanna see what the fuzz is about, here's a showcase...

 

[BIONIC-ARRRMMM!!]

Pretty freaking cool. Is this coming to the US?

Yeah, same day as Zero Mission.

 

[d00p]

these the same ones already playable on Mario Maker?

 

[Platy]

Some were remade, but there are LOTS of features that the e-reader levels have that Mario Maker still don't have, like mario world ramps and vegetables

 

[Chiramii]

Just what I needed!

Haha, nice one. Will have to buy this, e reader levels is a neat addition.

 

[Anth0ny]

HOLY SHIT WHAT

NINTENDO NEVER DOES COOL STUFF LIKE THIS



RELEASE THIS SHIT IN NORTH AMERICA NOW

 

[Bass260]

Yo day 1.

 

[Zolbrod]

Ssssssweet!

Getting this day one!

 

[TreIII]

Holy crap!

I'll be making sure to get this one as soon as possible! I've always wanted to try the rest, since I was only able to try a grand total of one or two, back in the day.

 

[Oni Link 666]

Awesome! That's cool of them to do that. Most companies wouldn't bother. I still have a bunch of SMB3 cards and the e-reader. I played a bunch of these levels on GBA. I think I was only missing 1 or 2 levels.

 

[Madao]

okay, if they went and did this, the F-Zero X Expansion Kit is now viable to have on VC.

do it Nintendo. that's all i ever ask for.

 

[Hibiki Kurosawa]

Game-changer. I've always wanted to try those out!

Same. What's the consensus on them? Anyone know

 

[KingWool]

Yeah, same day as Zero Mission.

Welp...looks like we aren't getting this then

 

[Platy]

The world is not ready for 64DD virtual console

Yeah, the e-card levels get real weird.

 

[Nanashrew]

Same. What's the consensus on them? Anyone know

Weird, experimental and cool, some play with expectations. There are even simple things like beat the clock, exploration, mazes, lots of returning items and enemies from past games, even SMB2 USA like turnips and sand blocks. New stuff that also explores the tanuki suit abilities like turning to stone reveals hidden blocks. There's a lot of cool stuff.

This really has to come to the west with all the e-card stages. It is the definitive version of SMB3.

 

[JoeM86]

This was the reason I imported the US GBA version, then lost it when my sister insisted I loan them to her friend.

I really hope the e-reader levels come to Europe too

 

[foltzie1]

SMB2 digging mechanic GO!

 

[Celine]

Sales +1

 

[Shuggananas]

When will NoA put this on the US eshop?

I want it.

give them some time to localize it, at least a year and a half
