Why Isn't Super Mario All-Stars on Wii Virtual Console?

It **was** released on Wii—but **not** as a Virtual Console title.

The Releases

• Super Mario All-Stars (SNES, 1993) – Original compilation.
• Super Mario All-Stars 25th Anniversary Edition (Wii, 2010) – Disc-based retail release (red box), includes art book/CD. **Not on Wii Shop Channel.**
• Wii Virtual Console: Sold *individual* NES/SNES Mario games separately (SMB1, SMB3, SMW, SMB2/Lost Levels).

So you won't find "All-Stars" in the VC list; the compilation was a physical Wii disc, while VC offered the components individually.
