If you don't mind me saying so the Famicom version of Mario World is awesome, I never get sick of this one, I'm on it for at least an hour every night without fail - don't get me wrong it's flawed in more or less every department there is and it has more bugs than an OAPs mattress, but for what it's worth, like most of us who own an old Nintendo console, I have had this game on the Super Famicom since I can remember and I haven't bothered with it since around 1998, like most of us, do we ever bother sticking Mario World on for the Super Famicom? Exactly - very few of us will even bother with it these days - but believe me, it's a different story for Mario World on the beloved 8 bit wonder - but could this actually be technically possible...? Well funnily enough the Hummer team responsible for this masterpiece actually JUST ABOUT managed to pull it of..JUST...
To be completly honest,  I thought it was a miracle how they managed to pull of this game for the 8 bit Famicom.  Simply put, I've been truly hooked to Mario World on the Famicom since the day I bought it.  I paid £80 for mine a couple of years ago and I've seen it sell for a lot more money than that over the years believe me...it took me at least 12 months of hunting around before luckily I finally come across it at the time, personally - it was the best £80 of computer gaming I ever spent until I purchased Princess Rescue for the Atari 2600, which by the time I caught up with it (Nintendo basically forced Atariage to pull the game from production so the game was effectively cancelled, and only a hand full of these cartridges were in circulation before they ceased production making this game not only rare but very valuable). Princess Rescue was going for a stupid price, but it had to be bought.
For me, Princess Rescue was even better than Mario World for Famicom - 2 classic Mario masterpieces that by rights should have been a technical impossibility, for me anyway, over a period of time both games would gradually turn out to be some the best bits of Mario gaming ever devised...I might be completly wrong but at a rough guess I would go far as to say both of these 8 bit home brew Mario cartridges are true collectors items, to me anyway, both games are a technical marvel that should never have been, despite the many flaws and imperfections that plague both games, especially Mario World which suffers a lot - despite all these hang ups I believe it's well worth the asking price but Its fair to say that many a retro gamer would totally disagree with me, but it's a matter of opinion - for me both of these mario games are for the true hardcore gamer, a very unique set of Mario cartridges that, simply put, are not for your average Mario fan.  But wether you love it or hate it, one things for sure - Mario World for the Famicom and Princess Rescue for the Atari is a true keep safe for years to come.

I have another multicart the same as your 260, imo the Famicom version is much harder to find than the NES version.  Also of interest to potential buyers is that this cart contains many Hwang Shinwei games, which were never published elsewhere.

I don't think it's appropriate to sell new carts you bought off aliexpress as "rare".

Yeah, that's definitely not a good thing to do. :(

Anyone have pics of what the cart looks like? I have a ROM of this game but it uses dipswitches... which I didn't think the cart did.

Are you talking to Yakuza in this post?  I know it's old but he already has multiple reviews on ebays about selling fradulent bootleg games.  Now he has upped his game and blatantly stole my  money from me.  I want my damn $53 back Yakuza, you damn theif!!!

Post Merge: March 29, 2016, 11:10:42 pm

Yakuza is nothing but a thief anyway.  He never sent my game and ignores my messages demanding a refund.  Why the hell is this dirtbag allowed on here?  Who do I contact to get his lying ass shut down?

Post Merge: March 29, 2016, 11:16:57 pm

I hope you didn't listen to Yakuza.  He is a liar and a thief.  Where the hell is my game, Yakuza or money?  Thieving ass liar!!

Post Merge: March 29, 2016, 11:18:02 pm

Pay anything you want.  He will just steal your money.  Where is my game or my money Yakuza.  Thief ass piece of shit!

Post Merge: March 29, 2016, 11:18:33 pm

Yakuza is a thief and a liar so of course he will sell repros as rare.
