B Ward,

Did you finish producing the DVD set of Captain N And The New Super Mario World? What is the correct release date for Fall 2007 of Captain N And The New Super Mario World coming out on DVD that I will get to complete the Super Mario cartoon trilogy?  What are the special features included in Captain N And The New Super Mario World? What does the cover art look like for Captain N And The New Super Mario World? Thank you. Have a good day.

Jonny

Brian,

      Cover art looks good. I'm just concerned about the source quality.Just for warning,does SMW have glitches of any kind as the episodes are playing?And does the dvd menu have a selectable feature where one can choose either captain N or a super mario world episode,or was shout! forced to keep the counterparts together for each segment? 

Do you mean the box, or the cases the DVDs are kept in?

It would seem that Shout! Factory just doesn't devote much money to making the boxes, so they might be of a bit cheaper quality than other boxes. I've seen other companies make some pretty nice quality boxes; I have the Angelic Layer Complete Collection, which is a thinpack collection like SatAM and others, and it features a nice solid quality box.

Please don't take this as a knock against S!F; I really appreciate their efforts and the work they do.

I personally like two thinpaks, as opposed to four, myself. It saves space, and it looks cool too.

When I think about it now, the post I made about box quality was in kind of bad taste, especially since I insinuated that it was S!F's fault somehow. I know you guys would never intentionally put forth bad products, given your excellent track record.

The only problem with digipacks is that it seems they would wear out easier over time than plastic thinpacks. All the folding and unfolding seems like it would take its toll after a while.

Brian should autograph every title he releases. Just kidding.

Sometimes I wonder why the ladder shows of the super mario bros series had less episodes than the others. The super show had 52,mario bros 3 with 26, and mario world with 13. But 13 episodes is hardly a series for anything.And if you look during the timeframe,the videogame itself retrieved high ratings.Which brings us to question: Why create something short term? Now,Mario World is the 2nd shortest cartoon in america as far as i know. Problem Child is the lowest with 8 episodes. My opinion on the matter is that DiC couldve produced more of the final series to better serve us and themselves.

The 1984 cartoon based on the toyline Sectaurs was only 5 episodes in all.

Robocop :the animated series was only 12 episodes also

Hahaha yeah thats right i forgot about that ol Chuck Norris toon, yeah thats right it was 5 episodes, I mean dont get me wrong Chuck Norris is awesome in his own right, but a cartoon with him in it? It was terrible, thats why it only ran 5 episodes, it aired 5 days in a row back in '85 , it got pulled after 5 days, but hey Mr. T even had his own cartoon back in '82 or '83 and it ran for 30 episodes, i can swallow Mr. T being in a toon easier than Chuck Norris, Norris back in the 80's needed to stick to making films like Delta Force, and Lone Wolf McQuade hahahha. heres a link to the Norris toon and what others thought.

Helgasboy,as a longtime die hard turtle fan, I recognized the samething after ive watched the entire season 5 when I bought the DVD on its release date. They missed the two part turtleoid episodes AND the season set is not in correct order. Now I'm furious. Ten to one Lionsgate adds those missing episodes with all of season 6 on their next release.If not,i'l be surprised.  It became frustrating the second I picked up the flaws in the set that I wrote a bad review in result of it. A wasteful release when everything was unorganized and incomplete.

Surprisingly, lionsgate provides episode lists depending on the release type. They did list the episodes on the back of the dvd sets for ninja turtles volumes 1-6 before switching to season boxes.Since then,the presentations are just fancy cover arts linked to the set amount of discs.But I wouldnt be surprised if they rushed through their dvd sets.

And speaking of misplaced episodes(for any show) if there are legal issues in regards to missing episodes,which im not doubting, consider it end of discussion. However, for shows like ninja turtles is a different story. The flagship website contains the official episode listings from 1-193 in correct order.The releases so far are aligned with what the site has posted with maybe some exceptions. Season 5 is the only one so far that didnt follow the relevant source.The site,so far, is the only one I trust and no less as much as it might not be the real case. True,the companies place episodes from the lists the producers tell them too,but comparing the accurate lists with what lionsgate slapped onto discs is alittle awkward.Licensing and legal issues are one thing,but aimably restructuring the lists suddenly leaves things into question...I just think lionsgate provided minimum effort to compile season 5 together just to release it for financial gain.Quantity over.

what is UDC? Does anyone know?

Hey Nintendolink I've been trying to see the boxart but I couldn't find it and I went to TVShowsOnDVD but didn't see it there either? I hope it looks nice.

B Ward,

           Knowing Captain N: Super Mario World is the third and final installment of the mario bros tv series, have you instructed the following crew members to max out their creative capabilities making the set into a masterpiece? Is this part of the reason why the set was originally pushed a few weeks back?

I wouldnt count on it. Shout! has season 2,but warner bros owns the rights to season 1 of DK and refuses to fork them over.

However,I would like to see shout factory work on saturday supercade. That would be special.

Well, there's only two possible things that would have to happen if we want to see a DVD Boxset come out:

1. Shout! Factory would have to hand the rights to Season 2 over to Warner Bros.
or 2. Warner Bros. would have to hand the rights to Season 1 over to Shout! Factory.

And since neither thing wouldn't even DREAM of happening, as Cranky once said, "there's two things I'm never sure of: Donkey and Kong!"
