For the 25th anniversary of Super Mario Bros., Nintendo is doing a little ROM hacking.
On November 11, the company will release a limited-edition Mario-red version of its Wii console in Japan. It will include an exclusive version of the legendary action game with altered graphics. For example, as shown in the one screenshot that Nintendo has released thus far, the question marks on the item blocks will be replaced with the number 25.

I kind of like the look of the red Wii. I find it very interesting that Nintendo hacked Super Mario Bros, and have it installed on this special Wii.
I appears that all they did was change some images in the graphics. I think it would have been cool to keep the game with the original graphics and the hacks, but also do an updated version that updates the graphics to Wii standards keeping all the levels original.
