The NES lasted longer than the other systems (7 years), which I think is the biggest reason why it got two real Mario games. (SMB2 in Japan was, I understand, more like SMB1 Expansion Pack; SMB2 for us was, of course, a drug trip.)

So unless the Wii lasts way longer than the 5 years the SNES, N64, and Gamecube all did, I am going with "No." But hey, maybe if the Wii crushes its competition it will last longer despite the then-ancient hardware. In that case I would say "Probably yes."

Look at it this way: SMB3 launched in Japan in 1988, 5 years after the NES came out. If the NES had been replaced in the same timeframe as the later systems were, that game would have been the next system's launch title instead.

P.S. a.l.e.x59: 4 Mario NES games? Do you mean SMB, jSMB2, aSMB2, SMB3?

My advice to fanboys: Brag about stuff that's true, not about stuff that's false. Predict stuff that's likely, not stuff that's unlikely. You will be happier, and we will be happier.
