My Opinion: (every post in here is purely opinions but I wanted to make it clear that I am not stating these as facts or trying to)

NSMB DS vs. NSMB Wii
Sales:
DS Obviously will have higher sales for a long time, but after 2-3 years (or 1-2 if NSMBWii takes off better than MKWii) this will start to trail behind the Wii version and the Wii Version will end up selling more. This process will be quickened greatly if Nintendo releases a New Super Mario World on the DS (god I hope so).

Score:
The Wii version will be criticized for not doing online (which the DS version doesn't but isn't expected to), the Wii version will be criticized because it is a remake/sequel and will be seen as too much of a rehash for some critics, the Wii version's new built in strategy guide feature will not go over well with critics (but I suspect will be popular - as are strategy guides now).

All in All I expect the Wii version to be slightly more fun for me (yoshi, 4 player coop and 80+ levels! are you kidding?). I also expect NSMB DS to end somewhere between 18-21 million in sales while NSMB Wii ends >22 million - but again I am only basing this off of my educated opinion.



Currently dreaming of: DKC4 or Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (classic 2D platformers) for WiiWare, Smash Bros. for DSi, New Super Mario World for DSi, a Wii remake or true sequel of Final Fantasy Tactics.

One down, hopefully more awesomeness to come.
