Is New Super Mario Bros. for DS the pinnacle experience for that system? 

Yes. It is. Because the DS its a portable system. NSMB for the DS is fast, fun, simple, great. Everything a portable game should be.

But for a home console? S t e p   b a c k w a r d

I want to play the game as much as the next guy, but we gotta be real here: this aint a hardcore triple A offering for the holidays. Nintendo can make mistakes, and here´s another one.

Jumping the gun much?

A lot.

But the release date is coming fast and we will see if i was right

But take note: the game will sell kinda well, less than Galaxy, more than Wii music. But more importantly, it will fail at regain momentum for the Wii.

Nobody will buy a new wii to play the game. Aint moving a single new unit.

Selling more like Wii Music than Mario Galaxy? Well for that we can just look at the Preorders. Accoring to the latest figures NSMBWii is at about 400,000 pre-orders in America alone with 3 weeks to go until release. Galaxy debuted at 600,000 in America. Wii Music debuted at 76,000. I think NSMBWii will have an even better debut that Galaxy even and will continue to sell well after it's released.



"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."
