I agree with much of what has already been said by others ie as a veteran mario fan from the nes/snes era, I gotta say the nsmb games don't quite live up to the legacy set by the classics, and, yeah, the 3d mario games seem superior to the 'new' line in every way (we all know ninty only make the 'new' line of games to keep that amazing cash flow coming...look at how quickly they announced nsmb 2 for 3ds when that machine was doing poorly!!!! 'Don't worry mr investor...we got a new 2d mario game comin' out real soon heheh!')...

Having said that, I do tend to prefer the console versions of the 'new' line over the ds/3ds versions...the wii u version is (so far) probably the closest any of the 'new' games have come to genuinely living up to the standards of the nes and snes mario games...
