How is Street Fighter 4 not a "retro" concept?  The original roster was even mostly comprised of Street Fighter 2 characters.  Should this game be priced the same as a Tekken game, which has more complex models and chracters with many more moves and animations?  Hell, a lot of people think that it only sold so well because of nostalgia of all things!

No, in my opinion SFIV is a very high quality game despite being retro and it's my understanding that it cost them a lot to make, both artistically, in terms of balancing and gameplay mechanics and what have you.

I don't think that's a fair way of judging SFIV. I do think it's fair with NSMB.

There you go with opinion again.  I felt the game was throw back that did everything possible to recapture old SF 2 fans, unlike a game like SF 3 that tooks chances.  1.) You don't have any actual numbers to reference how much NSMB takes to make 2.) Even if it's made on the cheap, many people see it as high quality, based on reviews and sales.
