Woah, Lani Minella has a lot of voices in Nintendo. That´s what SEGA gets for firing her for no reason.
On topic: I really like NSMB Wii, but, as usual, what I don´t like is the people who praise this game at the expense of bashing another one, the DS game in this case. Sure the level design is a little tougher, it has Yoshi and 4 player game but I´ve recently re-played NSMB DS and, while I admit the levels are more intrincate in the Wii game, I don´t see THAT MUCH of a difference. The style, gameplay and all is the same. While the Wii game is better, that does not make the DS game BAD like I´m reading on most forums these days. The DS game still has the star-hunting battle mode (may I rmeember that a handheld usually has it more difficult to get good multiplayer, so in this case, while not bing that good, the DS multiplayer is still good), the exclusive power ups like the Mega Mushroom and the holy Koopa Shell, and you can play as WEEGEE in the single player mode, unlike in NSMB Wii which forces you to play as Mario, unless you selec 2-p mode, and purposedly kill Mario.
Also, a lot of the complains about the DS game are about features which are also shared with the Wii one (kinda like the partners in time or MK DD bashing compared to their sequels, lol):
-The DS one gest bashed for being too generous with the extra lives, but the Wii NSMB is even MORE generous with the extra lives: random Toad rescuing, Yoshi´s eggs, the mid-air spin makes easier to get to the top of the flagpole (easy 1-ups) etc.
-The DS one is bashed for being easy with the wall-jumping being a life-saver. In the Wii game you still have the wall jump, but now you gotta add the mid air spin, the propeller suit( unlike the DS game which didn´t have a flying power up) and the classic Yoshi "betrayal" (aka, jumping out of Yoshi)
This can go on and on. I really like NSMB Wii but I don´t see the reason to bash the DS game. It´s like there are people who can´t truly praise a game if it´s not at the cost of bashing another one.
Or maybe I´m just too possitive against games.
I dunno.
