I wouldnt bother playing or buying any nintendo stuff. It's all the same thing exept different worlds, and after releasing 10 games of the same shit, it all starts to blend into one.

If you want to play Mario, just play the original or Super Nintendo. Don't waste your money on something that was done 20yrs ago.

I play PS2 sometimes and I couldn't be happier with it. I get a huge variety of games, with Nintendo your choices are Mario Bros. and Pokemon. Hmm...fun.
