A gaming sub free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

I remember at the time that this released, just having a decent 2d platformer on the DS felt like a novelty. No, it doesn't do anything special or super interesting, but as someone that wasn't exposed to the older NES/SNES games really, this was a good introduction to the series at the time (which was admittedly completely overshadowed by Mario 64 DS around the same time).
Out of all the NSMB games, I think the original Wii release is probably the best one IMO.
I had the Mario Advance games, plus Mario Deluxe on GBC. For me it was a natural step with a modern feel. Personally I prefer Mario U, mostly for the rare levels with the unique aesthetics.
