NSMB is what made me become more of a Sony person. It was the start of Mario's platforming stagnation and the final nail in the coffin for me along with Nintendo's refusal to advance their series (for example voice acting in Zelda games - Link can still be silent but come on, everyone else can talk, it's just stupid now).
In regards to the first post here though... man, really you're complaining about the plot? I don't care about the plot - just make the games actually "new"
It's like we had Yoshi's Island and then... NSMB. And that was fine as a one off throwback (well it wasn't, it was a back of crap but still) but now it's just a case of how many times they can pump out the same game. Mario games we're never easy, why they've suddenly became Nintendo's kiddy lift into the magic world of gaming I don't know - but if they want to do that with Mario then include a hard mode or something, anything - just make them relevant to people over the age of 7 again.
I want to play with you Mario, but your just no fun anymore.
