The first 2D Mario platformer for a home console in over 15 years. Though it has single-player, it focuses heavily on cooperative multiplayer, allowing up to 4 players to play simultaneously. This game also premiered Nintendo's Super Guide hint system.
For me this one is way better. The DS one seems lacking in comparison. Though I will admit, I like that there's more to do with the special coins on the DS version.
The DS version is better. I hate controlling my character with the wiimote held sideways because it feels very awkward. Also, the lack of retro gamepad support killed this game for me. IF........and a big if we could play this game (including the propeller suit) with the retro gamepad only then would I say yes this game is better than the DS version.
New Super Mario Bros for the DS is better. Simply because it was original. I know this sounds horrible, and Super Mario Bros Wii has a great level design throughout, but NSMB on the DS just felt fresh when it came out, playing this is more like having a stain on your T-Shirt and hiding it up with your Jumper.
It most definitely is, but I only wish it came out on DS. It would have made more sense, as the reason I played so much of the first New Super Mario Bros. was because it was a great portable game that I could play anywhere.
I personally prefer the DS version. I mean it was just more shocking at the time that you could play a new sidescrolling Mario game, with the Wii game it just seems like Novelty. Don't get me wrong it was fun, but more like a 3/5 for me.
