It's two classic 2-d mario style games coming out at just about the same time, I don't see the disruption.

It has nothing to do with the topic of the thread, which is NSMB. And you've posted about it multiple times. That is being disruptive, because it's off-topic.
alright, but my points about length of game and sprite based graphics remain valid.

They lose their charm and sometimes look far worse than sprites

I think a good parallel would be the difference between traditional and computer animation. And are you honestly saying that the new art and graphics in New Super Mario Bros. or Mario Vs. Donkey Kong are more iconic and charming than that of 16-bit era Mario?

Now you're just putting words in my mouth. Did I ever say/imply they were more iconic or anything? No. Was only disagreeing that they've lost their charm and that they look far worse than sprites, because they don't.
You're a nostalgia-obsessed guy who prefers 16-bit stuff over modern 3D games, we get it.
no, I didn't say that at all I've enjoyed most of the post 64 era Nintendo games with the possible exception of Luigi's Mansion because it was kind of convoluted and lame and Super Mario Sunshine because I still haven't beaten it and actually think it's far too difficult for a Mario game. I just think Sprites work better for 2D games and while I liked the nostalgia factor of NSMB, I felt that because the graphics were prerendered that a certain charm and expressiveness had been lost. Possibly because the colors are less outlandish. The only 2D Mario game with prerendered graphics that I thought captured that charm was Mario RPG and that may be because of color or because the graphics look more like claymation than CGI.
I don't expect the new Wii game to recapture the feeling of the old games but I at least hope they make some improvement to NSMB in terms of color and expressiveness and that they bring back Koji Kondo to compose the music because NSMB's music was another factor I found inferior.

Yeah Rid hit the nail on the head right there, the fact is NSMB's has a much better style then 8/16 bit sprites. Get over it, you like the retro look thats cool, but my god man we need to move forward you can't expect a series to live in the SNES era forever.
Hey, I'm discussing the topic, if you've got a problem, discuss it with the moderator instead of calling me out. I've been posting on these forums since 2003.

Darth Jello, really. This thread really isn't for the discussion of other games. Which I said already. And nobody cares how long you've been posting on here; it is completely irrelevant and will get you nothing special.
I am discussing the game and what I expect from it based on what's come before.
