"It's the true sequel to Super Mario World we've been clamoring for all these years. ... As the years go by, I appreciate more and more just how great a game Mario World truly was... and NSMB Wii improves on it in every way."
If it had online, then maybe. But without it I don't even think its worth buying with all the other *crag*ing awesome shit coming out right now. Yeah, it may be better than Super Mario World. Then again there are a lot of games better than Super Mario World.
That's almost exactly what IGN said in their 8.9 review, Popple. You can always wish there was more, but if what is there meets SMW standards AND adds 4 player multiplayer, that's all I need to hear. And no, there are no 2D platformers better than SMW.
If you consider LBP a 2-D sidescroller then I'd say I enjoy that more than any Mario game. It's been over a year since it's release and I still love playing it.
