Depends what you mean by classic.

2D? Like 5-10 year... Super Mario Bros Advance series.

2D, jumping on head only? That's probably more accurate.

I havn't heard anything on this however. =/

Yeah, 2D. But the Advance series were just ports of previous Mario games.
Sorry, I forgot to add a link to my first post. It is there now so you all know what I am talking about.

I think Super Mario World was the last original 2-D Mario platformer, but I'm not too sure on that.

Anyway, I might consider getting a DS (Lite, probably) now that this is being released. Looks pretty awesome.

I believe it was also. I loved that game. Only beat it like, 18 times. What? I was 8! <.<

I saw a kid playing a DS today and it seemed pretty cool, though I don't know if I'll ever get one or not. Its one of three Nintendo systems I currently don't own.

GameBoy Pocket
GameBoy Advance SP
Nintendo DS

All hand helds and versions of what I already have. I wonder...

I still play that game to this day!

I play it occasionally, more like when I find time actually, but that's not the point.

I love that game. Best Mario game in my opinion. I dont really care about the whole 3D look as long as it's more fun to play.

Yeah, Mario really should stay as a 2D scroller, just like the megaman games. Well, I guess you can add 3D aspects, but it still should be a side-scrolling game.

I heard that Snake for MGS was going to be in this game. Is that true?

I think you're thinking about Super Smash Brothers Brawl. This threads about the new Super Mario Bros. for the DS.

I kind of liked how they made Mario into a platformer with Super Mario 64. Super Mario Sunshine was fun too. I think if they kept the whole series side-scrolling they would run out of ideas. I think they should do both like they are now. But I like the sidescrolling Mario games a lot better.

Sunshine was an interesting twist... annoying, but fun.
