Super Mario 64 DS or New Super Mario Bros

[Dark_Force]

I'm getting a ds lite in about two weeks, and I'm allowed only one game. I decided to get one of the games above. Which one do you think will be better in gameplay and length terms?

Thanks,

Super Mario 64 DS is longer, but I found New Super Mario Bros. to be better.

First of all, I need to ensure you're getting a DS Lite. Good.

Super Mario 64 DS is the longer game and New Super Mario Bros. is not just short in comparison but generally short. HOWEVER, Super Mario 64 DS is merely a port of the Nintendo 64 original and I'd advise going for the newer thing. After all, if you're getting a Wii, you'd be able to download it anyway.

Me? I've got Super Mario 64 DS and I'll be getting New Super Mario Bros. on it's launch day in England. But I think, if I'd been in your shoes I would have gone for New Mario not Old Mario. If that makes sense...

I've played neither game before, so being a port doesn't really matter to me. If, as you guys are saying, NSMB has better gameplay, I'll get thta instead ^^

I would go with New Super Mario Bros, casue it may be shorter but it is a great platformer, also it's fun being mega mario.

Super Mario 64 DS: It was fantastic playing that game with the inclusion of Luigi, since I thoroughly missed him in the 64 version. Plus it was automatically pretty cool since the original was so addicting.

New Super Mario Bros.: Classic Super Mario Bros. games= awesomeness. 3D graphics= awesomeness. Therefore, classic Super Mario Bros. + 3D graphics= Double Awesomeness. I really enjoyed this game, In fact I was just playing it a little bit ago.

New SMB gets more points for originality (heck, I never thought of redoing old Mario games with good graphics). And, overall, I choose New Super Mario Bros.

New Super mario bros.

Hard choice. I say New Super Mario Brothers, only because I played Super Mario 64 to death on the Nintendo 64 and the Nintendo DS...

I'd go with Super Mario 64 DS. The gameplay is longer and I like the free motion.

Easy, have you ever beat SM64 with all 120 stars? If yes, than get NSMB, if no than get SM 64 DS.

 

[DrSunnysock]

He's never played either. Get 64, it's longer.

If you want longevity, go for SM64DS. It's good, and seeing Yoshi try to swallow a rabbit is pretty funny, but it's generally a standard port. If you want gameplay, go for NSMB. While it's shorter, I personally think that it's more fun. Sometimes quality beats quantity.

New Super Mario Bros. A totally new side-scrolling Mario takes down a game you can just get for a helluva lot cheaper on the Virtual Console in a few months.

It depends, I like the New Super Mario Bros better but Super Mario 64 has more game play, is 3D and has alot of characters. I like classics though and find NSMB more fun imo.

Super mario 64 ds. I have never played ether but to me Super mario 64 ds looks way better.


I have misspelings

NSMB is very easy, IMO, so if you want a challenge, get SM64DS. However, NSMB is more fun though. You could go either way.

 

[Sharpshooter]

I have to say I really love the idea of Super Mario Bros DS. I haven't seen much of it but the 3d graphics really impress me. I play Mario 64 reguarly on the N64, so other than things like the inclusion of Yoshi it wouldn't seem to me as worthwhile in getting at the moment until I had more money.

New Super Mario Bros for sure. I like the sidescrollers better, and Super Mario 64 DS's control is TERRIBLE WITH THE D-PAD
