Funny how we make all this progress and pack a ridiculous amount of processing power in a handheld device, only to then put in a bunch of extra effort just so we can play Super Mario World on yet another device.

Maybe it is the game being good, maybe it is just nostalgia,

With 240 million sales, there's probably a little Mario in each of us. New releases and/or perpetual emulation of Mario games is the one constant we can expect to find in future generations of devices with new and old generations of people alike grabbing coins and jumping on Koopa shells.

Yes, though the new Super Mario Bros. Wii is surprisingly good, and not just a copy of Super Mario World.
