As some of you might remember, I've said a few times that I don't like Super Mario Bros. 3. I downloaded it from the Virtual Console a few months ago, played it, got frustrated with it, and stopped playing it for a few months. Recently, I started playing it again after I learned how to get the warp whistles, and so once I started playing it again, and you know what? I actually enjoyed it A LOT. I finally get why people like it so much now. It's the best Super Mario Bros. game, but I still love Super Mario Bros. 2 (more so than the original SMB). I still like Super Mario World more, but I still love Super Mario Bros 3. It's tough, and it can be a tad bit frustrating at times, but it's still one of the best Mario games ever. Once I got used to its difficulty and became more patient with it, I grew to like it a lot.

Aside from my babbling about SMB3, I've been contemplating my next DS purchase. I'm trying to decide between Yoshi's Island DS, Pokemon Platinum, Pokemon Heart Gold, and Sonic CIassic Collection. What do you guys think? Whatever I decide to get will be my last purchase of the year, so I need to decide wisely.
