Have you tried using your arcade stick with the WiiU? If it's USB it might work. Don't hold me to that though.

Does not work. It's compatible with 360, PS3, and PC. unfortunately not WiiU.

Yea I meant main Mario games on home consoles not games with Mario on it just so they can sell more like Mario Kart , Mario Tennis, Super Brawl... none of those are platformers.

I did forget about Mario Bros 3 for NES and as far as I heard Bros.2 was supposed to be a chinese only edition or something like that. But since SNES we havent seen 2 Mario platformers . Yoshi Island is more about Yoshi than Mario I guess , but even then it was a different game. With Mario Galaxy , its Mario Galaxy same game just updated and enhanced. They Could have at least made Mario Galaxy Yoshi's Universe so it would be something different not an extension

The Mario 2 in the US was a sprite hack of a different Japanese game. But Japan got its own Mario 2, known better as The Lost Levels from Mario All Stars.

Which was also made by Miyamoto.

That, and in a way it was kinda retroactively worked into the main Mario canon. Many elements, enemies, etc from the US version of SMB2 would show up in later games. Shy Guys are a big one.

True, many were in Mario RPG if nothing else.

Thinking about pre ordering Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate. Any idea where to get the best deal for both the 3DS and Wii U versions? Amazon seems to be offering $20 off if you buy both. So $80 total. Anything better around?
