Do you know what was the best selling video game of all-time? No, it wasn't Grand Theft Auto III, although it has sold a lot of copies. Despite the game's acclaim, it wasn't The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, either. If you been gaming for a while, odds are pretty good you've played this game. Heck, even casual gamers and non gamers alike have probably played the game. That's right, it was Super Mario Bros. You did notice I used past tense, right? Yes, Virginia, Super Mario Bros. is no longer at the top spot. So what's number one now? Wii Sports. I'm not really all that surprised. I mean, the NES sold a lot of units because it was packaged with SMB. The Wii sold like crazy because it was packaged with Wii Sports, a super accessible game that will appeal to ages 9 to 90. It took over 20 years, but something finally knocked SMB from the throne and it was another game from Nintendo, no less.

For as long as cheap unofficial copies NES units are still in market, nothing will defeat the original "Super Mario Brothers"
I still can't believe that Super Mario Bros. isn't the best selling game anymore but still..SMB is still and always will be the best game!
Fun fact: I've never been to the minus world.
What do you mean by "MINUS"?
In the original NES Super Mario Bros. there is a glitch in level 1-2. If exploited correctly, you can go to a never ending aquatic level that reads World -1-1, hence the term Minus World.
