I think that SMB3 and SMW are pretty different, with the former focusing on faster action and smaller levels and the latter slowing the pace a little and adding more exploration and secrets. Both are fantastic but I think they're doing slightly different things. I love the idea someone made in the podcast (don't remember who; Julian maybe?) of Nintendo doing a Link Between Worlds-style follow up to SMW or Super Metroid, a sequel that plays on our nostalgia while pushing the series forward.
