SMBX is freaking amazing. It still bloody is.
All of the little quirks and flaws in it can be worked around. I think it'll hold up for a long time next to Lunar Magic, and lunadll will improve SMBX's potential considerably further. I'm vastly certain we don't need Nintendo itself to bail out this community, so I don't think it matters that they won't.
Not to mention Wohlstand's engine which if you know is supposed to be 100% compatible with SMBX files. Its looking quite promising.
Plus, SMBX is always going to be more appealing to someone as this doesn't really require any special knowledge vs LunarMagic where it can involve hacking, asm, etc.
