Are they just talking about Super Mario Bros.? Because Mario is like 44 now.
TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
Yes. Super Mario Bros (pictured) came out in 1985.
That was 40 years ago.
jj4211@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Right, but it says “Mario”, and that was not the first game that featured the character.

I am the same age as mario… i have a shirt that says made in 85. Mario is 3 months older than me… Im getting to the top of the hill.
the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
This meme is a lie. The first appearance of Mario was donkey kong in 1981.
razzazzika@lemmy.zip 2 weeks ago
Yeah… true. My shirt is wrong too. Its been 40 years since Super Mario Bros on the NES, but there was Donkey Kong in 81 and Mario Bros in 83.

My 40th is in 3 months. Mario is 3 months older than me.

I don’t think mario came out of the womb as an adult with a mustache

And yet you still play video games, curious.

Fuck Nintendo

Nintendo makes great games but they are becoming very greedy
TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
When the OGs are retiring and dying off, the next generation is always greedy for their money.

Happy 40th Mario! Birthday Bros. Entertainment!
Someone definitely got a stroke making this.

Welcome to back pain, Mario.

I still have the Mario35 game. Though it's not playable. But i do have the 3D All-stars game, and it works great. So stupid of them to sell that as fomo. They could've been taking in money for years on that.
Tuxman@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
You want a ripoff?! The 25th Wii game! It was straight up a SNES rom of All-Stars (and not even the revision that included Mario World) 😅
TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
I bought that at a pawn shop for $20 back then.
PerfectDark@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’m a sucker for a slip-case, though. And this one looks really nice!
prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 weeks ago
Even worse is that they just announced that they’re releasing a Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 collection (and it’s $70 on the eShop).
So if you got 3D All Stars, you only got Galaxy 1, and if you want to play 2 on a modern system (without emulation), then you need to buy 1 again.

Low key kinda glad they made it a FOMO game cause the game fucking sucks, so when I sell it for hundreds of dollars in a couple of years I won’t feel bad about it at all.
TachyonTele@piefed.social 3 weeks ago
How did it suck? It's three critically acclaimed games for the price of one.

It’s just a picture? Or is there more to the post?
the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 2 weeks ago
Donkey Kong came out in 1981. Mario is 44.
hdnsmbt@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
You’re trying to tell me a baby starred in that game? A literal baby, fresh out of the womb? Get your math straight.
DudeImMacGyver@kbin.earth 3 weeks ago
Shame about Nintendo becoming such a shitty company though...
Tuxman@sh.itjust.works 3 weeks ago
Couldn’t agree more
Good thing we have 40 years of history to play through instead of giving them new money 😁
taiyang@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Given their lawsuits, emulation is 100% the right way to piss them off. Lol
carotte@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 weeks ago
becoming?
chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Nintendo’s always been litigious and controlling of their brand. What they haven’t been (until recently) is price-gouging peddlers of derivative schlock resting on their laurels. They used to be afraid of low-quality games and rehashes diluting their brand (they witnessed the carnage of 1983). Now they just don’t care.
Zorque@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I’m sure when they were a hanafuda maker they were a little less litigious…
Vitaly@feddit.uk 2 weeks ago
The fact that they killed a few emulators kills them for me
