  This is pretty obscure, but the Game Boy Advance remake of Mario Bros. (Not Super Mario Bros.) is more fun than the original.

  You can run, for one thing, and the controls are more responsive in general.

  It’s one of the games on Super Mario Advance, and one of the main reasons I originally wanted a GBA when it came out! I had the original Mario Bros. for the NES and thought it would be fun to have a portable version. I was right.

  They did a great job updating the game!

  The character art at the top of the Steam page is the right kind of unhinged for me!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What peripheral do you think should make a comeback?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was playing a lot of Final Fantasy VII when it first came out around 1996, and used a paper strategy guide.

  I got a one-handed controller (an ASCII Grip that was amazing for old JRPGs. I still miss having it for those kinds of chill games where I don’t feel like I need to be hunching over a controller.

  I was always super jealous of this controller but I couldn’t afford it when it first came out!

  I love ridiculous controllers.

  I happened upon the original for $20 in Wal Mart in 1995 and I’ve been playing it on and off ever since!

  One of the best games ever made.

  I happened upon the original game from Wal Mart in 1994 or 1995 and have been playing it on and off ever since.
