Shame about Nintendo becoming such a shitty company though...

Couldn’t agree more
Good thing we have 40 years of history to play through instead of giving them new money 😁
Given their lawsuits, emulation is 100% the right way to piss them off. Lol
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.
I'm sure when they were a hanafuda maker they were a little less litigious...
Given they were literally on the payroll of organized crime and happily profited off of blood money I‘d say it‘s quite ironic how they abuse the law.
The fact that they killed a few emulators kills them for me
Happy birthday
... and now you're getting sued due to unauthorized use of game assets...
Are they just talking about Super Mario Bros.? Because Mario is like 44 now.
Yes. Super Mario Bros (pictured) came out in 1985.
That was 40 years ago.
Right, but it says "Mario", and that was not the first game that featured the character.
That's literally the box art for Super Mario Bro. (1985)
You playing concerned and ignorant doesn't change what it is.
The first appearance of "Mario" is in Donkey Kong (1981) where he is named "Jumpman". The first game in which the character is named "Mario" is Mario Brothers (1983), an arcade game. Mario didn't become a household name until Super Mario Bros. (1985) on the NES.
That's cool
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.
This meme is a lie. The first appearance of Mario was donkey kong in 1981.
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.
uhm anyway belated happy birthday :)
Edit: Whoops happy birthday in 3 months then...
My 40th is in 3 months. Mario is 3 months older than me.
Nintendo makes great games but they are becoming very greedy
When the OGs are retiring and dying off, the next generation is always greedy for their money.
Fuck Nintendo
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.
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) 😅
I bought that at a pawn shop for $20 back then.
I'm a sucker for a slip-case, though. And this one looks really nice!
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.
How did it suck? It's three critically acclaimed games for the price of one.
The collection was fine. There are speed runners who weren't happy about the version of Mario 64 that they chose to use because you can't do backwards long jump.
I think most of the hate is due to that. Also the lack of Galaxy 2 was questionable.
That's just how bad Nintendo is at porting their own games! There's constant FPS dips, and the input lag is so bad that you can literally see the delay without needing any equipment to measure it. It's so bad in Mario 64 that it renders the game unplayable, leaving you with two games can actually be played (but just barely so. They still have input lag, and it's much more difficult to control the water gun in Sunshine since the Switch doesn't have analog triggers).
I much rather play these games in an emulator. At least they'll run properly.
Interesting. I didn't have any delay with my 8bitdo. Thanks for the info.
I know the Zelda emulation they used was horrible.
Was just playing this on my Famicom earlier. :D
happy birthday mario🍰🍰🍰🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🍰🍰🍰
Donkey Kong came out in 1981. Mario is 44.
You're trying to tell me a baby starred in that game? A literal baby, fresh out of the womb? Get your math straight.
