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

    Happy birthday

    ... and now you're getting sued due to unauthorized use of game assets...

    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.

    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) 😅

    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.

    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.

    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.

    You're trying to tell me a baby starred in that game? A literal baby, fresh out of the womb? Get your math straight.
