I still remember my neighbor getting SMB 3 for his 10th birthday.
The size of the box was a giveaway. We knew it was a NES game before he unwrapped it.
When we saw that package it was fucking ecstasy. The party was over and we all ran to the tv to put the game in and watch.
I didn’t have it myself either (until years later), but a neighbor down the street did. I remember all the kids in the neighborhood playing on that system.
IT’S THURSDAY YOU FUCK!!!
Post this kinda shit on a Friday so I can fucking dream.
It was Friday for over half the timezones on the planet when you posted that.
Do you have school tomorrow? 🤔
Some of us made the mistake of becoming teachers
“Do you want kids?”
“Yes! I want around 30. And then about another 30 two hours later.”
The 8 year old me would be overjoyed! This was one of my favorite NES games, and there were enough good NES games that the title of “one of my favorites” means it was actually cream of the crop.
The 45 year old me would probably not be as happy, since I’d rather go to bed at a reasonable hour and crappy quality fast food pizza sounds like it’s going to make me feel miserable if I have more than a slice or two anyway. Plus as awesome as SMB3 is and was, there are modern games I’d rather play at the moment if I were going to stay up all night.
Super Mario World was peak SMB for me. It took everything they did in SMB3 and refined it.
The only thing I think SMW was lacking was variety of powerups. You had fire and cape, plus Yoshi stuff. SMB3 had fire and raccoon, but also the weird, rare stuff like hammer, frog, tanooki, and the boot.
I don’t have a name for the emotion I feel when I think of a 45 year old buying Pizza Hut…but it’s some sort of sadness
Sometimes you want garbage pizza.
If you’re going to order bottom of the barrel pizza, why not get Domino’s? It’s the same grade, but also better.
Two very different pizza’s.
I remember the first time I heard of Mario 3 was in Nintendo Power issue 6:
“Mario will be able to fly, using a racoon tail as a propeller. Trust us. We’ll tell you everything as soon as we can. Keep reading Nintendo Power for the latest.”
At the time, I pictured him wearing a coonskin cap and flying that way.
I remember going to see The Wizard because it revealed Warp Whistle locations.
It showed one, right? checks scene
Yeah, Jimmy got the one in the first fortress. Savant or not, it never made sense to me he they knew there was one there right away, since he’d never played the game before.
Yeah, that’s not a great plot; one might even go as far as to say that it’s so bad.
It’s not a great movie overall, but I find it endearing regardless!
This is where selective memory wiping would be awesome . Can you imagine how awesome this could be to replace games like this, smw, and botw again for the first time (as long as there are no negative side effects from the process). I would love to replay the greatest heavyweights of Nintendo again for the first time.
You’re thinking small. Imagine being able to play outer wilds for the first time whenever you want. Or portal 2. Or inscryption
Meh, in my eyes the ones I listed are greater
Inscryption and Outer Wilds have unforgettable twists that will never be the same on any future replays. Portal 2 has some of the funniest dialogue ever.
Mario 3, Mario World, and Breath of the Wild all were revolutionary games, but offer nothing that wouldn’t be just as cool on a second playthrough.
Further, the existence of Mario Maker and Tears of the Kingdom would make a blind playthrough of older games underwhelming, unless you were willing to erase your memory of all games since the release of the target game.
I meant what I said. I would take hl2 over portal as well. Should have listed that one too.
Over portal? I agree. Over portal 2? Absolutely not
