    Donkey Kong came out in 1981. Mario is 44.

    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…

      The fact that they killed a few emulators kills them for me

      This meme is a lie. The first appearance of Mario was donkey kong in 1981.

    Are they just talking about Super Mario Bros.? Because Mario is like 44 now.

    source
    • TachyonTele@piefed.social ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      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.

    Nintendo makes great games but they are becoming very greedy

    • TachyonTele@piefed.social ⁨20⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      When the OGs are retiring and dying off, the next generation is always greedy for their money.

    Welcome to back pain, Mario.

    Happy 40th Mario! Birthday Bros. Entertainment!

    Someone definitely got a stroke making this.

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

    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.

    • prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ 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.

      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!

    • Psythik@lemmy.world ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      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 ⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        How did it suck? It's three critically acclaimed games for the price of one.

      What in the world could you nitpick about this picture?
