Sonic mania plus the game malfunctioned3/31/2024 See, Nintendo could’ve rolled with that, but he was based on an Italian so give him that fruity, eccentric, pedophile accent. Mario’s Brooklyn accent and personality appealed to me more. And no, I cant stand Charles Matinet’s voice. Shit I thought Mario was a bad ass, then years later I see him wearing cloud costumes in Galazy 2, you might as well call it an oversized tutu. I watched all the cartoons where Mario had a man’s voice and an actual personality. By the time I knew what those games were, my dog bit the cable and broke the NES so I couldn’t play Mario again. I was a baby, I couldn’t want anything else. But yeah, all we had were Mario games cause that’s all my folks would buy. I didnt even know what I was playing until years later! Then we had SMB2 and then SMB3. My first video game was in fact SMB1 on the NES, but I was a toddler so I didnt even know how to hold the damn controller. Mario is the avatar of the working class (he’s a plumber, carpenter, doctor etc who gets to escape from reality and be a hero, save princesses and whatnot.) and its this avatar who rises up to the shitlord corporations and paves the way to… entertainment or some shit… idk. Before Donkey Kong, you had publishers trying to screw people over (kinda like now actually) and that’s a big part of Mario’s success. Mario in its entirety was not a content heavy series, it relied entirely on being a competently designed game. I didnt care about the lore, about its universe, anything. Its like “holy shit I’m playing a 3D video game!” I didnt give a fuck that it was a glorified fetch quest, that it was missing the fireball powerups, that it had puzzles, it was 3D, I was a kid, didnt matter. Never before seen (except with Virtua Fighter and Star Fox) and we all lost our shit. My only real interest in Mario started with Mario 64 for the same reason everyone else was digging it. Probably because NSMBW suffices as a decent replacement. Out of all the old games I go back back to play, the Mario games aren’t really a part of them. I think… I never gave a shit about Mario. I got Bored of it in less than 2 minutes. The last Mario game I bothered playing was that all-stars collection on Wii. This franchise had all the potential to be something really kickass, but Kirby is edgier than Mario. Why, for what? What does Mario offer that I cant find in other franchises? Puzzles and retarded costumes, please. I had to wait 1 whole generation to get a new Star Fox game and they fucked it up so badly, there’s no point in waiting. Im not waiting on any decent Mario game, I’m tired of waiting for Nintendo to get their acts together. I’ve got nothing better to write about atm, the Nintendo Switch bores me, and I already talked about why Sonic Mania is pissing me off. Its nothing personal, I’ve become something of a lazy bastard after being… out of it for 2 years. I dont normally do requests, I honestly had no intention of making a post about it. This was originally a request or suggestion by a Spengebab.
