Wow it's already been 20 years? Such fond memories as a kid. NES was pratically just Super Mario Bros. 1,2,3 for me, I played those games more than any other on the system. Well, I feel old.
 
Damn I feel old. I still remember playing my two favorite new games that they got in at the arcade in 1981-Zaxxon and Donkey Kong. Where did the years go? So umm Mario is older than 20 yaknow.:)
 
I still remember those long winter afternooms playing with my brother Super Mario Bros. No wonder why little brothers feel more acquainted with Luigi. Those are some sweet memories...
 
BUT IT'S NOT HIS BLINKIN' 20th BIRTHDAY!

(I'd argue about the birthday part in general, but I'm not sure as to the date Donkey Kong was officially released in arcades.)

Tell Nintendo that.
 
Maybe he is older than 24 but from all the arcades I saw around Central California(Fresno had quite some nice arcades back then) I'd say it was 1981,maybe even older if youre going by world wide debutes.
 
it's interesting that the smw mario sprites are modeled after the smb usa mario sprites. i hadn't noticed that before.

Yeah, what gives? Donkey Kong was out in '81, right?

Sonic > Mario

It surprises me how many people think such a silly thing.

Sonic was awesome on Genesis and has either been average or sucked ever since. I don't see how someone can think that 4 great 2D Sonic games which were all pretty much the same and the very mediocre 3D games are better than Mario 1-3, Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Mario 64, whatever. There's such a huge gap in quality.

3D Mario games > 3D Sonic games.

(I'd argue the same holds true for 2D games, but that's a 1990's FidoNet arguement.)

I think he's talking about the character though. And I agree actually.
 
Y'know, I decided against posting the Mario RPG hentai manga here for months. I think I'll continue deciding against it.
