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

[-] Tuxman@sh.itjust.works 27 points 8 months ago

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...

[-] CosmoNova@lemmy.world 4 points 8 months ago

Given they were literally on the payroll of organized crime and happily profited off of blood money I‘d say it‘s quite ironic how they abuse the law.

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

Happy birthday

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

I am the same age as mario.... i have a shirt that says made in 85. Mario is 3 months older than me... Im getting to the top of the hill.

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

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

[-] razzazzika@lemmy.zip 2 points 8 months ago

Yeah... true. My shirt is wrong too. Its been 40 years since Super Mario Bros on the NES, but there was Donkey Kong in 81 and Mario Bros in 83.

Edit: Whoops happy birthday in 3 months then...

[-] razzazzika@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 months ago

My 40th is in 3 months. Mario is 3 months older than me.

[-] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 1 points 8 months ago

I don't think mario came out of the womb as an adult with a mustache

[-] InvalidName2@lemmy.zip 1 points 8 months ago

And yet you still play video games, curious.

[-] Xed 16 points 8 months ago

Nintendo makes great games but they are becoming very greedy

[-] Linktank@lemmy.today 16 points 8 months ago

Fuck Nintendo

[-] TheDemonBuer@lemmy.world 8 points 8 months ago

Welcome to back pain, Mario.

[-] rockettaco37@lemmy.world 6 points 8 months ago

Was just playing this on my Famicom earlier. :D

[-] ashley@feddit.fr 5 points 8 months ago

[-] hdnsmbt@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

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

[-] the_crotch@sh.itjust.works 3 points 8 months ago

Donkey Kong came out in 1981. Mario is 44.
