Sometimes I wish the Nintendo Switch had trophies/achievements because you just know there'd be some fun objectives in the NSO retro games like Zelda or Mario, but then I bet it would take even longer for Nintendo to add new games to the various consoles.

Where's the button for "This trend is a stupid waste of everyone's time, and we're all dumber for knowing about it"?
roses are red
violets aren't blue
we use its name to mean purple
that should be your first clue

You can’t tell me that our Darkwing run wasn’t full of fan service. We even brought back Rabbit Racer. That’s a heck of a deep cut! #DarkwingDuck #SparrowandSilvanisDarkwingDuck #DarkwingComics #DarkwingDuckComics #FreeNewMaterialComing #RabbitRacer #DefinitiveDarkwing

The voice of the lady in the commercial was the original voice of Princess Toadstool in the Super Mario Bros Super Show; Jeannie Elias.
The soul that is going on with this marketing!

If I could track down everyone from 6th grade that I saw the last Mario movie with in 1993 and organize a reunion for this one, I’m sure they all say “Who are you and how did you get this number?”

This is weapons grade nostalgia. My entire generation has had this song sleeping in our brains for 30 years. If this is a Super Bowl commercial, all Millennials and some Gen X will be activated, Manchurian/Mushroomian Candidate-style, to rescue the princess.

This new marketing for the Super Mario Bros. Movie is incredible....
They really redid the Super Mario Bros. Super Show theme!

Nintendo should sell special Game Boy controllers for Nintendo Switch Online, and the little screen should work, and you should be able to download games to play on the go on the controller, and oh no I just invented the Game Boy.

My completely unfounded prediction is that Zelda is coming in May because the Christmas game is going to be Metroid Prime 4.

Ghostbusters. 1999. FYE. First time I'd ever seen it in widescreen! Today that copy is in my display case and autographed by Dan Aykroyd.

There's new Darkwing Duck and Negaduck Funkos for preoder! But they're eBay exclusives! And you can't order Negaduck; he's a random variant! And they're both sold out already! I'm so tired. I just wanna buy a damn plastic duck in peace.

Hey did you even watch The World Is Not Enough? Zukovsky is Bond’s ally, not enemy. Neither this film nor GoldenEye pretend otherwise. #JamesBond
Mega Man understood something no other game does. You click on the button to fight a robot guy named Toad Man and you walk into his level and there’s a giant robot snail. Unparalleled

By what I’m sure is an amazing coincidence, the GoldenEye film resurfaced on streaming services this week. I’m watching for the first time in 20 years, squeeing over recognizing N64 game levels. “Ahh, it’s the Arkangel facility!” “Ahh, it’s the Severnaya bunker!”
