I'm not saying you guys should do 20 years of Sonic again, but if you did, I would totally watch it. Again.

The best thing about Mario games is that football players seem out of place, but a fruit-eating, frog-tongued dinosaur pal seems completely appropriate.

I actually don't think they look that human in the game. I think what's weird is just the implication that football exists in the Mario universe alongside winged turtles and mushroom people.

In today's age of console lifespans it's weird to think it, but the NES and the SNES co-existed for quite some time, and the NES had a good amount of games come out after the SNES became the main system, as we'll keep seeing for a little bit.

It's not that weird. The Wii U's been out for a year now and they've just now stopped making Wii games. Hell, they made PS1 games until, like, 2004.

Wow, now that I've looked it up, the PS2 is a way better example. They apparently released a game for it this year.

Just Dance 2014 just came out on both the Wii U and Wii, so it's still not done.

Really? They discontinued the console in Europe and Japan last month, so I figured they'd stopped making games for it.

"Stop dot" made me laugh so hard I had to pause the video.

Toad's looking practically nightmarish on that title screen. I think he might be taxidermied. :ohdear:

Every character looks nightmarish. They all look like strangers wearing their faces as masks.

This is a really, really weird derail.

There's no such thing as a derail in a Run Button thread.

Same here. When Keith started critiquing the drawing, I laughed until my stomach hurt a little.

I love the face the Lakitu make when they throw Spinys.



I like to think they're shouting a battle cry.

Things like the relationship between Mario and Baby Mario or the nature of Yoshi's reproductive cycle are like the sacred mysteries in Catholicism: they are not for us to understand or question.

What's more surprising, that this thread has been going on for that long, or that Ometeotl has been bitching about it for that long?

Mario Party was a punishment. Especially on the N64 with the awful hard joysticks. I remember rotating it with the palm of my hand so much I caused the skin to blister.
