!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.


2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.


I should not need to explain this one.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.


Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

The real SMB2 was on Super Mario All-Stars for the SNES and I gotta say... The reskinned Doki Doki Panic is a better game.

It is, but it doesn't play like a Super Mario Bros. game at all. They just got away with it because the series was still new.

Even back then, when you jumped onto the first enemy and just... Stood on them instead of killing them was pretty different.

It wasn't totally outrageous though. Zelda did it. I think there might be more, but I'm old and this is reaching way back in the memory banks.

We used to compare Zelda II, SMB 2, and Castlevania II for all taking weird swings before swerving back for their third entries.
