The shade those parents must've felt to have their interviews used in what turned out to be free marketing for Nintendo lol

A moment of silence in honor the sacrifice of Kent Shocknek, taken from this world too early while trying to jump his car o7

She’s got hair like that cat Pepé le Pew wants to hook up with.

Is that April from TMNT?

Fun fact, that $200 in 1991 would be about $450 today. The most expensive Nintendo console today is the Switch OLED at $360. Nintendo is beating inflation!

Good that they do, because our wages sure aren't.

When the first NES came out I was over there with my C64 and my shoebox full of disks with games I hadn't tried yet like, lol suckers.

I wish I had seen this, there might have been a moment when we could've shifted some parental money from Nintendo to Commodore with the right campaign, and kept the Amiga going...

I learned programming on my 64 at 8 years old. I typed in the code from a programming book, ran it, saw what it did, and changed it around to alter the output to my liking.

I've made a whole career out of that.

It's okay to critisize, but spoiling the end of Super Mario World is just spiteful.

Culture was just different back then. Spoilers weren't a big deal, except maybe for Star Wars fans.

I remember the era when anime episodes would tell you what would happen in it, if someone dies and stuff like that.
