I still remember my neighbor getting SMB 3 for his 10th birthday.
The size of the box was a giveaway. We knew it was a NES game before he unwrapped it.
When we saw that package it was fucking ecstasy. The party was over and we all ran to the tv to put the game in and watch.
IT’S THURSDAY YOU FUCK!!!
Post this kinda shit on a Friday so I can fucking dream.
“Do you want kids?”
“Yes! I want around 30. And then about another 30 two hours later.”
I have a job. I am currently getting ready to go to it. Then, since it is now Friday. I’m gonna order a god damned large pizza and then I’mma sit down in front of my big ass television set and play video games and eat pizza till I’m too tired to do either anymore.
Which, because I’m fucking old now, will probably be around 10:00 p.m. 😢
I remember the first time I heard of Mario 3 was in Nintendo Power issue 6:
“Mario will be able to fly, using a racoon tail as a propeller. Trust us. We’ll tell you everything as soon as we can. Keep reading Nintendo Power for the latest.”
At the time, I pictured him wearing a coonskin cap and flying that way.
I remember going to see The Wizard because it revealed Warp Whistle locations.
It showed one, right? checks scene
Yeah, Jimmy got the one in the first fortress. Savant or not, it never made sense to me he they knew there was one there right away, since he’d never played the game before.
Yeah, that’s not a great plot; one might even go as far as to say that it’s so bad.
I have a core memory of getting into my mom’s car on a rare day (which happened to be my birthday) that she picked me up instead of me taking the bus home. Sitting there on the passenger seat was a copy of Nintendo Power Issue #11 that my mom had grabbed out of the mailbox (she had just signed me and my brother up for a subscription, and this was the first issue to arrive). I didn’t have Super Mario Bros. 3 and wouldn’t get it for another year maybe, but to be able to read all about this game was just so thrilling for my 13-year-old self.
10 minutes of blinking screen and blowing on the cartridge
Ok I’m in, but no warp flutes
