Oh, and this was a big one on the old site: All the ways that Popeye changed video games (mostly but not limited to Mario stuff). He may have (indirectly) inspired Mario's whole look, actually.

I’m still convinced that whatever ad executive was put in charge of this commercial must’ve been utterly confounded and/or overwhelmed by seeing the game in motion, and so they instructed their underlings to just make a commercial riffing on the silly names in the instruction manual.
Early morning bonus post:
It's impossible to do this commercial justice with just screenshots, so please enjoy maybe the most bizarre commercial Nintendo ever produced (rivaled only perhaps by the infamous Yoshi's Island commercial):

Like, statistically there had to be another Ghislaine out there who maybe thought she was the only one and was all proud of her weird name, but now she’s like “Oh, just call me Jill.”

Someone asked me why I post more pics of squirrels than my dog, and the reason why is that my dog cannot use his own tail as an umbrella on rainy days.

I finally uploaded the 2400dpi scans I just made a little while ago of a mini playing card set that was an insert in Wanpakku Comic's 1987 February issue. It features art from most of their series, including #Mario #Zelda #MursameCastle #Metroid #Layla and more: archive.org/details/zine...

Nintendo has decided that Lubba, a big jolly star creature in Super Mario Galaxy 2, is female, but you might be surprised to know that it isn't necessarily a retcon.

And if she is, this “change” may not actually be Nintendo retconning itself.

Names I call Welcome to Derry's Marge, the most pitiable TV character in recent memory: Barge, Dirge, Scourge, Turge, Urge, Dearth, Perth, Earth, Purge, Discharge, Marginal, Klurj, Spurge, Flirj and finally Girth. Names I will not call her: Marge but also Maggie.

I feel like gay men in general need an agreed-upon way to say “I am not looking to hook up. It’s a me thing. This is not a reflection on you.” Because saying that often does not yield the desired result.

Just now occurred to me that whoever is making the Mario Galaxy movie was saddled with the unenviable task of differentiating Rosalina from Elsa, even though Rosalina debuted way before. But I am sure they’re like “We can’t have people thinking she’s an Elsa ripoff.”
