Mario and Sonic
 

Re: Mario and Sonic
 

dude, where ya been? We need a status report.

Mario
Mario 3
Sonic 1 (only cause I never played any of the others)

Re: Mario and Sonic
 

Sonic was all the same lame [censored] over and over again. Mario is the all-time greatest.

Re: Mario and Sonic
 

Super Mario 64

Re: Mario and Sonic
 

I've been enjoying my summer, I have a couple weeks left before school but all my friends are going off this weekend so I have a little more OOT time.

Btw, my answers are as follows:
Mario
Mario 3
Sonic 2

Re: Mario and Sonic
 

I don't think Super Mario 64 came even close to the original on the NES.

This is better than any option, but since it's not an original (Sega Genesis/NES), it doesn't count.

Okay. 2 is vastly underrated and should have been included. It's the worst of the original series, but I still enjoyed it.

Re: Mario and Sonic
 

I personally like Mario 64 and Super Mario Land better than anything off of NES, but on just NES, Mario 3 is easily the best. That is one game that has gotten better with every newer edition. Also, it has evolved with every new edition.

Re: Mario and Sonic
 

Mario 2 wasn't even originally produced as a Mario game. The Japanese SM2 looked exactly like SM1, but was much harder. Nintendo decided it was better off converting a different Japanese game (Doki Doki Panic) by taking out the old main character & inserting Mario.

I know Mario 2 takes a lot of heat, but I really liked it. I would have voted for it.

It's an OK game, but its not a mario game. In fact, it wasn't even originally designed to use the mario franchise or characters. The OP was correct to leave it off the poll.

I knew someone would mention this. I really don't see how it's relevant. It was marketed as a Mario game in the US, so it's a [censored] Mario game.

Because how something is marketed makes it undeniably true. You too can look like the Marlboro Man, New Coke > Old Coke, and partypoker.net is NOT a gambling site. By the way, I have a important message for you from the Solid Rock Church about accepting Jesus Christ as YOUR personal savior.

Sure, but it's much more fun to argue about it on a technicality.

I haven't played videogames in years, but this kid who is friends with my friends younger brother is selling souped up Xboxes for 350 bucks that according to all accounts have 95% of all available games on the harddrive for NES, Master System, Super NES, 64, Neo GEO, Arcade, Artari Jaguar, Saturn, Genesis, Dreamcast, TBGfx16, and I forget if it has Playstation or PS2 games on it, but whatever. Basically it has a sick library of the games we grew up on and then some..plus you can DL games you rent into the expanded harddrive.

Anyway, I guess this isn't a question---because this seems 100% worth it right? I should buy this like now?

You don't realize how lazy I am though. If I add another distraction to my existence...oh nevermind; I'm just talking out loud I guess. I'm making the call.

Of course, if this kid is BSing you, by all accounts you have the right to shove the XBox up his ass with no lube.

Man Sonic on the old Game Gear got me through many boring classes. Those were the days.

I have no witty retort. Hell, I could make a list of 50 things more. Here's one, I have three checks worth about 200 bucks sitting in my room, the thought of going to a bank makes me physically ill and I can't see myself depositing them.

Awesome. I'm the same way. You should just sign two of them over to this guy for the system.

My grandparents still just give me a check for xmas. A nominal amount, like $30 I think. This year, I didn't cash it. They called and asked about it and I claimed I lost it. They sent another one and I never cashed that one either. I'm pretty sure they're very confused about it.

Dude, rather than confuse them, just tell them thanks but it isn't necessary.

Why is it even getting mentioned in a best poll though? It was left out for a reason. Can't we just ignore the fact that it was ever released?

Re: Mario and Sonic
 

The Mario Bros. franchise is far superior to the Sonic one; Sonic was just never really made loveable enough to really be successful. As far as the games go, I think Super Mario World for the SNES was the most fun I've ever had playing a Mario game, though Mario 3 was a much bigger step forward from the original, IMO. Sonic 2 was the best of that series.

Re: Instead of a New Thread
 

The tech guys here at work have modded pretty much everyone here's XBox. Same deal, any game from old school Nintendo to Dreamcast to PS. Its pretty sweet. All it takes is the chip and a new harddrive, so $350 sounds pretty reasonable. I think the tech guys here ask for about $50-70 for the parts.

Never!!! Mario 2 and Zelda 2 were fine games that got [censored] on for going in a different direction and it's high time people admit this.

Mario two blows, especially when compared to one and 3 (wich ownzors). Link was a sweet game that i spent a lot of time playing on my NES.

Re: Mario and Sonic
 

I too think Super Mario World (SNES) was the best game.
