Thread: You know Mario and Zelda have a lot in common...

    Default You know Mario and Zelda have a lot in common...

    The second Mario Bros. game and the second Legend of Zelda game were radically different from their predecessors. Mario Sunshine and Wind Waker weren't as well received as their N64 counterparts. Twilight Princess and Mario Galaxy were killer apps for the Wii.

    Someone has too much time to think.

    They're also both developed and published by Nintendo. Crazy world, isn't it?

    And both of them have a lot of very strange Hentai pics people have drawn of them.

    Well, everything has that in common. It's kind of scary really

    Mario 1 and Zelda 1 are both vastly different from later games, and both would be considered piles of if released today.

    The Legend of Zelda is, in my eyes, the greatest game in the series.

    I love cynical people, that is why I like it here.

    Both charecters have very large noses (at least in the N64 versions)
    Oh, did I mention I'm awesome?

    except super mario bros 2 in the US, was not really super mario bros 2. Super mario bros, the lost levels, is super mario bros 2, and is almost identical to the first super mario bros.

    I make note to say super mario bros, because the original mario bros is just that minigame that's in the third super mario bros game... the one with the pipes and the enemies.

    Yep, I was going to point that out as well.

    As for the GC iterations not being as well-received, well, Nintendo did a lot of things during that era that were well-intentioned but not exactly in tune with what the majority of fans wanted. Though I still love Wind Waker tons.
