It's called rage batting for a reason.

Just to play devil's advocate: Mario is without a doubt the oldest recognizable character that still has some modern appearances. You can't really take pong and some shitty mobile game as a comparison.

[-] HeyJoe@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

I think Pac Man is the oldest, but only by a year.

[-] arkthos@yiffit.net 2 points 2 months ago

It gets very blurry in the early days of video games. Ahoy made a great video about just that, actually: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uHQ4WCU1WQc&pp=ygUYYWhveSBlYXJsaWVzdCB2aWRlbyBnYW1l

Basically, there's earlier games than pacman, but what actually constitutes a video game starts to become a much less trivial question.

He even has the broccoli haircut. He knows what he's doing.

[-] Furball@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months ago

Nobody who has a broccoli haircut knows anything in general

[-] harrys_balzac@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 months ago

He's probably aware that he's doing something. And whatever that is means he's getting views and that's all that matters.

Kids man... I remember back in the day being asked to review a gaming site a young'un was trying to get off the ground and I had to correct them that Mario was NOT created by Atari and man, they were ADAMANT.

Their evidence?

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 20 points 2 months ago

Its even funnier because Nintendo's brand name is printed three times on that cartridge.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Yeah but it says Atari twice

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

It says Atari also 3 times. Also Sears.

[-] jordanlund@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Yeah, Sears had their own licensed knock off of the Atari 2600.

"Donkey Kong by Nintendo"

This won't stop me because I can't read.

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

But what about Green Mario??

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 28 points 2 months ago

Funny because it's NES (1983/85) Mario over a N64 (1996/97) controller. Idiots

[-] RightHandOfIkaros@lemmy.world 17 points 2 months ago

I guarantee you that N64 controller is the wireless reissue for the Nintendo Switch and not a real genuine N64 controller that plugs into an N64.

[-] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

Ah geez, it's worse lol

I imagine the hate-clicks from GenXers and retro-game enthusiasts do wonders for Laughing Boy’s engagement

"Top 100 ragebait assholes of Youtube."

[-] rubikcuber@feddit.uk 6 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Try doing it in real time and then talk to me about it.

[-] twinnie@feddit.uk 5 points 2 months ago

That kid knows exactly what he’s doing. Bravo I say.

[-] Whirling_Cloudburst@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

I don't give these guys any clicks.

I played these games when I was a kid (80's):

Speed Race

Tank

The games were still being played more than 10 years later and they had copycat versions floating around.

[-] Akasazh@feddit.nl 2 points 2 months ago

I played a fait amount of games on this here gaming system:

[-] Squizzy@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Super Mario Wonder was the least enjoyable Mario game I have ever played.

[-] nokturne213@sopuli.xyz -2 points 2 months ago
