Illustrator Ástor Alexander has created a series of Nintendo-themed pulp magazine covers that show Mario, Peach, Link, Zelda, and Samus Aran in a way you probably haven’t before.
The series of images is simply called “Pulp Nintendo” and, so far, features three magazine covers by Alexander. The first titled “Taken…Again” one can be seen below, and it shows Mario armed with a handgun moving into a mansion to rescue Princess Peach.
SEGA’s Second Division Manager, Osamu Ohashi, wants to surpass Mario by strengthening the Sonic IP.
Nah, Sonic is definitely iconic but it will never be at the level of Mario. Much less surpass it...
They can compete but Mario will always win. Mario and Sonic cater to different fans or fans who like both.
Sonic doesn't have to compete though. Both are their own thing, there's plenty of room for them both.
Thing is Sonic despite the bad games is still an icon as big as Mario, probably bigger cause he's seen more in media than Mario. More cartoons, more movies, more memes. So on that end he's good, they just gotta stop making bad games.
The Switch game, which was announced earlier this year, is a remake of a cult favorite GameCube title, and currently holds a placeholder release date of 2024. However, it’s possible that since the game is already beginning to arrive at rating boards, the release could come early in the year.
A series of new Special Edition Mario Bomber Jackets allow fans to show their dedication to the franchise when out and about.
The Jackets look good but are kids sizes only 😭
