Kotaku writes: "I'm a fan of game-music, music inspired by games, and music made by games. It's all good, or at least it can be. So my interest was piqued when reader Jim emailed to let us know that indie bands Kaki King and The Mountain Goats had gotten together to record a six-song EP entitled Black Pear Tree. Among the songs can be found Nintendo-inspired goodness "Thank You Mario Buy Our Princess Is in Another Castle."
Coming in at a bit more than three minutes, the song sung from Toad's perspective features striking piano and drumming overlaid by The Mountain Goat's John Darnielle singing. The mix kinda sinks its hooks in, and the finale with King's and Darnielle's duet adds just the right amount of sweet to make you want to go back and have a second listen.
Give a listen on the jump."

Yes most people will just buy both it's not 1992 anymore.
Retro fans will buy both, families will probably end up with both eventually fans of specifically those two out of nostalgia have careers and enough income to buy both
I don't see a problem
Hardly competing. It's releasing on PS4, PS5, Xbox Series and Xbox One, Wonder isn't.
Absolutely, but it certainly won't be because the 2 games released around the same time. Mario is more popular and typically the games are better.
"Hamster's Arcade Archives series offers no-frills versions of numerous classic arcade titles. On Switch, the lineup even includes several arcade games from Nintendo! The Arcade Archives Nintendo titles never go on sale, which makes the current sale super exciting. Co-op classics like Mario Bros. and Ice Climber and non-co-op games like Donkey Kong and Punch-Out! are currently on sale for 30 percent off, making it a great time to load up on Nintendo classics for Switch," says Co-Optimus.
In his newest 8-Bit Chronicles, Anthony gets into 1983's Mario Bros. Y'know, the arcade one. With the sewers?
like mario.
