Nintendolife writes, "one of the greatest games ever celebrates a milestone."
"For those unaware, today marks the 20th anniversary of the release of Super Mario Bros. 3 in North America. Having sold over 18 million copies worldwide, it still stands as one of the best-selling video games of all time - and that's not even accounting for the various remakes and re-releases of the game that have been released over the years."
"So here we sit, 20 years to the day of the game's American release and the game is still just as fresh and fun as it ever was."

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.

With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.
It was worrisome to begin with.
It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.
I like the sound of that!! I will for sure never support these gaas games.
Sony must be shocked at gamer's reaction, making them cancel a few of these and hopefully go back to the good heavy hitters they had us used to..
now bring on that PSPro reveal and show us some SP 1st party awesomeness.
It's pretty ridiculous.
Imagine having a breadth of data at your disposal to see the statistically low success rate of these games, only to be laser focused on the exceptional case studies.
Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.
Helldivers 2 manages just fine…
Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.
Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.
Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.
Happy B-Day Super Mario Bros. 3! I remember everything about the day my mom took me to the store to get it. Good times. :)
I've spent most of my childhood playtime on this game, I remmember when I beat the game it fills my inventory with P wings, great times that aren't coming back.
i remember i was still playing this even tho the ps1 was out. and even tho the ps2 came out i was still playing this every now and then. til it got flooded so my mom threw out the game and system. however it still work but my mom didnt care
Gëzuar dhe Urime :P
How it made me feel to see SMB 3 debut in The wizard. Me and my cousins had just seen back to the future 2 and snuck our way into the adjacent theater it was playing in.we all wanted to see that flick so bad and all our parents wouldn't pay for it.
It collectively blew our minds.
This is a game with a firm hold on my childhood... happy birthday SMB 3.
