Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic (1987) was reworked into Super Mario Bros. 2 for Western audiences because Nintendo felt the original SMB2 (aka SMB: The Lost Levels) was too difficult for players outside Japan.

The Great Giana Sisters launched in 1987 and looked a little too much like Super Mario Bros. The UK box even bragged: “The brothers are history!” Nintendo sent a warning, the game was withdrawn, and being pulled from shelves only made it more legendary. A clone became collectible because it got too close to the source.

Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World is a subtle remake of the original. The biggest addition is being able to switch to Luigi, where he brings his Lost Levels physics. Given all the little differences to find, I'd say it's worth playing for fans of the original. #RetroGaming

Soviet censors literally renamed Sergei Parajanov’s Sayat-Nova (1969) to The Color of Pomegranates because they thought its poetic visual language was too difficult for audiences to understand. That’s how far ahead of its time the film was.

This Scooby Doo scene was cut from the film because it was too scary. When test audiences first watched it, they felt disturbed by the nature of this scene. This scene depicted a possessed Velma chasing for Daphne's soul.

In Spider Man (2002), the original Green Goblin mask was a detailed animatronic with glowing eyes and lifelike movement, but it was scrapped because Sam Raimi and the studio felt it was too scary for children and toy marketing.

It started as a quick cash-in on the Mario craze but became a C64 cult classic! Rainbow Arts’ cheeky UK box art taunted, “The brothers are history!” — and Nintendo noticed. After the May 1987 release (C64 original first), they sent a strongly worded complaint detailing the similarities to Super Mario Bros. No full lawsuit, but an out-of-court settlement followed: the game was yanked from stores almost immediately. The UK physical copies are now ultra-rare collector’s items, yet piracy made sure the game survived and thrived! Legendary C64 composer Chris Hülsbeck (who later scored Turrican) created the music for the game; some say it made the game the mega hit it was. It certainly helped! But here is the question we need to answer: Mario Bros vs Giana Sisters, which did you prefer? Share your answer below👇

Castlevania, known in Japan as Akumajō Dracula, turns 40 this year. It was released in 1986 for the Famicom Disk System (or NES outside of Japan). I found this game to be both highly addictive, super tough and - at times - frustrating. What can't be denied is its cult status and longevity, with the latest title of the series (Haunted Castle Revisited) being published in 2024. A brilliant platformer, if you had the skills (which I didn't). Note: Video edit is the 1987 NES version, which came after the original 1986 Famicon debut.

The way Marcus Freeman told Kenny Minchey he lost Notre Dame’s starting quarterback competition (and how difficult it was for Freeman, too) is a window into how compassionate of a head coach he is. “If it ever becomes easy, you might be in the wrong profession.” (via Here Come The Irish)

🎬Hit the floor 🌈 Zero stepped closer, close enough that the noise outside faded into nothing. His voice dropped. Because I can’t stop thinking about it. Zero made the choice for both of them pulling him in, kissing him like it was something he’d been holding back for too long.🔥

The Liberal Party didn't lose because it stood for too much. In my view, it lost because many of its traditional supporters felt it stopped standing for the conservative and Christian values that once defined it. It became focused on what was politically safe instead of what made it different. One Nation's growth isn't just about immigration. It's about having the courage to speak on issues the major parties won't.

I think most people started the Metal Gear series on PlayStation. Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, in particular, was released exclusively for the MSX2, making it difficult to experience unless you were an old-school gamer in Japan. Looking back now, it’s an incredible game where almost all of Metal Gear’s core systems were already fully formed, but it was far too difficult to play at such a young age, so I remember trading it for another game before getting very far.

🧵3/ The Engineered Pearl Harbor Plot To Provoke Japan Into Attacking The US, To Provide The US Pretext For Entering WW2, aka the "jewish plot" Japan had identified. Just as Germany was marked for destruction for defying the jewish international order, so too was Japan. Unfortunately for the warmongers & plotters, Americans wanted nothing to do with the war in 1940, by a margin of 93-7! (see below) The Germans, having learned the lessons of WW1 & the Lusitania, were absolutely resolute in not attacking any American ships in the Atlantic, thus giving FDR no sufficient pretext to take America to war. The solution for the warmongers was to provoke Japan into "firing the first shot." FDR & Churchill imposed strict & strangulating trade embargos on Japan in 1940/41, suffocating Japan's economy & depriving it of the materials it needed to defend itself from Soviet-communist encroachment on Japan via Mongolia & China. Japan was later proven right when China became communist in 1949, and soon after North Korea. Japan has been sitting ducks for the communists and their nukes ever since. This should all sound familiar to you since it's the exact same playbook the jews used on Germany: there had been 2 attempted communist revolutions in Germany prior to the rise of Hitler & the National Socialists. The Soviets were continuing their march westward & this pressure was a significant motivation behind Germany's actions in the European Theater. The jews had even engineered an economic embargo of Germany! Futhermore, we now also know that Japan offered to withdraw almost all of its imperial incursions throughout Asia in exchange for the lifting of the sanctions. This deal was rejected & FDR moved the Pacific Fleet out to Hawaii to make them sitting ducks! Watch the video below for the details, proof & links:
