Here's a reminder that not all region's #NintendoSwitchOnline catalogs are the same!

In addition to #DKC , Japanese subscribers get early 90's Super Famicom/SNES RPG #ShinMegamiTensei & Famicom/NES action game Gun-Dec (aka Vice: Project Doom).

Will Japan ever get The Immortal?? https://t.co/ALxJqDJDyK

The original 1991 Japanese #SonicTheHedgehog game manual was packed with really delightful color illustrations that were totally absent from the manuals in other regions.

Here's a few pages introducing some of Eggman's robots.

This one is pretty cool too, but unfortunately not the best scan.

Unique magazine review art for the European release of Super Mario Bros. 3 in August 1991 (almost 3 years after it came out in Japan, and 18 months after NA). Some look based on Mario 2/USA.

Scored an overall rating of 98%.

Let's never forget that in 2005 #Mario and Co. were playable in a couple of great EA Sports games on the #Gamecube - NBA Street V3 and SSX On Tour.

In Japan, EA leaned into this heavily and renamed the games "NBA Street V3: Dunk with Mario" & "SSX On Tour with Mario"

Awesome #Atari 800 (and little sibling 400) poster art.

I'm glad to see Grandma in the first image into gaming. Let's assume she was 67 at the time this was printed. That would make her 107! I hope she's still out there wrecking all dem noobs to this day.
