Nintendo: The Lost Years

Tuesday, March 11, 2008

During the Famicom heyday, in an effort to capture the elusive and largely anti-Japanese Chinese market, Nintendo decided to re-release Super Mario Bros 2 with some slight modifications. In the Chinese version Mario is a Chinese plumber, the mushroom became custard cake, and the goombas became Taiwanese lawmakers.

It was a stupid idea, but by the time Nintendo realized it, they were already too late. Porcelain statues had already been made. Another lost entry, in Nintendo's history.
