Mario & Wario from Super Famicon.

>>3711684
How about the sequel?

>>3711707
Fun fact: this was the first appearance of Luigi's tall and slimmer design, at least on the cover art. It predated Super Mario 2 USA and 3 by a few months.

>Mario
>obscure

Mario has been the FACE of gaming for nearly 30 years now.

All Mario games are hopelessly normie.

The only exceptions are forgotten games that don't contain the word Mario in the title. Wrecking Crew is one such game.

>>3711798
Please, how many people played Super Mario Special.

Especially in the west, outside of emulators? Fuck off, nigger.

Does Megaman count? Cause I know pretty fucking obscure DOS versions of it

>>3711681
there was a super rare game that had all kinds of bugs for the nintendo famicom called super mario bros.
it was kind of a metroidvania/god of war clone that had some rpg/rts elements

>>3711807
The Hi-Tech Expressions Mega Man and Mega Man 3 (still waiting for their Mega Man 2) aren't that obscure.

Despite being shit, the first one actually sold pretty well.

>>3711807
>obscure

>>3711740
I remember that game on the snes, used to love it but it was pretty hard for a kid my age

>>3711842
Megaman on SNES? I think you mean Megaman X, bud.

Also have a free GrandDad, thread.

The crossover of the millennium.

Super Mario No Sweater

That or one of those coloring programs with the american cartoon designs for DOS

>>3711707
It actually got a trophy in smash bros melee

All-Night Nippon Super Mario Bros

The second of 2 cancelled CDi games, Mario Takes America

A cancelled Virtual Boy Mario Land game

>>3712067
Warioland on Virtual Boy was awesome. I don't get the hate for the VB, it wasn't that bad other than the fact that it was impossible play 2 players and well... it wasn't exactly portable.

>>3712074
It made your eyes hurt.

That said the Wario game looks awesome and fun to play in an emulator if you just fuck around with the colors a bit.

>>3711991
>super mario no sweater
>game only features sweater patterns
>NO sweater
this is why nobody buys your shit these days Nintendo

Owned this one as a kid, played it on the computer at mamaw and pawpaw's house

Mario Teaches Typing isn't that rare, right?

How about this one?

>>3712085
Yes, I'm not a child. I got one as a kid for xmas, didn't make my eyes hurt or give me headaches like everyone claims.

People need to not be little bitches...

But yeah, that's what probably killed it though, Little Bitch Syndrome.

>>3712148
Unfortunately LBS exists, and the VB does strain the eyes of many people. When I first picked up mine it didn't bother me at all. After a few years I tried messing around with it again and it felt awful. Now it's like a food aversion almost, so I don't dust it off very often. Games were tight tho for such a small library.

>>3712074
Sequel to Teleroboxer, when Nintendo?

>>3712121
This looks like a version of Mario Bros I had on some kind of bargain bin floppy disk that had like 50 or 100 games on it. I got excited because I thought it was Super Mario Bros, and this was my first exposure to Mario Bros as a standalone game.

Also remember some kind of squirrel platformer that I couldn't get very far in, and the MC looked a lot like Conker before he got turned into an adult character.

>>3712203
What, was that a Mario game? It was more like, if you took the extra inertia super mario1 had over mario 3, and then doubled or tripled that, that's kind of what it would be like. Oh, and the last game in that series was pretty derivative of donkey kong country. And, another one was a straightforward ripoff of mario kart ... actually, it was a ripoff of a ripoff of mario kart.

>when you see it...

>>3712148
Excellent observation! Everyone complaining about headaches was just being a little bitch and not dealing with the non-existent headaches and eyestrain!

>>3712252

>tfw you realize skunny will never come back

>>3712249
See what?
The blocks in the background?
What does that have to do with Mario?!?!?
Go back to /v/

>>3712249
>>3712326
Dunno if this was bait but I'll explain it to you anyway.

You can see that Mario is the guy in the little spaceship thing bouncing the ball onto the blocks in space.

>>3712326
mario is driving fucker

>>3712332
>>3712335
Too easy.

>>3712252

Do you allow that most of them were stupid children who didn't know the focus knob existed, or what it was for?

How about that DOS Mario game?

There's also a Mario 3 DOS prototype created by id Software

All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros which was basically an official rom hack of SMB1 with toads and enemies being swapped out with caricatures of Japanese celebrities.

>>3712746
More specifically made to promote a Japanese radio show. In fact that radio show still exists...

Listen at your own risk (with English subs):

https://youtu.be/3Mu8uNIujkQ

But I wonder they don't do cool cross-promotional games anymore? There's also a Gradius game with Ramen noodles in it.

It's more of a Lost Level hacks, since you can control Luigi with his higher jumps in Super Mario 1 stages.

>>3712936
The fuck is that?

>>3712960
Mario Family

I think its some weird printer thing

Mario Bros. had a ton of ports and rereleases. Here's Kaettekita Mario Bros, an updated version of the NES game with extra levels, a new mode that lets you play a minigame after you get a game over, some in-game ads, etc.

>physical prizes for getting high scores

Man, Nintendo used to be so cool.

It's hard to believe that they managed to make something even less interesting for the successor to Club Nintendo.

>>3713132
true winner of the thread. neat games too. I'd heard of everything else except for Mario Family and this.

I have an old choose-your-own-adventure book based on NES Mario. Does that count as obscure?

I also have a Castlevania 2 one. Was kind of weird because the entire thing is about Simon dragging a kid around Europe to collect body parts.

>>3713219

Please tell me they modeled it after Captain N Simon

oh my god it's Ken Penders

Not officially released but this guy made a decent interpretation of SMB on the woefully underpowered 2600:

https://youtu.be/8fSO-UTdCI8

>>3713278

Stuff like this is really impressive when you realize the 2600 can basically only display the ball and paddles from Pong, and all these graphics are done by manually moving those 3 things around between scanlines.

>>3712894
I didn't mind the product placement that much in the SNES game but good god, that poster is not how you're supposed to advertise your product.

>>3713171
It was just a marketing gimmick. Mailing out free stuff isn't really a sustainable long term business model, especially after cheat devices hit the market and the internet made it easy to share codes. I guess it might be somewhat more feasible these days with internet connected consoles, but even then manufacturing and shipping cheat chinese crap is a lot more expensive than just handing out in-game achievements.

Not really a reward for actually playing games, but Squaresoft was offering physical rewards for buying their shit just up to like 4 or 5 years ago. Apparently even that wasn't cost-effective since they abandoned it.

>>3713278
I know this is fanmade, but the music is quite enjoyable.

>>3713286
The Atari 2600 can display 2 8-pixel wide sprites, 2 bullets, a ball, and a 20-pixel wide background (the full background is 40 pixels, mirrored around the center). You're always "manually moving" things around between scanlines on the Atari on any game because there's no framebuffer or vram, you're just repeating the same kernel code every scanline (or more typically every other scanline so there's more time for your game logic to run) and keeping track of various line counters so you display the right "slice" of sprite on a given line.

There's a lot of tricks you can do on the Atari, though. You can force it to display asymmetric backgrounds. You can repeat the same sprites multiple times in sequence on a scanline. You can position use the bullets and ball and modulate their widths to draw stuff pretty easily.

I mean, it's convoluted by today's standards, but it's nothing complex. If you can program a microcontroller, you can program an Atari.

>>3713231
>Nintendo copyright
Is this actually an officially licensed games?

>>3713321

Yes. Japanese companies often let european companies do their own impersonation of their IPs for euro computers.

If you want to see a real comical one, search Amiga Castlevania on youtube.

I was always curious about these, I loved Mario paint and I wanted to play them.
At least the music was ripped, it's really good.

You can convert DD games and play them via some flash cartridge.
I have no idea what can be done about the mouse though.

Not obscure, but probably my favorite version of the game.

>visited the site
"Old titles were rarely multiplayer" these fucks have no idea what they're talking about, do they? NES has two players simultaneous play as a selling feature. If devs found a way to fit 2-player into their games, they did that. Hell, it continued later, Doom became a hit partially because of great multiplayer that literally made office productivity go down and network admins had to ban playing Doom on public networks - and N64 was popular partially because of split screen titles, including fucking Goldeneye.

>>3722308
This is merely speculation but since developers for Game Boy were given a console to try their games out on a TV while they developed them (years before the Super Game Boy), I imagine developers probably worked on a game on a monitor and when they were done probably added 3D effects afterwards.

There is 0 argument on your side.

>>3711807
No, Megaman does not count as a retro Mario game

>>3722681
Just because an underage faggot feels special because he knows about an "obscure" game doesn't mean the game is actually obscure dingus.
