Mario wasn’t named for branding.
He was named after Nintendo’s landlord who showed up demanding rent.
The company was nearly broke, the mascot was a joke, and history was made.

Before DAWs and plugins, people made real music on this. Little Sound DJ (LSDJ) turns a Game Boy or GBA into a legit music studio. Hardcore enthusiast, homebrewers and demosceners get the most out of their machines.

This is why the N64 controller feels different. Nintendo used optical sensors, custom chips, and overbuilt engineering—no cheap parts. It wasn’t just a controller, it was hardware science.

Welcome to Super Potato!
In Japan, retro games don’t live in museums—they live on buildings.
Pixel art, arcade history, and Mario watching the street like it’s 1985.
This is cultural preservation.
