Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories on the GBA fulfills both conditions. Still would've been better to pull from Nintendo's repertoire.

What's pretty disturbing is that Mega Man is about to watch someone eat his own head in the near future.

Where's Luigi? Also, is Sonic supposed to be Judas?

It kinda makes sense. Sonic selling Mario up the river to Master chief to get his 7 seconds of glory. Judas gave Jesus up for a handful of silver coins, this can be Sonic finally getting a game on a Nintendo system, enemy territory, only for it to be a shallow victory, a failure of a game. His betrayal, in essence gave him nothing.

Mario's console incarnations can also be an allegory for his death and rebirth. Going to 3d after being a sprite, in Mario 64 and Sunshine. But returning to a simpler 2-D life with his later games, but he is no longer a sprite, but polygons. He transcended 2D, into 3D, to return to 2D without a sprite's limitations.

I also like how Peach is there. I guess the artist thought Mary Magdalene really was at the last supper and later it was changed to be Peter I think it was.

Cloud is Judas since he's holding the bag of money.
