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.

Posting Rules

  • Posts must be directly gaming-related. Thus, "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; similarly, reaction GIFs are also not appropriate as submissions.

  • Following Reddiquette is encouraged

  • No "general" URL shorteners (bitly, tinyurl, etc). Single-site URL shorteners (such as youtu.be or fav.me) are allowed.

  • No game or product giveaway of any kind

  • NSFW submissions and comments must be labeled

  • Spoilers can be posted using the following formatting:
    [X Kills Y](/spoiler)
    Result: X Kills Y.

  • To mark a spoiler as relevant to a specific game/topic, use the alternate formatting:
    [Player 1 wins](/spoiler "Pong")
    Result:
    Player 1 wins

  • Report posts containing spoilers not using the above method

  • Don't post users' personal information.

Submission Rules

Is your post not showing up? Do not delete it. Wait 5 minutes to give AutoModerator a chance to look at it; it approves most submissions automatically. If it hasn't shown up after more than 5 minutes, simply message the moderators and ask us to let it through.

You mean SuperMarioRPG?

[–]CougarAries 27 points28 points ago

That game is like Oblivion. Everytime someone mentions it, I have to play it again.

[–]Baconpwner 6 points7 points ago

STOP RIGHT THERE CRIMINAL SCUM! You've violated the law!

[–]jackolantern_ 3 points4 points ago

oblivion

[–]flidwer 9 points10 points ago

Damn you. Looks like I need to re-install oblivion now. At least you didn't mention SimCity 4.

[–]whotheeffisyou 7 points8 points ago

FUCK must find Sim City 4. At least no one brought up Metroid Prime. I don't even know where my GameCube is anymore.

[–]BreadyMurphy 12 points13 points ago

DAMN IT. Now I've been primed to play Metriod Prime. At least no one mentioned Ocarina of Time.

[–]thezipplesszipper 7 points8 points ago

CRAP. Now I have to go play Ocarina Of time! Atleast no one mentioned Super Mario 64!

[–]pathogenXD 4 points5 points ago

I fricken love that game. Almost beat it all three times, but then I had to get rid of it because it was giving my sister nightmares.

[–]failed_novelty 7 points8 points ago

At least it wasn't Phantasmagoria II.

There, I ended the thread. No one wants to play that shit.

[–]AntiBellum 3 points4 points ago

At least no one mentioned Time Hollow.

[–]Kale187 0 points1 point ago

Ephemeral Phantasia is my Phantasmagoria 2.

[–]HeyThereSport 6 points7 points ago

Several comments later: "AW NUTS, now I have to go play Pong! At least no one mentioned going outside!"

[–]BigRubberMallet 0 points1 point ago

All toasters toast toast.

[–]Wazowski 2 points3 points ago

Super Mario 64 was a pretty good game.

[–]Pyromania37 0 points1 point ago

FIDDLESTICKS. Now I have to go play super mario 64! Atleast no one mention deus ex.

[–]Gman1012 1 point2 points ago

I would be mad, but I already have 2/3 of them installed and I'm playing through both.

[–]djlr181 4 points5 points ago

Mario is Missing.

[–]Randamba 1 point2 points ago

I never understood how to play that.

[–]crymsonnite 0 points1 point ago

Great game, I've got it and Mario's time machine

[–]PALMER13579 0 points1 point ago

You bastard

[–]HardCorwen 1 point2 points ago

Oh man, Metroid Prime! That game was fun.

[–]Meleculus 0 points1 point ago

SimCity 4.

[–]deathtoke 0 points1 point ago

Sadly, Sim City 4 won't run on 64bit Windows 7 :( I tried.

[–]starshard0 1 point2 points ago

It runs fine for me. I have it through Steam though.

[–]deathtoke 0 points1 point ago

Hmm thanks for the advice, that may be a solution. I tried installing from disc.

[–]failed_novelty 1 point2 points ago

What is a disc? I haven't seen those since the dark times.

[–]Chibbox 1 point2 points ago

Morrowind > Oblivion.

[–]messem10 0 points1 point ago

Deus Ex

[–]vull[S] 16 points17 points ago

By Darren Calvert

[–]TheGoomba -1 points0 points ago

I'd play the shit outta this

[–]HeyThereSport 0 points1 point ago

Then my advice is to watch the skies, TheGoomba.

[–]bombardactyl 22 points23 points ago

God damn it.

[–]Randall444 5 points6 points ago

I love all the attention to detail, especially the shield being a mushroom shape or the little mushroom at the bottom of the warhammer.

[–]Veritas0Aequitas 0 points1 point ago

It's got a mushroom tip!

[–]OiMouseboy 0 points1 point ago

mushroom skull crusher

[–]xxmindtrickxx 1 point2 points ago

I really like this but I wish the shield was less link like, wonder if there are some more of these...

[–]Hunt800 -5 points-4 points ago

Real attention to detail would have switched the sword and the shield. If Mario was like Link, he'd be a lefty.

[–]Rowannn 1 point2 points ago

If mario were link, he would have elf ears, wear green and be skinnier. The point is he isn't link

[–]Hunt800 -3 points-2 points ago

You don't understand. I'm trying to be a smug gamer prick exploiting the fact that I know a relatively obscure piece of trivia.

[–]MRamo 2 points3 points ago

That's not that obscure...

[–]failed_novelty -1 points0 points ago

It's almost as obscure as "Samus is a girl."

[–]MRamo 0 points1 point ago

No way! Next you're going to tell me Mario's a plumber!

[–]zzcm 2 points3 points ago

think it'll be even cooler if the shield was in the shape/form of a turtle shield

[–]numballover 2 points3 points ago

Shouldn't he have a big wrench or something plumbing related?

[–]pineapple_catapult 4 points5 points ago

Hammers have always been a part of the Mario universe =)

In Mario RPG one of the weapon classes Mario can use are hammers.

[–]Bobsutan 1 point2 points ago

Well, found my next Halloween costume

[–]meatwad1987 2 points3 points ago

i always thought he would use a plunger with spikes on the end of it

[–]shankshaw 1 point2 points ago

http://toontowncfnz.webs.com/photos/Mario-pics/Mario%20hammer%20paper%20mario%20ttyd.jpg

[–]MikeTheSpike 0 points1 point ago

Shoulda gone with Donkey Kong.

[–]magicbullets 1 point2 points ago

...he'd turn into Magnum P.I.

[–]jklantern -1 points0 points ago

UNLEASH THE HAMMER! WOOOOOOOOOO!

[–]LongIslandPizzaKing 0 points1 point ago

I would enjoy this on a shirt.

[–]Squidicide 0 points1 point ago

He has the expression of someone who's food is being eaten in front of them.

[–]Nefarious_Lobster 0 points1 point ago

Dem tunic-overalls.

[–]RandomHero13b 0 points1 point ago

Now lets see if he had weapons like Samus...

[–]dat_distraction 0 points1 point ago

I'd play it

[–]Totally_Not_A_Spy -1 points0 points ago

Apparently you have never played Super Mario all stars.

[–]anangrybanana 0 points1 point ago

Looks like it could be a part of a Miyazaki movie.

[–]jontheburger 0 points1 point ago

If you punch the mushroom into the bottom of the hammer, the hammer grows in size!

[–]AngryDeer 0 points1 point ago

Love that mushroom at the end of the handle.

[–]Ambarenya 1 point2 points ago

Thunder Hammer/ Storm Shield Mario! Must have!

[–]fredthegreat -1 points0 points ago

Nobody else thanks the attempt to make the shield mushroom shaped made it turn out looking like a veiny penis?

[–]bahamamamalama 0 points1 point ago

Super Smash Bros.

[–]JTyler82 1 point2 points ago

He's the hero Nintendo needs

[–]wowfan85 0 points1 point ago

...and for some reason a skirt...

[–]fiercepenguin 1 point2 points ago

Bowser would piss himself.

[–]NightOwl58 0 points1 point ago

If Mario had weapons like Link he would have a sword .__.

[–]Technicoloured 0 points1 point ago

Holy shit! Nintendo MMORPG..

[–]Ragna_The_Blood_Edge 0 points1 point ago

Paper Mario

[–]UNOBTANIUM 0 points1 point ago

he'd have a pipe wrench ... duh

[–]technoe 0 points1 point ago

I love the mushroom rib splitter at the bottom of the hammer.

[–]octowussy 0 points1 point ago

Hey, it's two things that I know of!

[–]tommy_walsh_34 1 point2 points ago

I'm sorry Mario if you want the weapons, you're gonna have to wear a skirt too.

[–]FlyingJunkieBaby 0 points1 point ago

HIYAAA HAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

[–]Lonelan 1 point2 points ago

sigh

Mario is obviously left handed, as he sticks out his left hand when he jumps.

[–]Stalhound 0 points1 point ago

Needs more pointy hat.

[–]devonc01 0 points1 point ago

Anyone else open and immediately think in your head the hammer-song from original Donkey Kong....

[–]tatril01 -1 points0 points ago

I would play this.

[–]Flysjan 0 points1 point ago

Guess my Atari Jaguar needs to get plugged in! Thnx Marink!

[–]failed_novelty 0 points1 point ago

No, the Jaguar needs to find itself in a ditch, covered with lime.

[–]alcakd 0 points1 point ago

Gems are truly outrageous.

[–]LuxTenebrae 0 points1 point ago

Is it just me, or does Mario kinda look like Joseph Stalin in this picture?

[–]bobear9 0 points1 point ago

Seems like mario just ate some shrooms

[–]NPeressin17 0 points1 point ago

I present to you, Paper Mario.

[–]swizardofoz 0 points1 point ago

he needs a wrench

[–]Perforathor 1 point2 points ago

I like how much he looks like some kind of communist propaganda icon...

The hammer, the pose, the 'stache, the red hat...

[–]RabbtKing 1 point2 points ago

Link + mario = the greatest part of my childhood/teenage years. Now they are together... I would totally buy a game like that

[–]upboat_ 0 points1 point ago

Mario should have a sword if he really wants to be like link!

[–]Girolmao 1 point2 points ago

This made me realize that Mario's hair and mustache aren't the same color...

[–]Tantallus 0 points1 point ago

First thing I noticed.

[–]Tobiz 0 points1 point ago

Why not a giant wrench looking thing instead of a hammer?

[–]RandomGuy5040 0 points1 point ago

Mario has always used hammers as a main weapon (besides his foot). Perhaps a wrench could be the equivalent of Link's Boomerang.

[–]anoxy 0 points1 point ago

Link has a hammer? Do I get that shit in Skyward Sword!?

[–]epicandrew 0 points1 point ago

dat shield...

[–]vonkey 1 point2 points ago

I would play this. I would play this hard.

[–]neoblackdragon 0 points1 point ago

So as opposed to being the weapon as he's always been, he has a hammer and shield?

[–]FreakNation 0 points1 point ago

love Mario, as you are :)

[–]Thoma9 -1 points0 points ago

*like Zelda

[–]Juwaisri7 0 points1 point ago

Does that mean luigi is the annoyin fairy ?

[–]pleasejustdie 1 point2 points ago

He's a plumber, the obvious weapon is a Knife-Wrench!

[–]BonTonVon 0 points1 point ago

Never understood why he had brown hair and a black mustache

[–]CyberlekVox 0 points1 point ago

I came.

[–]IggyZ 0 points1 point ago

He carries around a banhammer?

[–]o1dpain1ess 0 points1 point ago

repost from yesterday.

[–]CowsRTasty -1 points0 points ago

The Legend of.... Peach?

[–]CaseyG 0 points1 point ago

Legend of Peach: The Mushroom of Space!

[–]ToadDude -1 points0 points ago

You should of called it "If Mario had Weapons like Zelda." This subbreddit eats any thing with "What if Zelda was a Boy" in it.

[–]RetroPRO 0 points1 point ago

This subbreddit eats any thing with "What if Zelda was a Girl" in it.

....but Zelda is a girl.

[–]ToadDude 0 points1 point ago

Oup. Herp derp. Thanks for catching that :P

[–]aha2095 0 points1 point ago

Am I the only one who hates this type of stuff?

Yes the games were good but come on "OH LOOK SOMETHING TO DO WITH MARIO OR ANOTHER 90s GAME, GIVE ME KARMA" is get getting old.

[–]PrinceofIce -3 points-2 points ago

Why the fuck don't we have a mario game in the style of a legend of zelda game. What the fuck that would be awesome.

[–]Johnza23 -4 points-3 points ago

Fuck Mario and fuck Zelda... Such a shit...

[–]Link_says 0 points1 point ago

eaah!

gasp

[–]shet999 -1 points0 points ago

he would look just as retarded

[–]WarPhalange -5 points-4 points ago

Mario is left-handed. Downvote.

[–]Warphalangewatch 2 points3 points ago

Hi! I'd just like to inform everyone that this user has faked cancer for karma. This is a terrible person that you should immediately tag. Thanks!

[–]Mcflappycakes -1 points0 points ago

Mushrooms for this form aren't just found in some block w^

[–]pain_in_the_gouche 0 points1 point ago

Looks like Bolin
