That's not true, as you'll see with my new game, Mario and Birdo vs. the Ketchupsteak Bandits at the 2020 Olympics.

I mean, what kind of monster would want to degrade the Mario brand when Nintendo has put out such masterpieces as Mario Teaches Typing, the Mario's Early Years games, Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, Hotel Mario, Mario's Time Machine, Mario Party 10, Mario Party: Star Rush, Mario Party 5, Mario is Missing!, Mario Clash, and Mario Kart: Super Circuit?

Yep. But it could mean people can republish the originals.

All this means is that the shitty Chinese "600 Game!" things sold in the middle of mall aisle-ways aren't quite as legally dubious anymore.

lol... I think by the time the copyright expires on those, we'd probably have found new ways to entertain ourselves.

(but there will always be retro gamers... or retro vintage?)
