Classic Game Room HD - MARIO BROTHERS for Atari 2600 review

[raphaelfassarela]

Amazing! Mario's games are always great!

[Nanofuture87]

You can find this game (with better graphics) on the NES / Wii Virtual Console.

[MultiBr3tt]

this game was the multi player mode in smb3 and it eventualy became a bonus game on some gba mario games

[TheExtremSaft]

@Megaultraawesome99 i own a xbox, i love my xbox, but i only use it to play classic games or the atari anthology. fuck modern gaming, fuck everything.

[theowlsofouterheaven]

I never knew there was a Mario game on the 2600 O.o I'm a Mario veteran/nerd also. :b I heard about this on your Super Mario 3D Land review.

[GamingTvx1]

what a shitty game

[damprumpan]

@GamingTvx1 its fucking 28 years old.

[GamingTvx1]

@damprumpan Yeah and Pacman is 31 years old. Even for its time, this game looks terrible.

[damprumpan]

@GamingTvx1 nuh-uh, its-a-fun.

[JaphethMario21st]

Okay I'm comfuse if you say in the intro is hd is not hd

[mlacher100]

I liked playing that when I was younger. I still have my copy!

[manofaction6]

why did he say infamous

[GamerNinjaX]

@manofaction6 probably the fact that it overshadowed everything else, including atari.

[Zakscary99]

Hell no! Nintendo would not put Mario on the Xbox!

[bosefasaurus]

@harrow. L2QQ.

[ClassyMexican]

if nintendo owned mario why was mario on the atari ?

[SMB3Fan123]

@ClassyMexican Mario was on the Atari because they had the permission to do so.

[MCTV1000Faqs]

@ClassyMexican this was before the NES.. back then Nintendo had no hardware console to put their games on, just like SEGA does now :)

[GamerNinjaX]

@ClassyMexican because nintendo never had a console at the time, the atari came out like 7 years before the NES. so, nintendo was a multiplat company until they made the revolutionary console that would change video games forever.

[biteme294]

DON'T @*%! WIT GANSTAH LE LU LO WIT GREEN MARIO

[ejmaster1100]

ahh i miss this intro

[1337fidoS10]

....Xbox live arcade? ...you do realize Nintendo has the rights to everything Mario Bros, right? >_>

[SkullCandyBLN]

@1337fidoS10 Then why did it get on Atari systems and other stuff?

[prelude92jdm777]

its coo l when u play the updated version of this in super mario 3 does anybody like thate;fjf;lbk

[spartan2222222222222]

wtf? i thought this is nintendo?

[GamerNinjaX]

@spartan2222222222222 it is, but it came out before the NES, Nintendo actually became known in the arcade.

[thenerfblasterfreak]

@spartan2222222222222 DUDE ARE YOU DEAF? HE SAID THAT IT WAS ORIGINALLY ON THE ATARI. Now it is Nintendo that produces these games.

[RazorBeamz]

@thenerfblasterfreak It was originally in the arcade though.

[GloverMist1]

Why Xbox Live Arcade? We're talking Nintendo here, let's make it WiiWare!

[harrow86]

PS3 is a just a cheap bluray player, Xbox sucks (I've been through 5 of them RROD)

when the last one broke I built myself a PC, which can run any game better than any console on the market, also I don't find myself playing against degenerates and kids who arn't even old enough to play such games as Battlefield BC or COD, cheaters are also at a minimum when playing online games on PC. Consoles are for kids lets keep it that way

[ExodoPics]

2:46 Mario on Xbox? are you sure you know what your doing?

[8hobo8]

My body is ready. To carry the big bin up from my basement that has all my Atari 2600 stuff in it.

[a36445]

i have this videogame for the computer

[thevideogamemaster07]

I like Mario!!!,

[NWpowerhouse85]

Unless you're being a dick to someone in SMB3, this game is no longer entertaining for anything over 21 seconds.

[almostlunar4]

yea hit those animals!!!!

[paleo99]

When I was a kid I made it to level 52 before I died. I was really hoping for a good ending but I guess we'd had to wait until 1985 for that!

[macthelost]

i bet Super Mario Bros. the movie was out before Mario Bros.

[shadowhexogram]

Mario bros was a secondary release on almost all the game boy advance remake games it was insane it was on all of them for no reason they could have switched it out with simple donkey kong or something else.

[nicholascooney]

Wouldn't it make more sense to be on virtual console as opposed to Xbox live arcade seeing how this is MARIO BROS.

[pyronerd100]

they have this game updated on the same cartrage as super mario bros 3 on the game boy advanced

[TalesOfReason]

You're not going to see a Nintendo game remade on Xbox Live Arcade...

[joujou264]

Wtf you talkin bout? Nintendo would never allow any other company to copy mario, how the fuck did it get on atari?

[GodzillaXAbudAwwal]

@joujou264 this was before the nes was out, all they had was game and watch n color tv game, they where more into liscencing and arcade back the

[WenGobou]

@joujou264 It came out before the NES.

[panzer10533]

he sounds tired..

[54jomamma]

@ohnoesmaybe I knew that

[Haeinscute]

amazing graphics! lol I've only played the NES version

[pooperscoop54321]

this game will never be remade on xbox live because nintendo owns these characters

[54jomamma]

merrio?

[McScreamo]

i knew mario was in atari before nintendo! i always knew i was right and he was wrong.

[1983jedigirl]

Dozen of games, try over 100

[Exodroid]

This brings me back so much ... this was my first ATARI 2600 game I got. Wow, I feel so old lol

[stufaman]

My fave game on 2600 and still got it. Somehow this version seems more fun than the following updated versions.

[gamecollect101]

Which pixel is Mario?

[qahtani]

I had the 7800 version of this which was pretty faithful to the arcade one. This is the first time ti see the 2600 one In action though and I'm surprised how well it looked. Was this programmed by Nintendo or Atari?9? I always wondered how Atari got the licensing for this on the 5200 & 7800; if Atari bought the licensing flat out it would make sense. Hard to see Nintendo approve it after the NES came out.

[TangFiend]

@qahtani Nintendo tried to partner with Atari and sell content to them in it's earliest days in the US.

[altonblast5]

your wrong this was marios first apperence in donkey kond it was marios dad

[PickleSlayer]

@altonblast5 No, that was Mario in Donkey Kong. The ape in that game was Cranky Kong, however, where as the current Donkey Kong was DK Jr. in... Donkey Kong Junior.

[MrBoo3201]

@PickleSlayer your wrong because in donkey kong marios name was jumpboy

[PickleSlayer]

@MrBoo3201 It was Jumpman, actually, and that still doesn't change the fact that he's the exact same character we play as in current Mario titles.

[NINJACH0P957]

I first played this on the GBA port of Yoshi's Island back when I was little.

[shakysyxx]

i never knew...mario was on atari.....and i thought marios first game was Wrecking Crew? LOL

[ShY1CAS]

i think it was the advanced technology at the time which

made the atari so much fun

simple concepts make games easier to play

the arcade cabinet is also something different from other arcade machines

a great concept..

[ATgruppe80]

i remember playing this on the ds

[karjala55]

I truly wonder what Games come out in future O. o

[EASTWICKgames]

this was originally in the arcades

[mediawasteland]

@RETROGAMER2020 I can't speak for him exactly, but i have about 20 different systems and 1500+ games, and i have bought them mainly at Thrift stores, Flea markets, and pawn shops. It becomes a hobby building a good vintage collection. But, it takes time, i started about 2 and a half years ago, and have had good seasons for finds, and really bad ones. It just takes patience. You have to have a good eye too. And have a good understanding of value of games, or else you will get ripped off quickly.

[mediawasteland]

@mediawasteland Stay away from "Vintage" game shops. They sell the same stuff garage sales and thrift stores do, but they will charge you 10 times as much. If you take that route, 100 dollars later you will have about 10 games. Only buy from those guys if you A. Know you are not getting ripped off, B. Can't find it anywhere else, but most Atari and NES games are common except for a few. Be aware though, it is an incredibly addictive hobby, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! I hope that advice helps. :)

[FelixAdler]

@mediawasteland Its funny you should say that, because I agree with you on a lot of what you say with the whole thrift stores and garage sales. The only downside to those is you have to clean the games when you get them. There is a place that I go that sells classic games and system and that is pretty much all he sells. And his prices on the games are nicely priced. They are either the "Right" price for the game or cheaper. I mean I have gotten games cheaper from their store than the flea market

[mediawasteland]

@FelixAdler Well then your pretty lucky. There is a store in my town locally which i love. But it would have been terrible for building my collection. It's prices are just to high. It is admittedly an awesome store for specific items, but not for common games. Other than that one store, my town is pretty lacking. There is a chain, and a few places here and there which carry some stuff. Most chains though locally are actually 3 times ebay prices, which is just strange.

[pyrobezita4ever]

pizza anyone :D

[SardaukarPrime]

Oh the irony...

[spacemarshmallow]

im sorry but it just disturbs me that nintendo made games for other consoles

[EFWgaming]

My friend just bought a comador 64, n64 NES and a Dreamcast =] I love it

[eletricdragonrulez]

@EFWgaming WHERE TELL ME NOW OR I WILL FUCKING MURDER YOUR FAMILY

please?

[EFWgaming]

@eletricdragonrulez I'm scurred

[eletricdragonrulez]

@EFWgaming TELL ME !?!??!?!?!?

:'(

[NonstopRam]

@eletricdragonrulez I saw a dreamcast in a secondhand store. In Baldwin Park, California...

I live 30 miles from that place.

[RattyRandnums]

@RETROGAMER2020 He's mentioned flea markets and used stores before. Also the internet I'm sure.

[sweetannabee]

me and my bro don't forget the classics!!!!!!!!!!

[a1rh3add]

2:25 Yep thats a bug.. oh the irony...

[TheTKCreborn]

why would they remake it for Xbox Live Arcade when it's a Nintendo game. If anything it'd be remade as a WiiWare game. Besides it was remade for Super Mario Bros. 3 and was also in the remake of Super Mario Bros. 3 in Super Mario All-Stars for SNES. Not to mention it was also in Super Mario Advance and Mario and Luigi: Super Star Saga for Gameboy Advance :P

[DrunkMiX]

I remember going to the arcade as a kid with my uncle and playing this game all the day long...

good times...

[ira580]

"Just because the graphics are better doesn't mean the game is better"-AVGN , Atari Jaguar

[New7Dry]

this is the best game for Atari 2600

[mrshanegt]

@New7Dry no one of the best games on atari

[supercooldude2121]

@New7Dry This is the best game for PS3

[TheCompleteWeirdo]

@New7Dry No custers revenege is.

[RaterTotz]

[123deathbymonkeys]

ps3 could not manage these graphics

[dokidoku26]

@123deathbymonkeys yes it could

[supercooldude2121]

@123deathbymonkeys XBOX COULD

[moneywaffle2666]

@123deathbymonkeys

actually ps3 generates better graphics don't say lies just cuz your a die hard Xbox 360 fan,my girlfriend has a game system guess what it is a Xbox 360 like every other girl ps3 is for guys Xbox is for the kids

[Transylvania1792]

@moneywaffle2666 its called sarcasm :)

[FuckingCrazyLunatic]

Don't trip ps3 fanboy cause your not making sense.

[moneywaffle2666]

@FuckingCrazyLunatic

i do make sense its just that your slow and premature intellect is to pathetic to generate words in a different comprehension

[FuckingCrazyLunatic]

Why bother commenting if you're logic is retarded.

[TyonGera]

@moneywaffle2666 Small time man, small time.

It's all about the mouse and keyboard.

[undeadmonsterwil]

@123deathbymonkeys Fanboy

[Megaultraawesome99]

@undeadmonsterwil xbox fans always start the flame wars...

[KingEdgeHead]

@Megaultraawesome99 I own all 3 new ones and playstation fanboys always start shit with me. so dont pull that

[44automag117]

@123deathbymonkeys nope their too damn shitty

[CStars55]

@123deathbymonkeys Or this gameplay

[GamerNinjaX]

@123deathbymonkeys if the playstation 3 was a robot it would say: "COLOR???? CANT COMPREHEND *BOOM* " lol

[spacemarshmallow]

y did you say 'long before'? this game was made the same year as the nes version

[CHAOSin8bits]

mario bros. on nes is the best port

[lemonlimestiv]

i like seeing nintendo on atari

[godofwar4ever22]

my grand mother has super mario brothers for the atari 2600

[vcolinc]

@godofwar4ever22 Your grandmother has an atari 2600? Is it the year 2050 already?! :D

[teamnoah111]

I Played It For GBA When It Came Out One Of Super Mario Advance Game

[emachines007]

@teamnoah111 me too. i remember that was the bomb

[bland9876]

I like this game on the game boy best because the intro is different and the controls are just like the super Mario controls the wii virtual console has the retarded NES bad control version and Mario and his brother don't hit the words mario bros

[iludmik]

lol ppl like playing this shit? lol @ "just becuz the graphics are better doesnt mean the game is better"

Why play a game that has shit graphics with good gameplay when i can play a game with good graphics and good gameplay.

[MrTURBOJOHN]

lol, he wants this game remade for xbox live arcade, what about wii virtual console, because, mmmm, MARIO, nintendo, no xbox and stuff...

[soulshower]

This was my game back in tha day! I used to get to the icicle levels in the coin-op!!

[YoshiTechnoManMaster]

Don't forget about game number 1, on the odyssey.

[jerzy862]

The first mario console game wasnt on the NES?

Mind=Blown

[Broyale26]

@jerzy862

Cocks=Blown by me

[jerzy862]

@Broyale26 cool story bro

[Broyale26]

@jerzy862

Yeah, ,my story was cool, yours was just stupid.

[MrChickflip999]

WHERES THE SQUIRREL!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TheBatmanfreak101]

MAIRO ON ATARI? thats like putting halo on ps3

[MRrobotchicken666]

@TheBatmanfreak101 i wish it would happen

[101Goomba]

WHAT DID ATARI DO DO MARIO BROS!!!!!!!!!!

[jrkilla78777]

plz CGR review SMG2

[TheEscapedBalloon]

This game should be more popular. It is AWESOME.

[lexidance5]

mario made his fist appearance in 1981

[StuffJunkers]

Mario Bros. om XBLA? HAHAHA, that's a good joke. Mario Bros. has been remade a couple times and it had a 16 bit remake that came with Super Mario Advance, Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World, Super Mario Advance 3: Yoshi's Island, Mario and Luigi: Super Star Saga and Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

[StuffJunkers]

@StuffJunkers Besides I don't think Nintendo and Microsoft will ever collaborate since the former president of Nintendo told Microsoft CEO to suck his balls XD

[360Gojira]

@StuffJunkers did he actually say that

[chugaaconroynumber2]

in this game mario looks kinda like waluigi...

[TOGtv1]

he is a carpenter not a plumer

[SNESosT]

@TOGtv1 WAS A CARPENTER

[FobbiesAreOwnage]

@overruleddood it says copyright nintendo, atari put Mario bros on there before the NES.

[MrMynameismine]

Man, fuck these long intro's.....

[FraginNoobs]

ALL KETCHUP IS CHICKEN PERIOD BLOOD!!!!!

[MattTheSaiyan]

I like playing "Mario Bros" on the 2600 because it's like perverting history.

[Luigi84289]

This is better than the 7800 game. I always like blue hat mario over red the standard now.

[jblackbath]

Sadly, it'll never make it to Xbox live arcade since Miyamoto and Nintendo will sue in a heartbeat.

[5k4k1dhtp]

@jblackbath it could make it to the virtual console though, I'm kind of surprised he asked for it on the XBLA when it's a Nintendo game...

[sobekflakmonkey]

@5k4k1dhtp agreed, i was just thinking that....

[albinolucario]

if it werent for mario bros, warp pipes and koopa troopas wouldnt be well known

[anassgame]

i look for an Atari 2600 the original one whene can i buy it ?

[hoques1432]

@anassgame Try eBay. For a complete system with some games and accessories you will likely pay about $30 if you do it right :)

[stoltobot]

i remember this and double dragon only on the 2600. I never saw the original mario bros for the nes

[MattTheSaiyan]

There is something very novel about games with Mario characters on Non-Nintendo systems.

[NintendoGamingFun]

MARIO WHERE ARE YOU!?

[Earthium]

looks like super mario bro 3 battle mode

[NintendoGamingFun]

@Earthium thats because it is fucktart :3

[YoshiFan978]

@Earthium Super Mario Bros 3 battle mode was a copy of this

[OverruledDood]

i love how nintendos mascot is so fucking famous yet he's a stolen character

fanboys sure know how to pick'em, lol...

[stoltobot]

@OverruledDood ??

[whaowman]

omg! mario sprite looks like that "lamb oil, ropes, bombs, you want it?" guy from link: faces of evil!

[gameman64141]

Wasn't this an arcade game before it was an atari game?

[IMZEECATMAN]

yse strategieS to kill the other player? i thought there was only 1 real strategy.

[MRrobotchicken666]

1983? mario started killing animals coz he was listening to kill em all

[Luigi84289]

@MRrobotchicken666 It was because of Donkey Kong Jr when he first found his love for animal torture.

[danecook321]

@MRrobotchicken666 He's gonna Seek & Destroy!

[basketballjocks]

@MRrobotchicken666 YES..also seek and destroy

[XxKeNoHxX]

@MRrobotchicken666 hahahaha helll yea, metallica

[GrimmShadowsII]
