Whenever I see a YouTube video about Nintendo in the 80s or 90s, I block it.
Not because I hate Nintendo. Far from it—half my physical game collection is for their consoles, and there’s a Famicom Mini sitting right in front of me as I write this.
But if I watch even one, the algorithm punishes me with an endless parade of “The Untold Story of Mario” videos—stories that have been told so often they might as well be oral tradition by now.
Or worse, “How Nintendo Single-Handedly Saved Video Games,” a tale that ignores the messy reality of Sega, Atari’s ghost, and a thousand microcomputer weirdos all clawing toward the same cultural resurrection. It’s not history—it’s myth-making, optimized for watch time and existential despair.
Only Nintendo clickbait stoops this low. You never see this level of stupidity for any other game company.
And honestly, who is this trash even for?
