Look, I haven't really enjoyed a Mario game since Doki Doki Panic got turned into our Super Mario 2, fellas. I find them competent and see what people like about them, but they're not for me.
Because you totally knew about Doki Doki Panic before the internet or it was turned into SMB2 and released as such in the US, amirite? way to be cool and edgy!

Or it's a way to say that he liked what another company has done more than what Nintendo has done. It could be that.

How about that? Stark gets it. Way to try and be cool and insulting, Hazerd.

I actually really liked "SMB 2" more than most of the other Mario games for awhile too. It has this really welcoming charm. After I went back and played them all years ago I found Mario 3 to be the best one though. Either way the existence of Mega Man and Ninja Gaiden on NES pretty much make it so I never touch Mario games.

People should stop using the terms "PSX" and "GCN". And "oXbox", but I think we've already discussed that topic on this thread if I recall correctly.
Not only is PSX factually incorrect by now, it's also illogical. Unlike any other console manufacturer, Sony decided to to name their consoles using a chronological order, so PS(1), PS2, PS2 and PS4 are very clear and logical terms. Even ignoring the fact that Sony has indeed launched a PSX, I still don't see a reason to use the term as no other console is reffered to as by their development name. People don't call the GameCube the "Project Dolphin".
"GameCube Nintendo". No console is named like that. You don't talk about the "Wii Nintendo", "Game Boy Advance Nintendo" or the "Genesis Sega". So why would you say GCN? Even if you said NGC, the letter N would still be redundant. What else GameCube would you be referring to? The Commodore GameCube? Sure there is the Panasonic Q, but it's rare, and the abbreviation should refer to the standard base model. People don't abbreviate Genesis/Mega Drive as "SGenesis" or "SMD" just because there is a LaserActive console that can play Sega games. Ditto PC Engine.

Except for the fact that when you say: oXbox, GCN, and PSX, people know exactly what you're talking about. There is no ambiguity, so who cares? That's as dumb as getting worked up about people saying SNES like a word instead of each letter individually.

I still think we should go: Xbox, 360, XBONE.

There is in the case of PSX.
The problem isn't that terms are unclear, the problem is that they're illogical.
