A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

Mine is the Army Men series. Objectively mediocre games at best but the concept of toy soldiers fighting over our yards and rooms has always been cool to me

The New Super Mario Bros. series is far from the first Mario games I played seeing as I was born in the 80's - but damnit they are all among my favorites. File this in the category of "I had no idea people didn't love these as much as I do" up until only a handful of years ago when I started spending more time on online video game communities.

I'll argue that New Super Mario Bros. wii is my favorite of the bunch, but U is also wonderful!

I also think the wii version was better than the switch version but they’re both awesome games. I also had no idea people didn’t like NSMB for switch until the announcement trailer for Wonder dropped. But for someone who’s first Mario game was Super Mario Bros 3, that whole series/style of gameplay will forever be what Mario is to me.
