Is someone deadass saying Pac Man is obscure? Really? More obscure than Fire Emblem? If I walk up to a random person on the street they’re more likely to know who Samus is than Pac Man? I show them a photo of Ness from Earthbound and they totally recognize him just as well as they would Mario but Pac Man is an anomaly? More people recognize Steve and Isabelle than fucking Mario? Super Fucking Mario? Do you know how many people know about Donkey Kong? Miis have had more of a cultural impact than Donkey Kong? Do you really think more people have touched a Game & Watch than have played Final Fantasy 7? This doesn’t even make sense from a “terminally online” perspective cause I know damn well none of y'all have shut up about Persona 5 Switch Port When for five years straight. What even is this? How did this come to be? You could’ve thrown random logos at this meme template and would have probably been more accurate. 8,000 people are playing Tekken on Steam alone as I write this at fucking 3AM and you think it’s as dead of a franchise as an NES peripheral robot that played 3 games that all sucked. That Castlevania show that’s been praised online for years on end really did mean way less to society than Duck Hunt. More people can identify Raymond Animalcrossing than Pikachu. Ice Climbers haven’t had a game in THIRTY SEVEN YEARS but they still have more cultural relevancy than fucking Splatoon. The entire Street Fighter franchise sold 46 million units with $10 billion in revenue from SF2 alone and even fucking talk show hosts know about it but its not even on the list cause Ice Climbers had one game for the NES which impacted more people than fucking Banjo Kazooie.

How the fuck is banjo kazooie obscure. People yahe been asking for then in smash since 64
