Super Mario Bros. (NES)

Could this be the "definitive" Nintendo game...

Game of the Day

Name: Super Mario Bros.

Released: 1985

Developer: Nintendo

Platform: Nintendo Entertainment System

It makes sense to start at the beginning of Nintendo's success in the video game industry. Widely regarded as one of the most influential games of all time, it tells the tale of a plumber named Mario who's mission is to defeat the antagonist Bowser and rescue the princess of the Mushroom Kingdom, Peach. With its recognisable tunes and familiar levels that have still managed to stand the test of time even 30 years after its initial release, there's little doubt that this game is a contender for the title.
