Nintendo Times Radio 125: The NES & Super Mario Bros. Turn 35
The NES released in the US on October 18, 1985 so we take a look back at the launch and discuss some of our favorite games for the classic 8-bit powerhouse. It’s also the 35th anniversary of Super Mario Bros. so we thought it would be appropriate to do a proper Top 10 list of our favorite games in the series!

SHOW NOTES:
Nintendo Times Radio is a podcast covering the entire spectrum of the video game universe. Unlike the site, we often discuss games and topics unrelated to Nintendo. In other words, even if you’re not the biggest Nintendo fan out there, we hope you’ll find some value in our conversations and topics. Here’s what’s in store for this episode:
