"Welcome back to This Month in Nintendo History, where Cubed3 explores Nintendo's gaming past. As September rolls around once again and autumn begins anew, we take a look at a Nintendo game that did not stay as consistent as the seasons. A sequel that stayed faithful to its critically acclaimed predecessor in one form, yet completely deviated into another universe of insanity in another, the latter of which rolled into US stores on September 1st of 1988. Get ready with a double handshake to greet the two different Super Mario Bros. 2 games.", writes Cubed3.
The upcoming Cronela's Mansion will launch on Switch, NES, Game Boy and SNES, with the latter now set to receive physical cartridges.
Atari has acquired Intellivision. The company announced today that it had acquired its long-time rival, ending one of the original console rivalries, dating back to the 1970s.
Wow.... two of my earliest gaming platforms. All they need is Coleco to round things out.
This is like Nintendo buying SEGA.
Good piece of history here.
edit: I wanted to read it but the cookies pop up is stopping me.
This was just before my time. I do remember my mom's friend having one all dusty in her apartment back in the day.

People forget that console wars are part of the history of this industry. The console wars were started by competitive companies all the way back then and continued through Sega vs Nintendo, Jaguar/3DO/NeonGeo, and PlayStation vs Nintendo and Xbox.
These companies are across oceans and competing for the same business. These companies created the console wars, not crazy fanboys.
I had both. Snafu on Intellivision was addicting as hell. Also had Colecovision which had Time Pilot. Combat was probably my favorite Atari game and both Atari and Intellivision had similar games like Pitfall and Jungle Hunt. It’s been so long I don’t really remember which game I liked bettter out of those but I did play my Intellivision a bit more than Atari though I’m not sure why besides Snafu. That was 40+ years ago damn I’m old lol
"SNEG and Slitherine are today very happy and proud to announce that the old school "Close Combat" and "Warlords" series is now available for PC via Steam." - SNEG and Slitherine.
After all these years Nintendo should bring Doki Doki Panic onto the Virtual console I would play it.
