Why does Mario speak with a mama mia Italiano accent if he's from Brooklyn?
>>
Movies aren't canon to games.
>>
He's Italian-American. A lot of Italians immigrated to New York lol.

"'Ey Luigi where's da gabagool?"

Because Martinet thought it would be more appealing to kids and Miyamoto didn't know English that well back then so he couldn't really distinguish between an American speaking English and an Italian speaking English. If Miyamoto knew what it would do to the perception of Mario he'd probably have put the kibosh on it.

Game Mario isn't from Brooklyn, he was born in the Mushroom Kingdom, worked in New Donk City and went back.

Why did Boomers and Greatest Gen localizers think making things as retarded and nonsense as possible when localizing a foreign product was somehow good for that product's success?

I find it funny how today's Americans are all anti-immigration when 70% of them are third gen shitalian mutts

Italy should sue Nintendo for cultural appropriation

I get what you're saying but even as late as the N64, Miyamoto was still talking about Mario being an Italian-American from Brooklyn. I don't even think he ever really cared about the Yoshi's Island origin beyond "holy shit look at how much merchandise we can slap the baby characters on" and why the movie version goes back to this classic telling of Mario being an American who accidentally went to the Mushroom Kingdom.

This is why Bob Hoskins' Mario will always be the best Mario.

Well, as they say in Brooklyn: HEUUUUUUUUURGHHHHHHHHH

90% of white americans have no italian blood and italians are not white.
>>
>>743851475
because now they're importing arabs and indians
also africans
>>
>>743851475
Italians(Romans) historically dominated the world and it was only a brief period of smug Angliod faggotry that created this concept that they were white and itailians were inferior.

We have all of human history to show that it was a brief delusion of the anglosphere where as Africa shows us how bad shit can get.

lots of wop itt to prove my point

>We won this fight!
You were also swamp retards at some point, the entire point is you can't just suddenly git gud at global domination, then conclude that the previous empire were a bunch of backwords retards and inferior to you.

My point isn't about whether or not Anglos or Meds are better, the point is America accepting both and to no surprise flourishing as a result doesn't make America hypocritical for not wanting loads of Mexicans.
It's that disingenuous notion that "prejudice is always wrong" that anon was going with.

What did they mean by this?

>>743857495
How does turning an alien bat from metroid into a "bone in the hair" negro straight out of loony tunes embody a prideful example of "making it our own"?

That's embarrassing, it tonally doesn't fit the source material, it doesn't really mean anything. It's almost making fun of it.
Like "Videogames ARE like firing bottle rockets at Jiggaboos on the street!".

It insults the viewer.
