And in the nineteenth hundred and ninetieth year A.D., the Lord created Super Nintendo…and it was good. Upon its American release, people flocked to their nearest video game retailer and embraced the new console as a welcomed diversion from their meaningless lives filled with crappy sitcoms (i.e. Step by Step) and hair metal (i.e. Night Ranger). Also, in the same year, Nintendo decided to rename the titles of one of their most popular 8-bit games (Mike Tyson’s Punch Out!) to simply “Punch Out!.”

Truth be told, people shouldn’t give two shits about old school Nintendo game names after Super Nintendo came out …hell, I don’t think Nintendo really cared in the first place (c’mon guys….

Who cares about the past when it comes to stuff like this? Worry about the present people. That’s like our government right now cracking down on pornography by destroying old 8mm burlesque footage of two-hundred pound broads in pasties flopping around to swing music while the kiddies pound off to trannies online.
