35 years ago today, the Super Nintendo and Super Mario World hit North America as a bundle (August 23, 1991). Gamers rushed out not just for Mario and Yoshi, but to play launch-window favorites like F-Zero, Pilotwings, SimCity, and Gradius III. The 16-bit powerhouse was a massive success, racking up over 49.1 million console sales worldwide. Super Mario World topped the charts as the system’s biggest hit, selling more than 20.6 million copies on its own. #supernintendo #nostalgia #supermarioworld #yoshi #retrogaming
