The 90s man — a time when kids got sent to therapy over Super Mario World and lady news anchors wore three-toed sloths on their heads.
A new Nintendo console is coming out this weekend, which means therapists better brace themselves for the wave of “Nintenpendent” families about to flood their offices. What? You’ve never heard about Nintendo therapy? It’s a 100% real thing that’s totally actually happening according to early 90s local news reports!
Hold your children close and hit the jump for the scary truth…
Whaaaat? This new set-up costs MORE than the old one and you CAN’T mix-and-match?! F-Zero? Pfft. Clearly a mere updated take on a fairly well known format. I’m not being taken in. You can take your damn videos and marketing meant to make me spend more money back to JAPAN Nintendo. Besides, I like Sega’s pictures better.

That’s Colleen Williams, she anchors KNBC in Los Angeles and she still has weird hair. Oh local news, please never change.
[Googles her].
Huh, she hasn’t aged that badly — in the sense that she looked 55 when she was 35 and still looks 55 now that she’s actually 55.
Yeah that’s a thing with LA women, they hit a certain point and just “magically” stop aging. I blame it on Aquanet and pilates.
Its also seriously amazing that their “expert” spends his part of the segment driving the WRONG WAY down the racetrack. I would pay to see this guy review Battletoads.
Mid-70s to Mid-80s was a golden age for L.A. Anchors. Most of the best ones are retired or dead now. Jerry Dunphy FTW.
How about Paul Magers? I’m in Minnesota, he was our anchor during my childhood. He had all of the housewives swooning. I can only imagine he’s still doing his thing.
Nintenpendance and Segaddiction nearly crippled this great nation.
At least we were spared the horrors of Vectrexia.
Whoa, so companies market things to make you spend more money? It all makes sense now.
