Yeah, Super Mario Maker 2 came out a couple of weeks ago.
For those of you that don't know, you can create any kind of level you want over all the various platform styles that the Mario games have had over the years.  The only rule is:  You can't post a level that you created to the main online server unless you can run through it once yourself to prove that it is "possible" to complete it.  That level is frankly as close to impossible as I think you can get.

Atari 7800
Atari Lynx
Dreamcast
Gameboy (Color)
Gameboy Advanced
IntelliVision
Playstation
Neo Geo

I've never heard of this-- what is this sorcery??? :)

i've thought of doing this. do they make traditional controlers for those consoles that work with the pi? i don't like using mouse/keyboard controls for those games.

Just started googling, can't believe I've never heard of Raspberry Pi.  I have several stripped-down x86 boxes that I've run Linux on over the years and turned into gateways, servers, and retro gaming consoles, but had no idea that something like Raspberry Pi existed.  I think my 9yo son would definitely get into programming on one.  

Thanks for the new information!

I have a raspberry pi with a wireless small keyboard and a wired SNES style controller hooked up to it.  I think I have 1000's of NES, SNES, Genesis and Atari games.

My earliest years on computers were Solar Fox and Frogger as cartridge games on the C64.

My earliest years on computers were programming in BASIC on my Timex-Sinclair 1000.  I later purchased an Atari 400 and did a lot of programming and gaming on it.  The 400 had a lot of the same games as 2600 on catridges, but it also had some more sophisticated games that used the tape deck for read-only mass storage.
