This is a 100% real, rejected promotional poster for the first Mario Strikers game. I have no words. pic.twitter.com/IxDlsJb63Y — Liam Robertson (@Doctor_Cupcakes) November 17, 2014

Nintendo was clearly defiant back in the day and it shows with this aggressive promotional poster for the original Mario Strikers which launched on the GameCube back in 2005. It’s fairly obvious why the poster was eventually canned, but it’s certainly a good one.

Thanks, Michelle
