You’d be hard-pressed to write ANY video game listicle and not include GTA–it’s the second-best-selling video game ever for a reason. As far as fun poker mini-games go, this one is right up there. Outside of using a different deck of cards, the game plays very similarly to five-card draw.Īfter some deep reflection, and with the benefit of hindsight, I’ve realized that spending so much time on Mario 64 as a kid probably influenced some of my career choices (whether that’s right or wrong is for another article). One of the stand-out games was Picture Poker, a version of poker that saw you test your skills against Luigi. The updated platformer comes with a selection of mini-games which, it’s fair to say, were quite mixed in quality. Super Mario 64 DS was a remake of the legendary and all-parts seminal N64 launch game, Super Mario 64, from the mind of VG GOAT Shigeru Miyamoto.
As it turns out, though, our two favorite Italian plumbers know their way around the felt. And if it is, I don’t know what to tell you. When you think of Mario and Luigi, chances are, poker isn’t the first thing that springs to mind.
