It's always cool to see other media give little nods to Nintendo games, whether it be someone playing on a DS in a television show or an obscure reference to a Game Boy in retro-inspired films, and the latest has been spotted in the most recent issue of Marvel Team-Up.
The fourth issue of the 2019 run of the comic references Star Fox 64, even going as far as mentioning the N64's Rumble Pak. Captain Marvel starts to talk about Marvel's very own StarFox (also known as Eros), but Ms. Marvel doesn't seem to know who that is. Instead, she talks about the N64 game, saying, "It came with a Rumble Pak, right?"
You can see the page below.
To be fair, we wouldn't be able to hear the words 'Star Fox' without immediately jumping to Mr. McCloud and co., either. Still, it's nice to know that even superheroes love a bit of N64!

I was gonna say, I don't think any of the Starfox games would've shown off Fox McCloud's bedroom.
Starfox, the character I wonder why Marvel ever though was a good idea. He's older than Fox McCloud though for those wondering, from the 70s I believe.
@link3710 Being from the 70s completely explains the blacklight poster bedroom
Man seeing this i would love a crossover between Nintendo and Marvel.
Ms Marvel perfectly captures what superhero fans would be like if they were actually real. She’s definitely one of the best new heroes from this decade.
Sorry, but to me that game is Lylatt Wars and always will be
Star Fox or Mega Man X/Zero would be entertaining to put into the MCU. The latter would probably work best, as they basically already did in MVCI. Plus, heck, maybe we'd get to see Light's run-down lab in (what looks like) Colorado.
...so a quick Wikipedia search revealed to me that Marvel’s Starfox is Thanos’ brother. You learn something new every day!
(Although I’d prefer Nintendo’s Star Fox any day of the week!)
@MH4 Yep, he’ll probably turn up in The Eternals movie with Angelina Jolie and Richard Madden.
The relationship between marvel and Nintendo very different from the relationship between Nintendo and Disney as it seems
I'm more concerned about Captain Marvel knowing about Eros' bedroom. Those of us who know about his powers and that whole stuff about Carol Danvers being hypnotized to give birth to some guy many years ago... Well, it's uncomfortable.
Oh yeah, pharamone dude who was engaged to She-Hulk. Also one of the most punchable faces in Marvel that isn't an actual nazi. XD
@nessisonett she's certainly interesting. I wouldn't go so far as to say she's the best but she's interesting.
I’m hurt that these characters are paired with Nintendo in anyway. #NotMyMarvel
Do a barrel roll
WILL NEVER TOP ALL 2009 TECH BEING IN SUMMER WARS
Nice reference.
