Re: Super Mario Bros. Wonder English Voice Actors Officially Announce Their Characters

@mattitudemf so here's the really funny thing though with the word British - the Scots, the English, the Welsh and the Irish are all technically just as "British" as each other. Because Britain actually refers to the 2 land masses (the British isles) that make up the UK and Ireland.

England, Scotland, Wales = "Great Britain" (just the one big island)

England, Scotland, Wales & Northern Ireland = "United Kingdom" (countries under administrative control of the crown)

England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland & republic of Ireland = "The British isles" (both of the islands)

I find when most North Americans say "British" they actually mean "English".

But I understand that none of this info about 2 tiny islands is even remotely important to people who live on the otherside of the planet. I knew basically nothing of the cultural intricacies of North America outside Hollywood movies before I moved here 😅

@mattitudemf he's saying he gets frustrated that North Americans in general think of the UK as a collection of 4 "states" when in fact they are actually individual countries in a union together so it's like saying "European accent" rather than German or Italian. The Scots are very protective of there country, probably because the English have consistently tried to purge and erase their entire culture and language over the centuries. So you know he's passionate about defending Scotland - maybe abit too much on a gaming website but you know 🤷

@JohnnyMind thank you so much! Hopefully you will get some time soon! It's not a massive game so will only take about an hour for some one familia with NES style platformers to whiz through to the end - although each level has multiple paths and secrets that you can go find for replay value.

@B_Lindz unfortunately not, the only other version I have is an android version, but it has less content and has more of a Game Gear feel to it than NES. It's on the play store as "Super Dinoblasters GG"
