This conversation reminds me that I will always be grateful to Diggin’ in The Carts for letting me know about Capcom’s Fujita Yasuaki doing freelance gig for **Tarot Mystery** and composing this sweet-ass track _What is your birthday?_
We don‘t seem to have a Show me anything Nintendo thread yet, so I’ll just leave this here. I previously mentioned my undertaking of ACF Fiorentina on Football Manager in another thread, which has lead me to perusing various pieces of club paraphernalia. Being a capital G Gamer, I'm of course acquainted with their Nintendo branded shirts of the late 90s.
What I'd never seen, were these shirts with the one and only jumping man printed right on them ([story here](https://www.theguardian.com/football/the-gentleman-ultra/2020/dec/23/mystery-fiorentina-cult-super-mario-football-shirt)). Long story short, no one really knows where these kits came from, but there is brief footage of Fiorentina players wearing training apparel with this specific Mario graphic slapped on it, lending credence to the idea it could be official merchandise.
And here's a bonus photo I enjoy of Arsenal and Olympique Lyonnais squaring off in 2001. Video games! They're big now! Surely the sky is the limit for these two promising properties!
