Mario no Photopi

source: wikipedia_enMario no Photopi is an image editing video game developed by Nintendo, Tokyo Electron, Fuji Photo Film, Datt Japan, and Hagiwara Syscom for the Nintendo 64. It was published by Tokyo Electron Device and distributed by Hagiwara Syscom exclusively in Japan on December 2, 1998. The cartridge uniquely features two SmartMedia memory card slots, to import digital camera photos. The game is primarily a photo retouching tool with gamified elements. The player can decorate imported images with Mario-themed clip art, borders, and fonts to create slideshows, postcards, and other printable assets. It was originally marketed as an alternative to expensive personal computers, utilizing the Nintendo 64 and its planned 64DD floppy drive as a high-capacity home media station. Vice retrospectively compared it to Photoshop and Mario Paint. Because the cartridge requires a SmartMedia card to function, Mario no Photopi was historically difficult to emulate and became a rare collector's item. In 2017, an unofficial patch was released to run the game "cardless" on emulators.
