BBC morning show talks about retro games jokes, game consoles and cassettes do not match

Professor Nick Poole, CEO of the British Game Industry Association (UKIE), discussed the growing popularity of retro games in the UK in the BCC morning show with an average viewership of 6.5 million.However, what is most popular on social media is the retro console settings brought to the BBC by the CEO.There is a Super Nintendo Game Console (SFC) on the show, but its card slot is filled with a red and white machine (NES) cassette "Super Mario Bros.", which damages the credibility of the retro theme.

After the show was broadcast, UKIE explained the mistake, saying that the game console setting error was the blame for the BBC morning program studio team, not Poole's responsibility."To maintain transparency, the studio display settings were done independently by the studio team, and the consoles were also placed - unfortunately, we couldn't adjust them during the live broadcast."

However, many social media users criticized the mistake.A social media user who shared a photo of a retro gaming console with the wrong setup wrote: "I want to call the police." Another netizen added: "I bet they tried to force the cartridge into the Wii console at the beginning."

This wrong setting has also caused anger among gaming industry insiders on LinkedIn.Someone wrote: "It's creepy. I know it's not that UKIE assembled these devices, but it does illustrate a broader issue: there is still fundamental misunderstanding of video games in the public."

Although, the show is designed to emphasize the growing popularity of retro games in the UK, it is obvious that people are paying attention to this extremely low-level mistake.
