The video is decent, but I’m posting it for it’s artistic value. Anybody who takes the time to make a sticky note Donkey Kong and Jumpman (Mario), is cool in my book.

Luigi has always been under appreciated. It’s so unfair. Without Luigi, they’d have to think up all new titles for Super Mario Bros. games. They even gave Mario an epic fireball special attack in Super Smash Bros Brawl, and stuck Luigi with some LCD trip dancing as a special attack. It’s ridiculous. Luigi deserves some respect dammit!

Link the DogYou may remember the most awesome guinea pig ever. Now I’ve found the most awesome dog ever.

It’s no surprise that the dog’s name is Link. His outfit is complete with the green tunic, sword, and shield. I challenge anybody reading this, to find a cooler dog, and either send it in via email or post it in the comments.

Now somebody needs to go adopt a female dog, name it Zelda, and put a dress on it. I would, but I’ve already reserved my dog to be named Hobbit, and he will be a Pug.

Check out three photos of Link below!

LEGO Donkey KongThis LEGO Donkey Kong may look cute, but deep, deep down, you know he’s still a Princess stealing, barrel tossing, gorilla jerk. I think my favorite part of it is the grin on Donkey Kong’s face. He’s bad, he knows it, and he’ll mock the hell out of you with it.

If you haven’t seen them, check out LEGO recreations of Duck Hunt, Contra, and Excite Bike. I’d like to see a LEGO version of some of my favorite old games like Joust, The Legend of Zelda, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Arcade Game. I haven’t seen LEGO Tetris yet, but I’m sure that one would be pretty easy.

Evolution of Nintendo

Posted by Mathue Shell on June 3rd, 2009 in Gaming, Nintendo, Trailers

So Nintendo took the classic Super Mario Bros. that everybody loves, and they made something new with it. Basically, this is Super Mario Bros., but you can play with 4 people, including yourself, all at one time. The graphics are updated as well. It’s pretty much the same as New Super Mario Bros. for the Nintendo DS, which was a great game.

I think this game could actually be pretty fun. Having 4 people run through the levels of Super Mario Bros., all at once, fighting over power-ups and coins, throwing each other around, battling for the top score. It’s almost like a side scrolling Super Smash Bros.

The game definitely looks like it has potential. Check out the trailer and see for yourself.
