If only this were the actual music playing during the castle levels…Somebody make a mod please.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii hit shelves yesterday, and is definitely at the top of my list of games to buy. With all the Modern Warfare 2, Left 4 Dead 2, and Assassin’s Creed II, it’ll be nice to give the Wii some attention and play a less bloody game. I doubt the mayhem level will change much though. With the new 4 player mode, I’ll be picking people up and intentionally throwing them down holes and into enemies, just to make sure I collect the most coins.

Sure, Peach may be a man, but this is still awesome.

A gamer will do whatever it takes to get his game on. If that means going to Walmart, getting down on your knees, and playing the demo Nintendo DS, so be it. There is no shame when you’re talking about a man, and his need to play.

I almost feel bad this guy has to go to such extremes though. Just think of all the kids with dirty, grubby hands who have played that DS before. Wiping their snot and tear soaked hands all over it after their parents refuse to buy them one. It definitely can’t be good for the knees either.

It was all a hallucination. Don’t do mushrooms, kids. Not even Super Mushrooms.

Join together in supporting our Koopa Troopas in their fight against the evil Italian plumbers who invade the Mushroom Kingdom.

There are no birds in the clouds, only Birdo.

Whoa, this is creepy. Without his signature mustache, Mario looks like a freshly delivered baby. I’m not sure I can ever play a Mario game ever again without seeing his naked cartoon body.

I’m not even sure what to say about this. What were they thinking? This commercial, in no way, makes me want to go out and buy The Legend of Zelda. At least this weird Japanese Legend of Zelda commercial is entertaining.

This is a logical solution to an illogical problem. Boo doesn’t have to worry about Mario or Luigi looking at his face, if he has no face look at it. Question is, why is Boo afraid of people looking at his face in the first place? He’s a damn ghost, he ain’t afraid of no ghosts plumbers. Sorry, I was thinking about the Ghostbusters song. Now it’s stuck in my head.

Abraham Lincoln’s face is a very versatile canvas. He can pull of Super Mario Lincoln, Teenage Mutant Ninja Lincoln, and even Mighty Morphin’ Power Lincoln.

All Nintendo, all the time. When you’re not spending your time playing Nintendo video game, you can solve Nintendo puzzles! While wearing your Nintendo pajamas and Yoshi slippers! No? Just me?

The Nintendo Rubik’s Cube is the same as a regular Rubik’s cube, but instead of solid colors, there are classic Nintendo characters and logos. Green is Triforce, Blue is the Starfox logo, White is Kirby’s face, Yellow is a Pokeball, Orange is Samus’s logo, and Red is Mario’s hat.

If you have trouble solving this Rubik’s cube, you could always triforce. See what I did there?

Apparently, when you destroy an HDTV live on television, you’re more worried about some cheap plastic tennis racket attachment. This will definitely be motivation for all the old ladies who watch this channel to call up and order some of those for their kids. Not to mention, playing a tennis game on the Wii without those plastic racket things is like the lamest thing anybody could ever do. If you’re not rocking the plastic, you’re nothing.

Popping the question with a custom Super Mario World level. How a true Nintendo fanboy proposes.

This is an artist’s rendering out what the Mushroom Kingdom might look like in the age of Samurai Japan. Mario is Tom Cruise. Yoshi is a T-Rex, and Bowser/King Koopa is…a big Japanese looking turtle thing I guess. Flickr [via]

I have a bad feeling about this. Nothing good can come out of playing a NES game, inside of an actual NES game. Watch for the rips in the Universe. This just isn’t natural.

It’s no secret that the ladies love handheld gaming. This guy must have been pulling in serious tail after everybody at his school saw this badass Game Boy advertisement.

Ever wonder what it would be like to befriend some of the most famous video game characters on Facebook? Wonder no more! Who would’ve guessed that Tails is totally in love and obsessed with Sonic? Now when the Princess is kidnapped again, and again, and again, you’ll know! I just hope somebody helps Diddy Kong out of those barrels. Poor guy might suffocate.

So the store manager was thinking to himself, “How do we get kids to want to buy more soda? I’ve got it! Build a Donkey Kong soda mountain!” Well, it was a brilliant idea, because now I want some crappy root beer. I also want for my NES to hook itself up for some Donkey Kong playage.

I don’t even know where to start. The cheap frozen TV dinner, the milk crate, the dirty towel, the VCR…Luigi’s Mansion. I think I had a better gaming setup than this when I was 4. At least the guy who owns this setup is loyal. The picture of Satoru Iwata on the wall lets us all know that he’s a Nintendo fanboy, and he’s not ashamed to admit it. Good for him. Or her…?

So…Link is a chick.

Ah yes, more Mario Kart video goodness. If you haven’t seem them yet, watch Super Mario Death Race and Real Life Mario Kart.

Of all the Mario hacks and mod videos I’ve ever seen, this one looks the hardest. I thought I was good at Mario, but after seeing this, I’m doubting my SNES skills.

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m actually looking forward to this. Of course everybody loves the classic Super Mario Bros. This takes that and throws in new power-ups, multiplayer, new graphics, and an all new experience. Battling your way through the Mushroom Kingdom with your friends, fighting for coins and power-ups, Yoshi racing…Man, I want this.

It almost reminds me of LittleBigPlanet. You know, without the customization and level building. Imagine if Nintendo put in a level creator and some good online play.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii is currently set for release sometime in the 4th quarter of 2009. That means soon.

This Inglorious Plummers trailer is spoofing Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. If you haven’t seen it yet, go watch the Inglourious Basterds trailer now!

Has your Xbox 360 red ringed? No worries! Just pull out the good old Nintendo NES. Sure it may take some blowing into the cartridge, positioning it just perfect inside the system, and a couple pushes of the power button to get it to work just right, but at least it still works. Never take for granted the old gaming console. If your fancy high tech console breaks, you’ll always have a trusty gray box full of nostalgia.

Here are two brand new gameplay videos for Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles! This game is a follow up to Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and is also an “on rails”, arcade style shooter. You don’t control the characters movement, you just shoot, reload, pickup items, and use your knife. Perfect for the Wii and the Wiimote. Darkside Chronicles takes you through the stories of Resident Evil 2, probably the best Resident Evil game ever, and Resident Evil: Code Veronica. Check out another video below!

Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles is set for release sometime in Winter 2009!

Decades after Link’s heroic quests, he’s stuck in a crappy cubicle, working a boring office job. It didn’t work out with Zelda, and his boss is an ass. At least he still has his legacy…and a Nintendo Wii.

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!

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!

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.

Check out a larger picture of LEGO Donkey Kong below!

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.

This is the latest trailer for Capcom’s Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, from E3 2009. This game is the followup to Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and takes us through the story of Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil: Code Veronica.

The graphics are updated and the game is “on rails”, but watching this trailer just gives me a nostalgia attack. Growing up during the “Playstation era”, Resident Evil, especially Resident Evil 2, is one of my favorite games of all time. Sure, it’s not a remake, like many fans want, but it’s enough…for now.

The Darkside Chronicles hits the Nintendo Wii sometime towards the end of the year!

This is easily my favorite announcement from today’s Nintendo press conference at E3 2009. Not because it’s the best looking thing at E3, but because it’s the only thing from Nintendo that really got my attention.

Sure, it looks like Super Mario Galaxy 1. I’ve seen a lot of talk on the internet about how it’s just a recycled game. Well, I don’t think that’s true. There were 3 “Super Mario Bros.” games, there were 2 “Super Mario World” games. Why can’t there be 2 “Super Mario Galaxy” games? It’s exciting if you think about it. This is the first true, full sequel to a Mario game, on the same system, since the Nintendo NES with Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, and 3. We all know Super Mario World 2 on the Super Nintendo wasn’t a true sequel.

What I’m really excited about? I’m sure you can guess it…Yoshi! Our favorite mountable little green dinosaur thing is back! I don’t know about you guys, but Yoshi has always secretly been my favorite thing in the Mushroom Kingdom.

Super Mario Galaxy 2 is set for release sometime in 2010. By “sometime”, I mean anytime from January 1st, 2010 through December 31st, 2010. The wait is on!

Metroid Other M was announced at E3, during Nintendo’s press conference earlier today. It’s the trailer that ended the show, and was probably had the biggest crowd reaction. Even more than all the little DS games, the finger peripheral, and all the many Mario games.

Check out the trailer and wait for Metroid Other M, which is due sometime in 2010!

Usually, I don’t like all the weird Japanese stuff, but this might be different. It’s an ad for The Legend of Zelda, made back in the early 90’s. I’m not sure why Link being played by a female, but I think I like it.

This is the first ever commercial for the Nintendo NES shown in the United States.

This is the latest trailer for Capcom’s Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. This game is the followup to Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and takes us through the story of Resident Evil 2.

The graphics are updated and the game is “on rails”, but watching this trailer just gives me a nostalgia attack. Growing up during the “Playstation era”, Resident Evil, especially Resident Evil 2, is one of my favorite games of all time. Sure, it’s not a remake, like many fans want, but it’s enough…for now.

The Darkside Chronicles hits the Nintendo Wii sometime towards the end of the year. Check out the new trailer above, and take a look at some previously released screens below…

This is the first trailer for Assassin’s Creed 2. Wow. Amazing. Hopefully we’ll actually get to see some gameplay footage, or at least some cut scene footage soon. There is no set release date or specific details yet, but the game is expected in the fourth quarter of this year. A surprise is that the game will be released for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and the Nintendo Wii. I’m curious to see how the game turns out on the Wii obviously.

This is what happens when Mario Kart meets Death Race. Now this is a movie I would see!

Capcom announced Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles for the Wii, as well as a port of the original Resident Evil, and Resident Evil Zero for the Wii.

I would much rather have a Resident Evil 2 remake, but I can’t deny that this trailer and these pictures are getting me excited. Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles is a follow up to Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles, and it takes place during the story of Resident Evil 2, and features Leon and Claire as the main characters; just like the actual game did. It’ll be “on rails”, an arcade shooter, not an open world game. The graphics look amazing. They’re probably not the best thing you’ve ever seen, but just looking at them, while remembering Resident Evil 2 on the PS1, this is amazing.

Capcom will be draining the wallets of many die hard Resident Evil fans. Resident Evil 5, Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero ports, and now Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles. Not to mention Street Fighter 4.

Check out the trailer above and look at these beautiful pictures below…

Capcom has announced that they will port Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero to the Wii. The original Resident Evil was already ported to the Gamecube and Resident Evil Zero was an exclusive Gamecube game. Resident Evil Zero’s Wii port has been out in Japan for a while now, and it’s finally being released to the rest of the world. Both Resident Evil and Resident Evil Zero have been refitted to support the Wiimote and Nunchuk. I’m assuming that means they’ll both have an aiming system like Resident Evil 4 did on the Wii. If not, then there really isn’t any point in buying them; you can just play the Gamecube versions with the Wii.

So, two down, one to go. Many Resident Evil fans, including myself, want a full blown remake of Resident Evil 2. It’s easily my favorite of all the RE games so far, closely followed by RE4; and it needs a makeover with current generation consoles. It looks like we’re getting our wish…almost. Capcom has announced Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, which is the follow up to the Wii game, Resident Evil: Umbrella Chronicles.

Resident Evil: Darkside Chronicles will take place in Raccoon City, and cover the story from Resident Evil 2. Leon and Claire will be the main characters of course. It will be an “on rails”, arcade type shooter just like Umbrella Chronicles. Sure, it’s not the remake of the actual game that we all wanted, but maybe, just maybe…one day we’ll get it.

This video is for all the AVGN fans out there who, like me, have been waiting over a month for the next episode. It’s been so long, so James, the Angry Nerd Himself, released this video showing us all his Godly NES collection.

If you were a kid back in the 1990’s, as I was, you remember Pokemon very well. It was a card game, it was an epic Gameboy game, it was an awesome TV show, it was on your clothes, your school backpack, and it was on your mind 24 hours a day. Remember Diglett, that cute little Pokemon that pops out the ground? Ever wonder what the rest of Diglett, underground,  looked like?

A video about useless Wii peripherals and horrible shovelware games equals comedy gold.

Wow. As a Wii and Xbox 360 owner, this video makes me sad. I love my 360, I love my Wii(sometimes), but this is ridiculous.

If you can afford a Wii, you can afford a 360, so go get one. This has to be one of the worst game downgrades ever. Usually ports are an upgrade. Less zombies, no driving, no camera, horrible graphics, and you can’t even cut people in half with a katana! What the hell is up with that? Did they not want to show that on the Wii, or did they just not take the time to make the animations?

So, missing gameplay features, and not so beautiful graphics; I have to recommend that Wii owners only buy this game if you have the money to blow, and you absolutely don’t want to invest in something worth the money…like an Xbox 360.

Dead Rising: Chop Til You Drop, for the Wii, is out now. Dead Rising for the Xbox 360 is also out now; it has been for more than 2 years. Dead Rising 2 is coming out for the Xbox 360 and Playstation 3, but no release date is set yet. Do yourself a favor, and get the Xbox now, so you can play the REAL Dead Rising, and Dead Rising 2 when it comes out.

Japan is getting more colors than us! Well, I guess I’m not surprised. They always get more and better than us; seeing how Nintendo is a Japanese company. Japan will be getting a Pink, Lime Green, and Metallic Blue version of the DSi. The US and UK will be getting the black DSi, as well as a blue version. The 3 new colors will be available on March 20th.

Here are three new gameplay videos of Madworld for the Nintendo Wii. This game is riding a lot of hype right now, and it’ll probably be a hit. It’s rare to see so much gore, or blood at all on the Wii. Yes, you do hear the voice of John DiMaggio; the man who plays the voices of Bender in Futurama, and Marcus Phoenix in Gears of War 1 & 2.

Madworld hits shelves in North America on March 10th; in Europe on March 20th. Continue reading to watch two more videos.

Who would’ve thought; two Back to the Future Posts in one day? Check out what would happen if the Doc overshot his target in the future.

You may remember the Duck Hunt tramp stamp that I posted before. I think this one is much better. It’s not a tramp stamp, but at least it looks good.

As previously posted, the new Nintendo DSi is hitting the United States on April 5th, and Europe on April 3rd. The DSi features larger screens, an SD Card slot, 2 cameras, as well as a few other things.

After watching this video, I do actually want one more, but I already have a Wii. If I want to play any Nintendo games, I’ll just boot up Mario Kart Wii or Super Smash Bros Brawl. I wouldn’t mind getting my hands on one of the new Pokemon games though; I haven’t played one since Pokemon Gold back in the day. Pokemon Red is the best by the way.

Watch the video, check out the new DSi.

Just a quick look at the game for anybody who’s wondering. It looks like a fun game, but not for $50. Maybe $19.99 or $29.99 since it’s “on rails”.

Skip to 5 minutes in for the goods.

The new Nintendo DSi will be hitting the United States on April 5th. It’s been out in Japan since November 2008.

The DSi has two .3 megapixel cameras, larger screens, better speakers, and an SD Card slot. All great things, but a big feature that’s gone; a Gameboy Advance cartridge slot. The original DS and DS Lite were able to play GBA games, the new DSi will not. When the DSi hits American shelves, it will also be coming in a new color; blue, which you can see in the picture at the top of the post.

The DSi will set you back $169.99. Seems a little pricey considering you cannot play GBA games now; even if there are cameras and larger screens…

You can reserve one starting tomorrow, at Gamestop.

Update: The DSi is now confirmed to be hitting Europe on April 3rd, 2 days earlier than the US release.

I only understood a single word in this entire commercial. Watch it, and you can understand it too!

They’re calling the game “Dead Space: Extraction”. Sure, the graphics won’t be as amazing as Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, but I’m glad to see the Wii getting more and more games that aren’t shovelware; like balloon popping and dart throwing games. Look for Dead Space on Wii towards the end of the year.

I feel sorry for the boyfriend or husband. Everytime they have sex, that damn dog is laughing at him.

I like the House of the Dead games; they’re always fun. I can’t see myself spending $50 for an “on rails” game though. If I want to play a game like this, I’ll go to an arcade; if I can find one; or just pop in House of the Dead on my Sega Dreamcast. House of the Dead: Overkill is on shelves now; only on Wii. Good thing it’s on the Wii, since that’s the only current generation console with any sort of zapper; even though the Wii Zapper is just a plastic case for the Wiimote to sit in. Watch the trailer above and see some actual gameplay footage after the break.
