The Angry Video Game Nerd reviews some educational Mario games. The last thing anybody wants when playing a Mario game is to be educated! Don’t expect any mercy from the AVGN.

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.

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!
