And in the end, there was one. And speaking of one, of the big three conferences at E3 2012 this year, Nintendo’s is the only one for which GameSpot requires me to enter my birthdate. Go figure. So, full disclosure? Well, I’m not sure I really need to– just look at the name and logo […]

One week from today, on Sunday, December 12th, Nintendo is re-releasing Super Mario All-Stars for the Wii. And aside from some tweaks to the control input to allow for a number of the Wii’s configurations to be used, it is the exact same game that was released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System back in […]

Mario and his friends were created with a simple purpose: to entertain. However, have you ever wondered what they do to amuse themselves when they aren’t entertaining us? That is the focus of the Waluigious article “In Which We’re Entertained,” which takes a look at clues which have appeared over the course of the Mario […]

Recently, Matt Green of Press the Buttons called my attention to a relatively new picture blog called “The Bow on Birdo.” The Bow on Birdo is run by Drew Mackie (not related to this guy… at least, not as far as I’m aware), and is a Mario picture blog which frequently updates, usually daily, with […]

I’ve just posted my Super Mario Galaxy 2 Q&A with Nintendo of Canada’s Matt Ryan over at The Examiner. Feel free to give it a read. To be honest, if you’ve been following every bit of Super Mario Galaxy 2 news as it has come out, you may not find much new here– especially if […]

Now, this is interesting. As you might recall, I took the opportunity yesterday to express some frustration I was feeling with a game I love, Super Mario Galaxy 2. I love the game, I’m having a blast, and I’m doing fairly well with it, but not quite at a level one might consider “pro.” Today, […]

Just finished more Super Mario Galaxy 2, and I get the feeling that I’m not finishing it in its entirety. As usual. I don’t want to be one of those “3D Mario/2D Mario” types, and I’m not, really: I love me some 3D Mario, and I also love 2D. Hell, there’s very little in the […]

Here’s one I remember during the Winter of 1989, when Nintendo and Pepsi teamed up to promote the NES, Game Boy, and other fun stuff through a sweepstakes: I remember wanting the display they showed at the end so badly, as I thought a Santa Mario was really cool. Unfortunately, I was unable to get […]

It is much to my regret that at this most joyous time of year, i.e. the release of a new Mario title, that I am unable to really sit down and put pen to paper (or rather, fingers to keyboard) and talk about my history with the franchise and what it means to me. And […]
