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 […]

Wow, I never imagined that so much stuff surrounding the release of New Super Mario Bros. Wii would surface in such a short time. But what better place to start than the intro, which shows how Peach gets snatched, as well as how the new power-ups get scattered across the land: Fawful007 wins for the […]

What a whirlwind the past seven days have been.

From Wired Game|Life’s hands-on with the “Play It on Wii Selection” version of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat: I liked it a lot when it was an innovative platform game played with a drum controller. Now that it’s a more straightforward game — you move Donkey Kong with the control stick, jump with the A button, […]

This is just a rumor for now, but it seems the Game & Watch Collection, a Club Nintendo exclusive, has been rated by the ESRB. Could this possibly be related to the North American Club Nintendo? One can hope; I have a copy, thanks to , and I do love it for its Game & […]

A few days ago, I posted a news item about some Black Friday sales with a small tease to see if anyone could identify the picture I had used, posted here again for your convenience. The origin, as I knew it, was in the Christmas Sears “Wish Book” catalogs. At least, I think that’s what […]
