Mario Flash

Poor Luigi. Maybe he ought to keep chasing Ecclair or Daisy. Cute little Mario 3 Flash, uses no sprites(well, just one), but I'm mainly posting it because I'm curious if anyone can identify the "30 minutes later" music. LBD "Nytetrayn"

M.E.G.A. On!

In the recently-release September 2006 issue of Nintendo Power, there is a cover story titled "A New Man" about the upcoming Mega Man ZX which reveals a few tidbits regarding the English release of the game, as well as features and art from the game in general. First...

“Attack of the Show,” Indeed

I'd love to know just when wasting systems became en vogue. I mean, damn. It was funny the first hundred times, with the XBoxes and GameCubes and such, but I'm starting to loseWeight Exercise interest. Oh yeah, and Nintendo is repairing them for free if they're under...

It’s-a Me!

Wow, looking around for stuff on Charles Martinet, and came across this rather old interview with GameSpy, going over how he got the job and such. LBD "Nytetrayn"

Whoa, Really?

Once again, cut one story from the rest that interested me a bit more... So, it turns out that game developers really hate game reviewers. Well, that comes as no surprise, there are plenty of gamers who hate game reviewers, too. Funny how that works. I especially...

Where Have All the Mascots Gone?

I liked this one so much, I decided to give it its own space. Next-Generation takes a look at CULTURE: Mascots and Messages: "Whatever happened to the videogame mascot? Here, Eric-Jon R?ssel Waugh uses Sonic the Hedgehog as a prime example of the good and not-so-good...

Do the Mario

A medley of clips from the Super Mario Bros. Super Show. My favorite is where Toad taunts the Bob-omb... LBD "Nytetrayn"

Rock the Plumbers

Super Mario Bros. Z, episode 3! Pretty good, IMO. Still got the funny, and a whompass fight scene to boot. 😀 LBD "Nytetrayn"

SEGA!

XBoxyde has some new gameplay movies of Sonic the Hedgehog. Looks good, here's hoping that SEGA is putting as much into this one as they did the last time they had to launch a system... namely, their own. Sadly, no Shadow is present. I really, really want something...

Mario Mania

You can bet your ass I plan to go to this. And for those who aren't in Canada(and even those who are), a neat little something on YouTube: a speedrun of Super Mario Sunshine, and I think it's even got the ending and such. Of course, a game like SMS probably isn't...

The Happiest of Meals

It started with an essay. Well, more like an "essay." Over at The Allspark, Defunct said a few words about recent McDonald's Happy Meal offerings, namely Cars and Pirates of the Caribbean. Myself, not without any lack of memories of good times(taste disputed) at...

Bidding Has Ended.

So, that factory-sealed Super Mario Bros. 2 auction I was watching ended, and damn. $155? Not bad. LBD "Nytetrayn"

Mario Flash

Grand Finale?

So, some of you out there may be familiar with a little series of Flash movies simply titled "Mario Bros." Bowser makes plans to kidnap the Princess, Luigi dies in the initial strike, dramatic music, sprites from the first Super Mario Bros.... if you need a refresher,...

Is Konami Listening?

Posted for the benefit of Toastyfrog and any other Castlevania fans reading this. A little Flash movie titled" Castlevania Online. Gotta admit, the idea's got some merit. LBD "Nytetrayn"

Useless(But Fun) Trivia

I love reading Wikipedia. I find out so much useless(along with the occassional useful) trivia. For instance, did you know that in the old TMNT cartoon, Casey Jones was played by Pat Fraley? Ok, that's nothing, in itself. But more recently, he also played Shy Guy in...

PS Pondering

Sony says that the XBox 360 is a "transitional product," while the PS3 is made to last "for many years to come." This intrigues me. Does this mean to imply that whereas the 360 will be obsolete in roughly five years, that the PS3 will still be Sony's entry into the...
