Enough Is Enough: Make Classic Nintendo Titles Free for Switch Owners
Confession time: Sometimes I like to lurk through unfinished Infendo articles from years ago just for kicks. I found one by an apparently ex-Infendo writer named Michael titled “Should Super Mario Bros. Be Free to Play”. While the article wasn’t actually about making old Nintendo games free, it did get me thinking: Isn’t it about time we make the oldest titles part of a pac...
Video: Super Mario Bros. theme with wine glasses and a frying pan
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TTioMbNT9I#t=159[/youtube] YouTube user Dan Newbie has made a habit of recreating memorable songs and themes with the use of kitchen utensils and various glassware. Now, he has paid homage to the Super Mario Bros. theme using only wine glasses and a frying pan. The video is an interesting take on a gaming theme so recognizable that it wouldn’t be surp...

Get your 8-bit Mario in Pushmo form right here!
I’m rather engrossed in the puzzle creation tool in Pushmo right now. This week I have another character puzzle for you. It’s the plumber we all know and love in all his 8-bit glory: Mario! I placed a three-star difficulty rating on this puzzle, but when you’re the creator, it’s hard to know whether your rating is accurate. So my question for those of you who download and p...

Paper Mario
The latest Iwata Asks is a wealth of cool Nintendo info. In addition to yesterday’s revelation that the 3DS would benefit from a Super Mario Bros. title “ASAP,” we also were given access to some of the very first design documents that Miyamoto and his team used to create the original Super Mario Bros. No Photoshop or similar software here, folks—just pure paper Mario!
Miyamoto’s 3DS Super Mario Bros. title will be out “ASAP”

Perhaps he has, if recent Iwata Asks interview answers are any indication. “In the interests of adopting new technology for the Super Mario Bros. tradition, I am now making a new Super Mario Bros. game for the Nintendo 3DS,” he said, adding that he wants the game to be re...

Super Mario Sisters nearly happened
While sifting through some filings at the United States Patent and Trademark Office as I am wont to do on a Saturday night, I stumbled upon a trademark filing made by Nintendo for “Super Mario Sisters.” After holding the trademark for just under two years, Nintendo let it expire in 1991 along with the hopes and dreams of countless fans of The Great Giana Sisters. Although the trademar...
