Super Mario Bros. Message Board older than one year ago

#mario While the Mario Brothers did make an official appearance on an Atari console, that was the original Mario Bros. arcade game, not a Super Mario Bros. platformer. More »

#review Now here's the story of a guy named Mario. More »

#watchthis Sure, this video is kind of awkward, but it's also kind of adorable. And it seems like the Cruz sisters are actually playing New Super Mario Bros. 2. Not just faking it! More »

#opinion Some of the most beautiful things in video games, as my colleague Patricia Hernandez noted on Friday, are the mistakes, the glitches. Some of the best surprises, however, are the ones game developers intentionally hid for us somewhere in the forests of the games we play. These delights are planted along the path to please the explorers of interactive adventures like the so-called "Trail Magic" rations left along the Appalachian Trail by kind-hearted strangers for weary hikers.

#supermariobros Challenged to a blind round of Super Mario Bros.—specifically, the remake in Super Mario All-Stars—one dexterous YouTuber manages to get through the level almost unscathed. More »

#nintendo Which would you rather have, a grungy old black-and-white Wario game, a dollar off a classic Mario game, or a colorful action role-playing game from the creators of Dementium: The Ward? I have no definite answer. I just like asking long form questions. More »

#mario Some things in this universe are constant. Death, taxes. Slow buses when you're late. And the fact that Mario is into coins. More »

#gameofthrones The Internet is a wonderful tool for finding the answers to important questions. Sometimes they're questions you desperately need to answer, like "What's the capital of Cuba?" or "Why did I wake up on the floor this morning?" More »

#theories During my first 25 years playing video games I had no theory about what makes a video game good. I knew the good ones when I played them. I just felt it. More »

#television Conan O'Brien and crew debuted a fresh batch of new video games last night, and I'm not sure which ones I should pick up first. Which sounds better, Super Diabetic Mario Brothers or The Elder Scrolls: Skymall? More »

#watchthis Watching this video, I can't help but teeter back and forth between desperately wanting to play it and desperately wanting to shun it. More »

#screengrab Check out this creepy rendition of Nintendo's iconic plumber, drawn by tumblr user Wednesday Wolf. It will haunt your dreams forever. More »

#mario There seems to be a propensity amongst game developers working with iconized characters like Mario to see their creations live outside the realm of their natural universes. The latest edition is a familiar one: Mario, but with a tennis racket. More »

#thedorklyweekly Filled with rusty meet hooks, jumping snakes, and the odd retractable bridge over a pit of bubbling lava, video game real estate isn't exactly burning up the market. Well, in some cases it is, but only literally. More »

#supermariobros Indie-curious attendees of this week's PAX East gaming show in Boston can get a "passport" stamped for every game they check out in the show's indie mega-booth. They can't just stop by the booth. They have to do something. More »

Mari0, the Super Mario Bros./Portal platformer crossover, has been ruining friendships from a few couch cushions away since launching last month, but now its scope for poisoning even the truest of bffs is broadening. Developer Stab Yourself is working on an online multiplayer mode for Mari0, with a brief taste of the inevitable frustration, angry words, broken screens and even more irreparable relationships to come in the demo video above.

No word yet on an expected release date or details, but the video shows six whole friendships come to a grinding, chiptuned halt -- that's six players and 12 possible portals, folks. We hope you meet new people easily.

#watchthis Try your hardest to stay calm as you watch Mario die over and over and over again. I know, I know. It's tough. But you can get through this. More »

#watchthis Furthering the notion that there is no situation, real or virtual, that cannot be enhanced by the addition of Koji Kondo music, I give you "SuperField Bros. 3", the perfect marriage of heavy weapons and heavy whimsy. More »

Everyone can pack up and go home, because the pinnacle of all human achievement has been reached. Mari0, that Super Mario Bros./Portal mashup we caught wind of last August, has been completed and is now available for free on PC, OSX and Linux.

Developed by Stabyourself, Mari0 is a complete recreation of the original Super Mario Bros., with one vital difference: This time, Mario is packing an Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device. The game features simultaneous four-player co-op, a level editor, 33 hats for Mario to wear, free DLC, a Minecraft-esque toolbar for on-the-fly block creation and a slew of other hilarious modifications.

While 3DS Ambassadors have been enjoying their free download of Super Mario Bros. for several months now, Nintendo has been depriving the general public (except those lucky Japanese gamers) the opportunity to play the NES classic to end all classics on their shiny, new handheld. Finally, this undue torment ends today...

The Metal Gear Solid 3D demo arrives today, accompanied by relatively big news on the Virtual Console! The first NES Ambassador game for 3DS is now available for purchase by non-Ambassadors! Super Mario Bros. is on the eShop now for five bucks. And if you already have it through the Ambassador Program, you can get a free update to add multiplayer and save states!

There's also news for the Wii's Virtual Console: the Genesis version of Strider can be purchased today. We hadn't heard about a Genesis VC game in a while, so we looked into it. As far as we can tell, this is the first Genesis game on Wii in North America since Sonic & Knuckles, on February 15, 2010. It's been two years and a day since the last Genesis VC release.

In fact, this appears to be the first Wii Virtual Console release of any kind since The Ignition Factor six months ago. Enjoy it! This doesn't happen very often.
