These days it can feel like half the internet be made up a video game reviews. That wasn't always the case—after the video-game crash a the 1980s, there be so few video game publications that one a the most important games a all time be barely reviewed at all.Read more...

It be me personal opinion that Black Thought be one a the best rappers t' ever step t' the mic. ye may disagree. But, last night, the Roots’ lead vocalist dropped a set a lyrics dedicated t' Super Mario Bros. over a re-arranged version a Koji Kondo’s immortal theme song. That definitely makes the sea dog an all-time MVP MC, right? The performance be part a Late Night with Jimmy Fallon’s Video Game Week 'n the verse be made all the better for being pretty on point with it be references t' Mario’s history. What’s up with calling Luigi a coward, though? Didn’t anybody tell Thought that this be the Year a Luigi? Reggie Fils-Aime might have something t' say about that next time he comes back t' the show.

ye might have already known that Nintendo changed a few things when bringing NES platformer Super Mario Bros. 3 t' North America—mostly t' make it easier—but it be still fascinating t' see the changes presented side-by-side. This video, created by YouTuber Master0fHyrule, does a nice job displaying the differences between the Western 'n Japanese versions a the classic platformer. Check it.

Ah Mario; the Superman a video games. He’s the modest, iconic, do-gooder everyone loves. He's wholesome — a video game character ye can bring home t' mom for the holidays. Like Superman, Mario has had his highs 'n his lows (I’m looking at ye Hotel Mario 'n Bob Hoskins) but his design still remains unsullied 'n iconic — a character that even yer mom 'n possibly grandparents know. But he be not beyond criticism. It’s time t' weigh in — Using our image annotation system, show us what ye love or hate about some a Mario’s many character designs. It could be high praise ("Such grace, such beauty — The moustache that launched a thousand games") or black-hearted cynicism (‘What kind a weirdo plumber wears white gloves t' work 'n eats fly agaric for fun?’). Just click one one a the many incarnations a the plumber above 'n annotate away. 'There's always a princess, there's always a plumber, there's always a kingdom.' (Top row: Super Mario Bros.

Super Mario Bros., the 1993 film, paved the way video game movies for all time t' come. Namely, that everyone would expect them t' be terrible. It opened 20 years ago on Tuesday, 'n John Leguizamo, who starred as Luigi, had the grace 'n good humor t' record this message for a Super Mario Bros. film fansite. "I be glad people appreciate the movie," he says. "It be the first, nobody had ever done it before." By that he means a cinematic video game adaptation 'n if he's not right, me memory can't produce the example where he be wrong. "We made a lot a great things 'n we made a lot a mistakes." Nearly every actor on the project hated it, few more than Bob Hoskins, who starred as Mario, calling it his worst job, biggest disappointment, 'n the one thing in his past he'd change. Leguizamo, in his biography, expressed dissatisfaction with his role 'n with the films direction. it be nice that, 20 years later, he can put the bad feelings behind the sea dog 'n record this kind message—which gives credit t' everyone in the cast—for a fansite devoted t' the film. That said, I wouldn't ask the sea dog t' sign an autograph using the name Luigi. John Leguizamo's 20th Anniversary Message [Super Mario Bros.: The Movie Archive]
