NINTENDO Showing MARIO Game For the ‘Wii U’ At E3
Nintendo is going to launch their next console sensibly, which is to say with a Mario game. They’ll be showing it at this year’s E3, and I totally can’t wait. Okay, I can wait. Can you?

CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve reached the end of the internet!
If you were expecting anything other than Ron Jeremy dressed as Mario, sorry to disappoint.
Sonic’s Co-Creator JOINS NINTENDO. Nothing Is Sacred.
Dark times, my friends. Dark times indeed. Hirokazu Yasuhara is the co-creator of Sonic the Hedgehog. A goddamn icon. Despite being partly responsible for the most x-treme character ever, the good sir has crossed war lines. Defected to the USSR.
PETA Is Pissed About Mario’s Tanooki Suit. Dios Mio.
PETA must be bored. Or worried that their ridiculous posturing is getting boring. So they’ve come out swinging at the gaming industry. Last week they were like tots worried about being able to kill a rat in Battlefield 3. Now they’re sweating Mario’s Tanooki suit.
Video: Mario and Luigi Cut A Rug At the 2011 National Jitterbug Championships
First off, I love that there’s a national jitterbug championship. Fantastic. Secondly, I love swingers Morgan Day and Emily Wigger. They danced to what Michael McWherton accurately calls “chippy Mario tunes”. It’s a total dork lovefest, complete with level clear music and actual props.
Dig it.

First Person Mario: The Plumber Goes Bulletstorm.
Brandon Laatsch created a 3DSMax animation that imagined good old fucking Super Mario Bros. as a first person experience with absurd achievements like in Bulletstorm. If only this gem was real.

Super Mario Bros: The Indie Movie Is Star Level.
Apparently at SXSW and other film festivals they have a bunch of “bumper” films. Minifilms that precede the screenings. Didn’t know that. Now I do. One of them showing at SXSW is “Mario” by Joe Nicolosi. Nicolosi works in a shitload of outstanding references in the framework of a trailer for an indie film version of Mario. Go ahead and watch it, you’re going to love it.
You dirty little slut.
