Super Mario Bros Movie Coming to Blu-Ray?
There are some parts of video gaming’s history I’d like to ignore, but often these cringe-worthy areas hold a lot of value as lessons. Yes, the Super Mario Bros movie is arguably one of the worst Hollywood productions of all time, especially in the world of video games.

Pokemon Prism Gets Cease and Desist From Nintendo
Cease and desist. It’s a legal action that has become the easiest way to bring fans’ spirit down and end projects that are showing promise. Many games, mostly fan games, which take a creative license to make something new or some sort of tribute, have fallen to these two words. Lately, some of the best fan games to ever be made have been given this treatment, of which the developers ar...[Read More]

Ah, Suda 51, probably one of the wackiest game designers of our time. Games touched by this man are often a shout against society, reveling in counter culture, absurdity, and violence.

Fin...[Read More]

Jimmy Fallon Plays the Nintendo Switch
Lucky-as-hell Jimmy Fallon got to play Super Mario Run with Reggie Fils-Aime giving him tips over his shoulder. There may be a few meme worthy statements by Fils-Aime during this bit on The Tonight Show, but it looked as if Fallon was having the time of his life playing this new mobile game regardless of Fils-Aime’s awkward stage voice. Things got even more exciting when Fils-Aime showed Fal...[Read More]
