Video game characters are people too. Well, most of the time. With all of the blustering and bowing we’ve come to expect from ourselves when we talk about our favorite gaming character of all time, we sometimes forget the humanity of these characters. The flesh and blood. Salvaged from one of his hundreds of million lost lives, this Super Mario Anatomy Sculpture by Jason Freeny advertises the heart (quite literally) and soul of Mario, the human being. The lovable, heroic,... Continue reading

Just because the animation wasn’t made for 3D, doesn’t mean that we can’t use modern tools to bring the days of retro gaming into the modern age. Hell, we’ve already seen it work the other way around. Deviantart user Cezkid utilizes his mad skills to create 3D versions of classic 8-bit gaming art, including this Super Mario rendering.

Can’t you just go away already?) would be spending his days looking for gold coins in the pipes of the most famous city in the world. Good luck on finding that gold though. Times are tough, my man. Frankly, I don’t blame Mario for taking on more of a “viral” marketing scheme. And you thought Mario only climbed through pipes when he... Continue reading

Whether you’re a kid or an adult, you’re bound to fall in love with these wall decals from Bilk. Splat ‘em on your wall and you’ll have a retro 8-bit Nintendo scene re-enacted right in front of you. You’ll find a Donkey Kong sticker pack in addition to both the original SMB and an “updated” SMB set. They all look fantastic and I’m pretty upset that these weren’t around when I was a kid. Sure, I could shit my pants... Continue reading
