Warm temperatures, cool drinks and plenty of beach babes. Doesn’t matter. You’ll be that guy stuck in the beachhouse too busy to go outside ’cause he just got the new lime green Nintendo DS bundle and plopped down money for Chinatown Wars. Lucky. Link

Game Boy turned 20 this week! Isn’t that amazing? I remember, specifically, receiving the very first model when I was 3 years old. It came with Tetris and I soon purchased Metroid II and Super Mario Land. The batteries died in minutes, the screen was hard to look at but more importantly, it was a portable gaming monster that kept ...

This is pretty strange. As one of the leading console series names in the world you’d figure that Nintendo would have had their Super Mario Bros. 3 release edited and studied unmercifully until its release. But somehow the game was released featuring a screen shot of a level which never even appears in the game. Have you ever seen this ...

There is just so much creativity swimming around Etsy.com that sometimes it gives me a headache. People create all sorts of plush toys, pillows and other doo-dads that you, the reader, can then purchase for your own pleasure whilst supporting the original artist. This NES handbag is no exception. User Inhope created it with a lot of room in mind ...

For once, Nintendo is moving away from the television set and into the study. Next month, you’ll be able to plunk down $39.99 for an officially licensed Mario Chess set. Nothing has changed with the game but the pieces are based on your favorite Nintendo characters. Yoshi is the knight, Toad is the rook, Peach is the bishop and of ...

Spotted in the wild grounds of Tumblr, someone posted a picture of this old school Super Mario Bros. 3 shirt. That yellow! That color! How on earth did this anonymous gentleman keep it in such good condition for nearly 20 years? Either way, I want one. Get in touch. Link

You think you’re the ultimate Nintendo fanboy? Not even close. Why don’t you spend a weekend with some LEGOs and one up Sean Kenney. After all, he’s the dude who made a 51,324 piece DSi out of LEGOs, complete with a drawing of a strange cat. Kenney spent over 200 hours on the project which will be on display at ...

My words cannot do this rare NES joystick test cartridge justice. Instead, allow ’80s rocker Billy Squier to describe what you’d normally do after acquiring this game: Now everybody have you heard If you’re in the game, then the stroke’s the word Don’t take no rhythm, don’t take no style Got a thirst for killin’, grab your vile… You put ...

Shove your Super Nintendo games right into the toaster and prepare to smother them in butter and jam. The Super Nintoaster brings the pure unadulterated power of toast to the ancient Super Nintendo gaming system. And let’s be honest, this poor console is in dire need of a makeover. Basically what we’ve got here is a working SNES system packed ...

Take this rumor with a grain of salt, but there’s indication that Nintendo could be coming out with an App Store of its own for the Nintendo DSi. The device has two cameras on it, so it makes perfect sense to allow third-party developers to take advantage of the DSi’s unique hardware. Sources say that Nintendo is actually pushing this ...
