What's on my mind today?
I’ve loved my 3DS from the moment I got my hands on it. It’s a great portable with a lot of really fun applications, and I had a great time playing through Ocarina of Time again, only this time… in the third dimension! Of course it’s no secret that the initial months of the [...]
Over the past quarter-century, Super Mario has battled many foes: his arch-nemesis Bowser, Daisy-napping alien Tatanga, future frenemy Wario, and a bizarre Shadow Mario that turned out to be Bowser Jr. in disguise. (Obviously I am excluding Wart, since Mario never actually battled him, what with the whole thing being just a dream and all.)
But [...]
OMG
OMG
OMG
OK, I’ve calmed down a bit, sorry about that.
But you can understand why I’m so excited – Nintendo just had their E3 press conference, where they announced their next home console, the Wii U.
I instantly want/need/have to have it.
The system will feature HD graphics, but its most newsworthy feature (like the Wii before it) is [...]
I’ve already written about how excited I am for Nintendo’s next console. And it’s a safe bet that I’ll be writing about it again in more detail after the E3 press conference where it will be unveiled. (That will be June 7 at 12pm Eastern, for those of you who are interested.)
But I have [...]
So I have openly hemmed and hawed about buying a Nintendo 3DS on its launch day, which is this Sunday for you non-nerds out there. I had basically settled on not buying the gadget right away, since there is no game coming out right away that I am just itching to play.
Still, I have been [...]
There have been plenty of celebrations for Mario’s 25th Anniversary in the real world, but how is it being celebrated in the Mushroom Kingdom? With an old fashioned roast, of course!
The below video is very funny, though slightly NSFW, depending on where you work, of course.

I hate most stores, but I can browse for hours at Nintendo World.
If you’ve never been there, you should definitely check it out. It’;s in Rockefeller Center, next door to Today’s studio. They have some great events over there, like fun launches for new games, usually complete with T-shirt giveaways (I [...]
(I’m two days late, but Mario will forgive me…)
On September 13, 1985, Super Mario Bros. was released in Japan, and gaming’s greatest hero was born. (If you have some time, IGN has a great write-up on Mario’s history, as well as 10 suggestions on how to make a good Super Mario movie.)
Twenty five years and [...]
It had already been announced that Sunday, May 23rd will be the air date of the Lost series finale, with a 2 hour episode from 9 to 11pm (with the obligatory recap show beforehand). Obviously, this is a hugely important and monumental event in the history of television.
But now comes word that ON THAT VERY [...]
I just read this very interesting article over at Kotaku, entitled “Why A Man Plays Mario.” It was written by Stephen Totilo, a former colleague from VH1, who now reports on video games full time.
In the piece, Stephen discusses why he, a man in his thirties, still gets a kick out of a video game [...]
