A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Just opened it up, and I'm getting it set up now. It's pretty cool, asthetically speaking. Not too keen on the 4-hour firmware update though, but that's to be expected. Just holding the gamepad in my hands and beginning to use it has me really excited. I can't wait to see what Nintendo comes up with...

I'll kick the thread off with my Wii U plans. I preordered the Deluxe set the day Nintendo announced it, and I should be picking it up later today. I originally had New Super Mario Bros. U and Zombie U on pre-order, but I'm going to hold off on those until Christmas. I think the included Nintendo La...

Since Nintendo's new console is out today, I figured I'd make another one of our popular "Discussion/Recommendations" forum for the Wii U.

Who got one? Who's getting one? What games are good? Here's the thread to discuss all that!

I saw the film on its opening weekend. I loved it! I understand some of the criticisms I've seen listed so far, but none of them bothered me in the slightest. I think it was a very smart move on the filmmakers' part to keep the story relatively small and focused. Just like the original Toy Story did...

I downloaded the new Art Academy game, the day it was released. But for some reason, I still haven't received my download code.

I emailed Nintendo about it and they said everything is good and I would get my code in the 3-4 week period. But it's now been over 5.

That's pretty cool! Thanks for posting--glad you're back.

Any clue what that was from or when? Around the time of the movie or something more recent?

Great! That's what I wanted to hear. As long as it's better than SPM, anything else is a bonus. Hopefully I'll get it for Christmas : )

The Good Long Friday is an amazing film! Hoskins is so great in that. Watch Mona Lisa next

Well, looks like we're having spambots again. I even changed the registration question and that didn't seem to help.,

So, until we can get this fixed, I've closed registration again. Send me a personal email if you're trying to register.

Although you didn't get the entire costume, the mask is definitely the most iconic piece, and the boots are probably the second thing I'd want. Great find! I'm glad you're able to keep this collection growing

Thanks, everyone! Having this site and all of you contributing in some way is the best birthday present I could ask for

That sounds great! I'm glad that the ERTL SMB toys are your area of expertise

I'm going to go see it tomorrow, and everyone here should too!

What I'm curious about is if the storyline for episodes 7/8/9 will negate any of the world building done in the novels/comics/games/etc. in years past.

Did the SW prequels mess anything up, to anyone's knowledge?

I just love how much headway we made into the development of the script for SMB. Most films just don't get this kind of attention or get quite as much publicly revealed.

I doubt we'd personally host an NYC screening again, unless someone got it together on our behalf. Wilmington, NC makes sense because I live close and it's where the movie was filmed. And Los Angeles makes sense because, well...it's LA, and that's where the most people who worked on the film live.

I think this is a really cool thing to happen and Lucas has given the Star Wars franchise the best possible home for growth for decades to come. I'm very intrigued by the idea that we'll get a true-blue new SW trilogy of films starting in 2015. This whole plan must've been something Lucas had in min...

Just last weekend I completed my second full playthrough of Star Fox Adventures. I hadn't played it really since its release way back in 2002. I always remembered though that AFTER I beat the game, I discovered it had a widescreen display mode. I vowed that some day, I'd make it up to myself and pla...

I got Resident Evil 6 the day it came out and I played through the entire campaign with co-op with one of my friends. I have to say, it was extremely fun (better than RE5 for sure). I don't think the game deserves as bad of a rep as it's gotten--but I do think us playing the game in co-op was a huge...

Seems like I'm just now discovering some good new topics to post in since we've got this new "General Gaming" sub-forum. I ended up playing Heavy Rain for the PS3 in one sitting. One of my best friends was over and we were about wrapped up playing games for the night when we decided to pop...

As some of you know, I too am a fan of elusive soft drinks. And I definitely enjoy Baja Blast, and most recently the "Dark Berry" Dew that was a promo for Dark Knight Rises.

It's great to finally see the bulk of this page with info and the side-by-side game/film pics! I'll have to put this on the front page for this weekend!

I'm glad you were able to make it. From what I've heard so far it was definitely a worthwhile event to attend. Can't wait for more

Don't forget--this year's Orange County Jurassic Con is TODAY! Site staff Steven Applebaum will be on hand at the event to showcase the Koopa Creature T-Rex heads as well as other Super Mario Bros. dinosaur-related memorabilia. The event is FREE to attend. Come out to the Ralph B. Clark Museum in O...

That's pretty cool! The police car action figure is one of the best parts of that toy line. Always glad to see the few people that do have that item are having fun with it

For those interested, RareMinion has posted a couple of pretty lengthy videos of unreleased gameplay footage from Rare's Dinosaur Planet and Twelve Tales: Conker 64:

As far as I know, two more DLC packs are coming for NSMB2 before the end of the year. I'm not expecting new powerups or a new world, but hopefully they can find a few more ways to make this formula interesting.

Overbearing I think is a really good word for it. It's just too cumbersome and technical for its own good. IMO, MP2 is definitely the best of the N64 games. MP1 is a good introduction, and MP2 improved and enhanced that formula. MP3 seemed to ignore the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" pr...

Well, I was finally able to give Mario Party 3 a shot after borrowing a copy from a friend. I didn't want to do two players with just me and my wife, so I waited until another friend could come over so we could do a three-player game. And it was still pretty terrible. We did a "short" 20-t...

Anyone get any of the first 3 DLC packs for NSMB2? I got all three. The beginner course is the most fun--and it's something I wish the actual game had more of. The intermediate course is okay but I felt didn't really offer a whole lot. And the difficult "Nerve Wrack Pack" is pretty hard, w...

http://www.smbmovie.com/SMBArchive/Pics/SitePics/updates/jurassicCon_header.png We've had an incredible response to last week's interview with Super Mario Bros. Production Designer, David L. Snyder! While the second part of the interview is coming soon, we've got something else cool to announce: We...

Prime Evil wrote:Ah, but, the general public expects them to call themselves "The Segale Brothers."

I know you're saying this in jest, but the general public doesn't know or care the significance of naming them "Segale." IMO, it's even more confusing to give the brothers that last name.

But there is and was very little canon in the games anyway Exactly! That's why some fans tend to take these small "facts" established in the games and build them up to be very important things--because there's not much else to draw from if you're trying to form any sort of "canon&quo...

I think it's because this kind of fervor for what a character or "canon" is for a franchise builds up over the years. And when something just changes without reason, people start complaining about it.

Two words: continuity reboot. Miyamoto did say in the games current storyline so maybe this is a different reboot. That's my main issue with this. If the current games aren't supposed to have stories, and it's all about the gameplay...then why even bother with "rebooting" continuity like ...

The question is whether this was always his/their intention or a decision that came after. I mean, I have no problem imagining the Koopalings as adopted generals, but to outright go against the text of the manuals and games is a bit much. Sorry to be so blunt about this, but I gotta call shenanigan...

Getting this thread back on track... UPDATE 9/25/12: I did another pass on the interview and edited things for clarity and flow (mostly my questions and responses). David also sent me a new photo of the "Cadillac Ranch"-inspired set he was talking about. I replaced the photo that was there...

True but in the games Luigi was given little respect and the filmakers didn't make the games and as you can clearly see, their vision was different from Miyamoto's. Exactly. And that's something that I think has only become even clearer in recent years. With the first few games in Mario canon, ther...

I too thought the exact same thing.

via Game Informer : GI: Some people claim that Mario and Luigi's last name is "Mario." Are their names officially Mario Mario and Luigi Mario? Shigeru Miyamoto: This is an old story, but Hollywood did a film version of the Mario Bros. many years back. There was a scene in the script where ...
