A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

The standard DVD plays at a different rate than the Swedish one as well. It's all to do with the framerate standards for NTSC/PAL/etc. I can definitely tell the difference when I watch either version. Most versions other than the USA release seem "sped up" and the soundtrack has a slightly...

I also updated all of the "main" pages for each category, and updated the text, removing pages that don't exist yet and adding in things that we've since updated with. I also noticed a bug where we had incorrectly linked "fan video" so now it works on the main page as well. So NO...

The problem is that for the pages that aren't up yet, most of the information is stuff I have, and most of the merchandise, etc. are things that I have that I would need to scan and prepare, etc. So even if we did have help, the amount of prep work I would have to do before I handed it off to someon...

Since you have "awful" in quotation marks, I'm assuming that you mean that in sarcasm. I love me some Ernest movies.

I have the Swedish version, I bought it directly from the Njutafilms website, I think. They had it listed there and everything. As far as the USA DVD goes, I think it's probably a higher-quality transfer (re: Disney) but it's on a lower resolution, non-anamorphic format. The Swedish version is likel...

You think you're going to find articles online comparing Super Mario Bros. movie DVDs? Someplace that's not on this website or forum? That's why you haven't found anything :) I don't think there are any major changes in the film itself. The deal with this release is that it's the best quality anamor...

If you're in the Northwest or East Coast, then you're in luck! We have added New York City and Seattle, Washington screenings to our schedule for this year! Let us know if either of these locations make it easier for you.

Pretty cool find! Which Flea Market was it?

Pretty lame April Fools' joke

You're not alone in having this idea. I've thought many times that something like this could be extremely cool if there's a story to back it up. It's just not commercial to do it--if some independent filmmaker started it, and then maybe got famous, and was able to get enough resources to bring the w...

I'm working on FX as well as some environmen...

That is just completely awesome. Not only is the font correct, but I love the "bolts" with the extended drop shadow that you have in the corners. Could have ripped that right out of '93.

Yesterday, we played two more boards: Board Observations: Magma Mine was a bit disappointing. Although the volcanic environment was great to look at, there's a gameplay hitch. You have to keep rolling above a certain threshold to escape the rising lava. If you're the captain and the lava gets to you...

Played two more boards last night. Board observations: Boo's Horror Castle was fun--when you pass over paintings with Boos, they'll follow your vehicle and take half of your stars if it catches up with you. However, at the end of the board, you have to roll above a predetermined number to get to the...

Okay, so I got my hands on a copy yesterday. So far, I love it. My wife and I played two boards (the Toad one and Bob-Omb factory). The "all players in one car" concept works really well and keeps the game moving. It's definitely not as sluggish feeling as some of the other MP games in ter...

I probably would've gone to Gamestop, it's just that around here Wal-Mart is the only store open at midnight. Gamestop usually doesn't do midnight releases for Nintendo games--the ones here didn't even do them for Skyward Sword. Since the time jumped ahead an hour, I should just be able to go pick i...

Well, I failed. It seems as if the Wal-Marts here in North Carolina just aren't as friendly/helpful as the ones back in East TN. I ended up going to two--one had no one around electronics at all, and at the other one, the guy there said that he's worked there for 8 years, and games "always come...

So, it's almost here--Mario Party 9 comes out tomorrow.

I think I'm going to try to see if I can pick it up at Wal-Mart at midnight tonight. We'll see how it goes

The Retronauts podcast is up! Check it out for in-depth coverage of the film's plot as well as discussion of several reader comments, including those from our very own members. Special thanks were given to our site, so that alone makes it worth a listen.

We have spoken to both the theater's programmer and manager. The event is fully booked for May 25th. Details to come.

I finally managed to find a copy of S.C.A.R.S. at the local flea market, so I'm pretty excited to give this hidden gem a shot. Will post thoughts sometime in the future.

I just had this thought today: Yes, Koopa is a big germophobe. However, what if part of this is because he doesn't want any fungus to get on him? We know that the king/fungus is sentient, so it would make sense that Koopa is always trying to make sure he's sanitized so fungus can't get on him and hu...

IGN has a pretty cool article/image detailing the entire Mario Party saga: http://wii.ign.com/articles/121/1218152p1.html

No it isn't. It's a completely new game that takes concepts from both 2D and 3D Mario games and turns them into something new.

http://www.1up.com/media/03/9/3/5/lg/490.jpg 1UP will be discussing Super Mario Bros. next week for their Retronauts 'Movie Month' feature on video game-related media. They're asking people to post to the blog their thoughts and feelings towards the film, so be sure to let everyone know what YOU th...

I love, love, loved the Super Show. The game characters at the time didn't have a whole lot of characterization and I liked how, although stereotypical, they gave Mario/Luigi/Princess/Toad character traits. Like how Mario is brave and always hungry and Luigi is always a coward but finds strange, cle...

Let's play "Where's Luigi?"

It really is pretty laughable--it just plays into the fact that Luigi gets shafted by Nintendo.

Still, he's getting his own game here in a couple of months

Glad to see a post from you, Zack! I really appreciate this update and am happy you took the time to share

I'm going to have to revisit some of these games and post my thoughts. I do still have my copy of Double Dash!!, and it's the launch window one with the bonus disc.

I haven't played it in years, but I remember thinking it was just okay. It's definitely much better than Mariokart Wii, however. The two-player kart setup is pretty unique. My main problem with the game is that it felt too slow, like the carts just weren't going fast enough, and some of the tracks s...

Perfectly understandable. We hope you reconsider by the time the screening happens, though, since it won't occur again until next year.

They are? Where does it officially say that New Super Mario Bros./Wii are remakes?

We're renting it straight from Disney, so no problems there. They have a whole department that facilitates screenings of their back catalog.

You guys are way over-analyzing this. Princess Toadstool in the NES Super Mario Bros. looks nothing like she does in later games, but that doesn't mean it's not the same character in the game. Actually no, she does look a bit like Princess Peach. They have long hair, wear the same type of dress, ar...

I'm really wanting to pick up S.C.A.R.S. if I can find it cheap somewhere. Supposed to be a pretty fun racing/multiplayer game, N64 "hidden gem," as it were.

You guys are way over-analyzing this. Princess Toadstool in the NES Super Mario Bros. looks nothing like she does in later games, but that doesn't mean it's not the same character in the game. Same thing with Koopa. He's the same as Bowser. Remember, he's still called Koopa in Japan (or was for a wh...

Keep shaving it off. That way it'll grow in more.
